I delayed on posting this out of respect for this little guy's mom. This is Maynard, he passed away and she wanted to have something to remember him by. She wasn't sure what kind of style she wanted him painted in so I asked her to send me some pics and that I would come up with something nice for her. I love this guy's long whiskers and soul patch. Rest in peace buddy, I have no doubt you were loved and well taken care of by someone special.
I painted this using ArtRage with a new brush pack designed by Sav Scatola, which are pretty amazing because with the new AR6 custom brush engine they mimic oil impasto nicely. Be sure and pick them up here:

Scroll down and you will see the ArtRage section.
I also had this reproduced/framed with pigment inks on premium Giclée paper that has a lovely watercolor paper texture from a company called FinerWorks.com. If you're looking for high quality work I can't recommend this company enough as everything I have printed from them has turned out amazing.
