Remember the glory days of The Lion King Fan Art Archive, when quadruped fursonas were all the rage? I do. That's where this guy came from; he was kind of meant to be a parody of how silly some people get with their designs, inspired by the Chinese zodiac—I was born (just barely) in the year of the fire tiger, so he's a tiger with a tail made of flame, just like the Firefox logo. Even the name felt like a bit of a parody at the time. Nowadays I don't think he even stands out from the crowd.
This was the first picture I ever completed on my current computer, because the old one was literally too sluggish to handle all the smudge work I used to make the fire.
