Description The Fire Bringer… shape shifter and destroyer. He brings with him the end and new beginnings…

I have had this idea in my mind for a long time. A tiger’s colors mimic flames and reflect his ability to blend in with his surroundings. Sometimes we lose ourselves in our surroundings, forgetting what our purpose is and how to achieve our goals. Flames often occur in our lives when we are trying to renew ourselves by letting go of the old, and in return embrace new life.

Here are some of my other fire animals:

It´s difficult to decide whether it´s fire or wood that surrounds the tiger, but I guess this was intended. Amazing artwork again.

Thank you There are different ways to use the pencil-I like to but down my base color first, then apply water with a brush. I let the water spread out over the background to get the bleeding effects I was after. You can also put down water and draw on the water, making a darker line of color.
