Description Sometimes I'll re-draw a deviation to see how I've improved since. Here's a retry of this one:



I didn't hate the original, but his ear and lips were REALLY bothering me. And sometimes, man, you just gotta draw Spike and all his jew-fro glory.

Cool! I love the bent cigarette, and the background is great! His hair kinda reminds me of the Fourth Doctor, though. Still, this is a really cool piece of work.

'Course I like it, Spike is cool as hell and that starry rocks. Steve Blum gave a nod to Spike by saying "Bang" at the end of Toonami's final broadcast. Even that didn't move me as much as when he said it as Spike.

You can definitely tell how your coloring has changed... The newer version is a much more polished and glossy style. I like the sky better in this one, but I think I like the smoke better in the older version! It just looks more wispy and wiry, about to dissipate, like real smoke would. The amazing jew-fro has improved haha

Thank you so much! I'm so happy ye think I've gotten better here. Though I see what ye mean about the smoke! Though I don't know - the original struck me as too... stylized, or... approximate, or something. Nonliteral, like... symbolic. I don't even know what I'm saying, ha. But YAY, thank you so much!

JEW-FROOOOOO.

MercuryIsLove [2011-05-24 05:59:45 +0000 UTC]

You've definitely improved--a lot considering the older version isn't even a year old!
I like the color and style (I guess that's the word) of the new one more, but I think I prefer the . . . mood (or is it tone?) of the older version. They're both lovely though.

Haa, I should do a REALLY old deviation next. x3 I love seeing improvement. Sometimes when I'm bored on dA I'll just look at peoples' improvement memes. I don't even know why.

Supposedly he was actually meant to resemble a totally non-jew Japanese movie star.

Hm, that's neat! :3 I just like the fanon idea. The fro, the nose, "Spiegel," and the Israeli-make gun. It's a fun idea, anyway.

Ah the Jericho 914, I so want one, just because Spike uses one.

On the upshot, I've heard it's based on the CZ75, a famed Czech "wonder nine", which is then used by the main character of Gunsmith Cats.
