I really hope no one is offended by the use of the word “crap” in this page ^_^ (seriously, it's not a swear word, it's just not a nice word either!)
But what is this? Two updates in the same week? Impossible! Craziness! Cupcakes! (I don't get any until I finish a comic page!)
I really enjoy reading the thoughts and speculations youse guys have, I have to refrain from answering questions though since we get to see the answers to these in the next few pages.
Also I did a little research on Carpal Tunnel, and what i have is definitely not it. IT described a burning sensation, I think this feels more like a bruise or a twisted joint pain-wise. When I bend my hand I can feel whatever is in there moving the tendons to the sides, ick. The thought of having to get surgery on this is a very scary prospect since I have no idea what it is or how long I'd be out of commission… better start practicing with lefty!
Anyway, this early update is to thank all those who donated and bought a shirt, thank you so much for helping us out. I'll try to keep this up if I can ^_^
That is just SO awesome. What's the spider demons name again? I can't seem to remember... In any event, I like her style. Helpless female characters get old really fast.
I'm starting to get annoyed by Kavonn. He has such a superior attitude. I certainly hope Sadick is okay, though. Lezzaria is fast becoming one of my favorite characters. And I still love Daray's eyes.
Heheh... teach him not to mess with the little lady. ;)
On the hand note, it really could be a cyst like the other doctor told you. I had surgery for one two years ago and was only ot of work for 2 weeks, so it's not too bad. Surgery is an iffy option, though, as it is not always 100% successful. My cyst has returned, however as long as your hand has been bothering you, you should probably look into another doctor's opinion. If it is a ganglion cyst, it can in some circumstances, cost you the use of your hand permanently. The surgery itself is fairly simple any usually very minimally invasive as the do it arthroscopically. 4 little cuts about 1/4 of an inch each. I've had papercuts longer than that. A little physical therapy later and things are back to normal, as long as it doesn't return.
Good luck Amelius and if there is any other info I could help with, feel free to get in touch. Hope your hand feels better soon.
All the blood and gore in this comic and your worried about useing the work crap? Well, some people are sensitive that way.
Just caught up the arcives from the begining and I must say you have done a great job. I'm looking forward to your future updates.
Awesome...I know you didn't mean to make the spider-elf thingie too cute but, alas, she is. I find her adorable stinger or not.
And tis good to see Kavonn again, probably one of my favorite characters. Speaking of that, do you plan to ever give him another chance with Rosemary? If there's someone who deserves some happiness after all the crap he's gone through to help people it's him.
Ha. Cool page. ^^
Hmm... about your hand, I have joint/tendon problems that can cause a lot of pain but it will usually go away after a while... I would definitely say to try and go to another doctor. If this has been a problem for you this long then there could be a bad pull that just can't heal for some reason or anything that has been suggested since your description alone can't really narrow it down. :/ You wont necessarily need surgery but it's a possibility. I hope that you can find someone that can help you. I really concerned that this has been a problem for such a long time. xc
Have you looked into Tendinitis?
Is what I have
Makes your joints feel... crackly, I guess you could say, could use the same sort of description that you use, you don't want surgery for it, they just strip away cartilage and muscle so it stops grating against itself
"crappin' jackalopes". And you know Kavv was gonna do it. That is no figure of speech, right there. Elf-boy there should be thanking Lezzaria for not letting him be in "major discomfort for the rest of the day." :P
But I feel for Sadick, I really do. I wouldn't want to be told by a stranger that I was to have a spider-girl crawling around my head either!
And ook, I hope your hand magically stops hurting! Or if it doesn't, I hope you don't need surgery! *mumbling shifty doctors...* You're a brave soul for giving us these awesome pages, I can tell you that much. You rock! And so do Daray's eyes in panel 9!
Maybe its some sort of bone spur? Pressing against the nerves?
*is no doctor* I still think you should have your wrist looked at, maybe even X-rayed to be on the safe side.
For the record, from what I've seen you draw fantastic with your left hand
crap or "craps" is actually a dice game. it's evolution into a not-so-nice word was sorta out of excitement from the gamble that game provided. you could say it got stuck on a few peoples tongued out of the game house and just started accumulating other meanings.
I personally think it's a rather funny word.
Crappin' Jackalopes? Ow!
Is it bad that I find the four stingy deamon thing cute?
I was going to mention the same thing as DragonChan, it could be cyst...in yer wrist.
Oh I really, really, REALLY hope your hand will be alright!!! =( I don't know what I'd do without your beautiful art...If you DO get hand surgery, your surgeon had better be extra careful or else us disappointed fans will band together and hunt him (or her) down. =_=
Ah, lovely work here--I've recently been trying a size difference and I can't mange it, so I'm studying our pretty little demon lady with the four eyes in the hope of figuring out how to draw something so small yet keep it looking...recognizable. ^///^
I think i get the same thing with my hand. There are just certain hand positions that hurt like the ever shining sun like when I stir anything. Makes me worry about my prospects as an aspiring chef. Too much typing mayhaps?
Buwahaha... He is in for a WORLD of hurt, yes.
As far as your hand goes, is it possible that you have a cist somewhere inside it? My old manager had a problem with that - just a small cist that grew on/around the tendons/bones that caused some minor to major discomfort depending on how aggrivated it was. It's not even so large that you can see it - it stays small, but can obviously interfere with your general hand/wrist use.
Just a thought =)
Hmm... he's so unemotive... I wonder if he's in shock. Well this is all going to snowball horribly I'm sure. And i will be standing next to the bottom when it happens so I can enjoy.
Somehow I see everything imploding to about where Kavonn is right now. Maybe Charby gets mad at teh elites and leaves or something and everyone else
