There are now words for the hurt one feels looking at this, it is great art work. Seeing the year, I'm pleased that you shared this with us.

Another great piece! You've really captured a sad mood here, poor tiger . The colors work really well together and I like the way the composition makes him seem more surrounded/closed in. You're damn good, but you should already know that

Awesome! But I must know now what is the meaning behind this piece?

fantastic work

The emotion behind the piece seems to just jump out at me. U've been added to my fav. artists list just for this. +100 if it were possible. Just WOW.

Even though chained, the tiger conveys a sense of power and dignity. Even his dire circumstances can't change the fact that HE IS THE TIGER...
Beautifull piece.

I...ummm...err....GOD THAT'S AMAZIIIIIIING!!!!! The emotion!! The power!! The pain!! The sheer artistry!!!!

I'm in SHOCK!!!!!

This is a very poignant piece - stirs up a lot of emotion when you look at it - I'm at a loss for words to express how I really feel when I look at this - - - - -

Sure makes you think.

I am really glad for the feedback on this one, as it is obviously personal and a concept piece. It is about the human spirit using animals as a metaphoric reference an Jie made the correct call. Regardless of the odds or the circumstance, a mighty spirit (represented with a tiger) is a rare thing of beauty. So metaphorically speaking even if the tiger is consumed by the rats (representing ugly petty spirits), it does not change what it is or was. It was and is a tribute to those who have the dicipline and fortitude, even under the worst of circumstances, to be a good individual.

My first +8.
Beautiful and moving. I feel especially close to this as Tiger ,Here in India ,is our National Animal and doesn't quite get the respect and Honour it deserves....That Tiger bones medicines and stuff... But i love the mood captured here.

You're brilliant with your skills as well!
