Phenom, so far.

Actually, you are confusing the markings of the Indian Blue/Black tiger with the markings of the Indian Black/blue tiger.  (The Black/Blue tiger which has the vertical stripes has been hunted to the point of extinction because of its less effective camouflage while the Blue/Black tiger, with its vertical stripes, is actually quite abundant in the wild* because of its more effective horizontal stripes.)

*The Blue/Black's horizontal stripes are so effective that it is only seen rarely and has never been successfully hunted.

Now your ignorance is truly showing through. It is a common misconception that the Indian Black/Blue Tiger has been hunted to extinction. This is a fallacy as they simply blend so well with their surroundings in the Black/Blue marshes of Punjab that none have been sighted in years. However, either way, you have conceded the fact that horizontally striped Black/Blue tigers existed, making this an accurate portrayal of natures beautiful design, therefore I win.

Actually, based on your last sentence, I win.  I never said that horizontally striped tigers didn't exist.  I argued that horizontal stripes were more effective than vertical stripes.  Changing you position to support horizontal striping is akin to throwing in the towel and conceding defeat.  Victory is mine!

I did a paint scheme not too long ago on a piece and used blue and black to make tigerstripe.  But I also used silver as a third color.  The combination was outstanding.  I wish I still had that piece to show.

But, as is, I think your paintjob is nice.  But you should consider adding a third color.  Here's a tip:  Try it on a sheet of paper first to see if you like the combo.  That way, you won't scramble your marker.

Your statement implies that vertical strips are incorrect, indicating your non-belief of their existence in nature. I have proved you wrong, please accept your shameful defeat with grace. All you college kids think you're so smart. Your logic is as faulty as your preference for vertical stripes. Indicating a preference for vertical stripes* (as in my quote above) does not indicate a disbelief in the existence of the significantly inferior horizontal stripes; it merely shows an understandable preference for the superior striping. *Better camouflage and they provide a "slimming" effect!

Your fail is epic. Your lack of concept regarding inference is an even more epicer fail. We all know what you meant. Your judgement is clouded by your love of the horizontal stripe. One might as well refer to you as a hor-lover.
