Wrist pain and headaches (oh my)
Posted 6 years agoFor the past couple years my work output has been 1 big piece every couple of months.
But when i got really inspired during july (artfight), i was doing a lot more finished pieces in a smaller time frame. I think this really aggravated my hand cause from my thumb to my elbow really BURNED like heck. And at work, bagging people items was also hurting ridiculously.
I bought a small compress glove for some small support. Now I've started doing some stretches/exercises with my thumb.
Its been on and off bad. Somedays are fine, or it wont hurt till evening.
Is this what tendonitis is like? :c it seems like it happened all at once, but maybe its because i really have no muscles to support me. Maybe it never got to this point because of all the rest i took between art pieces.
Maybe because i slowed my pace down when it comes to making art, did inlose stamina?
Also on topic of physical pain, I've been getting semi frequent headaches.; It might be because i need a new eye prescription, that has been a cause of migraines for me growing up. I just had a 3 day long headache and it was terrible :'c. Sometimes i still feel slightly achey like it might lapse back into it again, but I've been good so far!!!
Trying to find a good way to rest and still make art! I really did want to go back to making more art frequently.
What im up to! (2019)
Posted 6 years agoI know I've been pretty dead on here, turns out i go through some pretty heavy artblocks almost yearly (I've finally realized/acknowledged lol)
I've been using zine projects as a way to propel myself to make art. It works for the most part and i really do love the zines I've applied for, they also push me to create backgrounds.
2018 was a real doozy, personal-life wise. Things are much better in that aspect, and with the weather getting nicer im hoping it will make me more energized and motivated to draw more often. I'll try to create more personal art and sketches (maybe more a quantity over quality thing to get back into it?)
I'll upload the few pieces I've done in 2018! : >
I really want to try and take commissions on in the future, maybe if im more active ppl will be interested > v <
Last summer i got a sceen tablet, doing linework is so much faster and easier on it!! I love it!!
Oh, also a good thing that's happened is that im engaged now! Wow!

Hi y'all, im still alive
Posted 8 years agoSorry i went through one of those 'away from FA' phases.
The only activity for the past 6ish months has been me trying to sell the shit out of charas i dont use anymore (and even ones i wanted to keep but needed money)
I was in a really tough financial spot and honestly, FA/toyhouse helped me power through the worst of it.
The other reason i dont post much on here is...well. what i've been drawing lately has taken a great shift. I hardly draw anthros anymore.
I really got into Voltron (ahah) and draw a ton of that, and mostly just non anthro things.
I guess i did that before too, but now thats what i /solely/ do < :3c
I wasnt sure if anyone who had followed me would be interested in it but.... EH. i''ll prolly start posting things again.
Its gonna be...mostly voltron xDD
Im suuuuper active on twitter (midori250)
I REALLY enjoy casually talking to people, even if it isnt often, ( I mostly send them links to things i find funny interesting)
And here on FA.... no one really talks to me, or comments on any of my things... its kind of lonely??
Partly my fault as well, im not the type who reaches out first.
but if you can manage to talk to me for like, any 3 days, you're already on my small social 'friends list' lol
Want to casual rp? Make couples together?
Posted 9 years agoHi all!
I've been finding it fun to design new characters for newly made up plot lines and stuff and was wondering if anyone else was interested in causally rping with me???
I like coming up with general story ideas together and making charas to fit them and watching it grow/expand.
It gets me inspired to draw them haha
Note or message me?? :3c
Also sorry I don't use Skype, I'm mostly on my phone. So note system here would be preferable ; v ;;
Also I made a twitter to send ppl sketches of all the stuff I draw from rps if that interests you. It's endless_vortex
Also sorry for lack of art here on fa, we still are waiting for internet in our new place.
Very shaken up
Posted 9 years agoI seriously almost hit a jaybiking cyclist.
I was just driving normally, it's night, goin the residential speed limit
And I'm coming up on this green light and out of no where this cyclist springs the fuck out. And I almost didn't register him cause he blended into the darkness and I fucking slam on my brakes and he hopped off his bike aS well. I didn't hit anything BUT I WAS SO FUXKING CLOSE like a moment later and I would have. I just yelled out my open window OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU OKAY DID I HIT YOU ARE YOU OKAY????
And he said" I just got off I'm fine" somthin like that ans started walking away with his bike??? I'm in the middle of this small neighborhood intersection just staring at him with my jaw dropped not knowing what just happened . He's just strolling away. Omfg... I've never been so scared.
screams into the void

