Artist's Comments

I seriously am amazed how this picture turned out... I've decided to give the Tiger a name... Marcus the King of Ace. (Hence why he's holding an Ace card).

I re-adjusted my scanner and now it shouldn't develop such hard sepia coloured lead artworks. The problem was that someone defaulted it into strong saturation on colours, which heavily affected graphite work. But now, it's all fixed! ^^

Materials used:
- Standard A4 80 gsm paper.
- H to 9B Derwent Soft Graphite pencils.
- 0.7 2B and 0.5 HB mechanical pencils for drawing the fine hairs.
- Standard and Putty eraser for highlighting.
- Tissue and Paper stump for blending.
- Time taken: Almost a week and in 38 degree temperatures! ><.

King Of Ace by ~uniqueLegend There's something about this piece that really catches me- and lures my eyes to the fantastic shapes, and contrast this illustration has to offer. Beautifully rendered composition! (Suggested by =Avalik and Featured by ^Katmomma)

May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.
:iconcrystalglacier:
Wow! Amazing! :heart: Must be kinda difficult for him to handle cards with those paws, though.

:iconuniquelegend:
Thanks! :heart:

Yeah... I mean, tigers have furry paws and shorter fingers than us humans, so it would be harder to hold onto the card.

Wow this is incredible! :o I love his paw and his card! All the detail is just gorgeous! I'd love to see more of these with a different animal for every queen and king someday. I think it'd be an awesome series. But y'know, on it's own this is amazing too! :D
:iconuniquelegend:
Awww... Thank you! :heart: :hug:

I was actually thinking about making a series of anthro like animals in the most realistic, but fantasy way. :D Drawing the Tiger was fun, I have to admit.
Thank again! :D
