I can’t stress enough the importance of stretching your hands, and forearms every morning and every evening, spend 5-10 minutes going through a stretching routine. These are very easy to do, takes little time to do them. It’s VERY common in all animation studios. Conditions can slowly develop, the most typical one is Repetitive Strain Injury, it’s a prevalent condition resulting from overusing the hands to perform a repetitive task, such as typing, clicking a mouse, writing, and of course drawing. In simple medical terms, repetitive strain injury (RSI) stems from prolonged repetitive, forceful, or awkward hand movements. The result is minor damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves of the neck, shoulder, forearm, and most commonly hand and wrist, which can cause pain, weakness, or numbness. If you’re feeling some pains, tingles, weakness, or numbness in the wrist/forearm; one of the best ways to heal quickly are ‘Contrasting Baths’. What crazy voodoo am I speaking of? A couple different physiotherapists and massage therapists had recommended this technique to me several years ago, and for anyone I knew that tried it, they all say the results are fast and effective. Commonly used by carpal tunnel suffers, it’s a method of treating muscle soreness, swelling and inflammation, it’s also known as Hot/Cold Immersion Therapy. You can use the double sink in your kitchen at home, if you don’t have one, then get your hands on two very large identical bowls, it needs to be big enough to submerge your entire forearms from wrist to elbow. Fill one up with ice cold water (with a couple dozen ice cubes floating in there). The other with very warm water, not tea-kettle boiling hot water, just hot tap water, or as warm as you can handle, no sense in burning yourself of course. Have a stop watch or clock ready, and submerge your arms for 30 seconds in the hot, then switch to doing 30 sec. in the cold, and repeat a few times back and forth, 30 sec. a piece. After only a few times you’ll notice the hot water getting cooler and the cold water getting warmer, so then the technique grows to be less effective, but by then, the job is done. The idea is that the extreme heat and cold contracts and expands your blood vessels, promoting greater blood flow to circulate and flush through your arms, and increased blood flow is what aids in healing faster! Enjoy!

shaded sketch commission for @straviios! Thank you for your support!

Seconding Stuart here! I'll never forget the comic that inspired me to start my own projects in the Pokemon comic realm. And even now, there are new authors cropping up and making their own comics because they remember yours! You've come such a long way, and inspired so many! ^^ 

while i’m here gushing about pokemon, might as well make a little nod to the comic i ran from 2008-2015, STLE. it’ll be nine years old this october but i cancelled it two years ago because of clinical depression and school. never finished drawing their story, but that’s okay. sometimes it’s better to stop. anyway, thanks for what you taught me and for all the friends along the way. xo

HI! It’s been ages since I’ve opened myself up to commissions, and this is my first time that i’m publicly available for commissions via tumblr! of course, standard commissioning rules still apply, as most people know, I strongly prefer to draw Pokemon and creatures as apposed to humans. You can find samples of my work mostly in my deviantart gallery. The prices are increased for NSFW commissions. You can find info on my NSFW prices here. If you don’t want to buy a commission but just want to lend your support, you can donate to my Ko-fi! If i’m not too busy, I’ll even sketch you something as thanks!

Style tests i did for my comic, ultimately I’ll be going with something different as precision line work takes time. it is super fun tho omg.

Just a Eevee I drew a while back

Someone probably wondered why one would give a magnemite energy blades at some point, but then wondered no more once it ‘accidentally’ stabbed them, in the face, with energy blades. little bit inspired by Portal this one, if only for the murderous tendencies and color scheme. probably my second most favorite design out of the bunch

[rym-not-rim]

I wish it could snow in Texas

older work that i haven't uploaded to tumblr yet

[rym-not-rim]

this one is my favorite, I named them 4N0N, and they are currently the representation of guests on my comics site.

A pic of a Yungoos drawn for an art trade with a friend over discord~. had fun with the backgrounds.

[rym-not-rim]

so I made this for my community college’s animation final, even though I rebooted pmdlg as PKMN:IA its still canon, and still separate from chapter 1

[rym-not-rim]

meet one of my animated stream buddies, so yeah one thing I haven’t posted everywhere yet is all these gifs i animated of custom magnemite designs. they were all made with the same amount of frames. So when they are put into the slideshow feature of OBS studio, their animations are shuffled and timed to flow seamlessly into each other... their sequence of animations completely random throughout the entire stream!

Hi howdy I’m not dead I’m just bad at tumblr and currently getting my life together. since its been ages, Allow me to reintroduce myself, I’m Rym, and I’m an artist. I draw things and i’ll queue up some of the stuff i’ve been working on during the past year for whatever followers I have I suppose, and I’ll also start up actual commissions soon.

Feel free to send me asks about things! I know its been ages, but i’d be happy to connect with people again!
