So the good news is the surgery recovery is going great. The bad news is it doesn't seem like that was the reason for the unbelievably painful fluid build up. The next guess for that is that it's nutritional - that after compensating as long as it could for my deficiencies, something in my body gave out - and it's looking like it'll be another, potentially much longer hospital stay so that they can IV what I need and keep draining the fluid until it stops coming back.
After the five-almost-six months of new and inventive agonies, any solution seems like it'll be a pretty good deal, but obviously this also means more time where I can't do shit, especially art, which is my work. (I can fantasize that this treatment attempt will help my vision problems too, but I'm not holding my breath.) At the moment, the fluid returns to a bedbinding amount a few days after each drain, which impedes most parts of existing.
And now I e-beg: While I can't put out new stuff right now, if you'd like to support me and get fun stuff from the past or accumulate credit for stuff in the future, and in turn give my finances a leg up so I'm less of a burden on the household (I have required a lot of attentive care in the past months), here's some options:
- If you like characters, I've got designs for sale on Toyhouse - I'm open to offers on anything made by just me (meaning, not the collabs), so if you usually wouldn't have the budget, now's your chance!
- If you like bases, I've got a ton for sale on Ko-fi and even more of my older ones available to multiple subscription tiers, also on Ko-fi.
- If you want to start saving up for a future commission, the Ko-fi tiers also store that! It's an unofficial bonus while I'm out of commission (ha), but any amount paid while I'm not actively drawing will be noted down as credit for when I can draw again.
- If you just want to throw a donation my way because you think I'm neat, that's also an option on Ko-fi!
I'm really hoping this cause is the right one and that dealing with it will actually start to fix things, because god I miss drawing so fucking much, and I really appreciate the patience and support I've gotten through it all this far. Been a hell of a rollercoaster. As always, stay safe, love you.

I just got "Said the Black Horse" on kofi. Would you be ok with me printing it at home for personal use (I just prefer reading on paper)? I totally understand if not.

it is 10000% fine, i completely encourage this for all my books, artbooks, regular art, etc. printing at home is a-ok!

Hearing it is less about narrative and more about worldbuilding makes it very appealing, I thought it was going to be a comic or something

I’m generally of the opposite opinion, I don’t much like encyclopaedia style “here’s the worldbuilding presented objectively” stuff, and it goes against my instincts to make it lmao

just read the new book u put out. loved it. i love the diegetic nature of it and the story it tells. needed something like this to inspire me to work on my world, thx :]
thank you :) originally i made it so that people wouldn’t have to trawl through a billion posts in the setting tag to get what it’s all about, but as i started putting the drawings into the pdf i came up with a very light overarching narrative and thought it’d be fun to add it
I compiled a bunch of art about one of my fantasy world building projects into a field-guide themed sketchbook, it's free it's almost 60 pages long it comes with some prose and most of what's in it has never been posted on this blog. and it's about monsters
