Back in like MFM '04 or '05 TigerPaw commissioned me to draw him a tiger. He didn't say what, just asked for a tiger. Back then, I sucked at tigers and didn't know how stripes worked or anything else. I'm still learning to this day, but because of him commissioning me back then to do something I wasn't used to, I feel I'm far better off now than I was. And that commission was the best tiger I had ever drawn.

Fast forward to MFM '07 and TigerPaw asks me once again to draw him a tiger. Nothing specific. He simply requested that I "let inspiration decide." And this is what popped out.

I did quite a few commissions at the con, but I think this one is my favorite. It's so weird and fun, and while some things are a bit off here and there, the perspective is something I'm happy with. Now if I can just get ahold of TigerPaw to give it back to him...
