Fanart for I Can't Sleep/nosleep666, a YouTube animator that's been getting a fair bit of traction as of late. The unnamed main character (referred to by fans as Nia) featured in their animations is, to put it lightly, one who regularly struggles with very dark thoughts, something that may or may not be reflective of the animator themselves.

I thought about which character of mine I'd use here, as I didn't want to come off as tactless by either using my own avatar or an OC that was too goofy. I wound up chosing Panny because I feel she carries with her a kind of child-like positivity that allows her to comfort others in a way that's genuine, despite the less-than-serious way that she dresses.

You can find nosleep666's channel here and their patreon here. A bit of a forewarning however, their animations deal with some very dark and mature subject matter, which is at times graphically depicted. However, I still recommend checking them out, as I feel it's important for people to step out of their comfort zones and explore forms of art and expression that may make them feel emotions they don't necessarily want to feel. Not only that, but they're genuinely well-made and thought-out animations that absolutely deserve your support.
