Auto Portrait

This is not Clef. This is simply Laurence, the girl behind the costumes and drawings. No cosplay trick here, no wig,  no body shaper, no heavy makeup, no heavy photoshop editing. Just me, not even holding my breath XD, with the pain and my love of life despite everything.

To tell the truth, I was only trying to understand how to get sharp pictures with the timer and the remote  for my future cosplay photoshoots but it looks like I still don't get it XD

Damnit , I have this background...

...set and ready in my living room since last week. I wanted to take more pictures of my latest costumes but I can't find a day where my body is strong enough. I was thinking : " Oh yeah , maybe tomorrow !" And then today I'm having a bad herxeimer reaction ( die off, body overloaded with toxins due to the treatments) which means the fatigue and pain are more intense than usual. I hate this. So maybe tomorrow then.

Today I'm a happy little mouse because ...

  I'm halfway through my antibiotic treatment for the first part of my illness, and I'm starting to feel better. My Liver / gallbladder pains are starting to be easier to bear depending on the days, (it's possible the bacteria have invaded that part of my body too). Another 14 days of antibiotics and then I will go for three new months of phytotherapic treatment. ( just for the belly part)
Hopefully it will stabilize everything before I'm able to start cryotherapy and the German Lym...

whats wrong patreon?

I had found an option to suspend my patron but obviously it didn't work as I still have been paid this month despite everything.. I don't understand this website.

 So I'm gonna delete my account . just need the time to find how . Than you for everything.

Patreon paused

 Here it is, I found a way to suspend my patreon so you won't be charged until I come back healthier ( you can keep your subscription, you won't be charged until I un-pause my account , I'll let you know ). I really was feeling awkward getting money without making any new post. I hope when I come back from this hiatus you'll still be there !  

Thank you for everything  , I wish you the best <3

My Patreon inactivity

Hello everyone.
This is a reminder to tell you I'm not posting anymore regular content until my health is better. I don't have the energy to do it.

Please feel free to delete your pledges because I won't be back this summer I guess.

(I'm  still waiting to attend the 3 weeks stay at the german clinic, but before the stay I need a pre treatment and they ask to see me there several times...) I feel unease knowing I'm not able to provide content while some of...

News, drawing and health

Hello my dear patrons. I hope you are doing okay with this beautiful weather.

I know I don't post much, Like it told you before I'm downgrading this place until my health is fine enough to be able to post regularly.  

I'm leaving for my first appointment to the German Lyme Clinic tomorrow and just before I leave I wanted to share my last drawing wip with you. It's not much I know. I promise you once I'm fine I'll be super active !

So here is a small  quick jpg WIP,...

Closing my Patreon.

Hello everyone. Like most of you noticed, my health is not improving and I'm actually not able to publish content anymore. The days where I am able to draw or do something are rarefying. Patreon has  permitted me to try several treatments for the  disease but Lyme seems to be stronger every month passing. I'm here today to say thank you to all of you. I I wish I could continue here but even preparing prints each month ask me too much strenght that I don't have anymore.

Health

Hello everyone,
I may take some time to get all the prints and everything ready this month. I'm going through really tough times. Long story short : I'm going through hell again.

I don't know what to write  because I don't have the strength to tell you what is going on  at the moment.

Please take care, your life is too important to be wasted.

I love you  people.

Health update

I wanted to post interesting things but I'm once again being so sick that I'm barely functional.  I'm staying in bed all day because I don't even have the strength to stand up . I'm probably having another Herxheimer reaction and it will soon sooth  until the next one.

My skin had pretty weird reactions too. Look at this:

WIP and Health update

I was able to work on my tinkerbell !!! Here is an exclusive WIP. it's far from being finished.

I have been trying  a new treatment for one week now. And it looks like something is happening in my body.  I felt less pain for a few days ( but it's back now)  . I know it's   treatment which only works on the long term so I think it's a good thing.

I  will need to buy more equipment since I only bought the basic kit for basic treatment. I wanted to see if it is...

Just a little something I'm working on

After weeks of being ill like hell, I finally got  a day where I've been able to do something !

Thanks to your help, I started my new treatment and well I don't know what's going on but I have been feeling a bit better for 2 days . (probabely a placebo effect, time will tell)  I'll tell you more about the treatment in a few weeks.

 I also got the visit of a very dear friend of mine and she did some sewing with me ( and for me) , so I probabely will have a new co...

New treatment.

Thanks to your support on patreon, I'll be very soon  able to start another treatment (along with Infrared treatment that I need to continue), it's is a treatment based on magnetic scalar waves, it is called rife machines. This is also something that doctors are not allowed to practice in france (yes viva la francia !....)but they treat lyme disease among other diseases ( like cancers) with it in germany for example and in other countries too.
I'll post  pictures and tell you my imp...

