Do your villagers ever give you real art?

I've been mailed/gifted art from my villagers a few times now, and they're usually statues. But everytime, they've always been fake! It's frustrating especially when statues are hard to get from Redd, especially genuine ones. Just wanted to see if anybody has ever received real art from their villagers.
 
Great name! lol (my island is called Nyan and I'm filling it with cat only villagers). I have never gotten any art from another villager before, personally.
 
Yup. I got a familiar statue from Sherb, a dynamic painting from Punchy, and when I had two smuga - either a real tremendous statue or real warrior. I also got a fake basic from Rudy. I’m so happy they fixed the letters. I got the dynamic one recently :). Gimme some more statues please (of course I still am going to buy them from people and farm Redd cuz it’s fun and I like to trade too much :P)

Btw, smugs and lazies always gift real art, or at least they have the few times for me and I believe someone confirmed that on the forums.

Haha thank you!

I've had Marshal gift me two statues and they've both been fake :cry: maybe my marshal is dumb haha
 
Haha thank you!

oh dang. :( Sorry ><. I’ll do some more digging and see if I can find out more on that unless someone else posts about it here and can give you more info; take what I said as a grain of salt for now.

Of course! And thanks for the info! I always just get annoyed because I get super excited when I get gifted art (especially statues), and it turns out to be fake. I've been farming Redd every time he visits, but now I'm down to needing like 2-3 more statues and it's getting harder and harder to find them, which has been frustrating.
 
I found this. Strange. I know for sure I got real art from my smugs and lazies. It’s a shame that I didn’t save all of the letters. I thought some of them stated what they sent me (I just checked the letters that I saved, and they didn’t, so maybe my brain just processed it like they did lol).
 
Only Roscoe and Lucky have given me art. Roscoe gave me a real statue and Lucky gave me a fake one. I was so upset that Lucky's was fake because my art section is so empty!!
 
I keep hearing that it’s possible, but it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe they all got lost in the mail during that last update period where Nintendo goofed on the Mail. Man, even the virtual post office is a mess these days!
 
You can definitely get real art from your residents. If my memory serves me, I've gotten a real sculpture from Wolfgang (cranky) and a real painting from Claude (lazy). I remember being very surprised when it happened.
 
I've gotten maybe 3 real and 3 fake pieces of art from my villagers so far. The first 3 I received were fake, and the last 3 were real! So maybe it was dependent of friendship level?
 
I've gotten a couple of real artworks from my villagers, and a couple of fake ones as well. Can't fully recall offhand who sent me what, although I did mark down the Ancient Statue as art I got from Prince. I think Zucker, Beardo and Angus are the other villagers who've sent me art (so lazy/smug/cranky).
 
I just got a genuine Great Statue in my mail today by Kabuki, and he was like "I don't know where I got this from but there you go kiddo" lol

Sherb once gave me a fake painting but I forgave him because he is too cute.
 
I've gotten art from my villagers in the mail twice now (from Pierce, a jock, and Chief, a cranky); both were fakes.
