Happy Disability Pride Month!!!! I haven't done much new art lately as the fatigue, pain and depression have just been a bit too much to handle but hoping to do some more art soon 💚 #disabilitypride #disabilitypridemonth #furryart #disabledartist

My purple hamster fursona sat in a black wheelchair with rainbow stokes and stickers, holding a bubble tea and sticking their tongue out.
They're wearing black torn trousers with multiple patches, boots, a cropped hoodie with chains and a mesh undertop.

Messy piece with a style I'm playing with, not sure if I'll clean it up, it being messy is fitting but we'll see! (I spelt government wrong but they deserve that) #art #digitalart #politicalart

They're sticking their middle finger up and have one foot up on a speaker covered with a trans rights sticker, BLM fist, Palestine flag and anti AI sticker.

I want to be more open about mental health and help others not feel the need to hide their struggles so here I go: I'm so damn depressed, It hasn't been this bad since I was 17 and I feel like I've lost many years of healing. CW: suicidal ideation #ventart #vent #digitalart #mentalhealth #art 🧵1/3

Enjoy this horse I quickly drew with my mouse to show the weird situation I was in at one point in my teens! It was huge and I was so scared it'd just push me into the river or something, why was it even there?! I ended up scurrying back and going a different route to the shops 😔

I've honestly been so happy with the progress I've made with my art in the last 12 months 💚 Here's some pieces I just feel proud of (a thread because there's a lot actually) [1/3] #digitalart #art #furryart #disabledartist

It's Fibromyalgia Awareness day so I made a little comic sharing a tiny bit of what I go through living with this chronic condition 💜 #fibromyalgia #chronicillness #invisibledisability #disabledartist

A 4 panel comic about Fibromyalgia.
The first panel is a small drawing of myself arms and legs out with lines over the body to display pain. The text says "widespread body pain, tenderness, and sensitivity. Ranging from a variety of types of
aches, jabs, shocks and stabbing pains in my joints ,bones, muscles. As well as an increased sensitivity where poking and touch hurt."

The 2nd panel is a drawing of me trying to move through black sludge, the text says "Fatigue and difficulty sleeping. I wake up constantly through the night, and despite sleeping for up to 12 hours, I feel unrested, stiff and tired. On the worst days moving feels like there are weights strapped to my body, or like moving through sludge, It's exhausting doing the smallest tasks."

The 3rd panel is a drawing of a table with questions marks around a very blurred text saying "table". The other text says "Brain fog slash fibro fog. Difficulty remembering words, information thinking clearly, speaking, concentrating, thinking quickly. It feels like everything I know is hidden in this fog."

The last panel is a drawing of me crying with my hands on my head with the text "temperature sensitivity, weather changes make it worse, headaches slash migraines" around me. The other text says "and so much more...There's a variety of symptoms, some personal that I don't really want to disclose. Some days are worse than others and I'm at a point where the I'm used to a certain level of pain now."
There's some faded text at the bottom saying "These are my own person experiences, it might not be the exact same for everyone with fibromyalgia."

It's been hard to draw, I feel sort of lost with my art and what I want struggling with what I am able to do and my goals that feel out of reach

This art trend felt like the perfect why to show off the style I'm experimenting with and using to learn how to improve my anatomy and art! I haven't been able to because all my other pieces in this style have been vent pieces c:

A 2 panel comic.
Left panel is a cartoon drawing of myself, a white person with short green hair in a black jumper with the text "That's why I decided to draw myself in such a simple style.".
The right panel is a more detailed, sketchy creepy style of myself with the text "Would you have listened to me if I looked like this???".
