Rock out loud!

I can only imagine the sort of pride and sense of accomplishment you must get when you see this piece finished. I was amazed by the detail and sheer size of the linework alone...and have been waiting to see the colored version ever since.

THIS is simply phenominal...on so many levels. The lighting is fantastic for the time of day it is in the image...the detail on the fur...just...wow.

Excellent piece of work!

It is a great sense of achievement for me when I get to see the finished fruits of my labors.. and after the amount of time this piece took, that meant even more. This is the most time I have ever spent on a piece. But it does show me that given enough time and patience, I can achieve things I didn't think possible of me.

That's certainly true. Time is truly the great leveler...and enough time spent on anything can only improve it further. I personally love detail in any kind of artwork...and the level of that in this piece is astounding. Definitely something well worth putting the time and effort into.

Again, absolutely excellent work. Do please keep it up.

Whoa. Whoa whoa WHOA.

The amount of time and effort... makes my brain sizzle. Just amazing. Well done.

Holy mother of some relgions God... you never stop amazing me. THAT is a lot of work.

*bows* You have my full admiration. *claps*

Simply... wow. This is incredible. So much detail everywhere you look. 120 hours!! Your patience is as amazing as this picture.

I think its your best work. I was amazed from the lineart and now color, very nice. This will make a killer desktop wall paper across both my monitors meow. :3

-Z

Wonderful

wow great piece!

dang you sure did this one good! very very beautiful!

:D Holy crap. I wonder how much the commissionner paid for this :O

I was wondering that myself.

First rule of Furbid:

If an artist's commission slots are full, it's Bernard Doove's fault.

To be truthful, I'd rather not say. I don't wan't the price to overshadow the artwork, and I think it might be viewed as bragging, and rude to the commissioner to put that information on display. I was adequately compensated for my time, but I'd rather not say exactly...

Try paying more than one thousand five hundred dollars. Your an overpriced slut is what you are Kacey, admit it. Othe artists wouldn't have asked THAT much for something like this.

Need I also mention that YOU CAN'T DRAW WORTH SHIT? Your a pathetic artist, and there will always be others that are better than you. Draw all you want, you'll never get better.

I'd give up drawing if I were you. Ha ha ha!

--Mozdoc

Wow, you are so utterly full of contradictions. One day you're writing a 51-line letter saying, "You told me this before that trying to be an artist is worthwhile... apparently not though if nobody even can compare to your artwork. Where the hell is some competition? Your so fucking good that nobody can even compare to you, it gives you an unfair advantage over everybody else that draws stuff like you, and makes starting out artists like me realize how... how impossible it is to achieve anything."

...and then next you post this. :/

Actually, artists in this fandom are grossly undervalued and underpaid. 1500 dollars is closer to what you'd pay a professional artist outside of the fandom especially if you want to buy the right to have it reproduced in for example a magazine.
And regardless of what your pathetic ass thinks, Kacey -is- a professional and highly skilled artist, so have fun sucking on your bile, these grapes will be forever out of your reach.

can u say jelosy lololz

I think you can.

Something tells me it's new restraining order time.

Now, I don't mean to bring this oddball subject up again, but if I had $1500 to spend, I'd definitely go for it, at least once. And she most assuredly HAS gotten better over the years. I know I'm not much of an artist, but my eyes are some of the finest out there and, for me, it's plainly visible.

What a retard

Wow. That is amazing! I am a big fan of your work, and I love the detail, it musthave taken forever to get every single character in there!

Oh my goodness! Such an enormous picture would have killed me. :P I must salute your hard work. :) *salute*

Holy crap lots of details!

OH MY GOODNESS! You actually colored it o_o I faved the line art when you posted it, I could never imagine you'd color the whole thing. You must be either very insane or very dedicated, I suppose the second one goes for you.

I can't tell you how much I admire your willpower and dedication to pull through a project as huge as this. If there was a noble prize for insanely large and detailed furry projects, you should get it.

LOL to be honest, I think that 'insane' fits the bill rather nicely. Don't get me wrong, I am dedicated and love my work, but it does amount to an obsession. I've always been a bit.. screwy in the head when it comes to art, but I guess it's just as well ^.^.

