Old art by Sammi. It's great and, as you'll see by the end, she's only gotten greater.

The Venom Signet ring. This is the closest thing to a personal symbol Vansin has. This art was done by Mka, an amazing artist whose work I happy refer people to upon request. I don't think she does commissions much these days, since her time is now taken by much more important things than indulging people like me. She is also the artist of what is, in my opinion, the definitive picture of Vansin:

This is a lineart done by Kitteh', one of a pair of cute best friends whose art I adore. They've both done art for me of various characters, but this piece in particular was one I found particularly amusing, as I never imagined how good Van would look in purple. Kitteh' also should be commended for placing Van's horns very well, and making him look accurately unamused.
This piece is a cropped version of a collaborative effort between the BFF twins, the other of whom is called Cash, or at least was when I met her. The woman in the picture is Vivana Merquise, Vansin's main squeeze. Leave it to a pair of yaoi obsessed twentysomethings to make Vansin such a gorgeous looking fiend.

Hieitheepic created this amazing bit of work. This is Vansin in his battle-armor, posed atop a mountain of what I can only assume used to be his enemies. The attention to detail here is exceptional, so I encourage you to take a closer look at just about every bit of it.

And here we come full circle. Sammi, one of my oldest friends and favorite artists on Gaia takes another stab at depicting Vansin and hits the bullseye. This sleek, powerful picture evokes the more visceral terror of fighting the fiend. Despite his high-class look, Vansin is a fleeting and rapacious murderer and she captures it all in the angry, dangerous, sexy glare behind the parted curtains of hair.
