The moose

Behold! Clean Lawndry. I accidentally left him in my pocket when I put my jeans in to wash. Wrung him out a little and put him in the salad spinner to get the excess water off; he's still a little dizzy from the experience. Atty did amazing work as always capturing the true essence of the wettest cat when hanging him up to dry.

Do you, too, desire to break tumblr with amazing art? Go poke Atty for a comm. Second time I've worked with her and it was as much of a delight this time around I can 10/10 recommend

Bonus:

like..."anxiety" is more than just response to predators, animals get stressed when they are in environments that are too crowded or not enough hiding places or whatever, and social animals would deal with social rejection or fighting as a serious threat. also, anyone who has experienced abuse or assault or anything like that has had to deal with threats to their person

However. I do not think "just fucking get over it and talk to people lol" is a helpful thing to tell people with social anxiety. I don't think telling people to just get over their fucking disability will help them manage their fucking disability. How about some of y'all get over the idea that social anxiety is some non-issue that only lazy people who "don't want to put in the work to be healthy" struggle with.

Have you instead considered posting actual encouragement? Scripts to ease their anxiety? Teaching people the game of worst case, best case, most likely case? Literally anything else?? "Just get over it" is the most bullshit "advice" in the world. "If you have difficulty talking to people you're a loser who needs to grow up and just do it anyway" is, believe it or not, extremely unhelpful! So perhaps STFU!

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.
