I blew up the loose sketch from yesterday, then drew it a bit tighter on the light table. The Tiger and Octopus were drawn on separate pieces of paper and put together in photoshop. It’s still not quite there, a lot of details are missing, but I’ll get to those tomorrow. 
By the way, the BEASTS vol. 2 book is available in stores now. My Yuki-Onna piece is featured within.
I’ve been told the first printing has already sold out, and the 2nd printing is on the way. I finally got my copy the other day and I have to say it’s a really beautiful and fun book. Be sure to check it out.
Thanks!

Add Yours →I would like to know if there has ever been a time where a tiger has fought an octopus?
If not, why not?
Let’s stop wasting our time on Survivor type shows for humans and set this up! Come on! I think the tiger would win, so we are only going to lose one octopus, and last time I checked we have heaps of those.
Don’t be so hasty! the octopus still has many tools at its disposal.
Besides, I think your suggestion is illegal.

dude come on, if a tiger was like underwater with an octopus at equal size the tiger would totally lose.
p.s. cant wait to see the finish frank!
very cool to see your daily process for these.
I'm really enjoying the tiger process piece. I love the construction in his forehead/muzzle area. GOOD JOB!
Another thing I've been wondering about for some time now is that grid you use. How & why do you use it?

It’s pretty daring to cover ground as well-traveled in the illustration world as tigers and octopod. Right up there with antlers! Good on you for being the one to combine them.
