Commission for 
Chester
This was a fun and challenging commission. I don't often get to do such anatomy studies, most furs have fur, and fur covers all imperfections (and details). Horses however, have very short and tight fur which can show off fine anatomy. So, I abused that fact with this piece.
Not much else to say about this other then, I had a time trying to get this photographed. While it looks good, it looks a lot better in person. One of these days when I win the lottery or I am selling my paintings for 10-40K I will be able to buy a Photography studio.
Media: Acrylic on Masonite
Size: 11"x14"
Date: 2014
Enjoy *Grin*

I do so love painting/drawing on a dark background. Playing with extreme lighting always delivers such eye popping results.
I thought it was a digital piece, until I checked the keyword after reading your description. Sign of the times, I suppose. Just so used to folks doing everything digital these days. But, that's makes it all the more impressive, because it's flawless! Traditional media just doesn't come with an "undo" button.

As I was once told,
"Art is not easy, and it should never be. Art with out effort is not Art." Plus, I feel more comfortable with being able to actually "Touch" what I am working on. To feel it, to move it, to be moved by it. As a result I have but only a few times dabbled in digital, I can do it, but am not as fulfilled by the experience.
So, thank you for noticing, and for the kind words. *Grin*

I enjoy the physical resistance real media gives, like you are actually creating something, unlike the rather clinical feel digital art gives. Especially things like acrylics and clay. But, digital offers more room for screw ups and those I make plenty (oh so many promising pieces I ruined).
These days I have a herd of ankle biters, and that is the other benefit of digital: little mess, little clean up, and you can drop what you're doing at any moment.
Traditional IS still the superior medium, because of those things.

You could experiment with cleaner less toxic mediums.
I have actually considered seeing what i could do with a large box of children's crayons, and or non-toxic finger paint.... But I understand, and I have seen some amazing stuff out of digital. It still is art, and does require effort and skill (in spite of what my previous comment may have implied). I just prefer one over the other.

holy sh*t! dam buddy! if that looks better in person. . . I'd haveta bring a spare pair of boxers to change into after viewing it (then stealing it)! Fantastic work! Rawwr! the Artist formerly known as Dance, of Song and Dance. Hope the new year is treating you well. *Hugs* Maybe I'll make it back to MFM this year.
Actually,
The Chain turned out to be the easy part. Took me like 20 min to paint after all. I thought it was going to be mind numbing, but it was the last thing I did and went fast, and with only a few minor hang ups that were easily corrected (The benefits of extreme lighting).
Thank you *Grin*

I was referring to the painting it self. Its to big for a scanner.
I think a mix of terrible lighting, and low batteries in my camera were the cause. As for references to the subject it self. Yea, I do use real life references, sometimes I have models, sometime I have "Hire" Models (Which suck because I am poor), and sometimes I just use internet references.

Just thought I would offer. I can send pics or video for reference like this:

I personally just feel more comfortable working in traditional media.
I can FEEL the art happening, the way the paint sticks to the texture of the surface, the resistance, the viscosity. I can't do that with digital, it doesn't feel at all, when I do it (not to me at least).
But thank you for the kind words *Grin*
