This is the finished tribute to a dear friend of mine that passed away no more than a month ago. His tragic end came as a complete surprise, but he was one of my most loyal supporters of my craft, both as a Patron and as a friend.
The subject is John's all-time favourite character, Octavia Melody. It was heartwrenching to see the amount of Octavia artwork that flooded in after John's passing, knowing that he would have loved every single picture. I describe this piece as the moment she performs a somber composition in front a crowd of thousands at a stadium. She plays on with every note as the audience watches her, except for one. But deep down, she knows that he is watching her. And he's proud of her. Just as he is proud of us.
