Ok, this takes the spot as the most expensive piece I've received yet (30k! Where am I getting all this money from??). It's by Paxx, and captured my eye because it's done in a style similar to Russian Avant-Garde work which Franz Ferdinand uses on a lot of their album and single covers. Also, this is the first piece where I had the most control over the work, though not too much (Paxx still thought of the vial and pose). It's really hard for me to pick out a single aspect I like the most: the eyes, the hair, the curling of the grey shirt that reminds me of Labtech X's tattered clothes and mysterious persona. It all just comes together in a wonderful piece. Paxx, despite having a female avatar, is one of the only two guys that have an art style I like and feel is worth the money.
For an additonal 2k, I had a wallpaper made that further expands on the style
