Description
This painting was quite the challenge, but I'm pretty happy how it came out. :]I don't think I've spent so many hours painting a single piece since college, somewhere close to ninety hours in the end.
It's about 11x17 inches and is mostly painted with acrylics.
It's the cover for FurtherConfusion's convention book next January, following their down under theme of "Southern Crossing."
I drew a lot of inspiration for it from my own experiences camping three weeks in the Outback with friends and family a few years ago. :]
From left to right, we've got Diego (dingo), Jack (red kangaroo), a quoll and feral goat up on the truck, a wombat, emu, Diego's mum, an echidna, a numbat in the foreground, a Tasmanian devil and another quoll.

This turned out brilliantly...90 hours well spent 
1) How effective the fire looks and how well it's shadows are drawn
2) The attention to detail throughout the whole piece
3) The sheer complexity in some areas of the painting and how well it turned out
This is SPECTACULAR!!!

This is fantastic. I love the detail from the characters to the subtle hint of iced coffee. But whats a Tassie Devil doing in Victoria? Regardless, love it.

I have looked at a considerable amount of artwork devoted to anthropomorphic characters. But far and way this painting has to the absolute best I have ever seen.

I can just imagine Diego's mum telling stories 'bout Diego as a little pup (or is it cub?)
and I think the guy stealing something from the barbecue will burn his hand if he is not careful
