Glad I went digging into my old random art folders recently, or I would've missed this classic sketch from my short-lived 'JTigerlady' stage in 2006.

It's some inside joke from Comic Genesis forums about a pie, which I don't remember the origins of. But I do remember now why I got that random as hell badge at FWA one year of JT screaming "DON'T TOUCH MY PIE" and snarling while eating a pie... that was hella subconscious bc the idea seemed so random but funny at the time. X3

So yeah, the gender swap pic made such an impression on me that I wanted to be a pie loving tiger girl for a little while. And yet I didn't think much of it for at least 6 years... when I ended up creating a new alternate female fursona... a sabertooth tiger girl with a spritz of lynx.

Maybe this experience played a part in that? Maybe a part of me remembered how I felt and wanted to explore it further? Seems fairly reasonable to me. ^^

(No Vorticus, you cannot have my pie. It is my pie. Get your own. Grrrrrrr....)
