Well, I'm going to give the reasons why I was a bit melancholic and more absent than usual this week, because I've known Ayax  AyaxStudio for more than 6 months and I swear that he was the person I talked to the most in this fandom, we talked for long periods of time and he was the only person I liked to trade with, in fact we talked to each other about our projects and we supported each other, either because we speak the same language or because we understood each other's references. Well this is the last drawing I made before he retired for personal reasons that he had previously mentioned to me, so it was more like a clock that didn't stop...
Anyway, now that I didn't have those conversations like before on Discord calls, I felt somewhat affected, because I had someone to talk to while I drew and did my university work. Although I continue to do commissions, I think some felt that my pace was slower (I just finished my commissions), and the drawings I did were almost finished, but I didn't have much motivation to finish them. Well, almost everyone I've met tends to avoid conversations or has been annoying to me (not to mention that some seemed somewhat immersed in their thoughts and others were quite annoying), if it wasn't to ask me for drawings, it was to spam me on their networks...
Ayax was and will be the only artist I can call a friend, not only because at least the treatment was reciprocal but because he was someone who understood the point of improving over time and help other people.

A funny thing is that I became friends with Ayax after my friend in IRL, Abel, entered college, and who knows, who I'll meet along the way now...
Wherever Ayax is, I hope he's well. Your audience is waiting for you.
