I wish I could send some more cash your way, but cash has been tight for me. Although it's not great news, I'm thankful to hear from you and hope strongly that you're able to maintain access to your chemotherapy & medication. Please always reach out to Fuuka and I if there's any way we can help. ๐ซ
I'm not someone to make this kind of posts often as I do feel bad for not giving anything in return in immediate time for such help, but the circumstances of my Chemoteraphy treatment have become increasingly more difficult to sustain from a lack of funds to pay for the next sessions and meds.
The coloring here is phenomenal & the pose is framed really good, well done!!
my next plan is to see if i can draw as freely soon, i've just been so focused on knitting lately that any creative freetime i get goes straight to working through my little stash. the fixation is very real
realizing I never updated here
my EMG showed no signs of damage, no further follow up yet. it's still rather easy to overwork my hands, but gratefully beyond some stiffness i've been able to knit... mostly freely, as long as i stretch and apply some balm after
pink, yellow, and orange-y (peachy?) hand knit socks, modeled on my feet. they are pressed together on a white background
not an illustration but i'm ok using this account for crafty stuff too ๐ returning to knitting has been surprisingly good for my hands, finished a pair i'd started a couple years ago!!
main yarn is a hand-dyed pick from my lys but i lost the label, accent is most likely cascade heritage! ๐ฉท๐
I'd also like to get back into fiber arts and share little updates about that too. I'd envisioned "amaneau" as a pseudonym to hide only my artwork behind, but, perhaps any crafting is OK too. They make me "me", after all.
Thank you for reading my aimless thoughts. ๐ Posting a doodle from July.
I hoped to return to art full-time, but my injury has taken a long enough time that I can't really afford to spend hours a day drawing anymore. Once I'm better, I'll return to a regular job. When I can draw comfortably again, I'd still like to share illustrations here and there. (4/5)
objects or work with my hands, which makes illustrating difficult. I try to rest, but I'm a restless woman, and it's a difficult balance between finding things to keep me occupied and not hurting myself. Finding hand-free hobbies has been tough. (3/5)
by a specialist for further testing. I've gotten blood work done to rule out rheumatoid arthritis (thank god), the test this month will help show if there is nerve damage & help my doctors determine what treatment I need.
Until then, while the pain comes and goes, I can't reliably grip (2/5)
It's been awhile; I only have a few friends here, but I'd like to apologize for the lack of uploads.
A lot of you know the issues I have with my hands by now. I'm not entirely sure I want to get into the finer details about it on social media, particularly while I'm still waiting to be seen (1/5)
ty!! i'm grateful to hear that bc linework has been historically a weak spot for me. ๐ฅน we'll see, last time it was this bad it took a couple months to get "normal". but i no longer work in a lumber yard so it should be faster this time? :D ty regardless!
work in progress illustration of a character from idolmaster. in the image it is currently unclear but she is meant to be laying on her back, with one hand on her forehead and one on her chest. she is currently completely undressed, with faint lines indicating where her jacket should go, and is in more of a relaxed pose than a seductive one
Unfortunately, as of today I'm having another bad bout of carpal tunnel and nerve pain. I'd like to share a cropped WIP that I was originally hoping to finish and post soon.
For sure ๐ญ 'least this sketchbook is almost full, so I can pick a better one for copics next. That's a great point with bleeding, these do blend beautifully! I saw it on my other account, still in awe of how she came out. ๐โโ๏ธ And thank you, I am!
That's a fair reason to pick them!! And ooo OK, I'm glad you get it. Since I usually draw on a tiny scale, the bleed with my paper feels a little extra finnicky. I only have the warm grey sketch set, but it does cover a full value range at least! I plan on sleeping soon, but I will keep my eyes out๐ฅฐ
Of course!! She had such a cool color palette, I had to! Also happy you like the hair, I'm learning to use my copics so I didn't have the most control ๐ฑ I'm excited to see your Maya, please feel free to tag me here or my main, @carlycarmine.bsky.social !
of course, i'm so happy you like it!! i love the miqo "hands on hips" /cpose and when i saw your glam i'd immediately thought "these would look super cool together". had to draw something similar after! ๐
third time's a charm on the upload, figured out it might be a setting with firefox that makes image uploads finnicky. ty firefox

Doodle of Azura and Andras from SMT Imagine. Every now and then I think about how cute the cutscene in Act 11 is.

Dulia-chai lounging on a sheeted bench, leaning her body on her right side. She is not wearing any clothing. She is not looking at the camera, but she is smiling.
An illustration of Dulia-Chai Mewlah! I really wanted to draw her after rewatching MSQ through 5.3.
