Master Tigress watches in amusement, snorting softly as her snow leopard fan does his best to strike a kung fu pose. "Nice skills," she chuckles warmly, both of them knowing that the feline posesses no such thing. He giggles and smiles, delighted as the master smiles back.

Kung Fu Panda, and specifically Master Tigress, is the film that lead me to the Furry Fandom. I'd never taken such an interest in an anthropomorphic character until this point. I'm not embarassed to admit I had a total crush on Tigress. I went to see the film in cinema five times, if memory serves, just to admire her.

Anyway, I won't gush on, suffice to say that her character means a lot to me. So I was at Armageddon expo in Melbourne, 2013, and one of the special guests was Kari Wahlberg, who is a very talented and very prolific voice actor for tv shows and video games. And one of the characters she voices is, you guessed it, Tigress on the TV series of KFP. So I couldn't resist getting this sketch drawn especially for her to sign. Gonna frame it and everything. And if Angelina Jolie ever comes to Melbourne, perhaps I'll get her to sign as well, fingers crossed! :3
