"Tyger, Tyger" by Bridget E. Wilde

Scary. I have made a illustration to that poem myself. I heard it on discovery channel some years ago. Love your work though.

I read that poem before.... I just love it.

I knew I'd be wrong. Tigress, it's a tigress. I'm -so- sorry! Change all the 'him's' to 'her's'! Agh! What an idiot! I swear to God I read the description... But you see, I have the memory span of a flippin' goldfish...

Wooooooowww!!
Okay! First of all, in the picture, the background behind the tiger is wonderful! It's crazily simple and yet you can practically see an entire jungle leaping out at you, just from the simple suggestion of a few leaves and a darker forest underbrush. Wow.
The tiger itself is perfectly posed. It could almost be a normal tiger if it weren't for those back legs- which are fabulous, I might add. The vibrant, red-orange color of the tiger's coat is magnificent in itself, and his (I want to call it a he... I hope I'm right... ...Yeah... xx; ) stripes are so detailed and natural. If it weren't for the fact that the entire forest was green and blue, dog gonnit, he'd blend in perfectly! Maybe we should move him to a savanna or something... ...Haha, don't mind me, I'm kinda stupid.
Anywho. I love his tail and his face, and his paws. And his legs. And everything about him. Wow. Just wow.
As for the poem, I've never heard it, but your calligraphy puts me to shame! So perfect! Aggghhh! I'm so jealous. x_x;
And that border that you put around it is wonderful also.
I think the thing I like the most is the fact that the tiger, with his bright, vibrant orange coat, contrasts so beautifully with the muted shades of the forest behind him, so you don't miss a single detail of him. He's so perfectly drawn, perfectly posed, and perfectly striped.
Stripes. I love stripes. Stripes are glorious.
Anywho, off to the next picture!

I love that poem. And also... scary tiger/human morphy thing going on there.

"Did he who made the Lamb make thee?"

That poem only works when following "The Lamb"*smiles to self* I love those poems...

Your picture reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what....

tyger tyger, burning bright
in what forest of the night?
what immortal hand or eye
could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant depths or skys
burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare they aspire?
What hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, and what art
could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when the heart began to beat
what dread hand and what dread feet?

And when the stars threw down their spears
and watered heaven with their tears,
did He smile, His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tyger, Tyger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
DARE frame thy fearful symmetry?

my favorite poem. you should make a pic for the sister poem, "the lamb"
