Artist's Comments

I don't do a lot of fan art. When asked about this, I claim that my fandoms don't usually arouse the sort of passion in me to inspire the attention span required to make serious art about them.

Then I remembered Gren.

I wouldn't count Cowboy Bebop as my all-time favorite anime (its definitely in my top 8, but probably not number one). But if I had to pick an all-time favorite anime character, Gren is definitely it.

I've never been so moved by a bit-plot character who only appears in two episodes. Call it affection for a fellow saxophonist. ^^ But Space Lion/Goodnight Julia will make me cry every time.

I'd like critiques on this, if you please. It doesn't look done to me and I want opinions.

Gren is a Shinichiro Watanabe brainthing.

I love his intense expression and the colors!
I'd have added some musical note, but it's not essential. Bravo!

I like the colors, but the collar bone is... a little off; it seems like it's going downward too much.

other than that, awesome job

On my fix-it list already, but thanks. :D *thumbs up*

I love this! Man, Gren was one of my fav Cowboy Bebop characters...Sigh, I miss that show. The only thing I could truly critque is that his shoulders are a little small...? Or is that just me? Otherwise this great! Good Job!

Now I can see things for what they really are
I guess I'm not that far
I'm at the point of no return
Just watch me burn!

I'd say the only thing I can see right off is that the eyes look kind of tightly closed and sunken in, if you know what I mean. I would say either make the eyelids a bit longer or do something I learned from art class-draw the eye socket(like aviator glasses), draw the eyeball inside the socket, and then draw the skin over the top, forming the eyelid. That's something that's always helped me. Drawing from life always helps too. The hair , sax, and colors are nice. Good detail with the saxophone. The hair could have some more highlights and lowlights in it overall so it won't look like one mass, but other than that it's fine. I think that's all I have to say about it. Overall, good job! BTW, I think Gren's story was really the most grabbing side story out of Cowboy Bebop, aside from the blind girl and her brother who was trying to get that plant for her.
:iconprivate-ai:
Yeah that ep with the blind girl and her brother was so sad. ;_;

But Gren had two eps so he still wins. XD
:iconplatohedrum:
Very nice work, one of my favorite shows and characters.
