MR. TAWKY TAWNY

WB Animation, DC SHOWCASE: SUPERMAN/SHAZAM!: THE RETURN OF BLACK ADAM, Mr. Tawky Tawny. Pencil, Photoshop color.

I may add my own finishes to this piece later. But this was the design I submitted for the animated short directed by Joachim Dos Santos. I'm pretty happy with how Tawny appears on the screen, both as a human, and as a ferocious feline. As presented here, I submitted two expressions for the tiger form.

*To keep with the magical theme of the characters surrounding Captain Marvel, and the wizard, Shazam, I rendered Tawny's tiger stripes in shapes patterned after lightning bolts. This may be a detail lost to all but the most attentive viewers. But I thought it would be cool to include.