what would you do with a crap ton of money?
Posted 9 years agoWith the buzz about the lottery thing lately, its made me think what would I do if I had a lot of money??
Well, I know what I would do xDD
I would want my dad to have better shoulder surgery, and to build him that second garage he wants in the backyard.
and basically make is so my parents don't neeeed to work anymore.
Give back to my grandparents somehow because they've given me so much in life and I love them to death.
fricken college debt, heck branching out to cover my closest friends college debts > 3 >
Moving in with my boyfriend in a nice apartment.
then luxurious things like cintiqs, and any merchandise ive ever wanted xD
taking classes to learn new things.
maybe a person to help with meals (that exists, fancy people) cause I suck at eating 2 meals a day. ecttttt
But more so I would just be like LOOK MA, DAD. I just want them to be proud. they would be the first people I would want to go running to.
I love dreaming about these things.
what about any of you??
miraculous ladybug, anyone?
Posted 9 years agoAnyone out there watching me into miraculous ladybug?? I just got into it new years. (yes that is what me and the squad did, lmao)

Zero Escape 3!! preorder watch *grabby hands*
Posted 10 years agoI AM SO EXCITED I finally managed to get one.
I was years behind when 999 came out (cause I didn't know about the game then dur) and just missed the vlr by a couple months BUT GOD DAMN IT NOT THIS TIME.
now I just gotta wait for over a year LMAOOoo
I hope the game is great.
My whole day has been crappy except for thissss.
yaayy,!
Posted 10 years agoEDITTT: I passed! Yaay!! I practiced some parallel in my neighbors car this morning to get used to it and I aced that part. I effed up on the 90° backup parking cause I'm dumb and could have done it in two moves If I didn't panic about it,(it was the very first thing of the road test, so ,get it out of my system I guess)
Idk what's WRONG WITH ME THIS WEEK
but I've been getting my days Mixed up. On Sunday for most of the day in thought it was Monday. And I had s worn for the past couple weeks that the 5th WAS A WEDNESDAY BUT ITS ACTUALLY TOMORROW.
And I have a driver's test.
And I'm going to be taking over my parents old car they don't use as of recently, so I requested to see the little insurance card I'd have to show the instructor, ONLY TO FIND THAT ALL OF OUR CARS DON'T HABE THE UPDATED S CARDA LMAO??? Searches all over the house can't find them. Online copies don't count it has to be the card sooo.
We had to ask our nice neighbors if we could use their car. SighsSs
I'm going back and forth about being positive and negative about all this
LIKE FUCK YEAH I HAVE NO DOUBT I CAN DO THIS SHIT
AND then there is part of me like I have so much riding on this of course I'm going to fuck it up.
Just, having that day less of preparation and having to use someone else's car last second really mAkes me feel slightly unprepared
But in positive light I've been hopping between three vehicles ranging from car to suburban size. But I've only ever paralleled in my one car. So I'm worried about that. A little more than half my attempts at paralleling are really good, so I hope when I do it it will be one of my better ones uuuUUUGHHH
Please I'm just so ready for my dl. Sobs

omg i cant baha
Posted 10 years agoI was put on hold on the phone during a call.
AND THE HOLD MUSIC is so hilarious. just when I think it cant get any funkier, IT DID
it was some chill music at first, but then some pan flutes started playing, and then It got a funky fresh beat going, then a brass instrument like a tuba started playing???
I cant explain it but It was so funny. it kept switching it up every so often (I got to hear a lot of it since I was on hold for like 5 minutes)
I laughed every time a new part played. I was like THERE IS NO WAY THERE CAN BE MORE TO THIS SONG.

ACTUALLY. I THINK IM GOOD
Posted 11 years agoI really did bust to get the assignments in. Even though I really did suck for mostly ALL of them.
The instructor is really nice ;____;
and when I told him my circumstances at midterms he became very lenient through the rest of the quarter.
Also, on my part, I actually contacted him. I sucked up my social anxiety and called him on the phone.
And he just called me back again giving me an update on where my grade was after he graded my late work, and since it's not a milestone class (meaning you have to pass with a C or higher) I can scrape by!!!
I could barf rainbows and glitter i'm so HAPPY AND RELIEVED. I had a major break down and kind of an acceptance moment that I would fail.
My grandpa even called me to say that even if I failed that they would not be less proud of me, and that I have my whole life ahead and that it doesn't matter, I could take it again. and not to worry about disappointing them or my parents. ect ect ; __ ;
I actually really needed to hear that because I've been keeping my failing all to myself, its just one of my fears to end up a failure to my family, and I guess anybody. and the stress was just eating me from the inside out, and all my levels across the board were being dragged down.
