Health update, Comic dub casting call, and an auction!
7 years ago
Okay, got some updates for alla yas!
HEALTH
First off, the tendonitis that kept me from drawing entirely healed up quickly earlier this month, after giving it a ton of rest and rehab attention. The longer-term issue is that I've got a major artery/nerve branch on either side where they pass from the shoulders into the arms; that's why I was getting cold hands (bloodflow getting pinched and stopped, not enough reaching the hands), and the awful-feeling numbness in my forearms and the backs of my hands (as the nerve branch running down my arms was also getting pinched and inflamed).
It's called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome; here's a handy medical illustration! https://i2.wp.com/www.nerdclimbing......?fit=638%2C479
Thankfully, ever since I narrowed down the cause, I've been able to get back to drawing with a steady habit of taking frequent breaks to do stretches and light exercises to release the pressure. As a result, I'm now close to being able to sit down and draw stuff for almost as long as I could before all this started!
My good friend
Caedere has been handling the character coloring and shading for me this month so that I could finish a fair amount of pages without worsening my condition, which has helped immensely. And she's good at it, so it might become a long-term thing, even after I'm back at 100%, because if everything works out well, it could really help me get more done each month.
I'm seeing a specialist and pursuing the best long-term course of action that I can afford, so that this doesn't ever get that bad again. I'm really thankful to everyone who sent well-wishes and encouragement during this honestly pretty frightening time; you guys are great.
FAN DUB
Looks like
AevaRisis has put a good amount of work into starting a fan dub of this comic, so I wanted to bring some attention to it! If you're interested in voicing one of the characters, or just seeing what it's about, then be sure to check it out at:

AUCTIONS
A couple good art buddies of mine will be auctioning off for characters from
Lunate's transformation-heavy setting, Merra, which includes everything from fuzzy sugar-addicted squirrel things to bizarre slimy monstrous bug creatures (super NSFW, obviously), so if that sounds like something you are interested in, check out the auction infopost here:

Or take a look at Lunate's Patreon for a lot more of that stuff!

Wishing I bought that really good voice recorder now. I'll try to find some time to try out. Things just collapsed here.
Is good to hear that you're fine now
Even though we'd want to see your drawings, your health comes first.
Hope that specialist helps a lot too :3
Fuckin' a, I gotta get in on that.
And a fan dub? Soon this will be a TV series. I would watch zhat <.<
Random stupid question, but did you sensation ever include stuff at the level of the shoulder as well? Like sometimes I've had wrist/arm stuff that reminded me of yours but often accompanied by the sensation of coldness in my shoulder specifically and/or as if something was "stuck" there but never sure how to unjam it?
This is weird but seeing link of stuff at the shoulder level in the illustration seriously had me wondering due to a spell of stuff that felt very similar late last month.
Long term, I would recommend some wrist rests (like those mousepads have) for your table - they are specifically designed against carpal tunnel syndrome.
