TIGER: WIP feedback requested
-
Yes to the robes and hat... they add story depth to the image.
I kind of like it as a spot illustration. I could actually see adding a couple more tigers that just got finished and having them admiring their stripes as they walk off to the right.
-
More progress. Still trying to decide on background or not. For a background I am picturing bamboo structures like a porch or something. I think my problem is that I have no clear picture of a background in my head.

Hi @chrisaakins, like where this going. I think traditional dojo wood floor planks go well here, and good opportunity for a vignette piece. Keeps the focus on the characters.
-
@jeremy-ross so keep the floors as I? I looked up dojo floors and they don’t look too far off from what I have. Except blond wood.
-
I agree with Jeremy. The characters are strong so a vignette would be a good idea. It’s looking great

I think I’m done. Unless anyone sees some glaring issues. I am pretty happy with it and think I finally have a good storytelling illustration to enter. The old tiger’s eyes were bothering me and I think this looks better.
-
@lizardillo thanks! I do love me some tigers.
-
Yep @chrisaakins!
-
I love the story behind this piece, very interesting and unique. The eyes of the older tiger does get a lot better after you changed it. You keep the composition very simple and sweet.
Here's my suggestions, feel free to ignore me, as I can be totally wrong
-
Maybe add some kind of sign or flag, to write it's a ceremony of coming of age ritual. As the teachers might say why there's a need to paint strips?
-
I do figure out the straw hat the little tiger is holding, but the silhoutte is not so clear at first glance. Maybe tilt the angle or show a bit inside of the hat.
Great work though!

@chrisaakins love this concept! The only thing I might suggest changing is making the hat slightly darker, it seems a bit too close in value to the background
