a drawing of a man-- keir from the game obscura-- who is mid laugh, partially covering his mouth with the back of his hand. he is standing slightly off kilter to the camera, and wears a mask that covers the top half of his face and only leaves his soft smile exposed. behind him are buildings and lights that are out of focus.
