IMPORTANT: Wrist Injury
9 years ago
So 6 days ago, as I was working on my current ref sheet, I ended up putting myself into a really shitty predicament.
I (was) working every single day and I'm sure people were seeing the stream icons that'd be popping up around the same time almost every night. I was working 6-9 hours a day on top of school and really getting through owed stuff like crazy. Unfortunately during my stream last Wednesday, I started having extreme, almost unbearable pain in my right hand to the point that I could no longer grip my pen. However, I didn't think much of it as I've had pretty bad aches and cramps from streaming before and usually I'm almost totally fine within 24 hours.
Unfortunately, this time I must have done some serious stuff to my wrist as it's not gotten any better after 6 days. I was initially diagnosed with carpal tunnel but my symptoms aren't lining up, especially the area of pain. (I'm thinking it may be a sprain as it happened during one of my wrist stretches)
I've had it in a brace and within the next couple days I'll be seeing about going to a specialist and maybe getting some different medication to help with pain and recovery. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be out of work for 2-4+ weeks. Right before MFF. I'm going to do what I can to go but this has thrown off a lot of plans and felt like a low blow to me that words couldn't describe.
I'm not asking for donations (at least, I have always wanted to do anything I can to avoid getting to that point) so I will be exploring alternate ways to produce content and lining up future commissions for when my recovery is done. Some ideas I've had:
-Learn to draw with left hand for now (not entirely unfeasible considering how often I've used vectored lines in the past)
-Start to dabble in 3D
-Writing, especially script writing for a future comic
-Art studies in general
For now, if you want to help me out, ask me about a commission and we can get something worked out. I'll take on a few more on top of what I have now and hopefully that will get me by without putting me too far behind. However, I simply don't know how long recovery will take. Regardless I will be making as many steps as possible to improve my situation as again, this is my job, and drawing is basically my only ambition.
I will keep people updated as this is my livelihood and I am still hell bent on getting to MFF and continuing to draw and improve myself.

Similar thing happened to Virmir only his was more severe

About the last bit, certainly willing to commission whenever you're feeling up to it.
Repetitive sprain injury
The pain is often nerver overactivity due to using your hands so much. Still get signals to hands even after you stop using them. Ice caalms them down, as we;; as ytuomh to stretch that sides arms,back and hand.
