I don't want to say much right now, only because I'm not in much of a good headspace. But stuff has gotten stressful again and I'm just trying to hold out to Sunday afternoon. Until then, I'm just going to bury myself in my craft work. I got two shows in two weeks. Might as well learn to knit.

Finally testing out printing my own stickers. I am rather uncomfortable doing this cause I don't wanna waste good sticker paper or printer ink. Both are expensive.

My room is full of so many art supplies. Watercolor paints, colored pencils, markers, faux flowers, stickers, and jewelry supplies and some yarn for crochet practice. I don't have a problem :3

I'm gonna be scanning most of these so I have them backed up on my computer. I'm also thinking of offering painted commissions cause they hurt my hands less vs digital art. I haven't been this in love with an art medium since getting into digital art.

I know I haven't been super active here, but I'm still getting used to just sitting at my desk and being online. I actually spend most of my days painting. It's really the only thing keeping me sane. Here's some of what I've done the past few weeks.

More of a rambley thought vs any actual descisions but: I think I need to step back from kink stuff for a while. It just doesn't bring me the same joy right now. I still adore drawing bodies of all sizes, but I'd really just like to focus on the mundane/wholesome stuff vs horny chaos.

The number of people who have assumed my kindness and optimism is a front for ulterior motives really makes me wonder how many people in life have genuine friends in their lives. Not everyone who is friendly and cheerful is doing it to get one over on you, I promise. We just wanna smile again.

6 hours of painting later, a kobold in a forest. #ubpdraws

A watercolor painting of an orange kobold sitting at the base of a tree, dressed in a green and gold jacket, dark grey pants and brown and gold boots. They have a bladed tail attachment and are balancing the blade of a dagger on their finger by the point of the blade. Various grasses, moss and mushrooms surround them and they have a confident expression, mouth slightly open

Spent a few hours playing with pearlecent watercolors and this is what I came up with. No pre planning, just painting.

A photo of a watercolor painting. The painting is of foliage and evergreen trees in the background, a blue sky with 2 clouds and a purple eastern dragon with orange hair around the top and upper-left corner of the frame. A signature of 'UnknownBear 2026' is on the lower right corner.

I'm gonna be making a formal complaint against her. This woman SHOULD NOT BE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD. She was without compassion, even when I explained that I've had mental health issues since I was a kid. I also will not be going back to that ER again.

Norm the Dragonbear 🔞 @unknownbear.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Then she barely checked my breathing and heart, told me I sounded fine and she was going to get me discharged, and left without me being able to explain anything. I was entirely shocked and appaled that someone this ignorant could be a dr. Mom couldn't either, as she was with me.

Norm the Dragonbear 🔞 @unknownbear.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

The Dr then asked me if I worked. I said not currently and I was trying to get on disability. She cut me off before I could explain why and told me I needed to find a job because, and i quote, "you're young and able bodied and a job will give your life purpose" I just could not belive this.

Norm the Dragonbear 🔞 @unknownbear.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Last night I went to the ER because I had a negative reaction to a new medication, poss seritonin syndrome. The Dr told me I was on too many psych medicines and should be off *all* of them, even after I told her that when I was unmedicated I tried to kill myself. I just looked at mom horrified.

Norm the Dragonbear 🔞 @unknownbear.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

For real though, I'm just tired all the time. In pain all the time. I just really want things to be simple, safe and stable for at least like, a year? Please?

I am honestly so exhausted all the time by everything. Started a new anti anxiety med and while it works at getting rid of my normal anxiety, it makes my throat dry and gives me a wicked headache. I did manage to get my printer finally set up though. After 2 weeks of sitting on my desk :3

The long overdue update TW: SUICIDAL STUFF

A FurAffinity Journal Titled: Long overdue Update (TW: SUICIDE STUFF)

Hi everyone

I want to keep this brief but as clear as possible.
TW: Depression, Suicide attempt, Mental/physical health issues

On the night of June 7th, I attempted to take my own life. My intention was to jump off of a 130 ft bridge i live near.
Thankfully, I was stopped by police about two blocks from the bridge. I then spent the next few days in the hospital, being rehabilitated. This included getting back on medication.

My reasoning was I couldn't handle the pain anymore. My fibromyalgia is becoming way more severe along with other health issues. I have burning pains in my hands that makes holding pens/pencils hard for long periods of time, i lose my balance frequently and run into things, I have panic attacks (3-5 a week) that I cannot predict. I barely sleep without taking a sedative. More than half of my skin on my body is numb to touch (I cant feel textures but i can feel pressure) and I have frequent painful muscle spasms in my neck. I'm even having frequent memory issues from brain fog.

I'm attempting to get on disability, and hopefully I can.
Tomorrow i see my doctor again to keep looking into my physical symptoms, so weeee, more tests.

As for commission work, it's on Hiatus for the time being. I'm having a really hard time adjusting to this new 'normal' for me. I've been doing artfight to try to get back into work, but even that's been incredibly slow.

All I ask for right now is patience.

-Norm

Orion and I have a long and complicated history & have also had the long talks. I can see with my own eyes that he is genuinely sorry fot what he did, & that he takes full accountability for it. But i also see that he's working really hard to be a better person. People CAN change for the better!

Artist to Artist: ❌ DON'T shade your reference sheets! ❌ They are not meant to be a render. They are purely to convey info. I WILL mistake a shadow for a pattern change, and it will slow down artwork.

If you experience this like I do, remember you’re loved and talented. It’s hard to put yourself out there and get turned down. Be kind to yourself and those who had to make the hard decisions.

Slowly making progress on the anxiety issue. I was able to fall asleep without wither mom or raven in my room. It was only for a few hours, but its still something. Now only if this soup weather can leave. Turns out high heat and humidity can make anxiety worse

Legit, i would add something creamy in the bugle to hold the m&m better. Peanut butter, nutella, frosting, ect. And I'm putting bugles on my fingers for claws x3
