woah, I finally finished this! I've been working on it, on and off for the last week or so while I've had the time. I'm actually REALLY happy with how it came out! I really wanted to dive hardcore into more colour/lighting experimentation and this is what I came up with ;D I've wanted to do a picture of Hush playing the piano for ages as well!
Sai painter, lime groves and about 13 sticks of chewing gum <3
Full view it please! I migh add some like detail shots later on - enjoy!
ps- yes the piano was painted - took me hourssss alone! I spent like days on this, and I know the issue with the keys which I'll fix at some point - take it easy on the crit for me :B

I really like this angle because it makes me feel that your paws and I (the viewer) are flowing along the keyboard...
awesome work!
this looks so beautiful, I especially love the shading and coloring, so well done
Dude this is FLAWLESS. Seriously ace art, that piano is fucking gorgeous. The tone of this is just awesome. :)
.
hurr hurr
c what i did thar?
shit is WELL well done
the piano did take effing HOURS, so I'm glad people dig it!
Boy was I wrong. It looks amazing.
Great job on this one, I love almost everything about it.
As a fellow pianist, I gotta ask, is there any way you might sell prints of this for the hanging of on walls?
The character is, of course, also very well rendered. Kudos to you!
But, the detail on the piano is GODLY! (o.o)
the icon made me think it was a picture of a piano and you drew in yourself playing it.
no
the piano is actually done by you as well :) nice job
this is GORGEOUS.
you + Steinway = radddd
Chirp! :)
It looks so wonderful, the lights and shadows look very realistic.
I wish that i can paint so good as you, you are one of the best artist here on this site dude.
i just say awesome!
i like a man who can use BOTH hands ;D
anyway, damn bro <3
srsly though, it took me AGES to get the hands to look right!
The details in the fingers bring the picture to life; I feel like I'm watching him play, contemplating the next 20 chords.
you really did a masterful work on this <3
And HOLY CRAP. Dude, this is your best piece. Ever. EVER. Fantastic work on it man!
but I fully didn't - The only part I even used a reference for was the keys, to get a good idea of the angle and distance etc that I wanted. The rest was just off the top of my head!
Master piano player in boxers, hm?
and knowing him, he probably is ;D
Steinways are like, the best pianos out there. Second to Bösendorfer.... They turn your soul into butter, than CRY on it... It's so amazing. I've played them both, and ya... oh man.,
Sorry, piano geek moment
and yeah, they keys felt really nice on the one I played!
They're both extremely well made, it seems like the epitome of perfection.
absolutely magnificent work x3
:: sigh :: Now I want to go play piano now...
Truly Awesome pic :D
Ace pic, the perspective is really nice.
and another picture for my favourite list.
I like how the white background gives such a nice feeling to it as well, but most of all you've done a brilliant job on shading and highlighting this :o looks very vivid.
hmm... he kinda looks like Roxas with the haircut and expression
LOVE THIS! <3 Instant fave. :3 Do you actually play piano? :D
Thanks for proving "furry" and "art" are not entirely different concepts.
I thought that was a photo of a real piano!
you can see the concentration on his face :D incredible!
Gah, the shading is so amazing with the perception of the piano.
Your character looks like he's serious into what he's doing to; clam yet focused.
Pft, can't think of anything good to say. Still <3
I agree
XD I thought the same thing. :P`
2) I wish I could have a grand piano, but sadly, our house can't fit one. My synth will have'ta do...T__T
3) You did a beautiful job on this. c:
4) *Drools~*
5) I'm just gonna assume that you play the piano allllll the time...Even if I've read some of the comments on here~
I love how your 2 day old picture has more views than my entire profile after 3 1/2 months XD
.. In fact I believe amazing is an understatement. <3
I love piano's, especially when people play those calm, emotional songs.
Great job on the pic
i really love the "painted" look. it really makes it show that hours of work
were put into it. also the classical look of a painting just... appeals to me
more XD
Will there be prints of this available?
I wanted to do something similar but I'm certain it would not have come out as well :P
But there are somethings wrong (actually, nothing important, but you can improve this next time): The "C" key on the first plan is at the right of the "C sharped". It should be on the left. Same for "B" key: it's a full key (the full key is supposed to be the most high "C"). It make all black keys on the left put ON the white. There are supposed to be between two of them...
But I haggle; it's easy to criticize, and I would be unable to make the sixth of what you have make there!
Congrats again!
I find it quite interesting how the melancholy expression stays completely apparent through the brightness.
Makes me wanna draw a piano.
Good job, again!
do you mind if I use this as my desktop background. It kind of feels wrong to without asking seeing as how hard you worked on it.
.. or is he just improvising?
Simply awesome work.
Even the detail on the piano is great.
hope you're ok xx
Pretty sure that the guy who got it can be nothing but proud off having it on the wall
yeah
TOTAL BADASS JOB
i'd fav it 300000000 times if i had that many profiles
Very beautiful pic)
I would like to say this is freakin amazing
you got the piano perfectly ^^
I play the piano everyday so this makes me speechless =)
This piano is my dream... one day I will have a Stein or a Bosendorfer in my room (I ony have a kurzweil) :3
Try a Schimmel, they've a perfect sound in the grave, way warmer than the Steinways. They're closer to the Bosendorfer.
But I agree, this pic is a FAVE °w°
Can hear the Moonlight Sonata playing softly in the distance. Really beautiful picture, shame I didn't comment sooner.
i dont have words that can say what i mean!
i think what makes this so great is couse i play
piano. and i would love to have this piano.
I have a Fantom S88 full length keyboard with weighted keys.. it's my love.
I'll never say no to a good old fashioned grand piano though n_n <33
The lighting is great, and the expression really sets the mood. :D
Damn I wanna learn piano, too. :I
You know, I actually didn't notice the issue with the keys until I read your comment about it. Negligible I'd say; it's not distracting from the image as a whole. I suppose you could fix it if you so desire, but I think it's fine the way it is. It proves you're still human and creates a closer connection between artist and audience.
If I could favourite this so much more I would, this piece was made even more beautiful by the track I was listening to.
I used to play piano like this before I went onto college and did some other stuff..

That song is what I was listening to, somewhere around the 1:24:00 mark, just about tearing up.
Thank you for making this beautiful piece.
