DX Draws... sometimes.

Ex-med student, current doctor, eternally an artist. You can find my ramblings over at @dxmedstudent, and my medical comic over at @dxmedicalstudent

More good news today.

I am thrilled to report that so far it seems that our Milly's breast cancer hasn't metastasised! We're hoping for curative treatment!

We are arranging for her to yeet her teats next week. Hoping for a smooth recovery for the sweetest little cat, and would love some good vibes/thoughts/prayers.

The art is my own, been meaning to do more pet portraits but I'm pretty rusty!

I'd like to take the chance you remind you all to keep an eye out for lumps and bumps on your pets (even long haired ones!) regularly - we caught this early which will hopefully help.

I might do a proper nice UK Miku or even one from my country of birth...maybe.

But today I was feeling like scribbling a Medblr Miku; a version that transcends national borders. Dressed in overlarge scrubs, having her 3rd burnout crisis of the day as she files her paperwork and her computer crashes, again.

Sadly, I can't find any of my decent art materials, so she's rendered in sharpies and half dead markers, but I think that's part of the fun.

Quick sketch of our party cleric Nim, who was brought up with a lot of baked goods… https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWqB63g7Vw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cxb181ztdyal

I forgot to post this #cellsatwork #fanart from a while back. I get the feeling that NK cell and Killer T grudgingly respect each other. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWqZvkgZ3R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fmrz4uicazsf

#fanart of The Allergy Gang. Mast cell and B Cell from #cellsatwork getting out of hand. I really liked both these characters and their interaction as a way of explaining hypersensitivity reactions. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWqywTg9th/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17g8upe09i3yi

Illariel, my nerdy little level 7 evocation wizard and first ever #DnD character. I love sketching our party when I need a creative fix. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWrYrJgYig/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aao8xlxlbzt

The indomitable Lady Thia Amakiir, our #DnD party’s resident Rich Girl, conjuror and lover of shiny things.

I miss drawing my party. Might have to get back into it soon… https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWrxBaA2XX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wffmzisvfuc8

Self portraits; I might make an effort to look nice when I’m out and about, but I’m secretly a hoodie-wearing troll 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWsCojgi9e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hf8xmtxlxyr0

Still working on this cast pic for my comic #dxmedicalstudent. I really miss making #comics and I miss my characters, so I’d love to come off hiatus and start making them again. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWsVffAW2Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fctvx3s7w2p1

#Selfportrait . I was going for a work-life balance theme originally, but in the end it just ended up work-themed. Work takes over life once again! https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWwnfsgbU-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=njt3re6julmx

#inktober no #10 - tired.

I finished a 12h shift and am not in the mood to create a lot, I’ll be honest… #myart #dxart #dxdraws https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxPCXohirC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ko9530s3160

#Inktober day #9 - acceptance and forgiveness of one’s own limitations. I’ve finally caught up with my backlog of inktober sketches.

Between personal things and oncalls, it took me longer than I expected to catch up, and it’s easy to feel bad about falling behind with inktober. But I decided not to let that get to me. #dxdraws #dxart #myart https://www.instagram.com/p/BouxiOBh2lV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k885218bv1mi

#Inktober day #8 The times you wake up at night in a cold sweat unsure if you forgot something at work. Or wake up after a nightmare about overdosing a patient.

#Inktober day #7 - When your pager won’t stop bleeping, and you *beep* want it to be *beep* quiet for five *beep*ing seconds so you can *beep* just answer the last two bleeps you received. #myart #dxdraws #dxart https://www.instagram.com/p/BouwmV0hdp_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a6zcajqb5rm3

#Inktober #6 The first time you get that “OH CRAP!” moment with a patient…. It gets better, but the feeling that your heart might also explode sometimes remains. #dxart #dxdraws #myart https://www.instagram.com/p/BouwNvXhAKc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pszv3e36iysq

#Inktober day #5 - weight.

When you feel almost physically weighed down and overwhelmed by how much there is to do. It’s a sign you have to stop, take stock and redistribute the load… #dxart #dxdraws #myart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bouui4DhAh0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1stlqhblea3f6
