An old contest entry for saliencat.deviantart.com/journ... of the emotion sorrow/helplessness/desolation as a mother tiger finds her cub dead. Watching animal documentaries are so depressing sometimes D:

My first time actually drawing a big cat digitally! Sorry about the anatomy mistakes I didn't notice them until I started coloring... It has to be one of the pieces I've spent the most time doing fur texture for (even though it still turned out looking funny). I was trying to make the tiger look all wet so I tried doing clumps of fur and added white to make it seem like water dripping down. That took forever since I kept on making everything look messy. I was trying to create contrast with the bright colours from the big tiger that is alive with the darkness of dead cub and background. It was also new for me to do rain :D

Listening to beautiful and depressing songs like
Hello Night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nucWAR...
and
Solitude: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6iZA3...
to get in the mood XD
