ARIEL - A LONE SABERTOOTH TIGER

I got an inspiration from a sabertooth tiger of a movie called "10,000 BC" and thought of making a human version of it (like spiderman, ant-man, batman, and so on,...).
My initial intention was to make the common reddish-orange furred predator. However, the result didn't come out as well as I expected, and it seemed quite old in terms of designing tiger models to have it wear the same colour tones over again. Therefore, I decided to make a move to a relatively rare skin tone tiger with white skin dark stripes and blue eyes, which did surprisingly look more appealing to me.
Hope you like it....
