Description Here we have a tyger roaming through the Passage of the Dead, his strawberry pink tongue mocking the dead, a shattered clock presenting frozen time in the land of the dead.

I've actually managed to turn this into a 3D image, which had been posted here: [link] so if you click on the link and follow the instructions, you'll be able to see the image in 3d! yay!

EDIT: I've adjusted colours, focus, and basicaly have remade this, because while I was happy with it, I wanted it to be more epic. So, it is more of a descent into the city of the dead now, instead of just a tiger walking through a grave riddled tunnel. Yay!

I saw this, and thought of William Blakes poem, 'Tyger Tyger'.

Tyger! Tyger! shimmering bright,
In the city of the night.


Things required for the Contest:
One Cat : Tyger
One Fruit : His tongue is the strawberry, but I realise you can't see it so I've made this available to download so you can zoom in. doesn't look like a strawberry, I must admit, but where else was I gonna put it?
One Clock : Shattered clock.


STOCK:
The background is my own.
The Tiger, the Strawberry and the Clock are from the DeviantART stock project with Fotolia

I hope you all enjoy it!

Very Very cool idea! I love it! Although I think a lion might have been more fitting, but that's only because I have watched the movie The Ghost and the Darkness far too many times.
Again, very nice piece of work here!

Thank you! I just hope my work gets recognised for the contest! I think a lion would have been great, but the contest asked for either the tiger shown in this image, or one of two kittens stocks they provided. Might redo this image at a later date though!
Thanks for the great comment!

I like this! One of the better examples of setting the colors and lighting so the object fits into the chosen background! On a side note, I think its funny you and I both flipped the tiger horizontally. I'm not sure what made me do it myself

Nicely done! Bending is stunning, you may have to make the strawberry more obvious though, maybe just make it brighter? Like this very much!
