well stress related to the events of this year as well as general problems is pretty inescapable but i wound up passing out for about ten hours so it's something i guess. not quite rested but not sleep drunk anymore so better than nothing.
as for the artist it depends on how familiar folks are with the name Rush88 on deviantart, i think the most common thing people remember them for is a set of icon sized drawing they did of the main sonic chracters and their main oc/fan character. as for now they do sonic-izations of popular characters (sailor moon, cloud strife, etc). I guess it's cool for me because I haven't found too many folks from the community from then so anytime I come across a familiar name I can't help but get excited. There's some reallly big names that have grown and are either working with sega/sonic team in comics or games or what have you and others that have moved onto different things, but regardless i just feel relived knowing they're still out there making and doing stuff
