Portrait commission for Kimburr, the third I've done for her! This time her character is pictured as a melanistic tiger with red eyes, giving a look I'm fairly sure no one wants to receive from an enormous apex predator. Especially this close... Loved doing this one, there's something so satisfying about painting an animal portrait like this.

Thank you! I'm actually not sure what you mean, which "one with orange eyes" are you talking about? ^^;
Seems like I've seen a similar image as an avatar with gold eyes. You mentioned you had worked with the same client before so I thought , maybe you did this other one I've seen around too? I cant find a link, do maybe I just need more sleep for now :p
Oh! Hm, this is the first time I've done an image of a tiger staring this directly. So probably not me. The previous art I've done for Kimburr are these three:

and at least one icon as well!
Aha! I figured it out! I thought maybe you did Deyvarah's avatar :B

Awesomely done, powerful portrait! Love the look of that gaze, and your choice for the colors came out very, very well for the tone.
Also, I still can see the ANGRY BEAR FACE! xD
