Inspiration hit me like a bolt of lightning when I made this. Which is probably why it only took me 5 days to complete because I was so into it.

I didn't draw a tiger just for the sake of drawing a tiger. The tiger itself actually represents the concept of strength and ferocity on the outside.

This represents the constant inner struggle that I go through constantly because my brain isn't wired the same as a "normal" person's brain. For example, I will never understand the social aspect of humans, nor the construct of social rules. Honesty and being *real* is looked down upon in normal circles. You are expected to be a con artist to get anywhere in life and I just can't do that.

I try my hardest not to expose myself on the outside so I put out this tough persona because I have a hard time letting anyone in emotionally. However, on the inside I'm a loose cannon of internal struggles with many things. The shaded side represents the side one does not normally see.
