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.
The lighting on the saxophone and his skin are fantastic, and I like how he's realistic and still recognizable in your style (and a bit Asian.) (And somebody already said something about his collar-bone, so I'll shut up.)
Gren was my favorite character. ;~;

Wow, I've never seen someone do a fanart of Gren. He's also one of my favorites, and I have always loved Space Lion as one of my favorite songs. Yoko Kanno is a genius lol. I have no negitive critique to offer, I feel that this is a very moving picture, just like the song he's playing ^_^

Can't tell you how much I love this picture ^.^ the only critique I have for it (if you still want it even, I know you submitted this a few years ago) but the mouthpiece looks a little too sideways, like you can see too much of the reed. It almost looks like its too crooked in his mouth....but still, I agree Gren is my favorite anime character (maybe for the sax love too) but this give me so much joy everytime I look at this picture ^_^ Thanks for sharing.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!

I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
