Leiden Sygdom

[26 | they/them] Welcome to my blog! I go by Sygdom. This is my art blog. I do a lot of TTRPG / Dungeons and Dragons related art, featuring plenty of drow, dark elves and tieflings. I also have a general interest in fantasy and cyberpunk. My ask and DMs are open, so feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know! {My twitter handle is also @leidensygdom, and my instagram one is @sygdom} https://linktr.ee/sygdom

I was long due for a pinned post update, so hi!! I'm Sygdom, and I’m a queer digital artist focusing on fantasy artwork, specially character art and design. My current focus is on TTRPGs, mostly Pathfinder 2e and Dungeons and Dragons. I have a particular interest in cyberpunk / fantasy art.

My art tag is #sygdomthings , and you can find all of my art posts with it. I also use character tags, such as #yxala , #siegmund or #argyros ! I tag things pretty consistently overall.

In the span of trying to work on this one (1) picture i have:

got a concussion

broke my schnooz

ended a second time on the er

lost half of the lineart process to csp crashing (something that hasn't happened in ages)

drawn half an hour on the wrong layer (also something that hasn't happened in ages)

adquired a new cat (which has had one of the worst adaptation processes the shelter folk have seen despite us following every guideline about it)

found out my eyesight is irrevocably fucked long-term

i am starting to believe this file has some sort of curse on it

EDIT: i choked on the melatonin three seconds after posting this and i am choosing to believe it is also related to this picture

Also seemingly both a 12yo kid at the ophthalmologist waiting room and the ophthalmologist himself were trans (based on them wearing trans flag pins and such), which was honestly unexpected and also: Neat

And one more Artfight attack! Featuring @saverix339's Stelain, a tiefling cleric (I think nephilim now? Since Pathfinder stuff!) Because I'm a big enjoyer of sad demonic ladies-

Behold my fifth artfight attack of 2026 and my new favorite thing I've ever drawn. I unlocked some new art powers with this one fr

These are MAKYUU's characters Zayn and Elias and I love them, they are exactly my vibe. I feel like my space gays (one of whom is a gray tiefling with an eyepatch) would find these space gays (one of whom is a gray tiefling with an eyepatch) very hot

speedpaint doesn't include the draft sketch cause I did that bit on my friend's ipad and had him send it to me. If only for a brief moment, I knew the joys of procreate and a stylus... cause if y'all weren't aware I mostly draw on my phone with my finger

Just a lil glimpse into some old jeans I’ve been customizing ;*

Art Fight attack for Gwynoblade! I had a lot of fun drawing this Hunter and experimenting with the different brushes and textures.

hi yeah i just want to say: although people CAN get flashing lights after a head injury because of something going on in their brain, the more common reason is that the gel behind your eye was jostled around a bit when you were hit, so the flashes are peeks behind that gel. it should settle on its own. this is probably what your neurologist thought, and something that the nurse wouldn't have encountered as much--both of them have rational reactions given their line of work. i think you should still get it checked out at the er anyway, just to rule out any bleeding bc yeah concussions are scary, but when you do i think you should emphasize that there might be something wrong with your eyes instead! get a consult with an opthalmologist, not just a neurologist. an opthalmologist might be able to confirm that you have displaced vitreous humour. it will resolve on its own eventually but it's good to have a doctor looking out for you if you have it because the gel is what keeps your retina attached to the back of your eye--if it gets moved, the retina can tear, and that's a sort of "you have 24 hours to get this fixed or you go blind forever" sort of emergency. if they already know you have this condition then they can treat you faster if a tear occurs.

good luck! i hope all this horrible stuff will be over for you soon!

Well, I have quite the relevant update to this now! I did end up going in the ER and:

Indeed it seems it isn't brain-related, they're pretty safe in that my brain isn't going to explode (which is good)

I did see an ophthalmologist (and my eyes are still kind of dilated lol), who didn't find immediate signs of anything terrible. HOWEVER

You may have been right with the gel-thingy? Seemingly I have some deterioration in my.... Idk what's the name in English, but in Spanish it's degeneración de baba de caracol (if i had to translate literally, snail juice degeneration?), which seemingly CAN increase the risk of a tear

Also they found out I have some sort of rare degenerative eye condition which :''))))))) haha. I guess the visit wasn't for naught? I have another visit with the ophthalmologist within few months about that

This is unrelated but there was a physical fight between a nurse and a patient in the waiting room so ???? ?? ?

So!! Honestly I wish I had seen this ask sooner since it was surprisingly on point!! But all in all I'm in the clear for immediate major issues and I should be around all fine~~

Artfight attack no.3 for @redasatomato

My plans for today

[leidensygdom]

Anyhow have a Slug for the night. She ate a bit today! Slow progress!!

me: okay a concussion is very scary and i am having a hard time feeling like i'm in the clear for it. i struggle with hypochondria but i think i'm okay. it's fine. i just have some leftover flickering lights at the edge of my vision, but the doctor said that is normal and isn't a cause of concern on itself. i got a ct scan after the concussion and it was fine. it's fine.

me: i'll just ask the nurse that has to remove my stitches about it i guess?

the nurse: flickering lights could be a sign of something being terribly wrong in your brain. it could be swollen. your skull could be filled with blood. sometimes ct scans come out perfectly fine after a concussion and then the person kicks the bucket still. some people just randomly die after a week of a concussion. you should run immediately to the ER and get them to ct scan your brain again or you may die.
