"I'm late again! Well, at the saying goes, better late than never. Also, I'm gonna repeat it here, just because it's still ongoing.
WORDS OF NOTICE: Please keep yourselves safe at all costs. Refer to your official announcements, documents and instructions on how to prevent and prepare yourselves from this ongoing pandemic. It may sound worrying and depressing but we are all holding our hopes of getting safely through this together.

Well how long is it this time? Exactly 2 weeks after the other upload about the, you know, pandemic. The data is rather grim now, with (at the time of writing, because it was latest at the time) over 2.1 million confirmed cases, nearly 150 thousand casualties but with over 550 thousand reportedly recovered cases. Even with the spreading is already much slower, thousands of cases are discovered every day and of course, people are super anxious.

One of the casualties has made the name across the Team Fortress 2 community and some more communities out there. Rick May, the voice actor of the Soldier, has passed away due to complications from CoViD-19. This left a huge hole in the hearts of many TF2 players, with me included, and people from the community has been mourning in the form of the 3 Soldier taunts: Soldier's Requiem, Shotgun Secondary Taunt (or 21-gun Salute) and Cow Mangler Taunt (or just Salute), or creating wholesome memes and posts about the matter.

So yeah, in order to make some tribute to the legend, this artwork is made. Consider this my tribute to the passing of a wizard-in-a-robe's roommate who can do explosive jumps with his rocket launcher and left a major impact among the community with his various voicelines and quotes which have been the kickstarters of many, many memorable TF2-related content."
