...goodness, it's been quite a while since I've uploaded...well, anything. Sorry about that. In the interim, I've come to realize that my mascot...has grown into my muse as well. Mari helps me to bring out the assorted emotions and feelings, the beauty and wide-eyed wonder that is the source of my artistic exploration. This is Mari being a bit more vulnerable. Even now, she speaks to me. She's grown on me so much in such a short time. ^_^ Anyway, I hope you enjoy this.

PS: ...I didn't put the "mature" tag here because nothing mature is visible. If this is in error, please let me know and I'll correct right away.
