Well... here it is. The end of the year 2023!
This pic was suppose to be my annual christmas card but I didn't managed to complete it in time. All the details and that Christmas tree in the background took forever to draw (even if I blurred the whole thing in the end :P )
Better late than never ^^
Hope you guys dig it.
Have a great new years eve!
I'll see you in 2024.

Merry Christmas my beautiful people!
And thank you for sticking with me these last few month. The end of the year has been difficult, but with your support, I managed to get through it.
I did start working on a special picture for the occasion... It is looking good so far, but even if I hadn't crash down yesterday, I'd probably wouldn't have managed to complete it in time.
So here's a quick linework that I drew this morning for you that don't have anything to do with the one...

I honestly have no idea why my mind went there.
I've only watched a handful episode of Star Butterfly back when I first got Disney +. I liked what I saw, but I never bother to get back to it, so I was very surprised at myself when looking at my references picture for the next Indiana Jones pic to find myself thinking about that show when looking an a set of Piper Perry pictures (I changed her face a little) and I went with it.

I LOVED the Avengers growing up!!!!
I'm even one of the fools who actually like the 1998 movie. Funny thing, I can't recall any episode, but I do plan to bing it once I'm done with "Classic Who", but I do remember that I was watching it every week and that I was IN LOVE with Emma Peel, played by the amazing Diana Rigg, who is in my humble opinion one of the most beautiful woman who ever graced the planet earth.

How are you doing my beautiful people?
I had an ok week.
First, diarrhea has stopped, and I gained back some of my energies.
Second, the Elsa pic came out just as good as I wanted.
Third, after a rough Wednesday, I started working on a new pic that I feel looks great. A subject I have difficulty to understand why I never tried before (here's a clue for you).
I though I would complete it yesterday, but my computer started to glitch on me while I was doing the r...

This was a quick one. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it and basically did just that. Also, the background was so simple, it basically cut 1 day on the schedule.
The only thing that gave me trouble was the number of effects I needed. I wanted reflections in the marble of her and the stained-glass window she is in front of, but it made the overall pic too busy.

I hope you are feeling better than I do.
Despite me saying that I was finally back on my feet last Monday, it didn't last a full day, last week was a rough one. I had diarrhea and stomach pain all week. I had very little energy even if I managed to draw the Marion Ravenwood pic (that I still LOVE).
On Thursday, I stoped everything to find what was wrong. I had to think hard about what had changed lately since I was getting better before. I...

Hello my beautiful people?
This week is a bit rougher than expected. I'm tempted to install my workstation in front of the toilet bowl right now so I can have a bit more time to work :P
That said, this was a fun one, and I'm REALLY please with the result.

I crashed down again... It lasted a few days, but I'm back on my feet since yesterday. It seems to be some king of a cycle that last about a week. But there's amelioration from weeks to weeks. So I believe it's all for the better good.
I feel like, my inerts needs to be as empty as possible to heal but, my body need food to live which pulled on my injuries which make me feel squeezy on the inside. So I'm constantly being pulled between being fine and needing to eat and purging myself an...

I've been dying to draw this ever since I. Dabrones suggested it when I first got out of the hospital. But I needed to wait until I was feeling good enough and secure enough with my drawing abilities (don't laugh... at one point I didn't know if I'd ever be able to draw again... the Little mermaid pic fixed that) to attack it.

I had an ok week. Over all, it was a good one but with a small two day crash down on Wednesday/Thursday. I say small despite the fact that it lasted two days simply because I felt so much worst in the last few weeks :P
Overall, my situation is still improving. I'm starting to feel myself again. I'm starting to get excited by the lost of weight. I CAN WALK !!!! And I hope to be able to take LONG walks without exhausting myself sooner than late...

This took a little longer than expected. Working only 4 hours a day, with a two day crash down midway, and the fact that half way through I started to think it was a boring piece. That said, I am really pleased with the result.

Hello my beautiful people.
I had a good week!
The last crash down I had is the one I told you about last week. On Thursday, I even managed to draw a little bit... nothing good mind you, but it was the first time I wanted to draw ever since my operation. I am finally starting to feel something like myself again.
Today is an especially great one. My insides fell more as if I had eaten something that disagree with me than as if I had been butchered and sew back togheter. And I ...

Hello my beautiful people,
To be honest, I was slightly exaggerating here... but not by much.
Most of the time, I feel fine. But from time to time I crash down and those can be scary. I just wen't through a 2 day crash. A lot of nausea, and I pretty much slept for two days strait. I am exhausted... and I am tired of feeling exhausted.
If I could go back in time and cancel all of it, I would in a ...
2023-11-14 14:31:10 +0000 UTC View PostTurns out, healing of is a lot harder on the system than I ever expected. I almost missed the hospital earlier this week :P now than I'm not constantly feed through serum, I went a few days more tired than I ever felt in my life. Didn't help that on Saturday (I think), I took a way too long walk (I thought I was good) and when I got home I started to feel like throwing up and unable to eat or drink anything.
A LOOONG nap later, I felt better. But it took a few days to get back from that...

I know I said I'd do this on Monday... but I might as well do it now.
This update will be a bit different than my usual affair. This is just me telling you what happened to me in the last 3 weeks. I’ve been asked a few times in private, so here’s the full story.
Just know one thing first… In my best of times, my perception of time is subjective at best… So you can imagine that, in my state, the last three weeks are mostly a big ...

Next Monday, I'll tell you guys everything about my hospitalization.
Until then, Know, that I am fine... healing nicely... Loosing weighs to a scary pace... but tired as hell. My belief is that I'll have more energy as I start to get more solid food inside me. But I wasn't ready to feel that empty.
Still the moral is fine, I'm back home and am happy with my choices.
Anyways...

2023-11-04 17:01:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello my beautiful people. I finally got the OK from the doctors to go back to my life.
Give me a few days to see how things will go and make a few adjustments to my new reality, and I'll be back with you guys as soon as I can.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for your support during this time.
I'll be forever grateful.

Hello my beautiful people.
Just a quick health update.
I'm sorry to say that I am still at the hospital. Still dealing with a bunch of minor complications. Everything is under control and on the way up, but since I'm a complicated case, the team prefer to keep me under observation until next Monday at the minimum.
Knowing that you&...

Hello my beautiful people.
Page 7 has been delivered. If you are a supporter and confused about that, check your PMs.
As for myself, I'm writhing this because I'm going to disappear for a few days. As you guys know, I'm getting surgery on Tuesday (that's the plan anyway). The doctors suggested I took 6 weeks of work after that. But there's NO WAY I'm going to take that long; I'll get bored and I'll lose half of you :P Beside, my work isn't really physically intensive, so my hopes ar...
How are you doing my beautiful people?
One week before my surgery!!!
Everything went great until last night. I checked my ketones levels and they are high (and doubled during the night)… but everything else is fine. So I’m trying to reach my medical team to see if I need to go to the hospital, or of it is a natural part of the diet, but since it is thanksgiving I’m not sure I’ll be able to reach anybody today. It is frustrating and putting me on edge.
