wow, I checked back on this randomly, and it's so good to see that it's a poster now!
I hope this doesn't sound rude, as I have no knowledge of the workings of selling prints on the deviantart shop. I was wondering, is the max size 12x18" because the quality/size of this painting doesn't allow for printing at a larger size? I'd love to order this as a poster, and wasn't sure if it would be at all possible to get it in a larger size.

I apologize again for any potential ignorance and rudeness, haha...I've never ordered a print before. orz

No problem at all, glad you asked. Thing is, my laptop is broken right now ^^

It should be out of service today though, so I'll take a look wether or not I submitted this in the best possible resolution (Which I have no clue of right now to be honest).

Now that I had another look at the file: The piece was never intended for print. It works fine as a desktop piece, but it's resolution wouldn't do well as a poster I'm afraid.

I made it available as a print because one could have this printed at a smaller size (I'm guessing A3 could work, but it might be blurry here and there).

I'm very very sorry for that - Thinking back I remember now that I tried to resolve the issue when I had the piece done. It was more of a sketch that developed while I made it, that's why the resolutions off.

DA certainly has the biggest size though, so if you choose to print it via the site I presume you would get the best results possible.

I've watched 'The Pursuit of HappYness' and now I'm just listening to it after my mother for her second time.. is now watching it XD. Looking at the intricate design of the picture caught my eye but, the other thing that really caught my eye were the words written clearly in white bold text near the bottom right corner "I will not die until I achieve something"; those words burned a hole in me. I may even live by them..

Truely this is an awesome picture, one with strange shapes, varying colors and encouraging words. Definately a picture worthy of fitting into my "Full of Awesome" favorites folder.

Thank you very much! The sentence is a quote from Ikaruga (As is the whole image actually) a japanese space-shooter that blends in with the principles of buddhism and introduces it's chapters with words like these.
The others are interesting as well although these strike me personally as being the ones with the most impact.

You're very welcome schmoek, Ikaruga does have a few words that are encouraging to me and may apply to other too. I was going to request this picture as a print but, I see that it's already avaliable.

Take care schmoek and keep doing what you're doing ^^
