Drawn in 1998. Early in 1998, I had intended to draw every single person I met in real life! It wasn't long before I just met too many people too quickly, and the list of furry fans I met in person was 50, 75, 100 people long, That, and I recall having so many other ideas, requests, and commissions to work on, and I felt completely overwhelmed. It was killing me!

This was really the main reason why I stopped taking free requests, and have never taken them since. I felt that putting out a good drawing takes a lot of effort, and I wanted the ability to turn people down. These days, I feel I have even less time.
