Happy New Year!

Happy New Year with a new you! Finally finished up that personal illustration.

WITH A SPEED PAINT VIDEO TO BOOT. https://youtu.be/rQw6Wyv7ZOo


Some of you might know I’ve been dealing with Topical Steroid Withdrawal for like 2 years now (month 21 yay). I made a ton of progress, my skin isn’t nearly as terrible as it was this time last year. So here’s to shedding red skin, healing up, feeling better, and getting over this intense hurdle. My hands are still itchy but I’ve been feeling a lot better about drawing in general these last few weeks.

2015 Self-Portrait

New year, new self-portrait. I'm starting Month 8 of Topical Steroid Withdrawal and it's currently affecting my face for the most part. So this is generally what I feel like, and wish I could cover myself up with anything to make myself feel more… pretty/confident/less awful/comfortable/peaceful/anything but what I currently feel right now. Vanity has to get thrown out the window during this beast of a condition. Again, here’s hoping for a speedy healing time from here on out.

Insomnia

My Topical Steroid Withdrawal managed to let up a weeee bit for a few days so I could at least complete another personal illustration! Drawing’s been tough with blisters/cracks, and swelling all over my hands but dangit I’m not gonna let it completely stop me.

One of the main side effects of TSW, sadly, is horrific insomnia. Even when you’re awake in the dead of the night, the world of social media like Twitter or Facebook (and Tumblr haha) is right there with you… constantly.
