I try to stay awake and remember my name...

Bucky Barnes
Done at last. It took some tinkering... which I'm not overly fond off. I find that when I tinker for too long my strokes cramp up and everything feels really uptight. But sometimes you just have to keep trying to get it the way you want it. One small advantage for me here is that I am very stubborn by nature.
But here he is... and here is where I leave it for now.
For those who haven't watched 'Captain America - The First Avenger' or 'The Winter Soldier' - SPOILER ALERT - ... When sergeant James Buchanan Barnes fell of the train he actually survived. In the fall his left arm came off.  He was then found by Hydra and brainwashed and turned into a very efficient assassin with a metal arm known as the Winter Soldier.

There must have been a moment, before all memories of his old life were stripped away, the last flicker of Bucky, before the metal arm was attached and the winter soldier took over. How long did he try to resist? how hard did he try remain who he was?

I try to stay awake and remember my name,
but everybody's changing and I don't feel the same'

      Thank you very much. I'm so happy you like it. After I saw catw I just couldn't get the image of his flashback out of my mind, and I just had to do a painting of that moment before it all went to hell.

    I just found this floating around Tumblr unattributed, and had to do some creative reverse image searching to find the origin. This is such beautiful, haunting art! I just reposted it on Tumblr, and wanted to share the link so you can see how your work is being appreciated: http://brighteyedjill.tumblr.com/post/128503351960/post-fall-bucky-by-anne-terkelsen-whos-not-on. Thank you for sharing this gloriousness!

      Hi Jill. I'm glad you liked my painting :-) It can be a bit difficult to keep track of my artwork out on the web. Unfortunately some people repost rather than reblog which eliminates any trace back to the owner of the piece. I do have a tumblr. In fact I have two... but the one for my art is: http://annethevikingart.tumblr.com/ You can find the link to it on the top right hand corner of this blog as well. It's the one called 'Frustration Ink Art on Tumblr'.
      I really appreciate you turning detective to find out where the painting came from. This one was posted before I started adding my blog address on my paintings, so yeah. Good job :-) And thank you :-)
