BURNING BRIGHT
date: December 28th, 2006
media: digital photos, CG, Wacom
models: Bernadette Balla, Tatiana (tiger)



For part of this image, I used a shot I took of one of the San Francisco Zoo's tigers, Tatiana. Just 4 days after I took the picture, as I was making this illustrated-photo, I read on CNN that she mauled a zookeeper! Ouch! About a year later, she escaped from her pen and killed a guy who was allegedly taunting her, and was put to sleep. R.I.P. Tatiana.
