You quite clearly state that \'you came up with it\'.
You also did not correct anyone who praised \'your\' design. A simple \"Why thank-you, but the bulk of the credit goes to this very tallented artist! whom I was inspired by!\"
Even with the slight modifications you\'ve done to it, it is quite obviously recognizable as the Tigon.
You put in a lot of work on it, and that is worth respect, but when you are clearly using someone elses work, just say that you are. It doesn\'t detract from it.
