Tora - Free Anthro Tiger Visual Novel Sprite + 8 Expressions (SFW, Ren'Py ready)
A downloadable asset pack
Meet Tora, a loud, warm-hearted tiger who captains a small fishing boat in a seaside harbour town. He's free, SFW, and Ren'Py ready (tested in Ren'Py 8.5.3).
The screen above is built from the files in this download. Dialogue text is typed by the game, not baked into the art.
What's inside
- 1 standing sprite (head to mid-thigh, transparent PNG, about 1500 px tall) - waving hello, rope over his shoulder
- 8 expression portraits for Ren'Py side images: relaxed, hearty grin, roaring laugh, surprised, annoyed, embarrassed, sad, quietly listening. His ears move with his mood.
- 1 full-body design sheet (head to boots) as a reference for your own art
- 1 harbour background (early morning pier, fish-auction shed, moored boats), 1536×864 (16:9)
- Dialogue UI pieces: dialogue box, name plate, portrait frame, 3 choice-button states, quick-menu bar
- A small Ren'Py example script that sets up the sprite, side images and background (tested in Ren'Py 8.5.3)
The example script running in Ren'Py 8.5.3 with the default GUI: the side portrait changes with his mood.
Who is Tora?
32, Bengal tiger, captain of a two-person fishing boat. Big shoulders, bigger laugh, terrible at talking about feelings. At dawn he's hauling nets in a sleeveless vest and yellow fisherman's bibs, because it's hot work. He'll yell "Hey, new guy! Give me a hand!" the first time he sees you.
Consistent on purpose
Tora is drawn to one style card shared with our human and kemonomimi characters from the same town: thin plum-brown lines, flat colour with two hard shadow tones, one light source from the upper left. His stripes are a fixed design: the forehead, cheek and arm stripes match across the sprite and every portrait.
This is a test - tell us what you think
Tora is a free sample. If people like him, we'll make a full anthro cast for the same harbour town. Leave a comment:
- Would you use a full pack (several characters, 16 expressions each, outfit changes, more backgrounds)?
- Which species and body types do you want next?
- Anything that looks off? We read every comment.

Sizes
- Standing sprite: about 1500 px tall; scale it to about 700 px for a 1280×720 screen or about 1000 px for 1920×1080
- Side portraits: about 360×360, shown at 200×200 in the example
- Background: 1536×864 (16:9); the example scales it to 1280×720
Using the side images
In Ren'Py, a character defined with image="tora" shows side tora grin next to the dialogue when you write tora grin "...". The example gives the standing sprite its own tag (tora_stand) so mood changes only swap the portrait. The 8 moods are: neutral, grin, laugh, surprised, annoyed, shy, sad, soft.
