Got a TBI and decided to create an artistic rendering of how wack my vision has been

Haven't drawn in a while but wanted to get my frustration out. Video games are a no-go, so this was the best option I had.

Critiques welcome!

Oof. I was hoping it was some sort of eye exam drops. Wishing you a full recovery!

Honestly? Redraw it on some real, proper artistic paper and expand on it. It's beautiful, and sad, too. TBIs are no joke. I hope things return to normal for you soon. And try to rest your eyes, in the meantime. A warm eye pillow helps.

Neat! They somehow also look like lizards sticking their tongue out at eachother.

Some of the best artists were so because of perceptual issues.

This is very pretty and interesting motivation! Im sorry for the reason for it, but I'm glad you are working with it to get your thoughts and/or feelings out :)

Thank you! I'm considering doing more like this but express my viewpoint with my mh. dissociation and derealization are big things I struggle with.

My only critique would be to draw in some blank paper, get a nice proper sketchbook l. your drawings and sketches deserve a nice home!

I hope you have a quick recovery! Keep creating ;)
