#ok to reblog
#the skeleton model that i traced for this was provided by the incredible kiku @kikunai whom you can find right here on tumblr!
#so uh. This is a piece about chronic fatigue although the original idea i had for it drifted a bit as soon as I started coloring the linear
#(i really enjoy shading and lighting things and got a bit carried away here but i stand by my choice because this is my favorite thing
#that i've ever drawn)
#anyways. i often feel especially lately with school being back in season that my bones are leaden with this sort of. weariness. theyre heav
#it weighs on our mental health and energy a lot and although there's a couple of reasons we have been given for it
#that doesn't remove the fact that this is still a thing that affects us in a very real way day to day although we are good at masking it.
#often i come home to find that i do not have the physical mental or creative energy to work on things i really want to
#especially project: nexus which i feel extra bad about even though i can't help it because i just started it so recently
#it is a mild to moderate struggle to make it day to day and i just. wanted to represent this somehow
#my original concept for this was a skeleton with some black goop gunk whatever leaking from its joints
#but as i started adding the cracks and coloring them gold (a personal touch; kintsugi is a concept that is very dear to us)
#i realized that the focus here was less on the condition itself and more on the body that it afflicts.
#so i put it into a spotlight.
#ironic i know since very little people acknowledge this irl or even know it exists at all but i added rim lighting. I added color gradients
#I colored the lineart and made it all fancy and even added a flare for the head to get the point across that even at its core; disability i
#a performance. this is not implying that disabilities are fake in fact this is the opposite of that. i wanted to show that with disabilitie
#especially i think in my personal opinion the invisible ones
#we are all masking at least a little bit during the vast majority of the day. humans are social creatures and it is only when we are alone
#or with someone we deeply trust where we allow ourselves to be who we truly are without fear and even then that can be rare
#so i wanted to show this bit of the soul in as broad a limelight as i could. idk this is a really abstract piece and i dont know if anyone
#will even get it but it matters to me at least. and even though we've been largely bedridden for the past week i think that's okay
#we will get it figured out. all of us. okay? okay. i love you. i fucking love you. we are going to fucking make it
#(also the xes over the eyes are because i thought they looked cool they have no deeper meaning at least i think they dont
#actually i think they do but i cant put it into words idk. Art is subjective assign your own meaning i'm gonna go get a shower)
