Description Update: Cleaned up a lot of the lines, upped the contrast, removed the ugly signature and did a lot of refining all over the piece. Again, the original is for sale! Note me if you're interested.

-----

Did this mostly on my way back home from school (in the train). Someone mentioned that my "cat faces" could use some work, and while I'm fully aware that this is really the least of my problems, it pushed me to look up some pictures of tigers (one of my favorite animals) and study them. As I was working, I got a sudden urge to try and make something pretty out of it and so that's what I tried to do.

Artwork by Ilse "Lhune" Gort, 2011.

Notice how I made one tiger's chin the other tiger's ear fluff. Just 'cause I can.

LadyFenris66 [2011-12-05 23:59:26 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous work! This could definitely be a tee-shirt design even as is. I love the personal touches an artist leaves on their work. It can never be reproduced exactly and the unseen flaws make it even more beautiful.

Would make a great t-shirt if it were finished/colored Love the pose. I have a t-shirt that has the same idea almost, but of different big cats. Tiger, Lion etc.. love it

Heh I know what you mean, I used to have a shirt like that with eagles on it as a kid . I don't think I'll be finishing it though I'm fairly confident I'll still spend some time refining it, as there are some "sloppy" areas that need work.

quicksilverstudios In reply to CaraidArt [2011-12-05 22:56:59 +0000 UTC]

It still has very good bones to it, and a lot of promise as a design. It is lovely, really do like it, as I love my own t-shirt that's a lot like it.

I am sure it would be very popular as a t-shirt
