Surprise, dude, I was your Santa this whole time!

I know this is uber long overdue, as much as I appreciate your patience I feel terrible about certain things making this take so long. At one point I made the decision to redo it to give you the best work possible, cause you're an awesome friend and I wanted to do that justice.

I've never played Kingdom Hearts, but I love Axel. I saw him on your list and thought, I have to do this!

While I was working on it, the news about the Opportunity rover broke, and I saw a gorgeous edit someone made with this quote:

"Though my soul will set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night"

It resonated with me, and with some of the stuff I've heard Axel goes through. And perhaps it will resonate with you, too.

I hope it gives you hope, though.

Thanks for being a great friend. Lemme know if you'd like another piece as well, since you had to wait so long for this.

Oh, also, it was India ink with colored pencil detail!
