*whistles* Admittedly it's kind of creepy seeing Vash not look anime, but it's a REALLY excellent piece. All the little details are great.

Ha, I just noticed the cat xD

fairMaien [2009-12-29 18:51:11 +0000 UTC]

This is mind blowing. Plus is it just me or is there a hidden image of the cat behind him? And in my opinion he looks more like chris pine.

T-Smith [2009-08-04 23:27:49 +0000 UTC]

his facial features remind me of Hayden Christensen (at least I believe that's his name). Were you at all thinking of him when you drew this? Or was this purely imagination and from manga image of vash.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DaleNorvell In reply to T-Smith [2009-10-23 14:43:13 +0000 UTC]

You are right, I used Hayden as a visual reference for Vash and Knives, since they are twins. (sorry for the late reply)

T-Smith In reply to DaleNorvell [2009-10-30 03:26:12 +0000 UTC]

He has a very manly but innocent look to him as Vash does. I think you captured it well. I have to look at Knives, I admit I haven't yet.

I'll say your art is really good as far as style goes and coloring, yet for me the only thing that bothers me about it are the following:

1. The lips(I'm not sure what it is, but they're turning me off)
2. The hair(I read the comment you made in responce to a previous post, but still the hair, I think you could've done it much better. You have the talent to do it better)
3. The jeans and blue. I am a HUGE Trigun fan, but Vash doesn't wear jeans. That might have been a style choice on your part, but that was the one thing I remember fairly well that Vash didn't wear.

What I would've liked to have seen was maybe the sunglasses in his hands or something. Other than that, AMAZING job, you have beautiful art.

Hey, that's fair. I think your suggestion about the sunglasses is a good one. I shoulda thought of that. Thanks!

But really, beautiful piece. I love the style-though I do kinda wish you had one more tone in the hair-a highlight to bring out Tongari's spikiness ^^

Yeah, I used Hayden as a reference for both Knives and Vash. (Since they are twins). If you recognize him I guess that means I captured him well enough!

He looks so good. I love Vash. How do you make him look so real? I don't even know if you're on deviant anymore, but I bet you have some big shot job now since you made this.
