    He’s a cutie! He looks like he wants to be ferocious but doesn’t quite know how! Nice work.

      Thanks, Vanessa. I think he can turn on the ferociousness when he needs to…

      Thanks, Nancy. When I look at the painting now, it flips between kitten and tiger to me… both friendly though!

    Aww, he’s trying so hard to be ferocious, Sir Aquatom, instead of being afraid, I wanna put my arms around him and squeeze tight. (methinks that would be a mistake ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) Congrats on the painting though, ’tis amazing in detail, if I tried ‘twould hardly be recognizable as anything. xPenx

      He doesn’t mind a hug, Lady P, but a tight squeeze may irk him some.
      And thanks for the congrats!

          This one doesn’t mind stares, Pen… although he doesn’t like it if you don’t look at him…

    It is amazing how your fierce tiger manages to give an air of diffident introspection!
