A good friend of mine, of whom I haven't been in touch with all that much due to the current semester being too damn busy for me, is in a spot of trouble.

That person is:  aestas

His job has been, let's just say very bad and not doing very well, and he needs money to get food so that he can actually live and eat and all other sorts of things. But right now he has opened up commissions and his work has been heavily improving over a long period of time, and he often takes commissions when the situation allows it. Right now though he's in a state of emergency, and needs all the help he can get. In the past he has done two commissions for me, as he is really awesome, and it was a lot of fun to be able to help him out.

Here is an example of his work http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13967600/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12264069/

He's a really good person and a fantastic artist, go check him out and try to commish him.
