Revenant NSFW + IRL update (Revenant, Elden Ring Nightreign)

I started this piece on my desktop in Clip Studio Paint, but quickly found that I was physically unable to keep working on it there. I decided to see if drawing on my iPad was more comfortable, and even though it took me the rest of the week, I was able to get it finished! Haven't been able to play a ton of Nightreign yet (just got my laptop back from the repair center yesterday) but I like Revenant's design a lot.

In IRL news, I found out that I don't just have a muscle spasm in my neck, I have a compressed nerve from a narrowing of my spinal column where the nerves branch out to the right side of my body. That causes the pain, numbness, balance issues, vision problems, and produces the ongoing muscle spasm. They expect it's wear and tear from the posture I take while drawing/sitting at my desk, and that's also what triggers it to get continuously worse. I'll see a pain specialist in about 3 weeks, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get some relief then. Otherwise, I'll keep doing my best to make what I can.

To address any concerns -- I understand the best thing for my health would be to simply take time off. Unfortunately, I can't afford to do that financially (life, and especially all this medical work, costs money). I've promised you guys a new piece every week, and I intend to honor that and earn the support you're giving me.

I also realize that the best thing I could do financially would be to churn out basic horny drawings of whoever the current hot character is on social media instead of experimenting and trying to make something artsy and interesting, but...if I'm going to hurt myself in order to keep doing what I love, I want to at least make art that represents what I truly feel right now. And to be honest, with the ongoing health issues, I haven't been feeling particularly horny, lol.

tl;dr, thank you very much and I'll keep doing my best. 🙏

A drawing of Revenant from Elden Ring Nightreign, rendered with a pencil brush and a gauche brush. She's sitting in a field of baby blue eyes flowers, hugging herself with her knees drawn up, bare body on display, doll joints and all. Her long silvery hair falls down around her and she has a crown of blue flowers on her head. She looks at a skull on the ground next to her, blue eyes heavily lidded, lashes long, expression somber.

In the alternate version, her braids are undone and swept away so that her chest can be seen.
