Avarice Update (Patreon)

I've recently learned that the man behind Avarice Panthera Leo passed away in late March. I didn't know him well, but he was a fan of my work. I was one of the last people he commissioned, and he was really excited to see the finished result.
He told me what he'd prefer and how his character should be treated. It gets pretty dark, but it has a bittersweet ending. I'm not really sure what to do now.
Avarice is a character, and he paid me, so I guess it would be right for me to go ahead and finish it. What do you guys think?
