ohh you're not the only one going through a bit of art block lately my friend, fear not ;;
you might be able to take some solace in the fact that you're not alone here! I'm sorry you got the flu too, but if it helps I think this lighting practice turned out really well :D
seems you're relatively new here as well so it's real nice to meet you! welcome to Newgrounds, my friend, and I hope you feel better soon!
