This is Cat, from Joan D. Vinge's Cat trilogy. This is Cat during the time of the second book, Catspaw. Please read these books! There is pretty much no internet fanbase and I would love to see more of this fellow.

Wow! That is really cool!! He looks a bit sallow or bitter or fierce or all three. Great emotion, I love it! Great job!

I'm not entirely thrilled with the set of the interpretation. Cat's a warm guy at heart, you know, kinda sweet if you know genuine cypunks, street slags, or even free-lance assassins (yeah, they're all real. Some of them even enjoy DeviantArt and Elfwood). Makes you wonder if he really could have survived where he did.
Still...
I read the first two, and kid's got a kind of strength he doesn't even know. You don't go through his kid-side story and come out with a full working head, heart and hope (and a fully loaded personality aside) lest you got something stronger than any merce.

My point: The picture is sweet enough, a razor survivor who keeps to himself and keeps a watch of everything inside and out without paranoia. Works well for a street or bar thug (with a dash of class). I simply think it lacks the personality that makes the cat Cat.

Artistically? You'd make one interesting c-strip watercolor artist. Just try on sharper contrast of color and lines with less given detail for classic, or more elegantly intricate details for a more photosurrealistic poster.
