Latest Artwork: Extinction 1936 (the Thylacine)

I posted work in progress photos of this artwork last night, as well as information about the now-extinct marsupial known as the thylacine (also called Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian Wolf). The last known individual of this species died in a zoo in Tasmania in 1936 (sadly, of neglect), though there are also unconfirmed reports of thylacines in Tasmania and parts of Australia to this day. I hope it's similar to the case of the Black Footed Ferret, in that an animal that was thought to be extinct, shows up again in the wild, and are able to be protected with various conservation programs. However, as of right now, the thylacine is on the extinct list. For videos and pictures of thylacines, please visit arkive.org.

Ok, this is a lovely piece. So my question to you is, commissions? Do you do them and what sort of pricing do you charge? Pardon me if this info is placed elsewhere.

Hi again Mark.
Thanks. And yes, I do take commissions if I feel like it's something that is my alley or I can do credit to. Can you email me at redeye@designbyredeye.com and we talk about pricing and what you might have in mind? I charge by the square inch so I can usually work out something to fit most people's budgets.
