Just one more thing you gotta do... [Early access] (Patreon)

I am SO happy to have this piece FINALLY done with! I was so worried its fate was to always be this almost-done piece that would forever tease me over how almost-done it is because I had lost the original file! But through some jury rigging and some luck, it's complete- so is the bulk of the old tablet's legacy.

The reason why it means so much to me is because of all the work that I lost on the old tablet, some of it I could write off as no big loss. But there were some pieces that losing the originals really, REALLY bugged me. Since then, I've actually recovered or resolved most of the major ones, and this is the last one. There's only really one more piece of artwork from the old tablet that I really cared about, and it's in a much better state to be recovered than this one was! So really, in the end, all I was really out was the $1,200 to replace the equipment! Which, yeah, was a pretty big chunk of money for me, but with the completion of this piece, the value of the artwork that I lost on it is now a big step closer to being negligible. It's closure for me. =)

And, of course, I really hope you like it! No alternate versions for this one besides the text, alas. I did plan on doing an experiment with it to try out something I've never done in a pic before which would've resulted in a different version, but experimentation is often the leading cause of delays on releasing a pic, and right now, I want to get this one to you ASAP. I can experiment later and present it to you if it's successful.

As for the text, well, I just couldn't decide between two things for him to be saying, and since there aren't going to be any other alts, figured what the hell. ^^;
