#Gabriel is my beloved immunocompromised OC so it gets…frequently and very sick haha. It’s a dual thing: genetic immunodeficiency and HIV (which is fine once he’s on meds tho! But before that he got brain tuberculosis and almost died 😅) She also just gets sick a lot with 4 kids in the house too 🤧

A washy watercolor of Gabriel, a skinny Filipino with short curly hair and full lips, thick eyebrows, and freckles all pver their face and body. Lines flowers decoate the background as they lift their shirt up playfully.

Uh oh! Your original character has gotten sick! How is their immune system? Do they get sick easily, or are they very fit? How do they take care of themselves when they're ill? Do they get help? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Alright, it was suggested to me that I actually crowdfund the out of pocket cost for the lumbar MRI since my insurance keeps denying the day before the appt even w/ it as an important order. I will have more info in the replies as well. I was honestly hesitant but... ko-fi.com/portaltohades

Right now, I'm currently in need of a lumbar MRI but due to insurance denials and other roadblocks, I may be forced to pay out of pocket. Since trying to get it twice now, my symptoms have significantly worsened over the last few months. After discussing my options with friends, I've agreed to make a kofi goal to cover the MRI, bills, transportation, and a small cushion for other necessities. Literally any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have an art book for #tyreecomic ! It's 62 pages at $10! Not only does it have art but I have some brief guides into my page process as well. There is even stuff I havent released publicly in it! It's a great way to support me currently and get a glimpse into my obsession ko-fi.com/s/f5c5cebbd6

A good health update! My GP actually took the report from my private internal medicine specialist seriously and is sending me to a public internal med doctor who can coordinate all the tests I need to get diagnosed. And even said he wrote the referral as high priority so I won’t need to wait long!

Am I totally missing something on the PPWR EU packaging requirements…? I read the EU commission’s fact sheet and it looks like only packaging producers (not users, like those of us who buy mailers and ship with them) are liable for waste management.

A screenshot of the EU PPWR commission page reading ‘Obligations: Producers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of their packaging, including waste management. With additional bullet points that clarify this includes sorting and recycling, eco-friendly design, and financial transparency.

Mmmm I want to do a few color-focused landscape studies with my new acrylic markers (but I have too much focused work I gotta do this week for a contract job…good news is that my fatigue is a little less overwhelming right now! Still too much work tho lol; I just want to sleep and make art)

Had a phone appointment with my doctor today and he rushed me a bit, but did say he’ll look at the report and test orders from my specialist, so hopefully he’ll actually prescribe those tests in the public system so I can finally get a diagnosis. Insha’Allah. 🤲

Small update: My specialist is sending me for a lot of tests, which hopefully I can do through our public system (prayers for my doctor to take this seriously are welcome!!) Otherwise all the tests will cost over 5000€…which is not something I can even dream of affording 🫠

Had such a great time working in this variant cover for Quoth the Raven Star Trek: Deviations! I’m a big Poe fan so it was so fun coming up with concepts inspired by his work. Ultimately we decided to go with this Oval Portait piece! Make sure you pre-order your copy!! #illustration 🌹✨

Illustration of M’Benga and his daughter Rukiya as depicted if Star Trek Tsrange New Worlds. The image shows them in a Victorian oval portrait set against a Victorian wallpaper with the Enterprise integrated in the pattern. Three candles sit in front of the portrait casting light in the characters as if they were affected by the “real world” lighting. In the other side in front of the portrait is a vase of Red Asphodel flowers.
