Description Vash the Stampede is probably the last person who will tell you he has a beautiful body.

I've always seen a lot of beauty in the character's scars because he "earns" them by helping people and by refusing to kill. To me, there is a lot of spiritual beauty there.

~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, the story of this piece is that Vash got hurt again, shot in a couple of places protecting random, innocent bystanders from a group of robbers. He's laid up and rather bored, gazing out the window wishing he could go outside. He feels like he can get up and get out, but he knows that if he does, Meryl will chew him out and Milly will give him her sad-puppy eyes. He doesn't want to worry the girls, so he's letting himself rest and heal.

As boring as it is.

~~~~~~~~~

Photoshop 5, Wacomb tablet, ABUSE of the smudge tool, (mild use of filters on the wall and floor only), and hours I didn't count.

If the color is off, let me know. I didn't get to do a test print of this due to lack of ink.

I really enjoy the colors you used to shade as well as the textures on the walls. And the scars really grab my attention.

Yaaay for you! Veddy good! I like the detail on the window. He looks like he wants to go outside so bad!

This is a great pic you can just stare at and get right in the scene. Great work, the colours look great and you've managed to emulate the textures you do so well in your traditional paintings really nicely. Love it!!

I really like this... his scars are well done of course and just the look in his face, like he wishes he could go out! I like the coloring.
