I don't care how nice she is. I would shit myself if I saw that in front of me. But Holy spirits this is one amazing pic.

Chunky is the biggest, strongest creature that Tigu knows. It's a Boar-Cat.

Mr Catz

Will there be a hard cover of book 2 like there was for the first book? I didn't miss it did I?

Aune

did this spectral tiger in the fight at the dueling peaks have functions other then a manifestation of her intent? was not expressed, or hinted at, but i liked to imagine Tigu giving a strike, and the tiger mimics the motion, and at the point of impact they(fist/paw overlap a brief moment, even without any obvious 'add on buff'

Carl Mason

Looking at photos of tigers and comparing with this drawing, those are definitely tusks. I had the same thought that they might be white jaw fur, but they are definitely not .

This Tigu illustration is fire but I’m wondering if/when Tsuu will work on the Zuyhe illustration. We definitely need to see him yelling as Xiao De and the bees in his mouth at the very least

Len

Cough her ..sire...definitely was NOT an ordinary....CAT.

Carl Mason

She is not a housecat, she is a mini tiger. Just ask any cat you know if they are a tiger.

Carl Mason

It would be fun if it was her first showing in the noodle shop scene, but I think this is the dueling peaks finale.

Housecat with the soul of a tiger. Its pretty heavily hinted that her sire was....more.

LiamOfOrmonde

Wait a second… Tigu is a housecat! Not a tiger! This is a trick!

Nicholas Grey

Yep, it’s being kept consistent too (many people commented on her thighs in the last art piece, with much appreciation). Tigers pounce, it’s what they do.

Nicholas Grey

I appreciate the fact that the super-shredded look is explicitly made clear to literally be part of the technique, rather than just her being inherently super-defined.

Featherweight

I mean, its pretty clearly intentional Stylization to make the tiger more Monstrous.

Len

looks great but the "tusks" are right but wrong, think Saber Tooth Tiger. Reverse the uppers to point down to rend and tear. and on the lower jaw mirror the inner so that they allow the jaw to close creating a "scissor" with the uppers.... but the rest loooks awesome. be even better if it i was the noodle shop in the background.

Pamela Gillespie

Don't think that those are tusks, looks more like bits of white fur

The GrandMage

Yeah. The issue with the upper set is if the mouth was closed, they'd take up the same space as the lower set, meaning that tiger could never close its mouth. That's really jarring once you realize it. A cool design doesn't need to be realistic, but I just can't unsee that that Tiger is not so much growling as that is it's default and only available facial configuration.

Death is negotiable, but violence... Hehehahahahaha... Violence is MANDATORY.

Tragic Hysteria

Tigu is awesome! I am still lobbying for Tigu to get a power boost though!

Deadpan29

Agreed. The tusks, particularly the upper set, are distracting to the point that they detract from the picture rather than add to it.

Nyroe

Dang Tigu is jacked! Look at those quads, the art is amazing

Net

Yep. There's Tigu.

Flay

Damn cool, Tigu is rocking that Hoarah Loux style

Caerold

Omfg that’s awesome!

Nicholas Grey

While very impressive, I’m less than certain that tusks going up from the *upper* jaw really makes sense, agreed.

Ibn Nuh

😳 oh my

Thunderhoof

It's like the depiction of those temple dogs

Bunny Waffles

Damn right! And one of those people is me!

Powernap

The tusks seem a bit much rest is great though.

Sriad

Awesome so far--there seems to be some "so shredded that she's erupting with an aura of Claws and Fire" energy in there; it might be fun see how cranking that up works.