This is an extremely beautiful and complex piece.

blooming holy nelly o.o just curiouse, how much didthis commission cost o.o

wow~~ i dont wanna think about the time and stress of this o_o and yes i see the 120 hrs but still, i dont have THAT kind of time on my hands <P

this is like the best pic that i have ever seen with a TON of character. this is definatly worth faving <3

18"x40" of pure marvel.. this is just amazing!!

O_O Holy shit!
This is so awesome!

Wow - 120 characters ought to be a sight to see!. I think the most characters I've ever seen on a single piece of art is a poster I got at Anime Expo, specifically commissioned for Anime Expo '97 that has hundreds of chibi versions of most of the popular anime characters through the 70's, 80's and early 90's. I haven't got it up on my wall since we moved, but it is quite the spectacle. We used to stare at it identifying characters and looking for characters..

That is one of the most amazing pieces I have *ever* seen. The detail draws the eye so much...

There's no way I could possibly make AC this year, which is a shame, because I'd *really* love to see that up close. Is there any way you could make prints available for order? That's something that would definitely set aside funds for.

I think what we are going to do with the prints, is make 11"x17" prints available - at the con, and after the con through Furbid, or directly contacting me.. A normal sized print (8.5"x11" just wouldnt show hardly anything, and it seems wrong to break it into pieces, because undoubtedly it would cut some characters head in half)

dear god!!!! O_O That's is amazing! There's so much detail, I could just stare at it for hours
absolutely beautiful

I think you need to draw a kitchen sink in there, just for the sake of it. :)

LOL I was thinking something more like a Waldo ;)

This picture is phenomenal! Great work, Kacey! :)

amazing, very well executed. and I cant wait to see it in person! 120 hours eh? Record time I would say, this would take me forever for sure...

While drawing, I listened to several audio books, which helped pass the time a lot =). Hopefully I will be doing more large pieces (I have another one lined up to start on, though not as complex as this one) and I will become more comfortable with it and get faster =).

Out-fucking-standing. Normally I like to add some commentary about technique or focus in on something that sang out to me... But there's so much going on in this piece I'm just going to sit and stare at it for a while.

+fav. Definitely!

Good LORD. The colors and shading on this would be impressive enough with just one or two characters, but 48? I'm speechless.

you finished it!!! wow congrats!! this is absolutely stunning :) I must say I'm impressed you got it done, saw your lineart when you posted it and was wondering if you'd ever finish. Well done ^^ it's beautiful

Incredible job! The color scheme works beautifully, and that's amazing considering how many chars are in the pic! Totally awesome!

all i can say is that im amazed and proud that you finished such a task! :: stares at it for hours :: tehe i love it!!

I humbly bow to the superior artist.

:blush: ack! you're gonna give me a big ego!

wow excellent work! sooo many characters. ;)

This rocks my socks. I love the two in the front. Are they the main characters? I was awed at the sight of this. All of the expressions are so detailed it just sorta makes me sad that it's not bigger! I wonder how the guy liked it. I bet it was even more than he imaged!! Really nice job.

Yep, the two in the front are pretty much the main characters =). I thought it was important to have them stand out - and having a 'close up' of some of the characters does help the perspective and the layout.. The placement of the other characters doesn't denote importance to the story, but I did group them into their social groups - for the most part.

WOOOOW! This is a fantastic piece of work, what an awesome scene, you should be most proud of this piece :O

I do have fun, but at times it is also very difficult.. and I do go a little nuts at times. I've needed to practice my patience and perserverence, though.. as I feel they are important qualities for an artist, and I want to improve.. so I stuck with it, didn't rush, and got through to the end..

Must... fave... this... O.o

I'm amazed at the size and detail (even though I saw the sketch a long while ago), and the colors are fantastic.

Wonderful piece. ^^

Sweet mother of god so many comments, makes this a drop in the bucket. Then again, for a peice this amazing, the "bucket" should be the size of a public pool. You see few pics with so many characters as it is, but THIS in real media....speechless, this is amazing.

Thank you =). Even though I can't respond to all my comments, I do read and appreciate each one (even when someone points out something I've done wrong ^.^)...

