Title: Preventer Duo [ Anime/Manga :: Gundam Wing ] By: Darkwing_Eli
Uploaded On: Oct 13 12:28:31 2003
Charcters: Duo Maxwell
Description: This is my first real attempt for a real-life interpretation of an anime character. I added some years to Duo since I believed it was funny to imagine how he could have grown up. ^__^ I hope you like it! (I made it with watercolors, tempera and water-solub read more

now he's something i'd like to take home! I love your portrays of Duo this one & Death Crys are my favorites, they seem to have more subtext going on than many fanart.

I truly need to thank all of you that watched at this picture (and to my other works) and found time to review. Each time that I see that someone appreciated and felt even just a little joy because of my work, I feel that I didn't waste my time. Thank you. I lately completely lost my inspiration and I feel sad because of this, but your kind words truly make me feel better so thank you again. And then I must answer to those that asked me about the model. Unfortunately, there isn't a model. I wish there was. The only real model that I used is for my portrait of Heero and he's 'busy' since he's my fiancée. As for Duo…he's just my imagination. I hope he might live in yours too! ^_^

Like he has leapt off the cover of a really good Harlequin romance novel. You know the kind you just can't put doen and have to read over and over again. The drawing is like that, to be view and savored and drooled over. So very good I've finally found a new pic for my desktop. P.S. Did you modle after a real person? Can I meet him or are you planning on keeping the hunk all to yourself? Keep you the work. May your clours never fail and your fingers always be true.

Oh my word. It took me awhile to stop drooling and now your absolutely * gorgeous* picture is graceing my desktop where it will stay for a loooooooong time. This is good, very good. Draw more, of Duo, and if I may be as so bold-with less clothes to hamper the view.

This picture is awesome. I've seen Very few pictures where Duo is older than the GW time frame and none where he looks so much like a real person. Great Job!!!!

I have to say that your realistic drawings of Heero and Duo are by far the best portrayals I've ever seen. You've done an amazing job, and I've had a difficult time tearing my eyes from both images.

I must say that is probably the best drawing I have ever seen of Duo, realistic, anime, or otherwise. You are a fabulous artist. Also, proof of this is from the mere fact that I have in fact stopped saving drawings and pictures (because they take up so much room on my poor disk drive!) and I not only saved yours...but put it as my background. I shall forever tell my GW fan friends to look at that. This is going to be how I view Duo from now on. *turns green with envy and cries* I am cursed with writing ability and complete devistated lack of any ability to draw!

Oh my....I am struck dum by this image. This is the Duo that not a lot of people see. The serious, manly, confident and oh so sexy Duo Maxwell. The eyes though are the same - there is a light in his eyes and you just don't know what he seems to be thinking. Something amusing it seems. Your use of media is absolutely wonderful. Anime into realism is something I just heard of, and your picture is the first one that I have come across. I now have very high standards for such. Wonderful talent, beautiful picture.

i really enjoy this picture and your realistic Heero. so few people are able to pull off the real version of any animated character. i think you hit the nail on the head with this one, i can really see this guy being Duo. huzzah.

This is a very impressive piece, one which (happily) debunks quite a few fandom myths about Duo. He is not in any way childish, frail, or feminine here. He appears self confident (almost cocky), and while serious, not without a sense of humor. The way you approached his braid was, I thought, particularly well done. You didn't exclude it, but also didn't make it a focus of the picture; and the way you approached makes it a realistic piece. The bangs are also well done here, as a whole he has a similar silhouette to the manga version of the character, but he retains an element of realism. I like they five o'clock shadow he has, a touch not often seen in pictures. Again your proportions, especially with the hands, are well executed. I really enjoy your realistic work, and would love to see some more of it.
Title: WOW!
