Here is a link to the "doodle hour" -suggestion guidelines❤️
COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN
Right! Life update! Got approved by the docs to try out a wheelchair, did a little test run and it'll definitely make things easier going forward🥰🥰
I'm working with my doc and study councilor to try and contact school accessibility people (the people in charge of classroom planning/reservation) to try and make my return to school in September possible.
Things are starting to look up finally✨💕
"Sorry, legally, we're not obligated to offer help (so we won't)❤️" Yeah sounds about right, I waited 2 months to have this stupid meeting.
Man, I sure wish the healthcare system would be easier to navigate and not requiring me to spend every free moment I have having to research things myself and applying for things. Just been informed that I need a 2 page written paper about what's wrong and why it makes working difficult by Monday, and they've booked 3 meetings for that day discussing if I really need support with my school work.
They really want me to detail every thing that makes things difficult and come up with solutions. But I want the meeting with the experts? to maybe get some idea of what those solutions could be.
I don't know, I just really hoped to get a day off but looks like that's a no.

Hello, I hope you are having a good day :)
I saw your recent art with Dani pedrosa and the turtle. It's so cute, I love it.
I just got into MotoGP a little over a year ago and I'd like to ask what this drawing is based on? The tags said turtle race and the background picture looks so funny. Do you mind giving the context because I couldn't find anything regarding it?
Hello! And I'm glad you liked my little doodle <3
Here is a link to the turtle training video! It's the "rabbit and the turtle" story re-told to raise awareness of childhood poverty for save the children.
Getting another idea for a video edit that I don't have time nor the talent for... :PPPP

A lot of people have been asking how i shade my pieces, or where I start working from, so I hope this helps someone :D Have a lovely day -R
Some more tips and tricks I feel like got left out of the last one💚 I hope these are helpful🥰
Decided to try and use my energy to do a load of laundry, ended up using all of it trying to cram the machine hatch open because the inner tray had fallen off and completely jammed the entire thing resulting in like 4 different errors and a locked hatch...
Machine had been left in a weird half open state which had resulted in like... 40cm of water inside (ew) which I spent an hour draining. I think I'm just... going to leave it alone for now and just give up. I'll go back to bed, cancel today and try again tomorrow
We're having a snow storm and all of public transit is in chaos. 8cm of snow, streets are full of ice and slush. My boss is absolutely blasting Christmas music.
Hi, just wanted to pop in and say sorry for no art lately. I'm trying to work with my PT to find ways to keep working with less strain. Right now I have a couple of commissions under me and I'm trying to work on those as best I can (I know the wait times are a bit longer right now and I do apologize for that).
I'm trying to get my studies, work and sick leave paper work done, and I'm hoping I can get government aid to afford my meds, since my living benefits will be cut by 80€/month due to government re-working the student benefits act. I am still working somewhat full time at the school and with the children's social services. It doesn't really pay much but the little extra income is necessary right now.
I really want to get back to art, I see all of the wonderful art this community makes and it inspires me to no end. So thank you for sharing all of that.
I hope tomorrow brings more answers, I hope tomorrow is brighter.
Love you all, and hope to see you soon Tuomo
