A shaded digital illustration of CryptidTiger's OCs on a picnic date by a large tree, which separates them. On the left side is a tiefling woman named Kihdavora, who holds a picnic basket. On the right side of the tree, her half-elf wife Gaeri is walking over tree roots to meet her. The shading on both girls and the background showcases the light peeking through the tree's leaves. The tree is covered in moss, and in a large hole on the left a worm is hiding. A blue butterfly rests on the right side of the tree near Gaeri. In the background, a slightly mossy half-wall made of cobblestone and iron spikes separates the women from the graveyard. Beyond the graveyard is the other side of the fence and a large wall that borders the town. The sky is cloudy as if rain is coming. CryptidTiger's username is carved into the tree bark. A shaded digital painting of CryptidTiger's OC Cerise as a DJ. Cerise has pink hair with ends that blend into red. There are big puffy ponytail extensions in instead of her usual drills. She wears a black sports top or bra with a blue band on the bottom, and matching high-waisted shorts. She also wears a pink super crop top jacket that has yellow stars on the arms and above the breast cutout, with the latter having a simplified rainbow trail behind it. She is holding her headphones on with one hand while spinning a record with the other. She is standing behind DJ turntables in a club or rave setting. There are multi-colored lights over her with fog around them, as well as metal lighting truss (towers). There is also fog creeping around her DJ booth. Cerise has a wink and a big smile on her face. A digital painting of a tall grass field at night, under the full moon. An anthropomorphic black cat with a pumpkin on their head and a bandage on their tail is prancing on their hind legs through the field.

I'm so tired of having whatever illness is kicking my ass rn 🥲 I was feeling better yesterday and now my chest feels akin to when my cat is putting all her weight onto her paws directly on my ribs/sternum

I relate to this a lot. This combined with my terrible self steem and imposter syndrome gets me thinking "why should I keep drawing, I'm not making anything good or special anyway" a lot of the time.
If you struggle with this... PLEASE spend less time on social media and more doing things you like!

Luckily, I've gotten much better at this lately!
A three panel comic titled "Portion control". A person is looking at art online. At first they are motivated "That's some interesting art... Maybe I should try that too?" They keep looking at more art and feel motivated: "Wow!! These artists are so good! I can't wait to go practise so I can catch up!". As they look at even more art, they get overwhelmed: "They're so many... Why am I even trying...?"

🎉Introducing a new character!!!!!🎉

This is Saitama the Tanuki! He's named for my home prefecture, and he once tried to break into my dog food storage, leaving behind his tiny pawprints all over the place...

Do you want to see him as a plush? 🧡

Watercolor sketch of a rainbow cheetah.

I rarely plan these out. I let the art reveal itself to me as I work! Sometimes you grab a rainbow pencil, and things take an unexpected turn.

when I finish this its going to be so funny comparing with the original sketch, which is just:

Sketchbook doodle of the sunshine boy ☀️
A sketchbook is pictured, and on the page is Luffy from one piece on his gear 5 form. He is holding his hands up to his chest and light is flowing from his scar. The background is bright around his head and darker the farther it gets from him.

A really easy New Year's resolution you can make is to try adding better alt text to your images.

Even if you don't do it 100% of the time, wholeassing alt text on some of your works means accounts like mine will share it!

Anyway, have some ADHD tips from your friendly retired mental health worker. Many of these also help with other MI too. Thread:

- Diet and exercise will not cure your MI but *can* make your symptoms easier to manage

I'm super compelled to paint and make wood carvings like this one. They have no home and make me no money at all. Hopefully one day I'll hang them all on a wall together
