OK, since you said favorite ANIME artwork, I cannot show you all my "soon-to-arrive" Disney cel, which is probably one of the most amazing cels I have ever seen in my life.
So, after thinking long and hard, the one Anime artwork that is my absolute favorite would have to be my Transformer Sixshot Hanken painting.

So, here are my reasons on choosing this one over anything else.
1). The Hanken is over 20 years old. It is also my priciest Anime piece that I have in my collection.
2). The character itself is one of the very first 6 changer robots that was made not only in the film, but also the toy-line that came out in 1986 right after the US series retired. It was also only made in Japan and certain parts in Europe. So, the toy never reached the US. He is also considered one of the classic Japanese robots (apart from the ones you see in the US).
3). This hanken was made for the box design of the toy, which are generally the best quality pictures of those characters, and they made him with a "3D appearance". I have not seen too many other ones that compared to this.
4). The details and color in this artwork is probably THE BEST I have ever seen when compared to all my Disney and Anime arts. I had to scan the item 3 times and photoshop the picture together just to even fit it because of its size. And even with spending an extra $250 for my new scanner, I still could not get the vibrant colors as accurate and nice as the actual painting.
5). And lastly, he is just so **** cool with his giant guns and his "I am gonna kill you" pose!
