Been a while since I drew an OC from my WIP series The Shadows now renamed The Shadows Project. This is Amy one of the MC's. A telepath who can commune with the dead and spiritual world. Half human, half shadow she and he friends form a rebel gang to fight the Shadow Control Agency and keep peace between the natural and supernatural world. Been reworking the series to be more urban legend inspired.

Hope to release it someday as a web novel with some art to go along side.

Got another art piece done, health is still up in the air but I got time to draw. Also, I found an art glove that doesn't activate the touch screen. So drawing on my chromebook tablet is easier. More test arts to come. Kinda just drawing what comes to my foggy pan-fried brain.

Stay safe everyone.

Life Update:

Got moved to a new place with my partner. Which has been great. Our last one was in disrepair and full of mold. (Which I am allergic to)

Still struggling with undiagnosed chronic pain. Now it gives me migraines starting at the back of my head. Kinda feels like I'm being hit in the back of the head. (So fun)

Alsong with that I am still dealing with my other chronic illnesses. CPTSD, DID, IBS which definetly compile with my most likely Fibromyalgia. So it's fun, especially trying to explain to my work that I was already disabled and that this chronic pain is making it much harder to live.

Will hopefully be able to work from home soonish. Which will be great as some days I just don't feel safe leaving home. Dizziness and joint instability.

Kinda curious what ithers with compounding disabilities do to limit their bad days. Or how they deal with explaining multiple invisible disabilities.

Advice is always welcome. Will hopefully be drawing again soon. Still unpacking and settling into the new place.

Sending out good vibes internet peeps.

Stay safe.

Been dealing with chronic pain, with an undiagnosed cause. While it is most likely Fibromyalgia I have to rule out a lot of things before I get a diagnosis. It's been about 6 months and it has been rough to see how my body has changed. Calling in sick due pain has become common. Also realized daily tasks have become hard to near impossible. I am coping as best as I can and have adapted mobility aides into my life. Kinda wanted to draw something to show the struggle.

Here's to hopefully getting a diagnosis soon.

Finally was able to get myself a tablet Chromebook hybrid, so I once again can do digital art. Still getting used to it as of now but was able to complete two pieces which I am proud of. Though I do wonder what gloves are best to reduce accidental touched from my fingers. Any advice on that would be appreciated. Hope to be drawing more art soon and begin publishing fanfics again. Moving in 7 days so will be busy for the next little while.

Stay safe everybody.

Peace

JUST SOME THOUGHTS! I don’t really like the “go from the top up” advice on drapery/clothes - if you’re having difficulty try it like this!

YES I see the typo… I’m so sorry folks… I was in a frenzied rush to make this…… and I’m too lazy to fix it……

[yashiroreaper]

Finally got a new PC, a chromebook with a detachable touch screen. Finally, I'm able to do digital art again but still getting used to it. But I was able to get my first complete piece done.

Also, dealing with a lot of medical issues. Most likely going to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, so I will become less active even now that I have a pc again.

Also, I will be moving again soon, so that will also dampen my productivity.

A couple tips for drawing expressions I made just for funsies. Keep in mind that this might not be helpful for people with more “realistic” artstyles, but I hope it’s at least helpful for some people!! :)

I’m learning to draw some chubby bellies

Here’s some refs that I found! Special thanks to @banished-away for finding these people who made these refs! Go check them out! Give them, and these amazing artists, a like and a follow if you can! :D

Art Tips:

I don’t see where it is so I might have not put it in here but another tip is to start the fat below the the rib cage to make it more realistic.

Lav Recs:

I recommend studying the chubby poses from behind more often I feel as though people struggle more with drawing characters from behind because why would you be looking at their back? But it's incredibly useful to have refs with people with chubbier body types from the back also does anyone else see ref number three person two from the right checking out person 1 from the right? Lmao.

Extra Note:

P.s I've been told im good at finding refs if you ever need any you can just send me an ask. And I'll do my best to credit the original artist and provide refs.

Affirmation:

All bodies are beautiful and unique to each person that's how genetics work. <3 Even identical twins will grow up with slight differences with their bodies and that's okay! Because either way you're perfect the way you are as long as you're healthy and happy. A lot of times those two things correspond.

Lav Tips for Refs:

Usually Google is where I look. A good way to find chubby refs is to search plus size swim suit models for men or even wemon. Let me know if you guys need more tips on finding refs.

Side note: this post has nothing but good intentions. You all have a lovely day and keep the demons away except mine >:3

TFA Ratchet makes those little creaky noises when he moves his joints.

And in IDW he’s seen fiddling with his hands even long after they’d been replaced.

To me Ratchet will always be disabled. I wish it was focused on more in canon and not mostly abandoned after the Delphi arc or only mentioned when joking about his age.

The same goes for a lot of TF characters with medical issues/disabilities. Ratchet in particular is just important to me personally.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.
