ohhh my god - what an awesome idea! I never would have thought of that. Your watercolor style is awesome, I love the natural brushstroke-y look - and you definitely captured what Wesley looks like, or... what he would look like if he were Illyrified :P
but oh man, can you imagine Wes running around in that sexy body armor...? XD

Gosh, this is purty! I don't know who the character is but I love the colours and expressiveness in the brushwork, and the subtle shading on the face.

This is really lovely (if creepy) work. I love the watercolors so much . . . the shading's beautiul and detailed, and I'm impressed with the effects you've managed on his outfit. The likeness is great, but his expression is so intense and arresting - you've really pulled off the concept.

This is gorgeous. I think the medium makes it look more convincing than the show's makeup and I love that Wesley's character kind of shines through...

I totally echo brille's comment above. Don't know the fandom, don't know the character, but the colors and brushwork and facial expression are all WOW.
