That's cool.

Photoshop or Painter?

You've definitely captured that photographic look.

Nice color and value range, but I gotta say that your choice of photo reference is really killing this illustration. All the interesting parts of the tiger are obscured (face, paws) and its not exactly clear whats going on. The rendering itself isnt bad, but next time find a better picture to base your illustration on.

i dont know exactly..what u mean by whats goin on..?
but all i can say is the animal is in action and have tried to capture him in that frame! low camera angle..and with good flow of the body kinda makes it dramatic.

thanks for comments thou

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it has something to do with whatever reference picture you used, but tigers aren't supposed to be that... luminous/bright. I love your vivid colors, but it takes away from the realism, if that's what you're trying to achieve. It just kind of seems as if someone's shining a really bright floodlight on it to make its colors stand out.

Do you mean Wildlife Conservation?

His ear is too bright/uniform. It reads as a flat space rather than a hole/recession. I also agree with McNallyism in that the grass in the foreground could frame the tiger better. Other than that, it's lookin good.

I think its a nice art piece, but it looks strange as a cover; the colors should be more vivid and the shapes a little more stylized and direct. But I REALLY like it as a painting.
I was wondering about the conversation/conservation thing too, not that its important.
