Art for Untitled Bucky/Zemo Fic

Project Title: Untitled Bucky/Zemo Fic
Fandom: MCU
Warnings: N/A
Bragging Rights: Unfortunately my author had to pull out of the Bang, but I was able to make this art for their fic. The story took place in 1700s France. A pivotal section of the story takes place at a masquerade ball thus all the costume and mask imagery chosen for the moodboard. I am very proud of the manips I did for Bucky and Zemo, I couldn't do much about the modern hairstyles, but was very happy with how I was able to make them both look like they were in more historical dress.

How I Finished My Shit: A combination of pressure from the deadline and having an artist that I didn't want to disappoint!
