      I have a chronic illness as well, so I know what you mean. It's great that you are still getting things done! Good luck with both your health and your work!

      I like the texture on the bunny, so the brush is working nicely! I don't know why, but he made me laugh a little when I first saw him. He looks like he's quite the character. 🙂

      If you haven't sent one in, you could do a red version of this guy and send it in to SVS for their bunny wall. https://www.svslearn.com/news/2017/10/7/bunny-wall

        Thanks everyone for the kind words, I found out this week that my ct chest scan is stable!! Which is wonderful, no growth or new lung nodules. That is huge since every scan for the last 6 years has shown changes and more damage. We see a lung specialist next week. Hopefully, all the everyday things I am doing to cut back on inflammation is helping and slowing down progression.

        These are other characters I drew with the new brush, it is fun to play with.

          @miriam Sorry to hear about your chronic illness, it can be such a bear. I work through it and don't really let it slow me down too much. I find staying busy with art, writing, and kids etc keeps my mind off the bigger scarier issues of what is happening. I focus on eating healthy and the things I can control.

            Good to hear that the scan went well! I hope your condition continues to improve. ❤

            Slow Mo is adorable, too! For anatomy, I believe sloths have either no visible tail (like people) or a very stubby tail (2-3 inches long), depending on the type of sloth. But you could just say that Mo is part monkey. 🙂

                @miriam Thanks! I was looking at pics of a giant sloth that have a longer tail, but you are right this tail is more monkey-like so something to consider. 😃

                  @marsha-kay-ottum-owen Thanks, my family is relieved! It's a step in the right direction. I love playing with texture brushes.

                      I forgot to mention before--I want to see Radar's fox friend, Rusty!

                      I've never heard of giant sloths before. So are your rabbit and fox prehistoric characters, too? Or are they not part of the same "world"?

                      Your Slow Mo picture would make a cute valentine card.

                        @Charlie-Eve-Ryan very happy to hear your health is turning for the better! Happy to hear you were still able to get some work done and get those dummy books out. Always cool to see a fellow SVSer working towards the goal and making it happen.

                          @miriam Thanks, I'll be sure to post a pic of Rusty, too. Radar is a pb story I am writing based on my family trips to Ocean City, NJ beach. There are bunnies and foxes who live in the sand dunes there, Radar and Rusty are inspired by them. They're best buds who collect and build gadgets and weather equipment from items they scavenged for on the beach. Rusty scavenges while Radar builds things and also using his super sensitive ears to help predict storms.

                          Slow Mo lives in the city and is a different book, but I'm sure he'd love a visit to the beach someday.
