I drew Bob as a demon monkey boy because I'm tired of being a jerk to myself about the things I like.

I like scruffy dinguses who are terrifyingly perceptive and resilient when they have to be. Big bonus if they come with a portal to a dangerous healing cavern lodged in the empty hole where their heart should be. Full points if they're oath-bound to a powerful lunatic they hate.

Don't get me started on how invested I get when the lunatic and the dingus have big dumb gay crushes on the same oblivious and unattainable idiot...and the author of the story plainly ships that idiot with someone else entirely.

I missed ringing in a new year with a drawing SO MUCH. I stopped doing that in 2014, and it was a mistake.

(Reference to Iwao from Ake no Tobari is intentional. Ake no Tobari is written and drawn by Momo Chidori. You can find the comic in various translations, but I read it here. ...I should probably hit up the helpdesk and request a series tag at this point.)
