Made April 24, 2013 with MS Paint.
Wade is one of my buddies, and I always truly have cared for him, yet somehow we just don’t see each other a lot. So we have a distant friendship, and while that’s tough, there is nothing negative about him in my eyes. He is a wonderful Orca and a great friend; he even makes for a wonderful Predator. I’m grateful for all the times he has wanted me inside his stomach. We do not have a lot of art together and I had made the decision to change that, Wade had been feeling down and I wanted to show him of all the friends who liked him. I remember I was streaming the creation of this drawing, and I had the whim idea of including the sonas of all the friends who were present in the stream.
Now this picture holds a lot of significance to me, I was sitting in my bed drawing this up thinking about the close friendships I had with each of the guys present in this drawing; when I learned that a very close friend and former classmate of mine had passed away, losing his battle with a very rare and aggressive Cancer. He was only 18.
I remember all of that moment so clearly, I told everyone in the stream I had to go, and then I just sat there in silence, going over the very last time I ever saw him alive. It had been emotional and completely clear there was going to be no recovering; he was almost no longer himself, just a shade of who he used to be and I had accepted that he was going to die, though the actual confirmation that he was gone was a lot bigger a feeling than I had expected. Somehow I put my emotions aside because I wanted to get this drawing done because I knew that I would forever think of my friend every time I looked at it, and it had to be complete. So I finished it, alone.
I kept the final image to myself though, and finally feel like I am able to share it with you guys. It’s been 10 years, and I still think about and miss my friend. He was a great guy with so much potential and skill, his loss was very shattering.

The friendo tribute is a nice idea and it looks good, that version of my sona is from 2011 and I recognize some of those names.
Crazy how time flies and the changes we go through! Thanks for being part of it back then and still being around now
Awwwwwwwe~ ;o
I always find this passing of time so interestingly terrifying but also nostalgic. I didn't share this time with you, but I've definitely felt it, seeing and experiencing my own childhood in unique ways and reflecting upon it.
Sorry for your loss though, I imagine that was not only saddening and depressing, but also terrifying, giving a perspective on mortality that you weren't ready for ;o
I'm hoping you're doing better now, dude :D but I'd totally reflect upon things like this myself, if I were you, they're very important moments to cherish

That is a really sweet picture for all of your friends, they surely are lucky to have such a sweet friend as you do, even if some of them are no longer on Furaffinity. Hope they will see it.
Oh yes we have kept in touch in other ways. Thanks for the comment
