I'm going to say this now, don't attack me and be all like OMG!!! MARY-SUE!!!! or... "OMG!!! LEE IS MINE!!!!1!!!1! I made this picture for a reason. Last month, while living in my new appartment, my mother calls up and tells me our neighbor was found dead, of natural causes. I felt COMPLETELY lost, even though it wasn't my first experience of death. Maybe that added to the breakdown I had later. Two of my best friends were online, and I remember saying to them 'Too bad Rock Lee can't solve ALL my life problems', as the character has been a huge inspiration to me, and has significantly changed my views on life. They told me that maybe he could. Look for comfort in him, as if he were real. I thoguht they were crazy at first, but after I started sketching, honestly, this drawn hug felt real enough to me at the time, and I freaking needed a hug.
