Oh definitely. I've been travelling so not added to this recently but I'm thinking like...blue or purple atm. Trying to balance out the rainbow.
It'll be easier once I'm actually doing it because I can fiddle around with the colours on the page, so to speak.

WIP. I'm experimenting with coloured lineart! I like it but it's time consuming? I'm not sure if I'll continue it with other art yet. Probably sometimes yes sometimes no.
Anyways, I saw a post a while ago about the lack of art of people with facial differences? So this is a wip of a woman with pfeiffer syndrome, which I hope I am doing justice.
In my research it seems like pfeiffer syndrome can affect breathing, and I found a fair few accounts of people with tracheostomies, some permanant and some temporary, and apparently it can often affect hearing? (Also ngl, I realised I've never drawn one, so obviously I took the opportunity.) I used some references to stylise the differences - in the hands I tried (tried because I'm not sure if it shows well) to show the shorter fingers and a couple of...I'm going to say fused fingers because I can't find the right word right now, sorry. Then in the face, since, well, craniofacial. The eyes seem to be the most distinctive feature, so I tried to make sure I got those down (there was a lot of me debating on how to make my anime-esque/cartoony style eyes appear more "bulging"), but I also tried to show the forehead and such.
Anyways, I hope you find my thoughts on it so far interesting :) And again, feedback on both the representation and image id will always be received happily.
Now to decide what colour her hair is going to be...

I need to work on my colouring, imo. And backgrounds...
Anyways. Been having a flare up. Been thinking about rollators. Don't think I'll get one but had fun imagining how one could customise one. May follow up with other funky rollators.
Hope the image description in the alt text is ok, I am not very well and it makes my brain muddled.
(Edit: btw the fabric is real fabric. My blue badge holder is made from it!!)

Lil traditional art piece. It was meant to be for Valentines...but eh, it's February still. Hopefully I do this digitally soon (I have a new tablet on the way!! Very excited but very nervous too.)
The image description is now in the alt text! I saw a poll and a lot of posts/comments that implied it was prefered? Let me know if you'd like me to do it as I usually do instead, I'm not vision impaired so just trying to listen to those who are!

A WIP. Disabled Vocaloids, anyone?
I heard it's better to put image descriptions in the tumblr alt text feature. If you'd rather I do it my usual way instead, let me know!

I realised when I do amputee/limb difference characters I tend to make them acquired differences...so obviously I wanted to start diversifying that.
