3 recent works of mine in ms paint TW for mild gore and genitalia/reproductive organs imagery !!

Baggage

Mother

Alien? Cat? Alien Taking Cat Form? Who Knows. (made in ms paint + finalized in ibis)

i've been trying to get back into art recently and making things that come from both the worst and bests parts of my brain have shown succession. i'm only a beginner artist (prior to my forced art break i had only been drawing only a month) and going from drawing on my phone to drawing with a mouse has been a surprisingly fun switch, it's more limited but it leads to more creativity :)

New here, first post.

A friend suggested that I should join reddit and share the CPTSD stories with you, and perhaps some here might find them useful.

Even though I regularly write articles and essays on CPTSD, I am honestly afraid of sharing here on reddit.

I normally hammer 🔨 out an article a day and then publish it to SubStack.

Perhaps it is imposter syndrome or something like that.

I just wanted to say hello and see if anyone was interested to hear more.

My pen 🖊 name is Steven James Cervantes.

While this isn't a creative piece, I again am afraid of posting on reddit. I ultimately don't want to be trolled about my experiences.

I don't believe pain and suffering require a competition, as it would be unfair for me to say what you suffered was less or more than anyone else.

That's it.

I can share my SubStack information with you, but I don't want to violate your self promotion rules.

Weird how this scares me.

Recent drawing

I enjoy drawing random patterns I started 15 years ago it can help calm my emotions etc, very helpful in distraction from a buzzing head which at times gives me no peace.

The symmetrical image is done with an app, I like how the symmetrical images look but I'm also fascinated by what turns up in the mirrored images sometimes repeatedly.

I've just finished this one it's A4 size done with poscas ink pens.

Thanks.

I managed to actually write and make my own story zine! Free link in comments. Story is slice of life fantasy, about a young woman that travels in a vardo pulled by a giant tortoise.

"I am a lot" mixed media

It's a tile shard I found in the street, a packing tape transfer of a self portrait I did in my 20s, strip of masking tape, and a typed out diary excerpt. The diary excerpt is my current defense mechanism which is basically the idea that I am not too much, other people are just not enough.

"I am a lot, I am so many. I am the whole universe and most have just barely been born and can't take all of reality; they need a swaddle and a breast, they cannot handle a god"

My second attempt at cheering myself up

I don't know if that other person took an inspiration from me to start their own origami hobby or it was a completely original idea, but seeing the hobby multiply gave me confidence to share more of my positive things that I felt like sharing. Well on 3rd of August in the session my therapist said to lighten up my load and burden so that you'd feel better that way at least first, and they said that I can read a few light hearted novels for example.

I couldn't find myself a better excuse to go back to my childhood series, and after reading the first page, the literal first page of party pooper one I just simply want to dissolve myself in this series!

TW Urine, Child; I don't know what to do with that, after remembering this

i don't know what to make of it and how to categorise it. I was between 4 and 6, the jar was so big. like 40 cm. the relative wanted to use it for bandages or cleaning eyes. i believe i had to do it once for myself to and had choice if i pee or my old relative and the use than thwir urine. it's so gross. i know i was also in the middle of the room squatting over the jar. like in the entrance room. i remember in the entrance room having give an e*ema in a similar jar, i am sorry for censoring it, i can't spell out the whole word, it's too triggering
