Does anyone else here suffer from pain in their fingers/hands/wrists? I've felt some pain/soreness in the joints of my fingers for the past two months (maybe longer), and recently my wrists have begun to ache as well. I've felt a bit of aching in my left arm every so often too. If anyone's experienced this kind of thing, could I ask for some advice and home treatments for your hands that work for you?

The only thing I've tried to care for them is wearing these arthritis gloves by IMAK, and I only use it when I'm drawing on the computer. I draw with my right hand, but I've only kept my left hand gloved when drawing on the computer, the hand I use to spam the Undo button l: I found that after a while of drawing on Photoshop, the joints in my left fingers become.. robotic in movement? Like when I bend my fingers, it's not a smooth movement; they rather "snap" into place. Wearing the glove helps to prevent that, but I hate how it suffocates my hand.

I haven't seen a doctor yet.. I do know that my mom's hands and arms have been in serious pain from inflamed joints, and she's been getting medical treatment for that. I think she was told she has rheumatism, so it's possible I could have a genetic predisposition to develop that condition too. So any word of advice would be immensely appreciated! ; ;

She's Yours Now by pockyy She Really is a Funny Girl by pockyy You Came to the Wrong Neighborhood by pockyy Do You See What I See? by pockyy
$20 for a full-body human character with a minimal background
- Add $12 each for additional characters in the same image.
- Anthros don't count. But if there's anything else humanoid that you might want drawn, please don't hesitate to ask! Just send a picture and I'll let you know if it's okay.


perfect neopets by pockyy babies by pockyy
$12 for animal minis
- These will have very simple shading and a transparent background.
- Even though I have Neopets in my examples, I will not draw Neopets!
- Slots:
1. PeachTabby
2. KaceyMeg
3. Hinatachan

+ I reserve the right to raise prices depending on how difficult a character's design is. I've never run into anyone with difficult designs when taking commissions for human characters, but I know designs for animal characters can get pretty complicated so I'm going to go ahead and enforce this now for both. I don't think I'll ever charge more than $5, but it really just depends on the character!
+ All payment is through Paypal.

Send me a note if you're interested or have any questions! o/

SCAD + AWA

3 min read
I started college on Monday at SCAD! I have mixed feelings about these past 4 days so I don't want to stamp a single adjective on how it's been.. so here are my thoughts on college in list form:

- I hate commuting. I know my way to Atlanta and back, but I still get butterflies before I start driving. I hate that I have to waste time sitting through traffic. Definitely gonna try to get a dorm next year |:
- Ironically, my favorite class is Public Speaking. I have a really energetic professor, and in the two classes we've had together we've done some exercises to get us out of our comfort zones. They're more like games, really; I'll spare you the details, but I've enjoyed all of them! It's a fun class and it actually motivates me to get better at public speaking.
- I think once every week I have this thing called First Year Experience? It's not really a class, but it's supposed to advise you during your first year of college with things like time management, getting involved, etc. My only qualm about this is that they give you a "passport" with events you have to attend and get stamped. I wish we didn't have this since I was planning to do a couple of things in this booklet anyway; now it just feels like a chore D:
- Drawing II's been a pretty predictable class. Our first project is to draw a still life using a ballpoint pen, which we didn't hesitate to get started on. Just your standard art class P:
- I will never love Design I. My professor's been cool so far, but hnngghh DESIGN ;_;

Yeah I dunno. I wish I could get into the things pertaining to my major right away ):
School and driving take a lot out of me so I've only been able to get on the computer so often. Sorry for being so quiet on here and those requests D: I know I said I wouldn't promise anything, but it would be cool to get them all done anyway.. I still wouldn't expect anything though; school's been keeping me pretty busy.

On that note, I probably shouldn't go to AWA this weekend but I am! I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I'm dressing up as a Team Rocket grunt, which has to be one of the easiest cosplays I can manage haha "orz I'd love to cosplay as Knives Chau one day +D+

So hey, anyone get the new Professor Layton game?? If you're fanatic about it as I am then you've probably already beaten the game, but I've yet to finish it because of school so NO SPOILERS PLS ;_; I'm also one of those people who have to take the time to find every hidden thing before moving on "orz
I can't believe we're getting a second Gyakuten Kenji so soon!! TBH I'm not super excited as I was for the first game, but it's still awesome news. I'd be more enthusiastic if they had announced a sequel to Apollo Justice.
I just looked at the new Pokemon for B/W (slowpoke.jpg) kjfdg I REALLY LIKE THEM. DEFINITELY WANT THAT KNIGHT-LOOKING THING ON MY TEAM. AND MAYBE THE TURTLE. I need this game right now kjdfgsl

should probably start my homework now

Gonna take a stab at requests! I wasn't expecting that many people to say anything so I don't know if I'm gonna do all of them? There's no guarantee I'll get to draw something for everyone so I insist on avoiding art trades, though I appreciate the offers! I'm not really particular to any one medium atm so you'll have to bear with me, these could vary from sketches on paper, photoshop drawings or something done in oekaki. or some other traditional means, even!
In short, expect the unexpected D: This is what I meant when I said requesters need to be really understanding! I just wanted to take requests to get back into drawing and learn to enjoy it again, not to wear myself out "orz

I'll only be taking requests of human characters (no anthros please!). Unless you're okay with getting silly quickies like these, I'll take quad requests too. Just know that kind of style doesn't really work on complicated designs. In any case, it might be safe to give me both human and quad characters to choose from.

Ooh I forgot to add: I'm not sure about doing group pictures, but ask anyway! It'll take longer to draw more than one character, but sometimes it's easier to come up with poses depending on the characters' backgrounds.

I.. think that's it. If you linked me to refs in my last post already, could you please post them again if you're still interested? Sorry for the trouble ; ; I'm also sorry if I don't get to yours!! orz orz orz
