This is probably gonna be the last finished thing I post in 2023.

I dunno why, but I wanted to try something different stylistically. I like drawing realish characters but sometimes I wanna do something more cartoonish.

lihtsalt täpsustaks, et "see fond" on euroopa merendus-, kalandus- ja vesiviljelusfond, mille eesmärk on toetada kalandust (sh kala jms tarbimist) ja toiduga kindlustatust

ja ülikool ilmselgelt esitas hankes pakkumuse, sest selle kampaania eest makstakse raha. raha on ikka ülikooli huvides.
