The purpose and communication of this illustration is to create a unique expressive view of a tiger, to give a kind of mythical view and to make it create of feeling of more than just a normal tiger but more mythical and serene. It shows of the majesty of the tiger as more than a predator from the wild but as a beautiful animal with a tranquil gracefulness surrounding it. His work creates a whimsical touch with the curvature of the lines.
The illustrator Luqman Reza Mulyono is from Indonesia and also works from his home town.

I chose this as an excellent example of illustration because I like the way the artist captures the realism of the tiger but creates a unique surreal view with the use of colors and curved smoky lines surrounding it. It makes the tiger look as if it is forming out of smoke and materializing.
