For once, I'm not going to mock him. This was a piece I commissioned from  HELbite to mark a particularly painful life-experience from this past year. 'Rig has always been meant to be a personification (and often, "caricature") of the personality traits most commonly shown by myself and noted by others. So, it seemed fitting that he would be in an image meant to serve as a catharsis for something deeply personal. When creating him, I wanted him to be someone who tries to take on the suffering of others, often to his own detriment and to little gain.

He took a lot of the burden for me, here.
