Danny Kay...that's who he reminds me of. *shrug* Not complaining, Danny Kay would have been an excellent Vash. 
Beautiful coloring, love the realism, and jeans? LOL! Excellent.

I think I like this one the best, and I like how added the cat on the wall.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it, and that you noticed the cat. I almost put a realistic looking black cat in the picture, but decided to add the more recognizable "kuroneko" on the wall instead.

Personally I think it was probably better that you did. Goes with the show, and just feels right. Also who did you use as a reference? I think you said you said it before, but I must have missed it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you're probably right about the cat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I think it he looks really good. Sadly I hated him as Anakin'Vader in that movie. He's acting was soooooo bad. >.< But he looks good in this pic. *nods*

Thank you! I'm gonna try to draw him again, more traditionally, with his gun and glasses and all that. Except i'm gonna use a different model. Here's hoping it turns out okay!

👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow... I'm really impressed! Even drawn realistically he has that same dreamy demeanour about him. The line of the body is fantastic!

I love how you put koroneko(sp? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh heh, thanks for noticing Kuroneko! 
What he's thinking about? Well, my train of thought on this image was that he was taking a break in an alley-way to cool off, thus opening his jacket to ventilate.
I've thought about doing the girls.....hmmmm....
Oh, and your signature is funny.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm.... suggestions. Nope, just keep doing what you're doing. I think he looks fantastic! ^-^ I'll have to give you a watch so I can see the new Vash. But you should do the girls! Then you'd have the whole set.
If Vash wanted to cool off he would've been better off if he lost the thick red coat and black jumpsuit. 
Oh, thank you.

It's a beautiful piece of work and I could never do anything like it myself.. I can't even draw a straight line *grin*. But eventhough this is an amazing piece of art, it doesn't like one bit like Vash. He just has no resemblence to the Vash you see in Trigun and it feels like you've somehow made him european in his look. Only thing that hints at him being Vash is the red coat.. but I love that you remembered the cat!
So to recap, beautiful piece of art but doesn't look like Vash.
No offence intended.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naw, I don't take any offense! Critiques are alot more helpful than straight out compliments anyway.
I have always wanted to take another crack at a realistic Vash portrait, but have it be more traditional with his jacket closed and with his glasses and gun.
Any suggestions on how to do better?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you're ok with my comment
Well, maybe make his lips a little less filled, if you get my drift? And maybe make his hair longer, I mean with products, you can get anyones hair to look like Vash's IRL
And maybe make him look more dangerous than sweet and soft. Eventhough the guy can be so darn funny, he's pretty dangerous and I guess most of us knows him either as the doughnut eating crazed Vash, or the killing machine Vash, and if you're going with the glasses, gun and closed coat and all, I'd definitly recommend going the dangerous path. (don't forget those reflections in the glasses that almost makes them shine)
Oh and don't forget, the coat makes him look very wide over his shoulders and it's got a big collar
I guess that's all from me. Good luck with the new edition, I can't wait to see it

Hmmn.. I guess my comp wont let me see it right now, but I remember that I like the pose a lot and the coloring job is great. His eyes are a beautiful blue, he looks a little beat up, and the blue jeans make it more modern. Its great.
