Some time ago  rika posted a journal for commissions out of desperation for funds, while on her way to move in with her boyfriend  noctome-wulf. I had inquired about a commission before this occurred and was going to cancel due to all the art donated to me from  asria's auction, but when this came up, the cost of what I had asked for previously but had not yet paid covered what she needed. She was so happy when I did that, that when she hit a couple snags again, including difficulty from Ike, I offered more funds, and for lack of other ideas, I asked for this hug piece, something that would express such sheer elation. I couldn't be happier with the results, something that serves as a reminder of another person's appreciation of my help. I was also surprised she drew it without clothes X3...and what's even better is that she frequents a local mall, so she will be delivering the commissions to me in person!
