I'm a disabled trans man just trying to get by- my little kitty's gabapentin has already run his credit card over the limit and we've got another payment due for more.

I need to do two $50 commissions, I'm offering 3 characters with a background for these, or a comic piece with two characters, and one full body shot of each of them or one of them together.

It’s here !! The guide for two-legged people who don’t know how to draw wheelchairs !!! 7 pages of infodump ! Disclaimer : I don’t know everything, I have one (1) experience of wheelchair user who used both bad and good chairs, and I share what I learned.

Image description :

1) Calvin in his wheelchair saying “yo” under a huge title “how to draw manual wheelchairs properly by Calvin Arium, a wheelchair user comic artist”.

2) A character says “my character self propels in a chair that was outdated in 1970 lol” Calvin says “so it looks like you two legged people don’t know the difference between an hospital chair and a chair made to be independant” an arrow point the crapppy chair, saying “we never want to see this again”

a bubble says “the hospital chair is extremely unpractical, tough considering it’s cheaper than a good custom chair a lot of us have only this”

3) a character hurt himself trying to reach the wheels of the hospital chair. Several arrows point why the chair is unpractical : “high backrest restrain shoulders movement” “huge armrest restrains wheel access” “separated footrest : amovible, cheap, bulky” “x structure, foldable but heavy” “huge front casters for stability” “heavy wheels”

4) Several arrows point an active wheelchair (the KSL by Küshall) : “usually no armrest” “a low backrest allow more movement” “light, design, ferning expersive” “special cushion to avoind injuries” “knee angle is usually 90°” “one single piece of frame, sometimes entirely welded” “weight : from 4 to 10kg” “often rigid” “center of the wheel is the center of gravity” “higher quality wheels : less spikes”

5) A hand grab different parts of the wheel, pushing harder in the second half. Bubbles says “some have gloves, some don’t. The hand must grab the biggest area possible. Less movement = more energy. This is a common but not only way to push.Calvin is on his back wheels, rolling on grass and dirt bubble says “popping a wheelie is when a wheelchair user rolls on their back wheels to roll on every complicated surface.

6) several drawings illustrate the folding frame, the ergonomic but rigid and expensive backrest, the separated footrest (only for folding frame), the handles, the folding handles, athe amovibles handles, or no handles, the cool fancy loopwheels, the pretty custom colors 

7) More Features ! The fancy rigid-foldable frame, the anti tippers (sometimes used by beginners), the motorization (wheels, smart drive) when propelling yourself is difficult Calvin says “and now vroom vroom motherfuckers”

I still need money for my dental bill and other expenses I'm taking commissions, and selling t-shirts and pillows and silly little keychains and working on some sensory jewelry right now. I'm disabled and queer so you can imagine how things are right now I've set a goal on Ko-fi for $200 If you get a commission from me on Ko-Fi and note that you came from this post on tumblr to give me a hand I'll throw in an extra character or background for free on any of the types of commissions you can get (except for icons just because they dont work that way) I'm good with furries, OCs, Homestuck, MLP, D&D, Irkens, transformers, robots in general, and about anything you can get me a reference or good description for.

Alright! My last show went-- very poorly, and I have bills and am disabled as heck. Specifically I need to pay on my dental bill where I had to get an emergency crown, and I need to pay for my kitty's medications (nothing horrible, baby boy just has terrible anxiety and also needs the fancy prescription flea medication that also does ear mites) Gas money would also be a hecking life saver right now at these prices, so I'm gonna go ahead and do four slots for $50

for $50 I will do: 3 characters 1 background, colour.

Or a small one page comic with one full unique background shot and up to two full body shots. I will also do a three panel full transformation sequence. I'll draw OCs, Furries, Homestucks, Faeries, D&D, MLP, Irkens, Transformers, Robots, Cyborgs. Anything you have a reference for or a good detailed description for in the case of OCs, I will give a go.
