Description Hey there! Amazing, isn't it? This makes three deviations in about four days -- which is probably a new record for me.

This was actually the first project I started working on when I got my new Wacom tablet, but I just got around to finishing it now. It had been sitting in a folder for months, and was originally going to be a promotional poster for The Thriller, my story over at FFnet. But as my old tablet began to act funky (Aiptek hunk-a-junk) I had to put it on the back burner.

And just in case you're wondering, that isn't a younger Tigress walking back to the barracks from the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom -- that's an OC I'm developing for the final chapters of Thriller. Her name is Ying, and is one of Po's students, although she doesn't show much appreciation for kung fu. Unlike Tigress, Ying is also one of your typical girly-girls, which means she very much embraces her femininity, if the flower and the eye liner weren't enough of an indication to that effect. And although she is very sociable by nature, she doesn't seem to get along well with other children.

Her origins remain largely unknown; being the only black tiger -- or tiger in general -- in recent memory to be left at the doorstep of the Bao Gu Orphanage. The only information known about her was left in the form of a note. She still believes that her parents are out there somewhere, and she misses them dearly.

Since she is a black tiger, I had a rather difficult time in choosing the right color charts for her fur, especially since she's in a nighttime landscape. Gah, it almost killed me! That is all I will say about her for now. The rest of my readers will find out more when I actually get to writing the next couple of chapters

But hey, it's better later than never, right? RIGHT!? Hope you all enjoy this, and leave a comment if you like!

Cheers

OMG!!! Thats beyong amazing!! Its perfect!

Ying's colors look strickingly similar to my character i asked you to draw out (Draggon). But only different is, Draggon is more of a sabertooth , plus she is beyong huge in muscle lol!

Ying is a very cute character! And the BG looks like a photograph! , Nice job!

Haha it was such a pain to get her colors just right so that she would stick out from the backdrop...and that's good, I can use Ying's charts as a reference then! Thanks for the comment

Your welcome!

And good idea! Ya know, some of my friends like drawing Draggon because she is 'different' . I guess because her body type matches Tai Lung's exactly, hehe buff characters are fun to draw both male and female.

Ying is a girly-girl?? Lol! cute

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?" --T'was what popped into my mind when I saw this. It's awesome! I think you chose a good color for her fur, so don't sweat it.

The glow from the fireflies justifies the color of her fur, I think. So you shouldn't have tried to kill yourself over it. xD

Well thank you, that's kind of you to say. Oh, and like I mentioned to Skyy, those aren't fireflies -- they're actually lights from the village below. Thanks again!

Oh shiz. My bad, xD

Well, to correct myself, the glow from the VILLAGE justifies her fur, so...don't kill yourself over it. lol.

This is the best piece I've seen all day. The only way it could be any better is it had a panda in it. That's just my thing though

Well, her stripes and much of her face fur is white and tan. It was difficult to figure on how to color her in this particular scene.

Ying! Is this from a scene that you're looking into illustrating? I really like it, especially all the effects like the fading in the background and the fireflies that seem to follow Ying. I'm looking into finishing reading The Thriller. Nice, man.

Fireflies? OH! Lol I think you're referring to the lights, yes? That's the village below And I don't know yet if this will be an actual scene yet, but, we'll see...

Really nice! I WISH I could draw like you! And the effects on the tablet with the stars...really nice. For some reason, it reminds me of this meteor shower from last week...

Just like I wish I could WRITE like you. And you would be so very correct, miss -- the shooting stars bit was a last minute addition, which was added because of last week's event. Glad you like
