"Your heart is like a fortress
You keep your feelings locked away
Is it easier?
Does is make you feel safe?

Wonder through the darkness
A wilderness behind your eyes
I know you're afraid
But you gotta move one

Every fortress falls
It is not the end
It ain't if you fall
But how you rise that says
Who you really are
So get up and go through
If ever your fortress caves
You're always safe in mine"

-- Fortress, Queens of The Stone Age

All credit goes to the terrifyingly gifted  Fragore How he's capable of working through his chronic depression to make this is a testament of his own willpower. Something I both sympathize and admire.

I just wish he starts a Patreon, so I can bank-roll more of his artwork... and prove that so many people on FA do care about him. Especially me.

Funny story while he was making this: at the phase of drawing Joinaphin's hairstyle (something he claims to be bad at, which is nowhere near true imho) I tried to describe it in confusing way, he just said "find me a pic for clear reference". one of my first contender of refpic was Javier Bardem's character from No Country For Old Men, since his unflattering 70s bowl-cut would fit my ape's unflattering and borderline insane personality, too. When Fragore came back with what I could only describe as a "Karen will speak to your Manager" bob-cut with a chunky fringe covering half the face. We both died laughing for a bit. Then he asked "how about about your real-life haircut, since he's essentially your alter-ego, and you want him to reflect your real self as much as possible". Reluctant to send a pic of myself, I got lucky and found a pic of a Swedish anon with a long flowing ponytail past their belt-line, which, apart from nearly a meter in length difference, was identical to mine.

I'm impressed and grateful that he's realized Jonaphin to the point of this becoming the uncontestable reference for future headshots... if only i could prove it to him.
