I know you guys don't really read the description, but I'll say it anyway, this is was a creative freedom picture by the very talented  CatMonkShiro.

When training to learn feline martial arts, I never realized you actually HAD to be a feline to learn them!

There is a bit of a story to this one, I approached Shiro about a creative freedom 2 character. The catch? We had been friends for some time and I really wanted to know a situation that he, as a friend would want to see me in. So the night of my slot he asked one last time if we were still going ahead with this, and when I concurred he immediately jumped into this piece, which might I add, came out fantastic.

Afterwords we had a chance to talk to him for a while on Discord, and I asked what prompted his choice. What he said kinda stuck with me a little. Based off the way me and him talk in addition to me and his room mate chatting a lot about air planes and flying that I struck him as genuine, and a seeker of knowledge, and that this was, in a way, him sharing his knowledge with me. It bought a bit of a smile to my face to know that I was regarded in such a way.

I'm thankful to not only Shiro, but to all my friends who have been there to help lift me up when I am down. Thank you all!
