RQG requests #5 & #6, because not one, but TWO anons asked for cel and barnes, and i think these make for a lovely pair! one of the requests was for them on the bear specifically, so of Course i had to draw the moment of The Line in eat, drink and be merry. if that could be the start of their relationship, i thought it would be sweet to pair it up with an anniversary at sea, after the end. they had 30 years ♥
the first one was simple but it’s really cute. the second one needed a little bit of fixing cause barnes’s head looked too big 😂
pencil on paper and digital colors.
purple fineliner and colored pencils on paper.

[ID: two drawings of barnes and cel. the first one is of them at the inn on the bear, in eat, drink and be merry. it's drawn traditionally with pencil and colored digitally, in sepia and orange tones. it shows barnes to the left and cel to the right, sitting next to each other at the breakfast table, facing each other in profile. barnes has medium-dark skin and long, straight black hair half pulled up in a warrior's knot. he's wearing his commander's coat and a wide open billowy shirt. his hat is hanging from the back of his chair, to his right. he's sitting up very straight, with his hands hanging shyly to the edge of the table, close together. he has a slightly surprised expression and is blushing. to the right, cel is leaning towards him with their chin resting on their right hand, left arm slung over the back of their chair. they're looking into his eyes with an interested, confident smirk. they're wearing a fur-lined coat, long dark gloves and their goggles. their skin is pale and their hair is blond, tall and spiky. there's two empty plates pushed away from them both on the table, and a wooden glass to barnes's right. the wall behind them is plain, and the door at the center frames them together.
the second drawing shows cel and barnes in the venga, older, watching the sunset together. it's drawn with a thin purple marker colored with a warm palette of colored pencils. they're shown from the hips up, with their backs to the viewer, but again facing each other in profile, with cel to the left and barnes to the right. they both have an arm around the other's waist, and are holding champagne glasses out to the sides with their free hands. they're smiling warmly as the sun sets behind them, right between their faces. cel maintains their design from the previous illustration, only with a few more laughter lines, a bandanna beneath their goggles, and slightly shorter hair. barnes stands a little shorter than cel, and has a beard and longer hair, the top half pulled back into a braid, and the rest still loose. his face is also somewhat wrinkled and he looks up at cel with adoration. the sea is calm and colored with orange. the sunset sky is red, orange and yellow, while the railing of the boat and the two figures are colored with darker reds. end ID]

i think with lower stakes cel and carter would have so much fun together with all that energy and they would cause so much mischief and egg each other on, and barnes would keep them in check just enough to stop them from getting too carried away and they'd both love him so much and what i'm saying is. we need more cel/barnes/carter content
