Hi all, as I mentioned, I've been experimenting with drawing in my sketchbook for brief periods to test the limits of what I can tolerate without making my hands worse. Today I dusted off my Cintiq (literally -_-;) to try doing a set of warm up figures. I felt like doing some bunny girls, and Sammy begrudgingly agreed to be my model. ;) Anyway, enjoy.

I have a new video to share, courtesy of Ecchistar. This one features the "futanarization" of Ann and Samus, featuring the two of them playfully swapping costumes... and more. If I recall correctly, several of you noted after the completion of the picture that the positioning of their bodies was practically begging for a futanari version, and Ecchi happily volunteered to help out.
In the video...
2024-08-20 14:01:56 +0000 UTC View PostTime for another update. Things are not going as well as I would've liked. The injections have helped clear up some of the weakness I was experiencing in my wrists, and I'm able to spend longer periods of time at my computer using the mouse or scrolling on my tablet. Unfortunately, I continue to struggle with arm fatigue, numbness and tingling in my pinky and ring fingers, and burning pain in my elbow and forearm, which suggests to me that the main problem area is the cubital tunnel after all...

I revisited a picture of Aerith I made a few years ago intending to only do a few touchups, and ended up entirely remaking it, complete with her new Costa Del Sol swimsuit. Enjoy!

2024-08-04 14:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I saw the orthopedic hand surgeon yesterday. The results from the EMG came back negative - this is good news, meaning I don't have any nerve damage or muscle atrophy, and ulnar nerve entrapment is unlikely. Instead, he thinks the main culprit is carpal tunnel syndrome.
I received corticosteroid injections in both wrists, which was unpleasant, but I'm extremely hopeful that this will get ...
Elizabeth lies on silken sheets mirroring the night sky, clad in a form-fitting azure top, skirt, and matching boots. The uniform's accompanying cap sits upright amidst scattered tarot cards. She stretches languidly and rests her head in the crook of her arm, allowing her silver hair to tumble from its carefully arranged bob.
Her golden eyes glow with a piercing intensity. “The cards foretell the night's destiny," she says in a detached tone, whose implications, like the ...
2024-08-01 15:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Writing to give you all an update on the situation with my hands. Last week, I had the EMG tests done. Not exactly a pleasant experience, getting repeatedly electro-shocked and stabbed with needles. Once they did the right arm, they repeated the same process on the left, uuugh. All the while, there was a 2nd person in the room grilling me about my profession. When the "What type of art do you do?" question comes up, I usually default to something mild and nondescript like "chara...

2024-07-06 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt seems that everything medical related tends to move in slow motion. After numerous calls to various facilities and doctors to get the EMG test authorized by insurance, I finally got it scheduled. The place my doctor recommended didn't have any openings until November (!!), but I called around and found another place that can take me next Friday. Hooray. Meanwhile, rest alone hasn't really provided much relief. Some days I start to feel little better, but then the pain and numbness is right...

2024-06-16 19:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday, I had a consultation with an orthopedic specialist. After some testing and discussion, she determined I had carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome in both arms. The next step is to schedule an EMG (electromyography) to see the extent and severity of the nerve damage and decide on the best possible treatment plan. The EMG apparently involves sticking tiny needles into the hand to measure muscle response. So that should be fun. :O
Aside from that, I'm continuing to ...

2024-06-05 20:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've been doing my best to allow my hands to rest and recover. I have an appointment with a hand specialist scheduled for the 12th (the soonest they could get me in), so we'll see how it goes. I'm looking forward to getting a treatment plan that gets me back to the drawing table as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I've been busying myself with writing, hands-free, with the assistance of dictation software. While it’s a bit slower than typing, I’m making progress. One of the ide...

2024-06-01 20:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
So update from the doctor. He pretty much confirmed what I already suspected, which is that I'm suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. I've been referred to a hand specialist. For now though, the order is rest, brace, and medicate... which I've already been doing. We'll see how it goes. Thanks so much for all your kind notes and well wishes.
When I'm feeling up to it, I'll see about digging through the archive and posting some art and stories that I haven't s...

Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have any new artwork to share. This was an update I was hoping not to have to write, but I've been dealing with health problems - most likely some form of carpal tunnel syndrome (possibly tendinitis) in both my left drawing hand as well as my right hand, and have been unable to work since last Tuesday.
I had noticed twinges of discomfort in my wrists, and other symptoms creeping up on me over the last couple of months, but they were ...
