This is a painting commission that I finished a couple days ago. It's a portrait purchased by a group of deviants for their friend's birthday! They asked me to post this now, as it is actually her birthday today (September 16th), so happy birthday to loknnica!

Here is the special message I was asked to relay:

To our beloved friend, loknnica
The kindest ,but when needed the toughest, person we know. We commissioned this portrait of you, just as a small note to you to show you that we love you and to express our gratitude to you for managing our amazing society and for giving the chance to people who wanted it. Stay the way you are.

Happy 18th birthday!
Love,
, , , ,
and the rest of the staff from
