Finally finished the long, long overdue commission for Riffuchs. ^^
His own words will be best to describe the picture and meaning:
"You may already know Ian http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3763444/
(that's my 'current age' self). Now, I want to introduce two other Family
members of mine to you. That's dear Gwen and little Jonathan."
For everyone, who remembers her/his childhood this way.
For everyone, who wished his/her childhood had been this way.
For every parent who plans to spend time with her/his children alike.
And for every parent who does so.
The picture was done with water colors (Aquarell), DIN A3 sized. The basic layout and perspective for the room I created with Google SketchUp. Time taken... forever. ;)
The scan still doesn't do justice to the picture, the art looks so much better in real.

Wow... I love most of your work, but this one goes deeper to me.
I can well relate to the younger one as my dad was WELL into fixing little bits of electronics and things that went wrong, always trying to teach me what was wrong and how he fixed it.
As for the picture itself, it looks fantastically well drawn and coloured and I can well imagine it being a ton better in real life!
Once again another astounding work!...
...and on an unrelated side-note I just realised I'm wearing one of your "Stuck Fox" T-shirts right now... lol.

Cleanest. Lab desk. Ever.
*looks at my own*
...I wish I had it that clean, it's a mountain of crap and little pink bags with ICs in them and stuff... Oh well, some day I'll get some plastic bins or something and sort that shit somehow.
Anywho, adorable pic is adorable, I wish I had it that good when I grew up...

It's so heartwarming, and honestly looking at it brought some tears to my eyes. I'm a big daddy's girl and this reminds me of the times I used to sit on the porch and watch him fix cars, or ask him about computers (back when he was studying to be a computer technician).
The expressions are well done on this, and the whole picture itself has a very sweet vibe to it. :3

I wish my childhood was like this.
When I see parents being real parents I smile but I also am sad inside knowing even though both my parents tried to be parents they weren't the parents I needed to develop into a man who would carry on what they took the time to teach me
I know it is dark and sad but I feel like at least there are some kids outhere who will get the shot I never had in having real parents who let me be a kid but then helped me to become the man I deserve to be.
You know in two days I'm 28 but in my 28 years this is the thing I wish I could of had the most of when I needed it. I'm sure lots of adults like me feel the same way too.
Not all parents are like this and that's a real shame

I Thought you should know that this piece really captures the joy of Fatherhood and being with ones little one and helping them learn. I do such fun things with my littlest cub when it comes to computers. And yes my wife is in the background watching us have fun.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful image from your heart.

I use to stuff with the old tube sets I also wish my dad and I would have done a few things like this when I was growing up.... When he was home he was more into getting layed then being with us kids.
The nice thing is he and I have had a few heart to heart talks and he wishes he has done many things differently.. And spending time with us kids was one of them. Over the last 15 years he and I have become closer them we ever were.

Very touching and very nice artwork reminds me of my self I love to fix things and build radios my self. Father & son relationships are good to have. Now this may not seam to be something I should talk about but I would like to say this I my self my dad was never in my life much win I was a kid. And win he was in my life he stopped win he found out I was gay and and a furry and he told me that I'm not his son. Now if I had a son I would never stop loving my son gay bi or a furry I would love my son no matter what he became. So for people that have loving Fathers be happy you have them. this artwork is so beautiful and wonderful. This artwork make's me think that yes my dad was a ass but not all Fathers are that way. I my self I do have someone that did take me in as if I was his son he may not be my reel dad but to me that don't matter a reel dad is someone that love's you no matter what. to me that is what makes someone a Father
There's a few things/inconsistencies in the perspective I want to pick at because you've done such a good job with it, but I'll not mention them for the same reason. :P This is a really cute, touching image. I certainly did have a childhood like this, and in a way, I'm glad I didn't. I guess I had a few moments something like this... It's really awesome that you put all those details into the technical gadgets. :)
This is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and very touching. I had lost my father when I was 3, something like this I never had, and probably would have had if he'd still been alive to see me grow up. Even tho this was made for someone else, I kind of see myself in that kid in a 'what if' situation.
If FA had a rating system, I'd give this a solid gold 10 out of 10.

