To summarize Alberu's Korean arc experience thru an Isekai title:
“In another world to save my crazy dongsaeng who got kidnapped by a god and wow this bastard is a transmigrator along with his swordmaster who's secretly a grandpa which I never really expected and oh I also became a tiger monster because of some god and I am now a part-time shampoo commercial model!”
(With how much the Korean arc emphasized the Dark Tiger's lustrous and majestic mane every time he shakes it, you'd think Alberu became a shampoo commercial model in another world 🤣)
sorry for the boob jumpscare I wanted to show his scales...
I have filled this lizard with a plethora of crimes in an attempt to bring him marginally closer to how I draw him.
More muscle - ✓
Long ridged tail - ✓
More scales - ✓
Canon height fix - ✓
Corrupted Cryptid eyes - ✓
Sharp chompers - ✓
Enormous complex horns - I can dream
Might mess around with him some more in the future, but I'm pretty happy with how he looks now :)
Played around with making his scales pure white too, but I ended up sticking with tan in the end. Bonus white scales shots under the cut.
Really really liked these, but I'm so used to his tan scales that I just cannot commit to the full white even though he canonically has lighter, slightly off-white scales. Maybe this'll be an alt look or his SHB Light Corruption look idk. I'm still very fond of it. Maybe I'll bounce back and forth for eight years on it.