Maul's Death WIP (also a Rebels spoiler so be warned)

English : ( français en-dessous)


Finally I found the energy to stay in front of my computer and upload this video. This past week has  been really awful and I couldn't walk and stay up for 3 days in  a row. I finally understood that I was having a reaction to one of my organic treatment : an herxheimer reaction. It means the treatment is killing lyme bacteria but at the same time the symptoms intensity increases. I though I was going to die again ( you can check on youtube,...

News and health ( english/french)

Hello my dear patreons. I wanted to share with you a video of my latest drawing and start  preparing  the prints to send to you but I have been feeling so bad these past few days that I will need some more time to do so . Lately everything has been awful. For example, yesterday  my body was'nt responding to me. I couldn't even stay  sat on a  chair.  Everyday, each  of my limbs feel like it is a dead weight and inflict pain as soon as I try to move . I cry a lo...

March's Random Draw

I just processed to the random draw. This time I didn't put all the name on  papers since there were too much names. I used a drawing app.

And then, March's Winner is : Watch the video above :)
Congratulation, you won a quick  sketch of the character of your choice

Harka/May photo + Random draw

So, tomorrow I'll proceed to the monthly random draw and will offer the chance to one of you (5$ and higher pledges)  to get a free drawing. See you soon :)

Tinkerbell slow progress

after  3 months hiatus I'm back on my tinkerbell  costume. I work just a tiny bit on it everyday because Im too tired and painful to do more . I believe at this rhythm  it will be finished by the end of the year. sigh 

Photo manipulation WIP +PSD

Some people asked me how I did the Haruka photo  manipulation.

Everything on this picture is obviously fake and  since I'm no hollywood /ILM professional artist , it is not really realistic. But if you are curious to see how I made this picture , you'll find a  downloadable *.rar* file below.

It contains :

-1 PSD file with the work on the background (maybe also some layers you can re use in you own manipulations)

-1 PSD file with the work on the charac...

Pokemon Haruka Trainer part 2

Duh ! I takes so long to edit a background ! Would be a lot easier if I could go outside take a few pictures XD.


Instead of wiping my messy home on each pic XD

Haruka/ Pokemon Edit nov 2019 Complete

I really really wanted to go to that tiny event on friday and saturday. But as I feared, I wasn't able to go. Too much pain and fatigue.

Everything was ready, even the cat.

  So instead I took a bit more rest and today I decided to take a few pictures of my costume at home ( a lot less tirering than going to a con).

WIP video + file + news

 ENGLISH / FRENCH

This time a longer one and slower one to let you see more in details how I apply colors on a drawing.

 You'll also find an attachement piece , a file containing actions to reproduce some Instagram filters on photoshop, I used the  Clarendon filter on the illustration above . You'll find:

• Stinson
• Vesper
• Claredon
• Maven  

It also works with Adobe Premiere.

Sailor Saturn colouring WIP

Just a WIP I recorded 3 weeks ago. It is not impressive but it may still interest some people. Enjoy ;)

I'm back !

 English :

 Hello my dear Patreons, I just got back from Georgia. 

I'm very tired and I wish I could say I'm in super shape but I'm not...yet!

 But I'm satisfied anyway. Not once during my stay did the doctors say my problems were mental  and that I should see a psy ( like they always love to  repeat in France, along with giving you anti depressing shit). No , they fully understood my pain and say they were used to treat bad intestinal conditions . ( b...

Hello from Georgia

Hello  everyone. 

As you know I'm still receiving my treatment  in a Georgian Clinic. My tummy seems to go  slightly better but on the other hand, the pain and fatigue going through my muscles and articulations  are almost worse. Well, I went to this clinic to start healing my digestive system, I know I will have a lot more to work on when I get back : get rid of my heavy metal intoxication and then get rid of Lyme and other co-infections. What a program ! 2017-02-27 16:34:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi from Georgia

Hello Everybody !

Just to let you know I arrived  in Tbilissi to start my phagotherapy treatment. I hope this will cure my  infections ( dysbiose and co) and let me be strong enough to fight the whole  lyme disease complex. (these are separate things)
Just wait and see.

I also like the picture I took on the first day with the lovers on a bench and a doggie walking in^^

Love!
Clef

What's next ?

Prints :

Like I told you in my previous message, I didn't have time nor enough energy to get all the prints set for february. January has been really tough. So when I return from my health trip to Georgia , I'll send all the prints to 12$ pledges and higher.  I'm leaving tomorrow. Wish me luck !

Give Away :

No Giveaway in January since I wasn't able do to anything due to my health condition.
