Whoops!

Heyo folks, here's the finished Thank-You for the amazing Joshua, who wanted to depict the moment his characters Bruce and Alexander met each other and started their interesting relationship! :D

I think Alex wanted to “accidentally” show off his padding in order to get that part of the relationship out of the way immediately, and decided to go for the classic “Oh no I stumbled/slipped!”-approach ^^
Unfortunately for him, Bruce doesn't seem to be buying it, at all. Or maybe, fortunately?

I wanted to use the “romantic” atmosphere as an excuse to go for a winter-y scene, in contrast to the warmth of the cozy interior. The heat is rising here now, so this was definitely a welcome opportunity to think of slightly more bearable temperatures xP

Sadly, this piece also comes with some bad news.

Joshua has been dealing with some very unfair circumstances himself, and now won't be able to stick to his usual tier as a direct result of that, probably for a while.
Not only is this a massive blow financially, but also a terrible one emotionally.
I have never encountered anyone as generous and kind as Joshua, and the fact that he's now forced to deal with some ridiculous bullcrap like that is confusing and sad to me, and I wish I was in a position to help him. But, as per usual, I remain helpless.
All I can do is wish him all the best, because he truly deserves it.

Please send some energy his way guys, because without him I wouldn't even be around anymore.

Thank you for your absolutely incredible support up to this point, Joshua. Words can not describe the amount of gratitude I feel.
I hope you'll be able to resolve all your issues swiftly and without much drama, and I'd love to have you back on here very soon. Thank you <3

Ironically, to end on a more positive note, we actually did manage to stay at 50 patrons since last month, which means I'll gladly fire off another celebratory Keyword-Scramble soon as always! Think of some fun keywords, and keep your eyes open!
I'll announce it within the next 24-ish hours, once I've gotten some work out of the way tomorrow.

Stay safe people, and massive thanks to each and every one of you, seriously <3 <3 <3
