Description
Edit : Finally got a better photo of this babyMy boy's Valentine's gift. He's been not-so-subtly hinting that I should paint something for him. He loves surreal art, and I've been wanting to get more into surreal art so this is my start.
Personally I love it, and I know he will too.
He's seen the sketch already but not the painting.
I used metallic copper paint in the background (like this piece : kodriak.deviantart.com/art/Tre… so its very reflective depending on how you angle it. You can see it here. i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt…
Refs: (hardly used them but still gotta give credit) fav.me/d14ndkb tasastock.deviantart.com/art/R…
Feedback is extremely appreciated!!
Acrylic paint (plus a little glowing paint on the eyes) on canvas.

Mmhmm the metallic paint is my favorite feature of this painting! I'm planning to buy gold, silver and see what else they have, they might yield some pretty amazing results too.
Thanks hon, I just LOVE your comments. All the time

beautiful!
Then again, I love a little surreality too
& between the pic itself, and the title, I think you really should have a listen to this song: [link] it's called Two Minds One Soul

Oh my gosh...this is an amazing piece! The intensity of the tiger's stare and the black tendrils that turn into a crow are wonderfully executed. I will say that the tiger's face seems just a little bit lopsided, but overall this is a wonderful, surreal, slightly scary work that you should be proud of. Nicely done!

Mm yeah I agree with you about the lopsided thing. I only noticed it when I held the painting up to mirror and by that time it was too late to fix. Dumb mistake on my part. Ohwell, its a learning process!
And thanks for the compliments!

Thankyou! I love to aim for unique, why follow the trends and create what seems like a reproduction of everything else out there? Crazy textures + realism + surrealism = LOVE LOVE LOVE

The shiny paint makes it neat to walk past, the image seems to change depending on the angle you look at it. Neat stuff, need to get more paint like that!
Thanks!

He was pretty stoked to get it, he didn't even want to touch it, afraid he would somehow damage it. xD
Thanks!

Thanks!
I wanted to tone down the creep factor a little so I added some more details on the bird, making it look less like some amorphous black blob coming out of tiger's face but I haven't updated deviation yet.
