I think this is beautiful. I love the addition of the three tigers and how you treated the lighting in your finished piece. (This is only my opinion and it is a small detail, however, I noticed right away that the splashes around the hind legs are a little off to me. Both hind legs have splashes as if in motion. It seems to me that the left hind leg should have rings and drips as it feels like it is the stationary limb at that moment, and not the backward splash of a leg that has entered/left the water) Regardless, it is a beautiful piece of art. I envy your talent.

Thanks you for your kind words and thoughtful insight. You are right and I think I will, indeed, revisit that leg. I have realized that trying to create water splashing in a digital painting is very difficult. I spent many hours of doing and redoing to try to get it as realistic as possible. That's why I always post these images here, to my fellow 'Hoggers' to gain some insight into something I have missed or can improve upon.

Thanks again,

Don

Don,
Your matching the tonality of the tigers to that of the scene is absolutely impeccable.
Simply a masterful accomplishment in all regards.

Thank you for stopping by photophile. I always loved that old temple, but never really knew what to do with it until I started this tiger series. You are right, they do seem to belong there.

They are all amazing. The one over your mantle looks fantastic where it is. I also appreciated the shot showing you at work. Gives us some insight into the process. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Erich, for the kind words. I wasn't even sure if it would fit there. Like I said, I originally created this for my wife and it was supposed to go on our large living room wall. I figured the shot of me in my studio might help folks understand some of the things I was trying to describe.
