I decided I need more expressive animal art, so here is a very happy tiger. :)
I also used some new texture effects that give the painting a very nice structure effect (I think).

Here's a full body painting of the tiger. I used fur textures from cgtextures (a great site btw for anything texture related).

Some very expressive outtake (fun stuff you do when you've gone completely crazy painting a happy tiger all day long ;). Why a bubble gum? I don't know honestly.
