A while back, my sister forced me to draw her a liger while we were on family vacation. I thought it was so gosh darn ugly that I promised to make her a new one when I got home. Months passed by without even a thought about ligers. Finally, my brother’s 25 birthday came along and he said the only thing he wanted for his birthday was a picture of a liger. When I told my sister, instead of laughing, she demanded that I make her liger picture as well. What came from the two demands were these pictures.

After these were completed, I thought I was free from liger demands until my sister’s birthday came around. The only thing she wanted for her birthday was a plush liger. Once again, I set out to create. I turned a cat pattern into a liger by adding a mane and stripes. She loved it.
