Description A mini project I set myself about a year ago (or more) Inspired by Gustav Holst's Planet Suite. Yes i am aware that mars isn't that red, but i'm allowed some degree of artistic modifications

Animal Species: siberian tiger
Reason for choice: well...would you want to fight an angry tiger? plus theyre pretty well equiped for the cold

That's truly amazing!!

You've given me an idea for my other project Animal Planet and Animal Astronomy when I'm finished with my Okami/Naruto project!I've been at a loss for the perfect animal for Mars (since he's the war god)I thought an Ox or a Tiger.

Your Animals are well chosen and you draw them good!
Thanks for the ispiration!!
Great Job!!

It all depends on the basis of said project. A good inspiration for this would be Greek and Roman mythology, seeing as most of our planets names come from there.

For example, Mars had festivals in March, so you could even base it on Astrology, which would be Aries. This would probably suit your project more apropriately.

My basis was more on the symphony rather than actual legend and myth

Well I was gonna make aries (Ram) for mars but I wanted the zodiac to be constellation instead for animal astronomy because I wanted to choose the animals.Is this good or not?

If you mean astrology, I can't say as it isn't my project. As i said, it really depends on what you're after and what you're basing it on

Nice! I really like the martian answer to a solaar flare that's coming off of the tigers feet.

is this planet suite an album? if so, I must listen

It's wonderful you have such variety in your work. I've seen wolves, dragons, cats, and birds here, so you've got it very nicely laid out.