Real media is the love of my art life =). Many other artists can do fabulous things with the computer, but I wont touch the computer other than cleanup for display... Putting all my efforts into mastering real media is very important to me =) Because I know, one day, virtually nobody will do it anymore... and that will make my work more unique =)

Jesus.

how much did the comisson cost? its awesome oO;

This is all your gonna get. Just wows and omgs. To see a piece that is so detailed with that many characters is a very great thing to see. The scene is warm and cuddley, and I can see no wrong in this. You inspire me! I must work hard at my own pieces! Congratulations in completing such a difficult piece of art!

This is by far the best piece of fur artwork I've ever seen in my entire history of being a fur. You can get no higher compliment than that.

Thank you very much =D That is an awesome compliment!

*hugs* Any chance we can get a high-res version?

This is just utterly amazing!! O_o *gawks in awe*

Aside from breathtaking amount of detail and activities, the feel of this image is unbelievable.
I really get a happy feeling when looking at it, which I think is remarkable :) . Furthermore, the way the species "human" gets along with both biped furries and quadrupeds is lovely.

I’m going to call Louvre and ask if they have room for another painting! ;3

There’s so much to look at I’m going up to find all 48! ^^

I must say the best work i have ever seen in my furry life. The expression, the wide angle of view SImpling amazing that you were able to capture such a scene. As always I only wish to be as good as you in my future ^^ I hope you have a deserved rest. After this i think a good weekend or week would be in order ^^ Thats what i think anyways ^^ You do as you wish.

Your work is always amazing, and is Always welcome in my favorite gallery Kacey ^^

I'm still hard at work for now, but I am taking a vacation soon =D. Going down to Los Angeles for Mothers day to spend it with my family... =) Then I'll come back to work ^.^

wow. this is the most intense thing i've ever seen! the level of work is incredible. i hope you got paid well for this, you deserve it.

Ma'am, that is staggering. I don't think I'd be over-stating to say it's the most complex and detailed piece of furry-produced artwork I've yet seen. I think the bar has been most thoroughly raised!

Since this is my first time at AC this year, I will certainly be on the lookout to see this in person! :)

On that though, I also wonder if you might have a spare few minutes somewhere during the con? I'm trying to film interveiws with some artists on the nature of being an artist in a niche environment and having art of the internet and such. I can provide the questions in advance, of course.

Kage's kindly pointed out that noone gets a media-pass for AC though, because they don't want the risk it might upset someone.
Makes me wonder what the point of them having someone in charge of media relations is, really.
But anyway, if you'd like to help me out at all, and don't mind either wandering off the property or to my hotel room breifly?
And yes, I know how suspect that last bit sounds. -_-;
So far I have two confirmed and one maybe.

Thanks very much =D

And actually, Anthrocon is a very very busy time for me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in something like that.. but I am flattered that you asked =)

I can imagine this one must have taken ages... It looks great though! Amazing even! There is just so much going on that you really have to look at it for a while and then you still haven't seen it all.

I'm speechless... O.O
Definitely, a masterpiece!

The detail on the trees alone is staggering.

From a very grateful commissioner, to a very talented artist and good friend, you have definitely done your very best work and all the praise from everyone is more than deserved. Thank you again for taking on this huge scene!

awww :blush: you're welcome ^.^

amazing picture, you rock =^_^=

0.0 Multiboobage!! I mean... Awesome work! You should be rolling in dough with hourly wages.

Wow, that is a truly amazing piece of artwork.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Kacey! totally

Astounding. I wish I had patience like that!

Need a bumpersticker
"Chakona or Bust!!"

This should be on everyone's favorite's list and it's going to be on mine!

God, I hate little laptop keyboards, all the keys so close together!

This piece is just incredible. It's been said several hundred times over, yeah, but DAMN, this is... wow.

That is one amazing piece of art! I am envious of your skill and fortitude.

*gawks* Simply amazing...

Ho-LEE -- !!!

I can't BELIEVE how GREAT this piece is!!

*Instant* Favorite!

HOLY GREEN ROSE OF INFINITE DOOM! That is definitely one impressive piece....I am so in awe right now.

This came out BEAUTIFULLY! You did a great job on it. I'm even more excited at the prospect of going to Anthrocon and seeing this peice in person, as well as getting a print of it if you do indeed sell them.

