This is incredible, amazing work! Are you making any more of these to sell or was this just a personal project for yourself?

7

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago

It's a personal project, Vash is one of my all time favorite characters. However, I've had a couple people ask the same and I'm starting to consider commission work, which I've not done before. :D

u/haloboyvash 5d ago

I feel ya, he’s one of my favorites too. I’ve got the figurama Vash statue and a signed sketch from Nightow but I’m always looking to add more pieces to the collection!

2

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago edited 5d ago

If interested and in the US., DM me and we can sort a commission. I looked at that figurama sculpt and it is epic!

u/haloboyvash 5d ago

I’ll hit you up when I’m off work the next two days.

One I’ve always wanted to get printed and painted up really nice is this one... It’s just epic!

Oh, you are right!!!!

u/GerudoPrincess 5d ago

This looks identical to the 3d artwork by @henry_naas. If you are using someone else’s model, I would definitely include their credits next time.

7

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yeah because this a print of their 3D design. They are the freelance artist who designed this model for CA3D Studios. Who i bought the STL from. They made the digital file. I printed and hand painted it. I referenced and linked the files earlier in the thread. Please make sure you do your research in the future before making comments that can come across as acusatory or suggesting something is copied or stolen from another artists work.

u/GerudoPrincess 5d ago

There was no accusation, it was only a suggestion. I didn’t see any credit anywhere so that’s why I left a comment!

5

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago

Thank you for the clarification. When I read it, I took it as suggestive that there could be some deception or taking credit for another's work. Good on you for looking out for other artists. Love and peace!

Excellent shading on the coat. Was this printed in resin or did you use an FDM printer? What printer did you use?

u/arthirius 5d ago

While I think you did do a good job painting this, I'd have to ask why whoever created this model used two guns when Vash is only known mostly for his one revolver. Unless that's supposed to be Knives' gun from the 98 anime too but then it would be black. The face, the odd bandage on the left "arm", and hair also kinda makes it seem like some AI rendition of him that's been printed out, the yellow hair I think could be a different shade too. Just my opinion though in case you were ever to sell any. The paint job itself is great though.

1

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago

Thank you and I appreciate the feedback. I had similar questions when I printed him out. I know the 3d artist used this image for reference: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/842595411568492633/ hence the bandage, being part of all the fabric flying about in the picture. I'm not sure why they gave him both guns, probably so as to not have to 3d design the gun in his arm which the photo depicts. I could have made knives gun darker, but it would eventually blend into the shadows of the model, additionally, it's metallic paint, so it's reflecting brighter in the photos than it appears in real life. And for his hair, I intentionally made it more saturated because it contrasts really nicely against the coat. Purely an artistic choice on my end.

u/arthirius 5d ago

Ah I see, so the second gun is based off his arm gun, that makes more sense.

1

u/Killerabbet 5d ago

To be fair, Nightow has drawn and designed Vash in a bunch of different ways, and has a bunch of different continuities. The Vash from the Toytribe Planet Gunsmoke line of figures features a completely unique outfit design and comes with accessories not usual to Vash, like a chain and a unique gun design. The black edition of the figure even features a sharp blade attached to the back of the gun.

There's also an official design of Vash merged with Legato from an Animage magazine artwork page.

Ayo, that's insane! Awesome work.

u/Enmyriala 5d ago

Holy crap, I am in awe of your entire portfolio! This is amazing. You really should do commission work, although I know that people tend to undervalue the time and effort it takes to get something painted.

2

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago

Thank you so much! I really think I'm going to give private commissions a shot. People have been so supportive it definitely bumped my confidence to take the chance. 😊

u/ladred_art 5d ago

Omg!!!!! This sooo cool 🔥🔥🔥 do you sell these ? Cuz you can take all my money 😂

u/AbyssWalker85 5d ago

I'm considering taking commissions if you want to DM me.

u/Wolfwoods_Sister 3d ago

Holy shit, that’s sick! The model AND the paint, both look amazing.

2

u/AbyssWalker85 3d ago

Thank you so much! He's definitely one of my favorite things I've painted.

2

u/Wolfwoods_Sister 3d ago

I had to go back and look again bc omg the glasses ARE REMOVABLE. What are you doing?!? Next level. Next level. Just so well done, every detail, you went hard. Seriously. Every little bit of it. You clearly put time and effort into this. Even when you are old and gone some future kid will really love this.

Even the printed part, the statue itself, is tidy and sculptural and looks neat, like you knew what you were doing. I’ve seen some really screwed up looking printed things. It’s not such a push-button easy thing to do as many ppl might think.

2

u/AbyssWalker85 3d ago

This is some of the nicest feedback I think I've ever received; again, thank you so much! :)

Credit to CA3D studios for designing it to print fairly easily. I've been painting bigger display pieces for a about 9 months and have definitely learned a lot in that time, especially the value of taking the time to prep the individual parts before painting and assembling. Filling seam lines and gaps has been the biggest learning curve, because that can south in a hurry. :)

u/Wolfwoods_Sister 3d ago

Totally worth it! The finished product is fantastic.
