Decided it was time for another terrarium zoo painting~ my little goat in a terrarium from last year has been a popular print. 
Now he's got a companion.

Overall
Vision Originality Technique ImpactIt reminds me of japanese Ukiyo-e (woodblock painting). The technique differs a bit but the composition and color palette is very similar. I love the originallity of this drawing and the execution of it. Colorwise, what gets me the most are the color corrections - you had in mind that red object behind green glass have slightly different color. It's a small but important thing.
When it comes to the general thoughts, this drawings takes that huge environment tigers need and compacts it to the small glass terrarium. I would love to see somebody make a maquette out of this. Imagine that as a part of some kind of eco happening, it could impact both adults and the children. Good job on making such an inspiring thing!
Wow, thank you so much for such a thought-out and poetic review! Any comparison to Ukiyo-e is a huge compliment so thank you for sharing your comparison. I didn't know if anyone was going to point out that I tried to subtly change the colors of what is inside and outside the glass. It tends to create more of an atmosphere, like you said, and I'm so glad you pointed that out.
Seeing a maquette would be absolutely amazing! The zoo terrariums always reminded me of a concept that could have been in Harry Potter- something that could exist in a magical world. They did have miniature dragons after all.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts- I so appreciate hearing someone interpret this concept. It was such a lovely surprise
