Dr. Saul R. ██████ was most known for living up to his moniker Dr. Sunshine. He was a wonderful and sweet doctor and a very wise adviser to his subordinate Dr. Magnus and, to an extent, Dr. Natasha. He was most beloved by his coworkers in the Linehan Institute...and his death was considered an untimely tragedy for someone who had a lot of dreams to achieve in his career. The people who used to work with him thought that something felt off, but they can't really argue against the cause of death being anything else other than a fatal stroke. It was for the best that they left his name in peace and continue his legacy.
Then his body suddenly disappeared without a clear reason, and people are starting to think something weird is going on in the Institute itself...
"The sun will always shine tomorrow. Don't forget that."

The flowers are inspired by Van Gogh's Sunflowers, which I personally think is a big brain decision

Created with the express purpose of prettying his page. Had a fun time doing this style! Has an accompanying dark version.

Lyrics are from Nakakapagpabagabag by Dasu ft. Kagamine Len. It's in Tagalog! And it's very fitting for their situation.

Made on Ibis Paint X while I was out with my family. Works as an introduction to their theme songs.

I'm trying out different styles. The painty style eludes me...but I still like this one.

Tried to do something experimental here too. The sun and moon pictures are taken from Unsplash! As of writing this though, the info on this piece is...a little outdated!

This is where it all began: This is the first concept art for the doctor! Obviously I fell in love with the first try.
relations
Magnus: coworker/advisee
"My proper pupil, he has grown so much since the first time he joined us. I'm very proud of him. I know he'll do a great job taking over my role once I retire...which will be soon, hoho! He knows how excited I am to finally have some time for myself."
Natasha: coworker/(unofficial) advisee
"A brilliant mind, that one. Natasha's talented, though...hm. Something about her concerns me. I've been meaning to discuss it with her, and I hope she understands where I'm coming from."
Montero: friend
"He's a good man. We tend to cross paths, and eventually it escalated to friendly banter...I enjoy his company. It's good to have friends when you're a busy father...with...Ah, apologies, got carried away."
Jimmy: old patient/friend
"I'm happy to hear that he's doing better! We still keep in touch as friends. He keeps on prattling on about doing favors for me...I keep saying that he really doesn't have to, hoho!"
Scarlet: ...
"...I only wish she's protecting you out there, my little moon. I'm so sorry...for everything..."
author's notes
I love this man so much. It may not look like it, what with all the death and such, BUT I really do love him!! Honest!! He's just a sweet old man, this I promise you. Does it help if I told you his main inspiration is Harvey from Stardew Valley, or will people mock me for my (obviously superior) taste in dilfs...also he has two of my favorite Will Wood songs as his theme songs, so go figure.
He's the fourth character to enter the TIA cast, and obviously he's an extremely important fella. I try my best to be as cryptic about him as possible.
