What many people don’t know is how polite looking the Tyger from the poem ‘the Tyger’ is
Commissioned character art for the novel "Dominion" by Jean Kwok. This is a scene near the beginning of the book, when Blake has captured Rubi after she wounded one of the sacred battle tygers and is taking her back to face judgment. This was a challenging scene to paint, and as so often, my fearless partner helped me with modeling. I usually model alone for my own paintings, but with couple poses it’s a bit trickier because you really want the visual information of 2 people being close. So just imagine us straddling an ottoman trying to look serious and not to miss the moment from the ipad’s camera timer. 😂 (If you ever date an artist, this will be your life.)
Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?
Heraldic beasts drawn with Dotpict! First two were from 2020, second two, 2021. A Cockerel, a Panther, a Lyon, and a Tyger. Not that I even need to list them out... They're all common animals that are easily recognizable.
GUYS GUYS GUYS I JUST HAD A REVELATION AND NONE OF MY FRIENDS UNDERSTAND COS NONE OF THEM ARE IN BOTH OF THESE FANDOMS
Okokokok HEAR ME OUT:
Cheshire and Red Arrow/Arsenal (Young Justice) are LITERALLY Scythe Rand and Tyger (Ark of a Scythe)
DO WE SEE THE VISION
PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDDDDD
At the very least, Cheshire is EXACTLY what I imagined Scythe Rand to look like.
(Also I haven't finished Young Justice yet I'm only up to like the first few episodes of s2 so no spoilers tyyy)
2009, pencil, watercolour and salt.
Also below a photo of how the art card from my INPRNT shop looks, really happy with the print quality! And… my favourite old Twitter posts about “The Tyger” by William Blake specifically 🐯
My thought on Thunderhead which fucked me up, and I would like a lawyer to sue
There will be a ton of spoilers so don't read if you wanna avoid them!
