Repetitive Strain Injuries

Sat Sep 12, 2009, 11:38 PM
Has anyone out there had an RSI? If it was successfully overcome, what methods did you use to fix it, and over what time period.

I am particularly interested in the coping strategies used by professionals, who cant always afford to stop drawing for long periods of time.

My specific problem involved pain around the base of the thumb, on the back of the hands, and sometimes the wrist. It has persisted for several months. I am seeing surgeons and doctors regularly.

This is the primary reason for me not currently updating this website.

some seriously impressive alien designs, ive tryed my hand at a fiew alien ideas myself. but with the drawing ability of a 2 year old i cant bring them to life like you can.

if you ever need ideas, thow yours are much better, ill be happy to supply.

Great, great work. I'm fumbling for words.

The alien designs are genuinely alien, and that comes from planning, structure, and (judging from your non-alien sketches) an informed fascination with existing biodiversity - an impressive combination, wielded by appropriately impressive artwork.

Seriously - as a lover of biology (and maybe, someday, an artist), this is fantastic to see.

Rock on.

= deviantwatch! :)

No matter how often I look to your pictures - it's everytime amazing. Mind-blowing drawing skill!
:iconlordmunchkin:
As a long time fan of science fiction, your xeno-artwork strikes true to my heart. They truly look and feel alien, while still retaining a living spark that decries the fantasy.

I am particularly intrigued by your Birrin. I wonder what a first their contact with humanity would look like? They've certainly proven themselves capable of violence but what would happen when they meet an equally prone race?
:iconmjham:
OMG your gallery is soooo awesome!!!

I'm gonna verb my noun into your adjective noun, just you wait and see!
