Of frustrating developments
Hi. I have a seizure disorder brought on by pain and stress, which means I need to be sedated to have any dental work done, and trauma relating to a dentist giving me an aggressive cleaning while I was suffering an infection and attending an appointment exclusively for a consult. I have had a fully sheared off tooth in my lower jaw for a year now, and have been looking for a dentist that:
-Will sedate me, even partially. Complete knock out preferred but if they can make it so I feel next to nothing, perfect.
-Is covered by my insurance (rare)
-Is trauma informed and works well with trans patients (not rare here in Seattle)
It got to the point where I can't afford to be completely unwilling to take that matter in hand anymore, and have to settle for two out of three. I can't risk having seizures, I can't be unable to care for myself for any extended length of time. So I've settled for a specialty clinic that can handle sedation and has excellent reviews of being able to work with disabled and trans individuals.
That means my dental care is coming out of pocket.
I received the estimate for my dental procedure. 350. It will cost me 350 to get the remnants of the tooth properly removed in a way that is safe for me.
I do not have 350 available. My care credit only has 260 on it. I have no guarantee that I'll be able to split the payment between my care, and the one my former partner and I share, and no idea how much is on that one.
I need to pull that 350 together asap. My procedure is on the 31st. I have 10 days to do that.
350 is just a little bit under the cost of three fully rendered commissions. I have a list of things I need to finish, but my other commissioners are very understanding and I'm sure they'd be willing to allow me to prioritize anything that comes of this.
This is my art tag, which you can consult for references of my completed works, as well as sketch works and work in progress processes.
Fully rendered images are 120 each.
Character design sheets are 100 each.
Monochrome rendered images are 60 each
Sketches with coloring are 40 each
Sketches in monochrome scale are 30
Inks are 20
Sketches are 10
There are no size limits as far as bust or figure. My hard limits are not suitable for work for people I don't have a previous connection with, and any romantic minor/adult ships. Other than that if you ship it I'm willing to draw it, if you can give me references (I do not condone ai, please just give me a pintrest board or something if you're looking for oc art)
I'll be reblogging this frequently between now and my surgery with updates on the funding goal.
