About The Art
Color study & variations
Inspired by variations of tattoo flash (pre-drawn illustrations), The Tigerbob tiger design has 13 signature themes, or color palettes, which dictate the mood and character of each type of Tigerbob.Gossamer’s execution is inspired by medieval European and Asian art, particularly work that makes use of atmospheric perspective with flora and fauna like Korean minhwa, Japanese folding screens, Chinese handscrolls, and French Aubusson tapestries.
Tigerbob’s Origin
Tigerbob is an otherworldly creature who resides in the Elysian Garden alongside other unnatural beasts and nature spirits. A respected beast spirit of the garden, Tigerbob was one singular creature until an event caused it to be split into thirteen different equal dimensions and one thousand pieces. Today, these thirteen Tigerbob breeds live on thirteen mountain peaks in the Elysian Garden.
Following a rich story arc of characters and world building since Gossamer’s teenage years, Tigerbob joins the pantheon of beasts from the Gossamer Rozen universe. These stories were shaped by Gossamer’s childhood, organized religion, folklore, and identity through artistic expression.
