Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies.
Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference.
I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration. If you are interested in buying this art print, please click here

A couple of digital wips and smaller pen/ charcoal drawings from the last weeks and months. As long as the dimensions aren't too large (so I can draw on my lap basically) I seem to be able to handle dry media pretty well, which is awesome. Just have to keep an eye on my hand muscles.
Refs of the first row are mostly my own, except for the bird which was in a reference image pack I bought from creatureartteacher.com (check them out, there are some really beautiful pics available there and they frequently have sales going on).
The pen drawings in the second row were both referenced from images on Pixabay. I'm so happy I managed to draw at least this one tiger this year 🤣 That was the one single resolve I made haha. Technically I also made a small cartoon-ish tiger drawing during the summer, so I would've been fine either way, but I think I never attempted to draw a realistic tiger before? So this was a fun little challenge! I messed up the stripes on his head a bit, but 🤫🤫🤫

This tiger and other animals like it would usually sleep in the morning unless it had been raining the previous night. So we would only try to photograph them near their feeding sessions in the early afternoon.
I'm having major tiger shifts this evening and it's really nice! I rarely ever get tiger shifts, so it's like a rare treat! I can't wait to get tiger gear tbh
Artificial Insemination Part of Efforts to Boost Critically Low Tiger Population Now
The Malaysian government is using artificial insemination as part of its efforts to boost the critically low population of Malayan Tigers. The initiative is being carried out at the National Wildlife Rescue Centre (NWRC) in Sungkai.

I know it's not valentine anymore but i think it's kinda cute, adler is probably rethinking on how a small cub like this can eventually scar his face like that. atleast that's what bell thought
