Just gets worse and worse every day.
The Octoberfever, that is.
NOT FEELIN' SO GREAT, we got back from the trip a couple of days ago, and I had accidentally bitten a hole in the side of my cheek on the 10th. Ever since then it's been excruciating pain and the left side of my face feels swollen and puffy. Eating hurts, talking hurts, and going to sleep is super tricky since I like to roll around and keep accidentally biting the cut during the process.
It's healing though, slowly but surely. Just kinda leaves me in a sour mood when my face constantly aches and throbs on one side.
So I've been lookin' at Halloween stuff on tumblr to make myself feel better! This was todays warm-up, and I told myself I wasn't going to put any pressure into it. Just doodle until my wrist felt loosened up, and hop on to commissions.
And it was really relaxing! It's not easy (ironically), but I highly suggest the whole 'no expectations or pressure' for your work to other artists. Not for everything you do, but this was hella therapeutic and I might try to do stuff like that every once in a while.
So here's some spoopy junk. Nautical October theme, ahoy! Also, I made her axe a BATtleaxe! 8D
Eh?
EHHH?
Cause it's shaped like bat wings and it's a battleaxe and WELL I'M PROUD OF IT. Definitely not an official character item, but I love playing around with how much Autumn I can stuff into everything I draw. And wouldn't it be cute if she rode it around like a broom?

I second this! As fast as the mouth heals it, stuff tends to get infected hella quick when its an actual laceration. If its red and puffy, its most likely infected.
Swish with warm salt water, like a lot. If it doesn't go away you might need antibiotics. Stay vigilant, stay safe!
Aside from that, this great! You get better and better with everything you post.

That's what we're worried about! So I've been doing my best to keep it clean and am doing saltwater rinses. After the last one, it doesn't feel raw and open anymore- still tender and sore, but like a film is already forming over it (sorry I hope that's not gross!)
Thank you for your concern and the advice! I just avoid the mess outta doctors as long as I can, not a good practice- but luckily it seems like I might escape this time.

oh man i do that cheek thing a looot. it's like i will never remember there is flesh there DX no idea, but i totally feel you there x.x. hopefully the pain will start to go away soon. rinsing your mouth with salt water will honestly help the pain and any swelling that you might be having. it'll taste nasty as heck but it REALLY helps mouth pain.
as for the halloween stuff - omg tumblr right? like since july 1st (official halloween season of course) there has been so much autumn/halloween stuff in my feed and it's made me SO. FREAKING. HAPPY. im like fall come noooooow omg. also first year i have a real house - halloween decorations/lights EVERYWHERE. IM SO EXCITED. ok ok...im going to work myself up *calm down* >.>
basically it's awesome to see art from you again <3 i missed seeing it in submissions. also i really hope you feel better soon. take it easy! :3c

I had been drinking a Dasani, and it was nearly empty (also room temp) so I got right up and poured some salt in there. The taste wasn't the worst of it, and it didn't hurt until after I spit out the second mouthful. But the burning stopped and it feels less achey now! I had heard of salt rinses, but I'm so scatterbrained, I hadn't even tried one all this time.
;w; THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE!

good i am glad! well if you're in pain you might not always remember helpful things. i know i don't x3 but as someone who hurts their mouth a lot...i remember that one ._. lol but yeah i'd do it like 1-2 times a day for a couple days or at least until you can feel it closing back up and getting better :D!
you're very very welcome :3c glad i could help someone today! :V
