Description
This is based off the poem, The Tyger by William Blake. I love this poem because every time I hear it or read it, I'm inspired to draw. This was the product.This was also influenced by Celtic Illustrations.
The lyrics;
Tyger, Tyger, burning bright
in the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
could frame thy fearful symmetry?
The Tyger (poem) (c) Willaim Blake
Neocasko won the free commission by suggesting the name "Tyger's Cosmic Abstraction",

Thank you! I adore the poem, but I know this has its flaws. It's still one of my favorites though

A more traditional name could be Celtic Tyger. An abstract one could be The Light in the Forest.

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
William Blake, 1794

HAHAH OMG I'M SO SILLY i got so carried away with the poem i didn't even read the prize/commission thingy at all! totally glossed over it LMFAO i love your ttiger btw but probably because it looks quite fox-like and i love foxesss.
ok i'm a bit hyper right now.
my absolute favourite verse - and one of my favourites of all poems i love is:
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
