very nice the size is great to show the detail, the eyes are wonderfully bright (lovely reflections in them), and the fur looks nice and soft, but also retains a realistic feel.
Glad I looked in your other gallery first before commenting, I was going to ask how you managed the fur this time around :) it looks very nice with the dodge tool used. I also particularly like the fur under the nose.
Question, because I'm curious, did you start out with the base fur colors in this being the darkest shade, or did you use a midtone and shade/highlight accordingly, or, alternately, did you layer on colors, smooth them out, and work from there with shadows and highlights?
I hope that made sense :) This is a lovely painting.
This is lovely. I love the green eyes. The orange of the tiger really makes them pop. *nods* Yup, those eyes really give this picture life.
This one reminds me of the two tiger cubs on Animal Planet, in the show Growing Up Tiger.

Oh my! What lovely green eyes he has! I love how the green is accented throughout his fur!
Ziko Says:
That is just insanely awesome.
That must've taken forever to do!
Love the detail.
The bridge of his nose, though, looks like there's a crease in it. Maybe if the fur just angled up instead of splitting at the V angle?
