For being your first oil painting, I think that this is one of my favorite pieces of artwork that I've seen in a while, in all honesty. Even if you feel like your technique in applying paint was a bit basic, I feel like you pulled it off fantastically. Your knowledge of art shows in the way you can transition from mediums and still have great success.

That said, I actually like this enough that I'm going to try to emulate the style that you used for this in my own first oil painting. :)

Kein problem mein freund! :)
I only knew him for one or two illustrations for Metal Gear, but I'm glad that you mentioned him. His stuff is great, and I can really see it in this piece.

It's crazy to think that I've only found this almost exactly a year after you made it, but I'm glad that I saw it at all!

And thanks very much! I hope you get around to doing more traditional stuff when you can, too. I'd love to see more like this.
