If you want to see a specific tutorial from me, leave suggestions below! I’m trying to do more broad concepts, rather than anatomy stuff. I’m not the best person to ask about anatomy, I’ll be focusing on my cartooning skills and designing stuff. I also have small animation tutorials :D

I’ll post the tips publicly but my reference material and examples will be Patreon exclusive. If you like these tips and want to see more, support my Patreon! It allows me to focus on more material like this and I would really appreciate it .

Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.

For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!

The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!

If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!

They cheered for the baby and booed everyone else. This is the greatest thing

and not just 5e, and not just D&D

and not just books, a few days ago I found an issue of a magazine that was published when I was two years old

Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!

Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.

I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.

Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.

Skull tattoo/art commissions are open and available! Black and white + shading is available plus anything else you would like to add to it!

Pearl, the Oath of Devotion Paladin (PEARLadin!), Dueling fighting style.

This was the most obvious choice to me! I thought about it and a rogue build could work, and might be more mechanically accurate. But the image of Pearl as a paladin has been stuck in my head for years, and is honestly one of the reasons I started this art series!

Pearl would be a Dex-based paladin, who wields a rapier. Her AC is lower than expected for a paladin, and she isn’t quite as strong as a paladin might be, but she wasn’t built for this path – this was the path she chose for herself!

She’s working at the hospital since Rhona came to town,

Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to town,

Hide away, hide away, she’s come to take us down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep 6 feet away,

But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today,

Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay,

Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today,

And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say,

Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away,

[Image ID: Tumblr user @neanderthyall says in the notes, “I thought that 6 feet was kind of a double meaning. Like six feet away to stop the spread, but when people die they’re six feet underground, and its six feet of the dirt that keeps you apart. Like ‘Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts Hide away, hide away, or the six feet will be dirt’.” End ID.]
