Slow and steady (srs/tw-)

Welp-



My health has dropped again, lost too much weight, aching all the time and can’t stay awake

I think if things don’t turn for the better soon I may end up leaving here not necessarily by choice but because my body just quits on me. Or at least be incredibly slow with posting anything because I need what little energy I have to focus on getting through nursing school and finding the right treatment. It’s been an adventure and I’m glad I’ve made a difference in some people’s lives, but for now, Ol’ Mooni needs a rest and a good cry because I’m really scared, keep up with the cool art peeps 👌

  • oh i'm sorry :(( i hope you'll be ok soon also don't feel bad for leaving if it's better for your mental health!!

  • oh noooo hope you have a steady recovery, but take as much time as you need

  • oh no D: hope you'll recover and be okay soon

  • I'm so sorry I wish I could help :/

So-


I’m considering a break from medi.
Why?
Nursing school is intense and I’m really sick

Stress is causing the state of my disease to get worse and although some of you know that I’m sick, I can’t explain how bad it actually is without being depressing ^^”
I know that not many (if any at all) would really care if I took a break or not or just fully left here but ye- I’m in a really rough spot rn and idk when I’ll take my break but ye- Possibly this week but ye idk for sure

Sorry for the let down-

Medi Bronze Rank advice

Hey! Idk if anyone reads these anymore lol, but I have been reading all of your guys’ topics about the new “creator certificate” and I do agree, it sucks-
So I’m gonna let you in on some tips and tricks for how I reached my Platinum, and hope that these help you out along the way 👍

So first off, medi is a little biased and we all know that. You don’t have to be a Japanese creator though to reach a rank, don’t stress about that!

Alright so here’s my tips:
1. Fully detailed art
And I mean go ham on the details 👏 It makes the piece look super intricate and every little detail can catch the interest of almost anyone. Stars and small sparkles are what I use!

2. Art promotion
Help a friend out if you can! It’s not something that always works but it never hurts to try it out 👌 Promotion gets peoples’ work out there

3. Try drawing something out of your comfort zone
In my case, food art is a huge struggle for me but I took my time to try and draw all the details I could in my piece and hey look at it now! People were impressed with how much I put into it 👍 It’s also a great way to expand your art horizon!

4. Fandoms
Fandoms are a hit or miss and are a little tricky because not everyone will know the fandom you are representing so, try to incorporate other elements from said fandom into your art as well 👍

5. Don’t give up if you don’t get it
A rank is great but it’s not the world? Everyone here are amazingly talented people! Artists are hard to come by and you should never let anyone tell you you aren’t special because of a rank!

6. Just have fun
Plain and simple! As long as you’re having fun with friends that’s all that counts 👌

Hope that helped any if you out, but if you want any more tips or advice, just let me know :p

Just with my own spin on things and a whole lot more spooky and “mature” (not inappropriate, I mean in a way that’s not something a 5 year old would gravitate towards-)

  • yes please do

  • Can Can I Can I just Say that a great idea >:]

  • That would be so cool!!! Plus I just finished listening to eurobeat on YouTube so I may be biased

  • Ye :D That'd be interesting to see

Aah

Pre-nursing/Nursing major in a nutshell-

But really, I haven’t been posting here a lot because my health has steadily dropped due to the stress of college. More than I let people know because I don’t want to worry them? I’ll be alright but, I’m in a pretty gloomy spot right now. Medibang is hard to interact with folks for me because I can’t relate well anymore and I’m old-

Idk, I just feel kinda unwelcome everywhere rn but I’m not gonna take that out on anyone because that’s a me problem. So while I try to doctor myself up and not die in class, I might be kinda offish here?? It’s hard to say since really only one person talks to me here lol, and thank you to that one person. Idk idk- sorry- I think I really just need some help, but nobody can offer me that help unless I pay them money I work hard for to help me buy my books. A vicious cycle really, but I’ll manage fine, eventually. For now take a kinda crummy chaotic doodle and sorry for the rant ^^”

  • But as the others said take as much time as you need

  • Hey mate, totally get that It's really hard to interact with people here again for me too I hope you feel better soon btw :) Make sure to have some breaks from work and stuff and to have some self care time if needed

  • I get it, take as much time as you need. nobody really interacts with each other here anyway

  • And don't be sorry for being unwell/stressed, just take your time to get better!

Lyss the seal!

I’ve had a miserable week- First week of college and I end up getting really really sick with “the perfect storm” but other than that it’s fun, I just haven’t had time to draw because of all my work and my health ^^”
Take a concept oc! I’m gonna work on her more to make her much more interesting? Maybe a skeleton?? Idk yet- But hope you like it 👌

The last photo isn’t her, that’s just a cracked drawing of myself-
