I don't usually draw what's on my mind, and I haven't felt like this in a while, but lately I'm kinda feeling down...I know a lot of it is due to issues I'm facing in life (financial, job issues, etc.) which have begun to eat at me a bit. Don't get me wrong, I know this feeling will not be permanent, just a bit of a burden right now.

While this was a way for me to vent a bit of my frustrations and feelings as of late, it's also to show a side of my character Irvine that not many people actually know! You see, although he appears cheery and outgoing, Irvine is actually the one of the cast who suffers from severe depression, and this has been a part of his personality for years now. There are times where he goes into the woods surrounding the town, which are actually dangerous to be in around certain times of day, which happens to be when he usually chooses to go there so that others do not follow him and find out just how much he's hurting. Irvine does not want his friends to see this side of him, so he usually hides it pretty well, and everyone has a weakness, depression is one of his.
