This is the very first artwork I ever got done of me as a furry. Just a random email to Jamie Patrick Sutherland on VCL. I liked his art, a lot, so... I asked. And got.
This was delivered August 21st, 2000. I was 7 days shy of being 15, and my character was Bengaley, a white tiger (Scifi settings: Tyger), and was usually a fighter pilot in a StarFox setting (HI icefox).
Just randomly was derping around with a friend who just got his first commission, and made me remember to look this up :3
