I freaking love this.

My half of a second trade with *MoonsongWolf. I got a choice between two characters, a dog called Star and this golden tabby tiger. I ended up picking the tiger, since when I tried to draw Star I got off-topic and ended up with this: [link] . Lawl.

I actually got inspired to do this while on vacation in Florida (sorry Florida people, but I hate your state's climate with a passion). There was a bunch of Spanish moss draping off the trees, so I thought "Hey that's be cool for the tiger picture" and then it sort of blossomed from there. It took a very long time to do, but I can say with confidence that this is my best realism I've ever done. It has about 60 layers, I shit you not.

ANYwhooo, hope you like it, *MoonsongWolf, and keep up your seckstastic art, k? K.

That is a great effort at realism. Very good work on the lighting and background.

"We have doomed the Wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be.. the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer.. which is in reality no more than a reflexed image of ourself."
