Description:
A slightly earlier drawing I did before "Hypnotic Glance" of my furry self. Description below.

A six foot tall, fully felinoid, furry, white tiger. Her white fur is shaded in silver, the hairs being tipped in silver about one third of the length, while the black knot-work stripes remain solid. Her torso is vaguely homid in form, the rest of her is very feline, including her feet and long fingered paw-like hands. All four paws bear retractable glittery black claws, larger than those of a normal tiger though still deeply curved, though her hind paws have black cloven hooves where the center two toes should be, and the inner (index) toe has a large Velociraptor-like claw. All four paws are webbed up to but not including the last segment of the digits. Silky smooth pearlescent scales, edged in silver, adorn her in patches over her brow, cheekbones, sternum, collarbones, shoulder blades, forearms, sides along her ribs, hips, and shins. Down her spine and continuing half way down each tail is a row of silver tipped, iridescent scale-spines. Her markings flow over her fur and scales unobstructed and unchanged. Her ears are a bit larger and more pointed than a tiger’s, and a trio of delicate silvery horns (two curled ram-like, one double-spiraled Ki'Rin-like) adorn her brow like a crown. On her back is a pair of owl-like wings, feathered on top, yet the underside is a densely scaled membrane, with feathers only around the forward fleshy portion of the wing, and one can see the long primary feathers sticking out over the membrane from underneath. The feathers are accented in black stripes on top, which are mirrored in silver underneath. She can phase her wings in and out of existence on a whim, and her wingspan is roughly twice her height. Her eight foot long tail is three times fluffier than a normal tiger, and where a tiger only has one, she has nine of them. Her bright sapphire-violet eyes glitter with an inner fire. And her upper jaw is more beak-like, somewhere between a hawk and owl, but retaining the same general features of the tiger; a nose ridge and nostrils, whiskers and whisker pads...

Another interesting feature is her bio-luminescent markings that react to black-light, but are invisible under normal light unless otherwise present. These markings have a soft silvery glow that are usually tinted a blueish-violet, but turn an almost blood red tint when she's angry. Her black muzzle knot-stripes and white ear spots glow, as well as soft highlights accenting her three horns. The black streaks in her long silver-white hair also glow. The black tips of the long primary flight feathers of her wings hide glowing braided triskeli identical to her ear spots, but only on the top side of her primary feathers. All the other feathers just have a small glowing bit at the tip on the top side. The knot-work stripes become a glowing bladed chain design that is revealed under black-light as well. Her white fur becomes a dark smoky color with a faint shimmer of silver. Her eyes also glow the same color you see under normal light, turning blood red when angry.
