Pffffff

You there. You like, just commented on something of mine.

Yeah. This is how I feel right now.
Lol, you just happen to be a person I really admire So outburst ensued.

Anyways, thank you! This piece is probably one of my top favorites (digital wise) that I have in my gallery. I've already made a mental note to make something else in this style, I'm just not sure what yet. I was thinking a red panda, but we'll see!

Oh gosh, thank you so much!
I have to admit, I think this is one of my favorite digital pieces I have done so far. It did take a while to do though, but it was such a fun adventure that I'm going to continue this style with other animals And yes, tigers are such amazing animals, I couldn't been happier with subject choice here!
Again, thank you for such kind words towards my art, they're greatly appreciated! Β

Hey, you there!
Where have you been old friend? Good to "see" you again!

Thank you, this is my first time ever experimenting with this sort of "messy" style, and it seems to have been pretty well received by people. I'm definitely going to do something in this style again, that's for sure! So thank you again for your kind words! C:

Lol, this wasn't meant to follow a "real" tiger or anything, I just went with my gut and drew and arranged things as I liked. But thank you for the critique, constructive criticism is always welcome around here! And I'm really happy to hear that you like the fur, I spent the longest on that, out of the whole picture, than anything else! It was driving me nuts! (No doubt, due to the perfectionism that courses through my veins…)s

This is so beautiful! Β I love how the tiger's tears are sparkling and seem to form stars, or sparkles on water. Β Although it is sort of sad, the tiger has a quiet dignity about her.

CatBeast17 In reply to WooflesArt [2014-07-03 02:02:54 +0000 UTC]

Others would seem to agree with you, that this is definitely a beautiful kind of bittersweet…if that makes sense Β 
But thank you kindly, I had a lot of fun making this, and I think that it's become one of my favorites out of all my digital art practices I'm going to do something in this style again, that's for sure!
I'm happy that you mentioned the tears, as I didn't know what I was going to do with them at first. This was one of those rare cases where I actually didn't have a strategic plan involving the creation of this piece. I sort of when with my gut, and arranged things in a way that I liked, and just went with it I'm glad I did!
And wow, I'm really impressed that you knew the tiger was female…I knew the gender the minute I started drawing her, and I was kind of hoping that others would pick up on it too (Though, I wouldn't have been upset if they didn't). But I like the phrase "quiet dignity" that you used, it is a nice description of what's going on here, and one that I agree with Β

It's wonderful when the feeling you are trying to convey carries through in your art so well. Β Some art carries a powerful emotion with it, this is one of them. Β I'm not sure what specifically tipped me off that she is female...I just kind of knew it, lol. Β I often have a specific vision of what I am drawing, but it rarely works out that way. Β What I envision ends up being to complicated for me, and I just end up drawing what I can.

Ah digital, some awesome looking things you can do with that medium! I do like the way the brush strokes look on the edge and the fur, going in opposite directions! Fur is something that I've been meaning to practice as digital is still quite daunting D:

What program did you use? and what tool (I'm guessing tablet, but hey some people do crazy things with just a mouse or touchpad!) I can't remember if I asked that before xDΒ And of course, nice work!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

CatBeast17 In reply to SouthclawJK [2014-05-10 00:16:21 +0000 UTC]

Heck yes! Digital media is extremely fun to work with, if not a little daunting!
Ohhhh that fur, it took me ages to figure out what to do with it (or how to do it, I should say). But drawing fur is one of my favorite things to do in animal artwork Β 

I use Photoshop for all my digital needs (though, I do have Gimp too). And nope, I don't have a tablet, everything digital is done using the touchpad on my Mac. And I don't remember either
Thank you very much friend!
