Artist's Comments

Not one to bemoan something and not do something to rectify it if I can, I have created more Vincent Volaju fanart for the world!

Also a practice at speed painting too, this took about 5 hours on and off, done from scratch in Photoshop CS2, using a few screenshots from the movie. I was aiming to make him more realistic, but without loosing any of the style that makes him Vincent.

For those who don't know, this is Vincent, the baddie from Cowboy Bebop, The Movie/Knockin' on Heaven's Door, which I absolutely love to bits and am awaiting payday so I can buy the entirety of the tv series. As a baddie, Vincent scores pretty highly, because
a) he has long floofy hair and face fur
b) he's plotting to destroy the world
c) he has a gun, and he actually shoots people with it and hits them
d) he can kick the good guys butt
e) he doesn't let things like women get in the way of business
f) he has a wonderfully gravelly voice
g) he's not truly bad at heart, just a product of his past.
All of the above make for a fantastic bad guy. And some groovy fanart. The gun in the pic isn't the one he uses in the movie, it's actually a Glock... why? Because Glocks are pretty and easy to find reference for. It was either that or a Sig, which I'm also aesthetically inclined towards, if you take away the whole lethal weapon thing, handguns are almost pieces of art in their own right. But I ramble. Enjoy the art!

Thank you! If I continue with this, I will put more detail into the hair, but the problem with hair is once you detail a bit of it, you have to do pretty much all of it. I did the bits round the face just to draw attention, but I'm trying to not go into lots of detail and still have a reasonable pic by the end of it!

As for tutorials... hmm.. I'd recommend checking out all of Linda Bergkvists tutorials, and her work in general: [link]
And Cgtalk is a minefield of info... there is there tips and techniques forum: [link]
And a thread just for 2d tutorials: [link]
The whole site taught me pretty much everything I know about digital art, just reading tutorials, looking at walkthroughs.

Indeed he was... one of the best I've seen in a long time. Thanks!

It officially rocks mine too since I bought the movie a couple of weeks ago! Thanks teutel!
:iconrenadementia:

What can I say? YOU ROCK!! :headbang: I love the different shades you use, and the dark expression on his face! The gun looks pretty cool too! ;)

And by contrast, I've seen it, like, 5 times in the past week and a half? *grins* Good that you still recognise him! Thanks for the comment.
