This was a lot of fun to play with and a lot of story to hide into the painting, from the weapon choice to the blood whisky. I wish I could have done it a better justice, but I learned a lot in the process and the one person who needed to like it seems to do so; I think I can archive this, content.
Painted sometime between 2020 and 21, I... honestly don't remember the exact details from back then. Time was more of a very vague suggestion. I recently had a reason to touch it up a bit (read: I bought a new screen, set contrast to normal levels and was mortified how some of the darker parts of the image looked) and was given the kind permission to share.
It's always great to work with characters you already enjoy. Makes a lot of things much easier.
