Yeah, EC used to be a collection of random tigers i liked to draw back in the day, some of those go back quite a few years.

The 'hey tiger' one there, with the sunset background I think was the start of a fixed character. I was quite lonely and miserable at that time lol, so she was like a sappy sappy kind of character back then.

Finally decided on a fixed stripe pattern a while after I joined FA - though I still like to slap the stripes on at random sometimes XD what, i get lazy sometimes!
The white tip on the tail came at a later date as well, pawpads went from pink to black as well as the nose. Eye color used to vary a lot as well.

When I took on the character as 'myself' I added the infamous dogtag to her XD and well, as time went by I began to integrate more of me into her. I get told often that i look a lot like my character irl as well, right down to the facial expressions and the wild takes when i see a cup of coffee

And well, EC is what she is today, not much more to say to that ^^

I'll happily answer questions if anyone wants to know XD *laughs*

Enjoy
