Artist's Comments

A large piece done for Takaza (the border collie) and Duncan (the husky).

I could write a ten page essay detailing everything I see wrong with it...but it's done after countless hours, repainting Duncan twice, a few painter crashes, and more caffeine than I should like to admit to.

Created in Corel Painter 10 using Oil Pastels, Detail Airbrush, various watercolor diffuses and a few other brushes.
Total size: 18 by 13.7 inches at 300 dpi

At the time of uploading I am closed for work due to my backlog, but will open again someday. If you are interested in a piece of this caliber, take note! It's a four digit pricetag

Whoa! Thank you for the Daily Deviation! I uploaded a detail of this piece [link] if you'd like to take a look.

Sanctaury by *vantid "Best piece I've seen in years" -says Avalik. The intricate detail all over this piece speaks for itself! I feel like I'm in an IMAX high definition theater when I look at this beautiful composition. The elements of art are really used brilliantly in this piece!

Stunningly beautiful!!
The detail is really astounding.
I love the expression, very warming.
With as highly detailed as this piece is it's not distracting or overpowering at all. It really helps the eye flow and carries your eye around the picture to were you want to see all the detail and not read it as a bunch of clutter. The detail really works to your advantage! Amazing composition really!