This was me. My dad introduced me to large broken TV's, large broken washing machines..
Then he shelled out big bucks and got me an Apple ][e, as well as those Radio Shack trainers.
I took apart a TON of thing before I ever started making things, except for flashlights. I made tons of flashlights, and did all sorts of experiments with Xmas lights.
~Kiyote!

This reminds me of my grandfather teaching me how to solder at a tender young age of 8~9 years old as well, hope you don't mind Riffuchs, I've put this as my wallpaper to remind myself of (one of) my heritages.
Brings a tear to my eye actually now I think about it more deeply

This is so heart warming and sweet it almost makes me wanna cry, good tears mind you. It is so touching.
I remember days like that with my daddy, when he kept me out of school to work on a fence in our back yard. My mom still to this day does not know that we did that. It was so much fun, so this is just so sweet.
The detail is amazing and the colors are so warm you can almost feel the love.

This is a bittersweet piece to look at... I've always wanted to think that I could have had that kind of relationship with my dad, but when I turned 12... he changed. He wasn't the dad who wanted to hang out, or the dad that wanted to be a part of my life. It seems like he dropped off the face of the planet.
I got kicked out about a month ago, with the last days of me living with him being filled with anger and violence. He was nothing like I could ever remember him being... and I still continue to try and make excuses for him. This piece makes me tear up a bit, thinking that most relationships these days aren't actually like this in the least.
This isn't a pity party comment... this is a beautiful piece about how fatherhood should really be. I know that I've learned from the mistakes of my own dad. I think hard childhoods make better parents... if they have the sense to make things right.

This is reminiscent of my childhood, except that the electronics were plastic and balsa wood models that my dad would show me how to build. The electronics part came when I was around 13 years old (yes, they had electronics back then ;) and I was the only one in the family who messed around with it. The room in this picture somewhat resembles the spare bedroom in my place, which I call "the lab", since it does contain vacuum tube radios, tube testers and even a GE voltmeter from 1909. The last time I checked, it still worked.
I absolutely adore this piece of artwork.

when i was that age, vacume tubes is what there was.
transisters were still a novelty, and i.c.'s were just a dream and a rumor and a concept. anything like the kind of computers we've got today, and the idea of so many of us having them, would have been pure fantasy. the railroad my dad worked for had him taking a wire-chief course, which meant learning tube and relay electronics, which was my introduction to it, reading his books and looking over his sholder.
we never had a workspace like that, although the signal maintainers might have.

This reminds me of when I was really young my dad used to build things in his wood shop in the basement and I used to watch and "help". I don't remember doing much but I really do remember him doing wood carving and watching The New Yankee Workshop on PBS with him. I really miss those days now since we don't do that much together anymore. He was going to help me build a cabinet but I don't think he is anymore. Kind of sad too since I really wanted to make a project with him.
This is by far my favorite pic of all time. It's just so touching and sweet... And makes me hope my son likes electronics when he's a bit older.. I'm an amateur electronics engineer now (ran out of money to keep going to college), but hopefully I will be able to set up a nice lab like the one in your picture in the next few years..
Btw, if there are prints available of that pic, I would LOVE to own one.

This one still gets me, years later... I'll think of it and smile, though I had so few experiences to compare. More likely to butt heads with my father than work together on something...
And now I'm a HAM myself, my father never having been... The 'engineer' kid to a 'tradesman' father, instead of the engineer kid to the engineer father that I wish I'd been... But then I wouldn't be me *sighs*
Thank you Tani, for making artwork so timeless, so perfectly capturing the emotions of the moment, that even today I can remember this piece fondly =^.^=

Seeing this does bring back some good memories with my dad back in South Africa as a young pup...
Making my wooden toys in the garage and learning how to make my own was tons of fun back then...
I do plan on doing the same for my kids when I do get around to getting some
