Virtual Tiger Puppet
Description
The tiger is the largest member of the cat family and is known for its striped coat, strength, and powerful build. Tigers have also appeared in stories and traditions across Asia, where they are sometimes connected with courage, protection, and spiritual power.
In The Archer’s Journey, the tiger appears in the second arc as the spiritual familiar of the great archer Dronacharya..
Its design was inspired by Chinese lion dance costumes and Indonesian shadow puppets, especially their bold shapes, strong silhouettes, and exaggerated movement. These influences helped shape the tiger’s appearance and the way it moves as a puppet.
Here, you can test the virtual tiger puppet and explore its different movements and features.
