Panthera Bags
Description: Re-visiting a series I had done some work with in the past, these animal faces are specifically designed for prints and to look especially great on apparel.

When I first planned on doing this piece, I was just going to work digitally on top of the original, however I quickly realized there's more diferences between these tigers than just the colour of their fur. To do this piece I started with a base of blues, purples and yellows and then (the time consuming part) I painted the fur texture by scraping away white acrylic paint using a cocktail skewer. It may be difficult to see in this scanned version, but each area of the white fur has a raised line texture. I had to do this so that the colours wouldn't end up flat and dull and I found a brush was too broad for t
Description: The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the family Felidae and a member of the genus Panthera. It has a muscular, deep-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions have a prominent mane.

The lion is an apex and keystone predator; although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur and have been known to hunt humans, the species typically do
