Obviously, my signature is crap.

That is excellent work!

It's such a pity that "art" can't be considered awesome bits like this that blockheaded lamans such as myself can actually appreciate without having the piece's "deeper meaning" explained to us. (Sorry, sorry...I just read too much "Calvin and Hobbes" growing up, and I've come to share Bill Watterson's opinion of the "art" community...)

Regardless...despite your claim that the background looks funky, I honestly couldn't disagree more. As to your claim that only the ears give away what this beautiful animal is...wrong again. It's too big and majestic to be any sort of bird I've ever seen, and the feathers are a bit too fluffy and fuzzy looking in the main.

This is truly an excellent piece, and as far as getting prints...I say go for it!

When Einstein revealed to the world his wondrous theories of Special and General Relativity, I was the one shouting, “That’s what I was going to say!”

Ignorance killed the cat. Curiosity was framed.

I like cherries!!!

Dude, that's amazing. Colouring, lighting, drawing everything. Such a lovely face, it has. SO much expression, yet so realistic at the same time. Gonna fav it, of course.

This is beautiful! The different colors used in the feathers make it look more life like, as opposed to using flat shades of one color. The emotion you brought out of a bird's face is remarkable! The work invested is very visible.
Why the phooph should the professor care as long as you paint well?

90% of teens today would die if Myspace had a system failure and was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.

So beautiful. I love the pose, the lighting and his/her face.
