老虎圖像探討與造形創作——以漫畫角色「虎姑婆」造形為例

Discussion and Creation of Tiger Images - Taking the Comic Character ''Aunt Tigress'' as an Example

「虎姑婆」在台灣童話故事中，老虎吃人尤其愛吃小孩的形象根深蒂固，用以告誡孩童晚上不睡覺，會有虎姑婆出來巡視，後來也有許多創本研究都會拿「虎姑婆」的題材作為創作的故事基礎及創作題材故事的延伸。老虎在古代童話故事中雖然扮演恐怖險惡的角色，但是民間卻常會拿老虎的造形來做為消災避邪的形象，如廟宇中的「虎爺」成為民間膜拜的神明。現在的漫畫與動畫中，老虎扮演著可愛正義的角色，跟小朋友們一起成長。「老虎」在創作上可塑性很高，可以很邪惡（如虎姑婆）、可以很正義（如虎爺）、也可以很可愛（如石虎、巧虎、跳跳虎），因此本研究透過老虎圖像進行探討分析，包含老虎圖像的色彩分析、老虎圖像的造形分析、老虎圖像的性格分析等。本研究並以漫畫角色「虎姑婆」造形進行一系列之公仔造形創作，包含手工羊毛氈創作「虎姑婆」造形，並繪製「虎姑婆」造形圖稿，使用馬雅（Maya）3D建模軟體進行「虎姑婆」造形建模，並以3D列印創作「虎姑婆」造形。

In Taiwanese fairy tales of ''Aunt Tigress'', the impression that tigers eat people, especially children is deeply rooted. ''Aunt Tigress'' is used to warn children that there will be aunt tigress out to patrol for children who not to sleep at night. Later, many creators use the theme of ''Aunt Tigress'' as story foundation and the extension of the theme story creation. Although the tiger plays a scary and sinister role in ancient fairy tales, the folks often use the tiger image to eliminate disasters and avoid evil, such as the ''Tiger Lord'' in the temple, which becomes a god worshipped by the people. In the current comics and animations, the tiger plays a cute and righteous role and grows up with the children. ''Tiger'' is highly flexible in creation, which can be very evil (like Aunt Tigress), and can be very righteous (like Tiger Lord), it can also be very cute (such as Stone Tiger, Qiaohu, Tigger), this study used tiger image for discussion and analysis, including color analysis, shape analysis, and personality analysis of tiger image. In this study, a series of action figure creations were made with the comic character ''Aunt Tigress'', including the hand-made creation of ''Aunt Tigress'' with wool felt, drawing the ''Aunt Tigress'' figure, modeling the ''Aunt Tigress'' image by Maya 3D modeling software, and creating the ''Aunt Tigress'' shape with 3D printing.
