Death, from Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, commissioned by the awesome Guy Davis himself, Co-production designer of the film.

The ending of this stunning movie helped me feel less scared during my recent misadventure with cancer, I’m very grateful for getting to do this really fun commission

very happy with this reinterpretation- was hoping I could make her more unsettling as Death can be sometimes, while still being recognizable and serene. Particularly happy about the dual tail stylization.

Just dropping this to say I was thinking about you & hope you are doing alright. <3

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

I’m doing pretty well, keeping up with the exercise I have to do per doctor’s orders, having a bit of a harder time getting back to work, I feel kinda deflated physically and otherwise haha

Had my last radiotherapy session last Friday! It’s been pretty surreal overall and I’m not sure what comes next.

Still need recovery and further tests to go to make sure the evil is vanquished—

Thank you for your support!

Arrived at Mexico City, ready to finish killing off that cancer, wish me luck! It’s been some exhausting couple weeks and that always makes worry and fear rear their ugly head, so I’d love if you could wish me luck, reassurance if you can, and some bravery!

Does anyone else store ridiculous amounts of stress if their body as tension and what do you do to release it? I get physiotherapy sessions but I need something I can do daily too

I got yesterday’s blood work results back, everything is in ideal levels now, so I’m ready for those Radiotherapies!

I’ll be traveling to Mexico City and starting the radios early next week

It’s incredible how much better things are since my tumor removal surgery!

I mean that’s obvious, right? Things -should- be better as that’s the purpose of removing a giant tumor. I just can’t believe how much it’s helped me to get rid / let go of -other- things that were dragging me down. Emotional things, mental things. Maybe it’s all symbolic and it’s just the sheer relief of being rid of something that was tangibly making life harder (a whole pound of tumor) but I sure feel better

My dad had some limited hand radiotherapy and was recommended 5% urea cream to useful effect. Not a follower of yours and have no idea how well that will apply to what you're having, best of luck

Thank you!

My insurance approved my radiotherapies (hurray!) and they’ve finally been scheduled, I’ll be traveling in a week or so and will be away from home for around 45 to 50 days depending on how many I need.

I hear radiotherapy is very tiring and that it will damage my skin, so if you have any tips to help me rest properly and protect my skin let me know!

I’m lucky I have insurance but my copay is still hefty and since this is all away from home it’s going to be a pretty penny for lodging, meals and flights, so if you’d like to help me blast this cancer dead you can support me on Patreon, leave a tip on Ko-fi, get a Commission, or buy something from my Gallery Nucleus Store, I’d just ask you to be patient about the commissions since I’m not sure how tired the process will make me, but every bit helps!
