About this design

What the design shows

The tiger looks straight out from a compact, symmetrical head. Orange fur is split by heavy black stripes over the forehead, around the eyes, and down both cheeks. Cream fur forms the brows, muzzle, lower jaw, and pointed chin, while deep teal strokes sit behind the whisker pads and along the outer mane. Narrow yellow eyes angle inward above a pink-red nose. The mouth is fully open: a dark red tongue fills the center and four long ivory fangs frame a row of smaller teeth. Fine black whiskers extend horizontally beyond the pale dotted muzzle. Both ears show pink interiors edged in orange and black. The whole illustration uses flat neo-traditional color held by a firm black contour, with no leaves or background. In the body image, it sits at the upper center of the chest, about palm-sized, with the chin ending above the sternum.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview positions the face between the collarbones, keeping the eyes level and the muzzle over the upper sternum. A palm-wide chest placement lets both sets of whiskers clear the pectoral curve. The same front-facing shape can sit on the upper back, outer thigh, shoulder blade, or broad calf. It needs enough width for the eyes, teeth, and whiskers to remain separate. On a smaller placement, retain the eye shape and fangs, then reduce the small teeth and whisker dots first.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

Because it is a dense head with a blunt circular outline, this carries strong visual weight in a color-flash collection. It works well as the center of a chest grouping or as a standalone emblem on a leg. Put slimmer pieces such as a dagger, torch, or small stars above or below rather than pressed against the whiskers. Roses can frame the lower corners if their dark outlines do not touch the chin. Leave a visible skin gap around each ear and whisker end so the silhouette does not become a dark block.
