Description I crippled myself

OKAY OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN- I'm not actually "crippled", I don't have any hand braces or anything so that's honestly a really bad way to put it. But, I did hurt myself really badly. I can't draw even a colored sketch without feeling shooting pain from the bottom of my wrist all the way up. My fingers hurt a lot too when doing things even unrelated to drawing. I took a week off and I still don't feel any better so this is gonna take a while. This pissed me off so much that, out of spite against my own physical ailments and rage at the fact that I just never stopped drawing, I, naturally, kept going- I'm teaching myself how to draw with my left hand now out of complete nowhere.

I sketched, lined, colored, and shaded this all with my left hand instead of the right. I brought the right in towards the end for the speechbubble and stuff but this is mostly my left hand's work. Originally it was just supposed to be Minty being like "Hey looky what I got here it's a hand" but then it looked really dramatic like an anime battle was going on so I went in that direction. It has a little blood here and there but cut me some slack that's like nothing. This took me about six hours to complete thanks to the fact that I want to make my left hand GOOD. None of that "LOL look at my non-dominant hand" kinda stuff. I gotta train it up like I did my right I'm very far from being able to use both hands as stand ins for eachother while animating but- Imma become ambidextrous just you wait. Anyway I have a tummy ache I don't want to type anymore bye

Minty oh my god what the hell you alright dude????? Have you had a chance to see a doctor about this (if that's an option, I mean ;; )

I support you in your journey of becoming ambidextrous but if you Destroy your left hand too I'm gonna have to confiscate both your hands sorry

I haven't gone to see a doctor yet- my parents have weird work times that make casual doctor visits an issue and last time I went was a bit recently when our schedules with this are taken into consideration haha. I would though, but I don't think it's /too/ bad? It's bad but not doctor's office bad yet- I don't think.

NOOO MY HANDSS I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF THIS ONE I SWEAR! My goal is to be able to switch them out at any point I can so I should be able meter out the stress on both haha.
