i had some time to create something so here it is…i hope everybody here loves tigers as much as i do…
heres what i did…first find a image and either take a picture of it… or scan it… next send it to photoshop to bring out the black and white…
now you have a alpha channel of your image… save that… and cont.with your image… paint your tiger and ship it off to zbrush…once in zbrush i choose 3d plane and applied the alpha to it…next youll what to load the texture to it… finally i baked my layer and began adding the fur with the fiber brush…thats it… hope you enjoy this one… 
That worked out great Doc.

Beautiful Doc, his coloring is especially vivid.
That is just gorgeous 
Extremely well done, which comes at no suprize from you
Great image Dr. It is nice to see you painting, you should do more of this type of image. I do like it.
I’ve used this technique as well Doc, but not like this…Way to go ZBud! I think this is a wonderful and stylish painting, with a really good feel to it!
Tigers RRRRRRRRR in my top ten !!! 
Great image bud.
