Description The Tiger
Pencil on paper, 10x15cm, 2007

In my dream which I saw in couple of days ago, there was my younger sister in a tiger skin standing in emptyness. I think I dreamed this because of my temper which I've had since I was quite little (considering this point, "my sister" is actually "me myself") and also the fact I learned that the tigers are facing extinction by not only the global warming, but also poaching in a zoo next to my school. The zoo's tiger section was decorated with shocking pictures of the poaching just like those and warn the visitors that how tigers are slayed because of their fur and bones (bones are used for "medicine").

Great job, as always!
Your art always has such...eh...I'm not sure of the word...meaning for lack of a better term. Some of it is slighty disturbing but its all very good.

Thank you Glad you feel what I am always long to express through my art...

^.^
Yeah, I can see that you really try to express things in your art. A lot of people to do that much anymore, and I lack the talent to do so.
So, I'll settle for your art instead. lol

Hmm... if you keep on with your manga style and express something, I think it's good to think about pictures on the first page of each chapter from manga...(ยดฯ‰๏ฝ€

Yeah, I guess I could. But I really want to get into realism. It's really hard though. I guess my manga style is kind of realistic in the sense of how the folds of the clothes are and the hair and shading.

True, that's a good idea.

Superbly detailed and stylized. I love the anatomy and tones. Highly intricate and elegant. Simply gorgeous composition.

XD I have such a big love for tigers, and this picture caught my eye immediately. I love how you've pulled this off beautifully- the tiger part of the girl but almost not. Very interesting. I love studying it over and over again.

Did you use a reference picture for the tiger's head?

I can guess how much you love the big cats from your avy!
The picture can be seen in the internet when you search "tiger" in google pics, but it isn't a slayed tiger. There are also beautiful tiger pics in here, deviantART, too.
