Hey guys! 🌸 I’ve got something important to share today.
In just a month it’ll be my Birthday 🎂✨ And this also happened on my Birthday a couple of years ago.

So… lately I’ve been saying more and more often that I don’t really feel connected to my character Tigra anymore. And, well… sadly (or maybe not so sadly?) it’s true 😓 Tigra was my alter ego, my symbol, my “inner self” for over 10 years. But time has passed, and I’ve changed a lot… and I don’t see myself in her anymore. Or her in me (ba dum tss!).

It feels like trying to squeeze into an old dress that doesn’t fit, and pretending to be someone I’m not. The stripes, the lightness, the carefree vibe — they’re gone. And honestly, I don’t want to “grow her up” together with me. Tigra will always be a symbol of that chapter of my life — bright, dynamic, creative, adventurous. But that chapter is closed. Those feelings, memories, friendships — they’ll stay with her. They ARE her. Inseparable.

And me? It’s time to move on. In a new skin. 🐂☕️

So… meet Johnny G! Yes, a cow. A PREDATORY cow. A coffee-flavored predatory cow 😏🍖☕️🐂
Right now it’s just a sketch, a first try. I’m still feeling it out, seeing if the connection grows. You might have already noticed my FA nick and signature changed.

Of course, I know sooo many people (seriously, almost everyone!) even outside the fandom know me as “Tigra”. And it would be silly to expect everyone to instantly switch and accept a new image. People don’t like change. But I hope, in time, you’ll accept Johnny — and love her, and enjoy drawing her just as much as Tigra.

And don’t worry, Tigra is still around as a kind of mascot! 🐯 You can draw her too, if you’d like. Every piece of art of my characters makes me so happy, like a little celebration 🎉

So yeah… one era is over. But a new one begins✨ The story goes on. And I’ll do my best to protect my world 🙏🏻
