Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted anything in nearly 2 months. I mentioned in my latest drawing that it had to do with me working a summer job,(which is over now) and being too engrossed in a 70 hour game the entire time, but that's besides the point.

I might have to try to lay off the computer usage a little...because well, 140 hours of holding a PSP in your hands for 6 hours a day as well as constant work with sculpting ceramics/clay for 8 hours a day at work, my posture, and the hours upon hours I put into drawing may be beginning to take its toll on me.

What I mean is, it may be beginning to damage my hands. Specifically the nerves.

Yesterday I woke up with this weird almost stinging feeling at the tip of my right thumb, like there was a cut or something there. I thought it was nothing at first and would ware off in a few minutes but it instead would last the entire day. What got me worried was if I put my hand in a certain position or grabbed something in a certain way, pain would shoot up my entire right hand. That got me a little worried, and this isn't the first time its happened. My mom said it could be something wrong with my wrist, my elbow, or even my neck, that it doesn't have to hurt there specifically and I'm just feeling it carry over to the tip of my finger, but it could be the sign of nerve damage.

Its nothing bad at the moment, but its got me a bit paranoid for obvious reasons.

Take it easy. I think everyone around here would rather wait for you to let your body heal and be able to see art later, than to end up not seeing your art at all. Just be sure to write down any ideas you may get so that you can draw them later on.

Plus, it wouldn't be the first time something like this happened, so most people should understand.