Great work, you can see there was a lot of time and effoert put into this peice. Kudos to a job well done! >^-^<

A time well spent kacey!

bar-ba-ma-que

That is insane and insanely good, I hope you were paid enough to hold you for a year after this undertaking. :)

Thanks so much =D. Even if it did hold me over for a year (which it doesnt), I would feel very bored and unfulfilled if I weren't making art ^.^. Even if I one day become a millionaire, I'll still be drawing.. for the love of it =).

should I be shocked or amazed at your talent?

awww, now thats cute. If only more people drew cute stuff like this and less smuttery.

Must have cost a fortune!

Something has been bothering me for ages.

How do Chakats get in tanks? Or do they leave what little fighting is necessary to hyoomahn cannon fodder?

Chakats are capable of doing battle in mechs designed specifically for their needs =). There's enough of them (and foxtaurs, etc) in the military that they engineer equipment specifically that they can use =).

Ooooh.

'Mechs. It makes sense now.

holy crap! this is very detailed and really good! bet there were a couple of times when you just broke down and went scereaming from your house. i would have... anywho, very, very awesome!

*bows to the Art Goddess*

wow, thats all I can say =)

I agree, you must really enjoy creating works of art... I on the other paw have a hard enough time just trying to count every character in there! ;)

OMG, 120 hours of work...!?
You are a god. I just thought you might want to know.

Whoa... that is AWWWWWESOME!

You're like a godess of art, Kacey! ^_^

Dear Heavonly Father . . . this is just absolutely breath taking. I don't know which is more mind blowing, the shear beauty in this piece, or the fact (if I'm reading you right) that you did it all by hand and not on computer. I swear, your works should hung in an art museum, they are just . . . devine!

I'm amazed at the amount of time I need to spend to pick out every little thing in this! And it is time SO well-spent!! Anyone who doesn't fave this pic needs their head examined.

Personally, I can't wait for Anthrocon to see the full-sized version!! I wish they'd let me sneak in a camera!

An excellent piece - the level of detail is absolutely incredible. It's made my favorites list. Thank you for sharing it!

It's beautiful and has interesting composition too. Your dedication to the drawing really paid off in the end. What materials did you use?

Nevermind about the materials. I was so amazed by the pic that I didn't notice. I'm so sorry about that. But it's still a wonderful work.

Now that's what I call impressive!!! I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said already, but I still have to try: you have to be the best artist I have ever seen! The attention to detail is the SAME on every one of those characters, now that�s an achievement!
You have the utmost respect a computing student could give WELL DONE!!!!

Oh my GOODNESS! Kacey, this is truly impressive! So much to see! You should be very proud of this picture.

Me, I'm actually working on something that's ambitious for me, an eight-character group spread. :)

I wonder how chakats dance? :)

Hehe I just noticed, 150th favorite :P What do I win?

wow, that is just AMAZINGLY complex...

I think both of my arms would fall off if I ever took on a piece like this (I'm an ambidextrous artist, but they'd both be gone halfway!) That just goes to show how astonishing this is and how great of an artist you are. I'll definitely get a print of this at AC.

If you're going to be selling prints (and I hope you are!), Cafepress sells them up to 23" by 35." That would mean the minimum amount of loss in detail.

I guess you're "taured out" for the time being, though... :(

Awesome job and you can tell alot of hard work went into it so all I can say is Congradts on one of the most impressive anthro art peices I have ever seen =^.^=

this absolutely blows me away. seriously. you must be so proud

Well, I've commented back at DA, but even here I gotta say just how amazing this turnout is (and astounding that you pulled it off so well!). Once again, excellent job :D

Wow...what a beautiful piece of work. This is just wonderful, and I'm not even that big a Chakat fan, but this is just stupendous!

Instant favourite

All I can say after taking a good LONG look at this is...

...WHOA!!! :D

This piece is so detailed, right down to the red pawprint marking on the skunktaur's chest and the food on the bbq, that I can't even begin to imagine how long it took you from start to finish. :p

I hope I don't appear to be a suck-up or anything, but I hope you recieve some sort of special recognition for this piece. You'd deserve it.

