"Tiger Horse" by Lynn A. Davis

The bends in the legs are correct for both horse and tiger, it's just that you don't see the upper first bend ("knee") because it is carried close to the body and sheathed in muscle as a unit.

Also, tiger striped horses exist - zebroids or zorses are horse/zebra hybrids. Also, some mustangs and some other breeds carry the original primitive coat color characteristics that show up as tiger stripes on the neck, over the shoulders like a donkey's cross, and on the legs as bracelets. Generally, the sides are not striped. A Zebroid or zorse is a bit of a tossup, usually quite striped, but if you had the money and time to do it you could keep on breeding orangish horses to zebras and hope!

Extend the hocks (lower legs). They should come up higher. Make the hips heavier and bend the butt up higher - give the lower body some weight and muscle too it - it's too flimsy here to carry the upper body. Also, both tiger's and horse's genitals are sheathed, like pretty much all mammals except for people. He wouldn't be built like that unless he's a tiger/horse/human which he is! Also, the underlying skin tone for most tigers (unless albino) is black, including under white fur. And tigers have a stomach ruff which protects their undersides, but looks like you are going with horse coat type length anyway. But he'd be kind of unhappy if he really did have tiger striped fur down there - maybe grey skin with black stripes would be more realistic, if slightly more explicit (but more natural and therefore less offensive to the delicate of mind, yes?)

I don't like getting knit picky on art... Because, well.. It's just that, it's art. Take it or leave it, it's the artist's interpretation. And, in my opinion, this is actually quite good. I like how his face isn't exactly stricly equestrian, but has some feline features in there. Very cool. But, I've gotta say this in response to the above commenter who said you could bred "orangish horses to zebras and hope". No, it doesn't work that way. Horses and zebras have a different chromosome number, making their offspring steril. Nice thought though... And, striped horses are called brindles. They're quite rare, and normally only show stripes on their shoulder, legs and faces.

Ha its thingy is striped too!

Well, I love the picture. It's very creative. But if you guys want to get techinal with brindle horses, my sister found one she absoultly adores with clear stripes on its sides and whatnot. Here's the link, now end of disscussion and lets all admire the Tiger Horsey .

Oh, and Tiger Horse is a real breed, only its spotted and not striped. Fancy that, huh? Here's its link as well.

Once again, love the picture!!!

Dunno if anyone has said this, but there actually are a such thing as "Tiger Horses", they are a mix breed between horses and zebras. (They are actually called Zorses, but I hate that name so much.)

Wicked pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like it

very good and as for his bits, it should be a sheath, even humans have one, albeit modified, its called foreskin
