There is no Shyft, only
What I appreciate about this image, more than the scale thing, is the way you've given him somewhat more human-like features than IRL tigers. As a result of that, you've distinctly given him an air of intelligence, because the traces of anthropoid in the tiger means we project onto him and ascribe intellect to that gaze.

What specific human features? Legit curious.
So, if you look at his facial proportions compared to an actual tiger, you made his head broader (and so he's rounder-faced and less predatory-looking), his eyes wider apart (matching human eye placement more), and because the mouth is closed it takes on more the resemblance of a human smile rather than the "teeth bared" expression of a tiger which is decidedly less human-like.
And of course, since it's greyscale, the fact that tigers have rounder pupils than domestic cats (which have slit pupils) means his eyes look human, which they wouldn't if they were coloured in (because the pale iris here looks like a human white schlera).

Very, very snugly.
...huh. You know, when I saw the sketch, this was not what I was expecting it to turn into. With the original hand position, what kinda looked like slitted eyes, and the up/outthrust ears, I was expecting a catgirl. But... anelfisfinetoo.jpg

I'm meanwhile just amused that I can whiplash between Awesome Tiger and Awesome Rack and leave your heads spinning.