Amazing o_o; Wow. I honestly have no other words, heh... It's just beautiful!

Much respect for you and all of your art. Complex, brilliant, beautiful. I bow to you. :)

That is such an awsome job!
I love it!
So many delicious details!
Im going to watch and favour this

Yep! I'm pretty sure this is the best drawing ever made. The "Kacey" folder on my computer just gets brighter every day!

That only took you 120 hours? You're a regular speed demon =p
It's so intricate and colorful, I can't find a spot where my eye isn't being caught.
~Kai

All I have to say is holy damn. I love this pic.

That is an amazing peice of work o.o

I seems redundant to say it for the n'th time, but Kacey, you are incredible. This is probably the most detailed picture I've ever seen, and just cements the fact that you're my favourite artist.

whoa... that is a LOT of chakats and taurs

awesome job ^V^

that's got to be a lot of hard work to draw all those characters i guess it could have taken days to do that but i don't know but nice work on drawing all of them

120 hours... And I feel a bit embarrassed that I'm only gonna gawk at it for 5 minutes.. c.c;

There are no words for this, just an awe inspired stare for who knows how long is all I can think of doing after seeing this image. o.o

I've read just about every story at the Chakat's Den, but I'm having trouble recognizing some of the characters. if possible, PLEASE post a list of the characters in the picture, its killing me. Really, it is.

Hey =D.. Chakat Goldfur made a page on the Chakat's Den website that can help you more than a list I write: http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/Stories/Cast.html Halfway down the page you'll see the "Farewell to Earth" image - click on any character, and it will open a window to tell you who they are =)

Holy crow, this is just impressive beyond words.
This is just wonderfully done, it is no short of perfect. Wonderul scene, everything is just places so well and it looks just amazing.

Awesome piece. Also managed to see the individual pic of that Aussie kangaroo rat *purrs*

Holy crap thats good!!! It deserves an award! Make that 2, for skill and dedication.

Quite the masterpeice you got there. The details amazing, even more so for just how many characters are in this single picture. Truely impressive!

:..2-2-7..:

That's beautiful.

I.. wow.

Holy wow....

ah, yes *ahem*:

"So long, and thanks for all the fish."

its amazing. A little weird at some points but amazing

Amazing.... Your a a goddess in art and patience..... ~0-0~;; *bows*

Incredable, its like a fairytale meets a furcon! I love it!

Absolutely amazing...

..I cant really think of anything else to say.. just.. wow. x3

.. I love.~~<3
(+fav)

What's everybody so excited about commenting on this? Bernard Doove is all out whoring Kacey and wasting his money.

There are by far many more accomplished artists than she is that could've done this better.

Never seen such a wasted effort in my life with so many commissions about one persons Felitaur character... to think, you didn't need to waste your time on this pathetic work. And you want to make prints of it?

Only in your dreams I'm afraid.

Dude...

...shut up.

Wonderful pic!

MAN!! Too many comments!! O_O *blinking*...

Okay, seriously, the pic deserves all those shouts ;). But I don't know what to say without being too 'clich�'! You know what I mean ^^U.

What the heck!!

I love pics where many things are happening at the same time (let's call it details ^^). And in this one is happening a lot of stuff ^_^. A great story of big proportions in one single shot.

A must FAV!! ^_^ Beautiful!

BTW, I love the Sci-fi 'background' too ;).

why are there no lizards in this beatiful picture... ;_;

Stunning! I wish I could have seen this in real life... so much detail... and overall wonderfull picture!

The sheer amount of effort that must have gone into this is mind blowing- just drawing all that as well and as plentiful as this is hard to imagine, but to color it all like you did makes it, for lackof a better expression, breathtaking.

...WOW. Just...WOW.

That's just simply amazing - the time and effort put into it is absolutely incredible, this piece deserves a definate favourite. <3

Very Beautiful!! Excellent job!! I shall fav this!! ^_^

Wonderful job. Just brilliant use of colour and expression. It's odd that I don't see any sad faces in the crowd. Though I know it is a happier occasion, one would think there would be a meloncholy face of somebody who will be missing somebody else.

Either way, it's still a brilliant piece and something I don't have the time nor patience to do. You, darling, are a nun! X3

This is awesome, and I love looking for and recognizing characters here that I've read about in some of Bernard's stories.

