Does the "link to artist's stuff" rule apply if the poster is the artist? Anyway, https://www.weasyl.com/~voidlizard

No, it's not necessary if you're the artist, although feel welcome to link to your gallery if you want anyways. That is a beautiful picture, but there's a hint of sadness, right? Is there a background to the story?
Alright, good to know! As for the picture, it's sort of a world building piece - I made a disease that's similar to the fictional illness hanahaki disease, which is when someone with unrequited love coughs up flowers. My version is when someone is grieving a lost one, and it's cured when they make peace with their loss. The flower they cough up is always chrysanthemums. This character is closely related to death and gets the disease by proxy from ghosts and people visiting the graves he tends. In the picture, he's experiencing the grief disease, although it's not his own sorrow.
