Beyond the *incredible* beauty & detail, this also touches on an aspect of Vanitas that isn't usually thought of. I recently read a story the Japanese author decided to do in English, after reading one of the Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep official novels.
So they pretty much translated a section that dealt with everything about Vanitas, How he was created, why he looks like Sora, & he why he acted the way he did. It was *so* sad, hearing about how much longing, pain & agony he was forced to live in, envying Ven for everything he had. Constantly hurting himself by defeating his own 'monsters' that were created from his own 'feelings'. He even cried a few times, before realizing no one cared, so it was stupid to cry at all. (Harsh, I know)
Your picture *totally* expresses all these aspects of his character that you don't usually see in fanart It's so beautiful, too!
vanitas is my fave character, check out my OC, Blaiz, the pic isn't too great, but her story's pretty detailed. i made her kinda like a big sister to him. she doesn't know where he came from, but she can tell he needs some love and guidance. (that's what i'd do anyway, i'm sure he'd be sweet if someone had given him the affection he needed)
You didn't bug me at all Actually, I've only heard about the novel being done & released in Japanese. I don't know what their plans are for release here in the US, if any.
I read this very awesome translation/summary of part of the novel ([link] talking only about Vanitas' experiences before the storyline really started. The person did a really good job, & I hope it can be of some use for you n_n . If you live outside the US &/or speak Japanese, there are tons of places to order them from, I'd think. Maybe look through the KH Fansites, they *may* have something too. <3
