My Brother's Tiger

So today was my birthday. It actually was a pretty rough one, since this was the first birthday since my twin brother passed away. He's two minutes older than me, but now he's twenty-four - he'll always be twenty-four - and I'm twenty-five. It's a very strange feeling. 

My family requested this piece, and it was displayed at the reception after my brother's interment on Wednesday. My parents asked for a tiger, because before my brother and I were born, we were nicknamed "The Twin Tigers." (The other animals in the piece don't actually represent any particular people; they're just there so the tiger wouldn't be too lonely.) It's the largest papercraft piece I've made so far, and in a way I'm proud of it - I just rather wish I had been able to make it for a different reason.
