Whatever doesnt kill a saiyan makes him stronger.

My hands are finally healing

I have many regrets, but not ready to die just yet.

My hands are still healing overall but I've been slowly practicing and carefully doing digital art again. I'm now able to draw digitally and have no ill effects or pain afterwards, only the occasional soreness or stiff arm muscles. this is great news!

I'm still not fully healed, and trust me that i am being extremely careful and not working myself to death like i used to (im overall a lot more healthy too, which is helping) and im taking several day-long breaks between working/practice, and avoiding repetitive motion as best i can.

I still cant bend my right wrist at all, but i've been scheduled to see a specialist in half a year :/ so i still cant do everyday things with my right hand for a while. The doc gave me some strong medicine that's taken the daily pain away at least, which has been a massive relief. I've also been wearing a wrist brace to bed so that i dont move my wrist in my sleep, and that's been helping a lot as well.

Despite not being able to move my wrist, i can draw digitally due to my method of digital drawing. I still can't draw with pencil on paper very well though, unfortunately. My hand gets fatigued easily while trying, and it shakes a lot now. perhaps half a year was enough to atrophy my pencil-specific muscles. But thats only really a worry for my Patreon, not Newgrounds since sketches arent really a thing here.

I think while to being unable to draw for 7 months my mental Special Beam Cannon has been charging without me realizing. And since im finally able to create again I'm really happy with what I've been able to start making-- probably also in part due to the gargantuan amount of golden-era 80s-90s anime and Showa era Kamen Rider I've been watching while I was unable to do anything else at home besides sit and take walks. It's given me a lotttt of inspiration back. I'm glad I've been able to finally watch a lot of older series I've been meaning to watch for literal decades, lol.

I will start posting art again soon, and just keep in mind that im still injured and cant work very fast, plus i have to keep up with my patreon as the highest priority, which ill be posting new art to as always.

tl;dr new art soon and its gonna be even better than before
