Update!

Posted by BastianConst - September 10th, 2023


Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting an update in a while (Holy s*** it's been over a year since the last update). Things have been a little weird this last year but I can now kinda write how things are.

So, update one. Hand/ arm is still messed up. I have seen doctors both public and private. I have been to physiotherapy and even had acupuncture done. No one seems to know the cause or solution and nothing seems to have helped. Using my right hand still sends pains to shoot up through both my right hand and right arm which is preventing me from drawing for long periods of time. I can still use my hand thankfully and there seems to be no degradation to my motor functions or loss of muscle mass, but drawing is still a difficultly. I can still draw, but it's painful to do so and having this issue has really sucked out the fun I once had to draw, hence the long hiatuses. I don't plan on quitting to draw and post online, but for the time being all I can say is "I will draw and post again when my arm functions again which will happen when it happens". A bit of poopy answer but this is what people keep telling me. It will get better when it gets better. I still don't even know how it started which is strange too.

Update two. For the last couple of months I have stopped working as a freelance illustrator and have been living off savings and seeing doctors. I was fortunate to have the support of my family and friends through these uncertain times and to have been able to work right out of Uni. However, I have been feeling bad not doing anything for the last couple of months. So I decided to apply and teach English In Japan (Okinawa, not my choice). Currently I have been here for 3 weeks so far. There have been several issues I have face while working for this company, but I might talk about these issues maybe another time. It's too soon to complain and I will see if things get better by the end of this month. Also I haven't had internet for like a month which is why I have been silent for the past month (sorry about that).

Update three. As for the future of posting artwork online, I have by no means quit. I am currently just waiting for my hand to get better and will continue to post when my right hand/ arm gets better. I didn't really feel like posting simple sketches online but who knows that might change now that I have decided to finally open up a little. Again I am sorry for keeping you all in the dark, I am really bad at sharing how I feel online.

I would like to thank everyone who has reached out to me and still decided to stick around despite my absence. I really appreciate all of you guys your support. Also, thankyou to the new people who have followed me and stuck around despite me not posting anything. You're all wonderful.

Hopefully the next update post will be in less than a year XD.
