I always finish the art I start. I have only a few unfinished sketches I remember about. That is why I was very surprised when I was cleaning my files and found this collage partly done. I completely forgot about this work, as if it wasn't me who painted it. 😅 The art was laying in the folder since last June. So, now I finished it at last. Although this is a sad episode in the lives of the characters, it is still part of their story. So, it is "Faith".
