An actual oil painting, holy geez! Just like the old days, if any of you remember before FA existed, when I used to be primarily an oils guy schlepping big paintings to cons :D
So I did this about a year and change ago, when I had my room set up to paint (and no time to paint, but I managed to get this one done) I hadn't planned on selling it because I like it a lot, but I have a lot of art and not enough wall space, and I figured this guy deserves a good home.
24x36", Oil on stretched canvas. I'll rig it for hanging before I ship it if it's sold, or we can discuss framing options if the money is there. The piece is almost as big as my 42" HDTV, and I'll post a couple more pictures next to something for size comparison
I'll probably put it up for auction soon unless I get a really good offer first (I'm happy to keep the piece if I don't, hah) so note me if you want to wave money at me :D
(note about painting commissions: they're a special case, if you're interested, know that they're A) extremely expensive compared to digital work B) require me to set up a whole side of my garage just to paint, and are C) are time consuming and a much more deliberate process than me doing fast digital stuff, but yes, note me and we can talk)

I have always limited my purchase of art at auctions to original pieces that move me emotionally.
There is something in this piece. It's very difficult to explain, but it is definitely something to do with the use of the brush rather than the tablet. With a tablet, the movements made by the artist are precise and controlled, variation means mistake. But on canvas, you are working vertically and have far, far less precise control, meaning your emotions have a far, far more significant role.
I will always prefer large format art, not just because its bigger, but because it means the artist has directly input their emotion into the piece.
It is my hope that one day, furries will know more about, and thus better appreciate, artistic talent. As a fursuit maker, I'm painfully aware of this. I hand-craft every costume I make. I do not use molded foam heads like some big makers are now using. But furries buy those costumes for a premium price, despite how little work goes into them. But a head is where the creative talent lies, and you certainly can't put emotion into a mold. Superficial, popular art has its place, that's for sure. But in my home, on my walls, there is only room true artistic expression.
And hopefully tomorrow, this piece will be mine to frame and put on my wall. And if by some miracle I don't (my budget is twice your asking), I do want to thank you for putting it in the art show so we could see it and appreciate it, even if for just one weekend (seeing this piece in person is a whole different experience than what you see here, and is why you should go to art auctions if you have an appreciation for true art.)
