I Need to Take a Break or I Might Actually Hurt Myself.
3 years ago
FROM THE DESK OF THE DRAGON..
This feels like a journal that's been coming for a bit, but likely due to my need and feel to always be working.
All that working seems to have caught up to me -- and I have pain running up from my drawing-hand up my arm, and around my shoulder.
It's likely some kind of Repetitive Strain Injury, which considering all the drawing I do would make sense. I've been taking better care of myself lately, but it feels like my body is overwhelmingly calling for a longer period of rest other than 'Okay, Spaz, take a day or two off'. -- Which is how I usually try to do things.
...Until that need to draw suddenly comes up again, and I find myself breaking routine.
---
More or less -- A problematic cycle of "I need to work on these so I can clear my queue and also make money to eat and pay bills --- But if I rest, I'm not doing any of those things! I'm wasting time!" is resulting in my arm telling me that enough is enough.
---
I've contemplated doing a GoFundMe, but figured a regular donation drive might be a bit better. Maybe the donation rewards can even go towards inking and coloring a pretty big (for the OTHER account) animation I'm working on! ... After my break, of course. ;;'
But no, seriously -- Spaz needs a break. A proper break, or else Spaz' arm will refuse to function outright before Age 30.
I would rather have people wait a few weeks for me to recover, than to not have them ever get a piece if I actually fuck myself up physically >.<''
It's a prospect I'd rather not think about. I enjoy drawing too much.
And to enjoy it further, I need to take a step back.
If you'd like to donate towards my recovery / bill-pay / foodstuffs relief, please consider using my Paypal.me, here --> Spazman's Den

Thank you all, again, for being awesome. I'll do my best to stretch and rest and recover! ;;/

I'd much rather wait a month or two for you to recover then break the muscles or damage the nerves in your arm for more art buddy, please rest well and we'll be waiting ^^

Dude, take a much needed rest. You're one man doing the work of three people.

Here's hoping you're able to recover smoothly. I literally just saw this video posted somewhere, some wrist & hand stretches you could do. This sort of thing really does help me, hopefully it can do the same for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIE83KMAtBY

Had a feeling with there being times with you mentioning hurting your hand and such from working on stuff that you'd end up with RSI or worse, carpel tunnel before long x.x please do get rest dude!