Dear God. 120 hours Oo; I feel so stupid. I did not see this at the AC art show and just noticed it here. This is immense!

The amount of detail is uncanny =D

I've never heard of you until now (thanks to a journal post by CCKitty), but better late than never.

You have a style of art that makes my eyes happy. :)

Whoa... This is phenomanal... This, well... OMg....

Thank you CCKitty, ^^

Woah... This must have taken forever to do. You've got excellent style, I like the colour work particularly. This is awesome! Looks like a great party, as well. ^_^

this is a true master piece and i amazing to boot

Wow.




That is all.



Oh, I'm looking for artists to draw my character, Teddy, looks like I've found another!

I'm not a taur fan, but the sheer outstanding quality of this picture deserves a favourite.

Why wasn't I invited to the mass migration?;) Excellent work, the fur on every character is amazing, way to keep up the awesome work on over 40 fursons!

-Balto Wolf

i'am really tring to find words to say how great it is..

NICE..!!..!!..!!..!!..!!..!!..!!..!!.!!..
8/10 of thing That make me og OMG your good...My Brain said Thinkg for the pic..*splat*

Nice! I love the blending of everyone doin there own thing :P Must have been very tedious, and I give you props for that!

Oh my god... this.. wow. o_o I would NEVER have the patience to pull something off of this scale. Wonderful job! VERY impressive!

Such a lovely picture with such amazing details as well ! Well but very well done ! O_O

Wow, one of the best things on FA. This piece of just pure awesomeness. You rock.

So you were the one who did this?!? Wow. I saw this on the Chakat's Den and was in total awe...

wow... that must have been a hell of work ...o.O

I honestly don't know what to say.... this piece of art is spectacular! This was worth every bit of time and effort you put into it... I applaud you.

Incredible! :D

omg O.o this is... amazing... omg...

I think this is the biggest detailed thang I've ever seen, and you didn't skip on a single detail

wonderful!

I could learn something from you :3

That's quite an accomplishment , and a very nice piece besides. With this much complexity there's a millionthings that could have gone wrong , but you got everything right. Bravo!
Mark Moore

Sweet Mother Epona! Now that is an impressive scene! I've done crowd scenes with far less furs and not managed to maintain detail for each and every individual.
Keep up the great work. :)

Man, I've seen some great furry works in my time - drawn by the FA elites (Alpha_ki, hbruton, Muzz, etc...), no less - but I have yet to see a piece quite so stunningly detailed and marvelously executed as this. This picture may even surpass the skill of hbruton, if that's possible.

UBER FAV!!!

Oh WOW!! It's fantastic. I love the detail and complexity in all the characters. You should be very proud of that piece. +fav big time!

That is one of the most amazing, detailed, complex furry works I've ever seen. I can't imagine how much dedication and work it took to finish that. WOW. Good work. Amazing.

One of the best pictures I've ever seen on FA.

I've been wondering who the artist for this was for over half a year.  Waggs has it up in the living room of the Anaheim Fur House, at which I frequently show up at. I've been admiring it for quite some time...

Now I know. ^_^

This is really, really well done. It's quite amazing, and mind blowingly complicated. I would never attempt something like this, and you have my respect for actually taking up the task, paid or not.

I'm sure you know this already, and I'm sure you've been told it hundreds of times, but no matter what anyone tells you, you're not a crappy artist. There are a lot of really mean spirited people out there who feel so down on themselves that the only way for them to feel better is to try knocking someone else down.

It disgusts me to see it the kind of childish behaviour and name calling I see in this post.... I don't know you, and I don't know your personality, but I can say I see talent in this piece.

Yes, I envy your ability, but it doesn't make me hate you, and it doesn't make me want to blame you for any of my own failings.

So, in a nutshell, all I wanted to say was "Keep up the excellent work, and ignore all the idiots."

Thanks very much =)..

I don't run across many people with hateful insults about me or my work - in fact, I find it pretty impressive the number of *nice* things said about my work in the comments to this piece... So if I let the one or two rainclouds bother me, then that would be a pretty poor outlook on my life and my work =).

