I share your pain. I work very early in the morning at a physically-demanding yet part-time job, surviving on only $200+ per week. With ridiculously overpriced housing, it's just a matter of time before we both end up on the street. Make mine a threesome with Leni and Rayla from The Dragon Prince. She's a badass elf assassin with a sensitive side.

My income went up drastically after moving up to a better job where I work a few months ago, but there's times where I still get pretty bummed out due to being alone most of the time.
Sorry for the late response. I hope you find something better, and Rayla's design is very nice. Thanks for the fave, too!!

In my case it's Flora, fairy of nature. Another beauty unfortunately stuck in the cartoon realm forever.

I'm sorry about what happened to you, man.....and awesome job with the drawing there! Y'know, I've had fantasies of being in love with fictional female characters, too (along with female celebrities). There have even been a few occasions where I've cuddled in bed with my Cleodora the Mermaid puppet for the sake of comfort. And, like you, I've had my depressed moments (and have several flaws like you do).
So, my friend, it looks like we have three things in common: #1, we're both excellent cartoonists; #2, we've had our moments of depression; and #3, we've both had fantasies of having relationships with fictional female characters.
Let's all hope that this Black Friday works out much better for you!

It's all good. I'm actually in better spirits now. The next time I'm that depressed I'll visit my doctor immediately.

I always hope I can help you. I have a series of drafts that I intend to publish soon.

After reading through this I have to say that the detail you put in the eyes really says what you're feeling. This is so well done.

Thank you. I honestly think this is one of the best pictures I've ever made...

That's quite a lot to absorb, and it's courageous of you to go into such depth about the worst times… and especially the really bad thoughts. Even in the picture there are hints of confusion and mess just on your computer table, and even the time on the clock suggests serious depression because AM it's typically too late to be in bed and PM is too early. (…as a guess at least.)
As for you expression and overall pose, drained of will, it's terrific. Leni looks fantastic too. Her expression, the warmth and empathy she has while caring for you, is wonderful. The poses fit together very well too, always a toughie, and you even did a decent job on getting the feet right in that pose. (Even some of the best artists sometimes get hands or feet backwards.)
Sometimes when I'm really down and need a little niceness (and perhaps control too) in my life, I would also imagine a perfect companion (such as having a wife or raising a kid), though usually in more of an active thing. It's not always so good though because as it plays out there's a big risk that my brain will suddenly make it all go south in an instant.
Anyway, I truly hope this year goes much better for you. With the good news and how busy you're going to be in your new job it should help. but still be sure to take some family & friends time, fun or just hanging out. Take care.

Thank you. Your in-depth commentary is always a joy to read.
You guessed correctly about the time on the clock. When I get home from work on a Friday morning, I can get a good nap in and stay up late on Fridays and Saturdays, but on that wretched evening/night, the depression and Jack decimated me.
Anyway, it's really nice to know that I'm not the only one who suffers from the type of solitude from time to time, but the next time I feel so downtrodden, I'll contact my doctor IMMEDIATELY.
I have a feeling things will be better for me as a whole this time around, especially now that I'll be doing the particular job I've been working to get for the last two years.
Thanks again, and have an awesome weekend.

Thank you, Dwayne.
I'm actually in good spirits right now, though I'm a little chilly as I stand outside babysitting the pork I'm smoking LOL. The next drawing I have in mind will be much more positive in tone.

My only problem with the thing you drew is that it looks like Leni's dress is far too short. It looks like half her butt is showing... not that I mind that.

Thank you. I'm actually feel much better compared to the last Black Friday, especially since I'll probably get a job that despite being seasonal, will likely usher me in to a permanent job once the old guys start retiring.
