JANUARY CONTEST: Tiger

[Gaelle Grizzly]

Hi there :). I couldn't resist to try this one ! I'm not sure that I correctly posted my artwork on critique arena, but I'm glad to show it to you here :).

[Melissa_Bailey]

@oana thanks so much! It's such a fun book and it was fun to put a little twist on it!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@lizardillo you made it, Liz! Love seeing the finished illustration -- very moody environment! Well done!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@tul-art LOVE this! It's so peaceful and atmospheric. Welcome to Critique Arena and congratulations on your beautiful first submission!

@koaila-art I LOVE this! The expression on the tiger is priceless!

[juliemillardart]

[Heather Boyd]

@kim-rosenlof Thank you very much.

[Tul Art]

@melissa_bailey Thank you soooo much

[Elinore Eaton]

Wowzah! I just love looking through everyone's posts. Such skills and imagination!

[lizardillo]

@oana thank you, paws are always such a joy to draw

[lizardillo]

@melissa_bailey thank you still a lot of work needed to improve backgrounds but it’s a start. Thanks again for all of your help.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@lizardillo you're so very welcome! You gave yourself an extra challenge by setting it at night -- but that makes sense because tigers are nocturnal. Unique take and well rendered!

[Heather Boyd]

@lizardillo Love the story. One of my earlier ideas had tigers playing in a swamp. And your environment is coming along nicely.

[Heather Boyd]

@marek-halko This is funny. I had only seen the top portion and was like "am I missing something". I scrolled down and was like yeah, lols. Such a off the wall unexpected story, thanks. Your story telling is another level, love it.

[Heather Boyd]

@kim-rosenlof Your character designs are super cute and nicely rendered!

[Johanna Kim]

@ruth Love this! The tiger's pose and perspective made me stop and stare with admiration.

[Jeremy Ross]

Hilarious @kim-rosenlof!! Dang! What didn’t I think of that one!?

[Johanna Kim]

Gosh, I'm amazed by everyone's unique approach on the Tiger prompt. Here's mine. I don't know why, but I tend to keep fiddling with my work until the very last minutes before midnight. Last night, I realized that my file was too big and I couldn't figure out how to shrink it down without losing readability. Any advice on that issue would be greatly appreciated.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@johanna-kim really cool concept for the prompt! BEAUTIFUL illustration. Did you do this traditionally or digitally?

[Brittanyg]

Everyones tigers turned out so great. I love how creative everyone got with this prompt! I submitted mine last night but hadn't posted it to this page yet so here it is. My computer has been acting wonky so I did this one in guache.