I'm happy with what I do... and that should be enough. But the fact that there are so many other people out there that are happy with what I do is such a blessing. Thanks again =)

shoo made it to the lower bit of the page to comment*pants* anyway this is a very lovely group pic must have token ours to get all that detail in it.. nice work it is just jaw droping if you ask me

There are truly few words I can use to say just how -excellent- a picture I think that is. It is a wonderfully crafted work of art, and I'm glad you finished it. I imagine it must have been quite a bit of work.

...
The sheer level of detail you put into this is utterly astounding. This must have taken forever and a day, considering the size of the piece.
It's as if you captured a moment in time, and put it on paper. It's incredible.

this is just..simply.. breathtaking!

oh...my...giddy...aunt...wow... just.. like... WOW .... simply stunning very nice job!

Holy Jesus!

Thinking about the amount of planning, time, work, effort and sheer tenacity it must have taken to complete something of this magnitude makes my head spin, and that's just thinking about it!

An artistic genius, you are, says I.

/me raises a glass to Kacey.

Im straight-up in love with this picture! I love the contrast of the humans, the minitaurs and the other furs... wow...

I think i see Waldo!

Very interesting image, must fav.

danm! thats one big party! must of been hard to draw all those peoples. i got to give you credit! :)

=^~^=

so much time and so extreme beautiful picture "to cute" ^^"

thank you so much for the wonderfull furry party pic *soft cuddle*

PERFECT IN STYLE AND COLORING *moews loud* =^~^=

It's amazing.

Wow...437 favorites...I'm stunned beyond words. I think that alone speaks for how amazing this piece is. That has to be some sort of FA record...*too stunned to flutter away and plops down on her batty butt in awe*

~GR

The best piece of furry art EVER! ^.^<3 <3 <3

My god...this pic is beautiful! I've never seen so many furs in one picture. It's an instant fav^^.

I didn't get a chance to comment when I +fav'd last night....

That is the most amazing piece of independent furry art I've ever seen.

I still say this is one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen.

wow

Possibly the best piece of artwork on FA

Wait, are the Chakats the three humans in the picture? It's a very nice piece.

Nope, the Chakats are the feline-taur type characters - if you go to https://www.chakatsden.com you can learn a lot about them. The humans in the picture are friends/family of theirs.

fluffing awesome

that's a lot of characters!

is that david duchovny on the left?

No, thats Admiral Boyce Kline (both a character in the story the piece illustrates, and a real life person, though not actually an admiral IRL) I do see the resemblance to David Duchovny, though - hee ^.^

Oh my goodness...
Well, if you were going for an artistic portrait worthy of a museum archiving, you really nailed it with this one.
This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Dazzling in so many ways.
I can't believe you managed to make so many characters and fit them all in somewhere, it's gorgeous.
A definite fave from me, because you HAD to have spent some heavy amount of time getting this masterpiece done! Some amazingly well-spent time, I must say. <3

I bow to you know 0..0

Really great!

Oh my... I can't even begin to imagine the work and dedication that went into brining this piece to life. Truly an awe-inspiring piece. I'd tip my hat to you, but since I don't have a hat I'm afraid all I can offer is a fav and my sitting and staring for a while.

This is a great picture!!!!

It's nice to see anthropomorphics coexisting with humans....

( Sadly I'm not into taurs...)

can we say wall paper????

V.

One the greatest artwork around in which I see humans and furres living and having fun together in peace. Thats what it brings to mind really. I can only imagine how long you have been working on this and how difficult it was.

Esta escena es increible!!! Te felicito, me ha encantado y me parece muy, muy rica... en cada detalle hay una historia que contar, parece un cuento hecho dibujo y ademas esta muy bien logrado, de corazón te felicito!

This is very beautiful. I love all fur and human art, and this is a great example of it! The best I've seen yet!

*jawdrop*
Amazing.

No words need be said, other then, Wow....

Fantastic, the amount of detail put into this piece is amazing, very well done.
you're talents for art is splendid

Oh wow, what a piece. Very well done on the amount of detail and the extreme size of it all!!

i would of left a comment here sooner but RL got in my way :P

this is a wonderful pic you have here :D this is the kind of art you put in a frame and hang over your fire place ^__^ and i still can't get over how well you draw your furries, its as if they ARE real, like photo realistic in a way, you know?

