EXPLANATION
I've been dealing with repetitive strain injuries for a long time. Doctors have said I have Tendonitis and likely Carpal Tunnel to some degree. It hurts really quickly to do digital work and with my primary art being digital and also voluntarily doing a lot of other things (CSzine.com Tigerdile.com Howloween.ca, etc) i spend a lot of time on the computer or on my phone, which also causes the same pain. (I've actually stopped a lot of volunteering because of it. Cutting a few more things once this "season" of it is over so i can focus on recovery and life.)
I've been doing more traditional art because it hurts a lot less, though not entirely, but now after moving, i also have less space to actually do my work and I'm strapped to my current desk setup almost 100% of the time now. So as you can imagine, i don't get enough of a break to heal because of my setup. So, to address this, I'm looking into work station upgrades to help so i don't fuck up my body forever.
Right now I'm looking at a new chair and a monitor arm, to improve my current desk which i can't really replace due to space limits as well as a mini sit/stand desk that will fit right next to my desk (and has some mobility) that will allow me to stand to work on my tablet, which is my primary drawing tool. My Physiotherapist has been pushing for me to get a sit/stand desk for a while and this one is the only one i can really fit in my space without having to loose all the storage space my old desk provides in our small apartment.
I wanted to wait until after the move to finalize my needs because i needed to be here physical to confirm spacing so that's why it's taken so long.
BUT TEMRIN WHY ARE YOU DRAWING MORE WHEN YOU ARE ALREADY IN PAIN?! Because I'm not comfortable asking for straight up donations without doing something in return. I'm not going to turn away flat out donations but i want to give back, hense why the $5 donors get an art bundle thats never been released before. It's something for everyone but the bundle doesn't cost me much time at the comp so it's good!
SO ANYWAYS. This is what's happening and why these are open. I'm catching up on some patreon stuff but also help me get better equipment since i can't replace my squishy meat arms with robot arms.
