The texture effects are so great that if you would print a big copy of it, frame it and put on a wall, people would only notice it isn't painted on canvas if they came close enough.
@Wilhemina: Glad you think so! A big part of the feel is the subtle canvas grain — which is selectable in ArtRage. You can take an actual scanned grain (some people have contributed those on the AR forums, I think) and digitally paint atop of it, which gives it a great depth vibe.
I think there are also some self-publishing services which will print your photos (or anything acceptable you send them as a computer file) on actual canvas.=!
Lovely colors! Did you create it? Is it a photograph of a painting or did you make it enterely with the computer?
@Wilhemina: This one's created from scratch in ArtRage (great, cheap US$20 painting program) and touched up in Photoshop. Thx!

That is correct, Torley, you can have images printed on canvas. I happen to have a photo printed on canvas here, it looks great.
