It's admittedly been a struggle to make art lately. For obvious reasons, my creative energy has been sapped. However, I know that it will come back, even if it will be painful at first to revisit certain topics and characters that I love.
There's a lot that I could still say about Kyle and what he meant to my life, but I feel like filling this space with my words and memories here feels somehow wrong. It's my hope that this picture conveys plenty.
Kyle's characters still exist and I will work with them again. It's my hope that I will continue to do them justice.
This picture is pretty personal. There's a story behind it connected to the RPs that Kyle and I did for so many years, and he asked me to draw this scene a few times. This Inktober, the theme 'Buddies' was thrown at me for one of the later days, shortly after Kyle went into the hospital for the last time, and I drew this for us. I actually bought some pens this year to practice inking physically for the first time, so this is also my first ever attempt to color a physically inked piece of mine. I wish that it could have been for a less somber occasion.
I love you, my friend.

I remember browsing that old website, the cute stories, the early introduction to the fandom. I never knew Kyle, never had the opportunity to. You carrying on with the cuteness and those characters is a beautiful gesture. I'll at least never stop hugging you. Be well however hard it may seem right now.
This is a very touching picture, thank you for making this.
I can't even being to imagine how you must feel, I am so so sorry for your loss.
Your creative energy will come back, don't push it if you can't at this moment, I'm certain you'll do great things that will make Kyle proud.
I don't know what else to say. Hugs and take care.

Thank you. It's indeed difficult to know what to say at times like this, and difficult to even know what to do. I have started to finally slowly open up my creative mind and draw again here and there. Some things are still very tough to approach, but I know that I'll eventually get there again.
It was always my desire to make Kyle proud and make him smile, and it still is.

The day you posted this I couldn't stop thinking about you and his family and you both are still in my thoughts.
And of course you will continue to do Kyle's characters justice. Everything may have changed too much but, as a quote I saw in a music video of Mike Posner says, beginnings hide themselves in ends.

You were there and I can only imagine the horror you had to witness, but I'm sure Kyle felt privileged for enjoying your love and loyalty.
Take care of his parents and siblings (if he had) and it will help you to move forward and find happiness. There will be moments when you think you cannot overcome the loss and even you'll think you don't deserve inner peace but the truth is you can do it and deserve it.
