In memory of Jessica Belle

Added 2021-09-29 14:45:05 +0000 UTC

In the last 3 days I have received many messages from friends, Patrons and readers of PBB who sent me the sad news of the disappearance of Jessic Belle, she passed away recently. I am really saddened, this notice broke my heart.

Jessica was one of my first readers and supporters, her fursona is my creation, one of the first I made, based on Jessica's description, and she continued to use it for years, until the end, making me really proud and honored to this.

Over the years I have seen this OC designed by many different artists and this thrilled me every time. When I recognized this lovable skunkette I was always surprised and happy to see her. I am glad that Jessica appreciated so much what I have drawn for her but since I heard the news of her I am also so sad and melancholy.

Knowing that I have given her the joy of living, through my work, a life of fantasy in an imaginary universe, in freedom, having fun and dreaming, is beautiful.

Days ago, in an answer under a post, I mentioned that I would like to include among the next tiers also a reward of obtaining an OC: an official "BonBonsona", made by the author with the consent to use it freely for fanfiction, fan art and all you want.

Just because I know that there are my old PBB OCs out there that are still being used and I am so happy with that.

One last thing, I am editing the new PBB page to make Jessica appear in the background and will dedicate it to her.

Here I leave you the first character design of Jessica Belle in a large format, never published before.

Maybe I should ask Gianluca to open a page of the site where to insert all the OC bonbonsona made so far and publish them in this format.

Know that every time I have done one, it has been very special to me.

Thank you Jessica for giving me the honor of making you have fun and dream, thank you for having supporting me and appreciating my work for so many years.

Rest in peace.
