A picture I'm very happy with, with a bit of a sentimental story behind it! All you really need to know is this is to commemorate the support of my dear friend @thornandshield the past year.

A year ago I was very unfortunate for a month or two to be without my computer, my main creative outlet, and without a way to properly spend time with my friends outside of messages. The worst of it was being entirely on my own for several weeks.

During that time, I started watching the streams of my new friend to help me soldier through the boredom. Hearing the voices and seeing the fun of people I cared about made the isolation bearable.

Unable to use my tablet or draw anything digitally anymore, I went back to my roots and whipped out the old pen and paper, including a sort of collage image of a few of my friend's characters.

Today is their beloved character Novus's birthday. I wanted to commemorate it with something special by redrawing that original image and updating it with a few newer faces.

Thank you for being a great friend to me this past year, and enjoy your boy's birthday!
