Volume 3 Teaser: The Tiger Versus the Heron
Added 2023-05-16 02:49:03 +0000 UTC"It was like she had been flayed down to the muscle. There was no softness anywhere to be had—only pure, predatory violence."
Tsuu is cooking some good things up for the Vol 3 images. It should be out this year as well~

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.

2023-05-18 11:02:39 +0000 UTCChunky is the biggest, strongest creature that Tigu knows. It's a Boar-Cat.

2023-05-18 02:14:58 +0000 UTCWill there be a hard cover of book 2 like there was for the first book? I didn't miss it did I?

2023-05-18 00:33:38 +0000 UTCdid 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'

2023-05-17 20:20:11 +0000 UTCLooking 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 .

2023-05-17 19:10:44 +0000 UTCThis 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

2023-05-17 18:31:25 +0000 UTCCough her ..sire...definitely was NOT an ordinary....CAT.

2023-05-17 05:34:36 +0000 UTCShe is not a housecat, she is a mini tiger. Just ask any cat you know if they are a tiger.
Carl Mason
2023-05-17 04:18:42 +0000 UTCIt would be fun if it was her first showing in the noodle shop scene, but I think this is the dueling peaks finale.

2023-05-17 04:08:41 +0000 UTCHousecat with the soul of a tiger. Its pretty heavily hinted that her sire was....more.

2023-05-17 02:17:51 +0000 UTCWait a second… Tigu is a housecat! Not a tiger! This is a trick!

2023-05-17 00:13:41 +0000 UTCYep, 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
2023-05-16 21:51:37 +0000 UTCI 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.
Nicholas Grey
2023-05-16 21:49:53 +0000 UTCI mean, its pretty clearly intentional Stylization to make the tiger more Monstrous.
Featherweight
2023-05-16 14:39:21 +0000 UTClooks 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.
Len
2023-05-16 13:54:25 +0000 UTCDon't think that those are tusks, looks more like bits of white fur
Pamela Gillespie
2023-05-16 09:20:55 +0000 UTCYeah. 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.

2023-05-16 07:18:59 +0000 UTCDeath is negotiable, but violence... Hehehahahahaha... Violence is MANDATORY.

2023-05-16 06:43:16 +0000 UTCTigu is awesome! I am still lobbying for Tigu to get a power boost though!
Tragic Hysteria
2023-05-16 06:12:16 +0000 UTCAgreed. The tusks, particularly the upper set, are distracting to the point that they detract from the picture rather than add to it.

2023-05-16 05:32:00 +0000 UTCDang Tigu is jacked! Look at those quads, the art is amazing
Nyroe
2023-05-16 05:18:19 +0000 UTCYep. There's Tigu.
Net
2023-05-16 05:06:00 +0000 UTCDamn cool, Tigu is rocking that Hoarah Loux style
Flay
2023-05-16 04:57:08 +0000 UTCOmfg that’s awesome!
Caerold
2023-05-16 04:45:23 +0000 UTCWhile very impressive, I’m less than certain that tusks going up from the *upper* jaw really makes sense, agreed.
Nicholas Grey
2023-05-16 04:32:12 +0000 UTC😳 oh my
Ibn Nuh
2023-05-16 03:18:02 +0000 UTCIt's like the depiction of those temple dogs
Thunderhoof
2023-05-16 03:12:00 +0000 UTCDamn right! And one of those people is me!
Bunny Waffles
2023-05-16 03:04:01 +0000 UTCThe tusks seem a bit much rest is great though.
Powernap
2023-05-16 03:03:37 +0000 UTCAwesome 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.

2023-05-16 03:00:04 +0000 UTCTigu kick butt! I am excited.

2023-05-16 02:52:18 +0000 UTCHmmm this will satisfy some people in the discord
