I had to edit my notes on this piece, seems too much information can confuse people so I do apologize for that.
This is a digital painting done in twisted brush. I spent hours trying to get the right appearance and those lines on him were a bear....lol Play on words there.....{ bear get it ..yeah I know but it struck me as funny LOL} I used a filter for the background to give it a textured look, something different.
After hours of work, this is him, My tiger..Hope you enjoy his beauty.

Now you see why I did the water balls, I began seeing strips everywhere LOL
