*"Penwork" hurts eyes - deleted*
Long pose from Henry's workshop. Made the leg a little too dark :( And got a nice FLARE there. Whatever. Too lazy to fix it.

A more "finished" piece:

Finally, I'll leave you with this "proverb" that I loved and wrote down from a game I was playing. For the longest time I thought I lost it, but found it just recently. To avoid this from happening again and to share it with you all, I'm saving it online.
嫌なことから目をそらさず、
何でも正面から受け止めろ。
Ken's translation: Don't avoid something because it's unpleasant; rather, face it head on.