I've seen this picture somewhere before and not on fur affinity, and I lost it. I must say I did not know you were the artist, or that you even existed. It is up to date, my favorite furry picture, and if you made prints of it I would buy it in a second, a big one for my wall. I also wanted to say, as a woman who has had trouble with stalkers and people of the sort in the past, I think its wonderful, for a person such as yourself to continue the fight of being an artist. I have just recently found out about you, through my mate, Canis Lupis, and I must say your story on furrypedia, has touched and inspired me to become a better artist. Thank you for this Ms. Kimberly, and please keep up the inspirational artwork. Lots of love, a fellow furry artist,

Thanks very much =D What a kind thing to say ^.^

Amazing. How much did this cost?

About $1,500. I would ask more for something like this now.

...whoa. I just had to comment on this to say how amazed I was at this.

And done in 120 hours? I'm not sure weather that says more for your dedication, or your skill at doing this in that timeframe.

coooool

Pure awesomage!

Wow... unbelievable... I am amayed !

...amazed even !

Wow, absolutely incredible.

I absolutely love this one. I have it on my desktop.
This is an absolutley brilliant piece.
I even know almost all the characters depicted by name.

I remember when this was presented and it blows me away.*gasp* When I get my widescreen monitor for christmas, THIS will be my desktop! *glee* ^__^

Cool! Enjoy the widescreen display - sounds fancy =D!..

This was definitely a milestone piece for me - I'm glad you enjoy it.

I saw this in an art dump on one of the websites I frequent... Got this account fairly recently... not only have I faved this pic, it's the first one I've added. Also, best pic I've ever seen, etc. etc.

A really incredible work of art, I can't even begin to imagine the work invested in it. Congratulations.

Faved. This is awesome. Loads of detail in an amazing style I already like. Wish I'd been at AC to see the original... I assume it's in someone's private collection now?

Holy
F***ing
Shit.

=O

Amazing simply amazing work wow !

An absolute masterpiece, everything looks alive and moving as if you just took a picture, very well done!

You know, for a painting that is made five years ago, it's still one of the best Anthropomorphic Paintings I've ever seen!
You are an amazing artist, Kacey Miyagami! =D!

At last I track down the artist! I fell head over heels in love with this picture years ago when I first discovered Chakats on Bernard Doove's Chakat's Den site. To this day it is still THE picture of perfection to which I hold other art against! I have made this into my computer's background countless times! Thank you so much for doing this! I this picture SOOO much!

Before reading it, I thought it was about the world nearing it's end due to some catastrophe and no one being able to stop it. That they just wanted to celebrate the last bits of their lives that they have left (due to the title), perhaps the last day. If you've ever seen Star Trek, you'll know what I mean by watching DS9: "Children of Time". Or at least read the summary. On the last day of the eight thousand people's lives, they all went to harvest their crops in celebration of their lives.

From IMDB: "The DS9 cast discovers a small colony on a remote world that was originally populated by them 200 years earlier due to a time-travel accident with the Defiant. The current colonists lives depend on making sure that accident happens again, even though they've now forwarned the crew that it will happen. Each crew member needs to decide if they are willing to give up their lives on DS9 in order to preserve the history of the colony." Ultimately, the crash is averted and the 8,000 colonists cease to exist.

"What if it's smart fungus?"

huh, food for thought.

I'm surprised I don't have this faved over here (I think I faved it on DA) I still love this...I bought a print of it at my first Furry con, and then I found your gallery by chance on DA...and now I find it again by chance on FA. I must fave it again. :D

Years later, and people are still discovering this work of art for the first time :3

Yeah I just found this as the very first fave on someone's favorites thru 23 pages. Probably the most detailed pic I've seen in the fandom.

Love this picture so so much. Loved the stories and this picture captures everything perfectly.

Brilliant work as always, Ms. Miyagami!

Just found this from a link from goldfur.

Just showing my Fiancee, How amazing and Constant your Artwork has been over all these years. She is very impressed, and we both hope to one day commission you. Thank you for keeping up with the fandom and producing so many amazing and beautiful masterpieces all theses year.
