FigmentForms: art and other nonsense

@figmentforms / figmentforms.tumblr.com

Hello! I go by Lor or Fig. Any pronouns are fine with me. 37, aka tumblr antique. Please forgive me for how bad I am with keeping up with my inbox.
This is where I post my webcomic, "A Tale of Two Rulers" at the start of each month. I also put it up on webtoons, but this is further along.

Updates: Comic, Kickstarter, Cons and More

It's been a while since i posted anything and I just wanted to mention a few things that are in the works for the next several months.

1- ATOTR Updates!:

I plan to get back to updating A Tale of Two Rulers monthly again starting at the beginning of April! ^_^ Thank you all so much for your patience and support! I also have some comic copies and art books still available in my Etsy shop if anyone is interested! > https://www.etsy.com/shop/FigmentForms

2-Mothman Ita Bag Kickstarter:

I worked on a Kickstarter project to design a Mothman Ita bag with Adulting Axolotyl! Please check it out if you're into such things! I'm really happy with how the bag turned out and the stretch goals include a luna moth version and more!

3- Convention Schedule:

For health reasons I can't sell at conventions for a few more months BUT I still plan to have a booth at:

- Origins ( Columbus, OH, June 19th-23rd)

- GenCon ( Indianapolis, IN, August 1st-4th)

4- Charity Paintings Auction:

The world news lately had had me excessively angry so I made some paintings for auction that I will be starting in just a bit. Charity auction will be for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. <3

Thank you all so much!

Part 247 of  “A Tale of Two Rulers” (Jan 24, 2024)

I managed to finish something!!! ᕙ(⊙ᴗ⊙')ᕗ

Thank yo all so much for your usual patience and kindness! Next update will be in about two months. Hopefully sooner.

I won't be able to go do conventions for a while since getting sick right now would be very very very bad timing with my medical situation, so I took on a big commission and a kickstarter to supplement my income a bit, so that will slow me down. If you happen to like Mothman or/or ita bags, you may like the upcoming KS. I will make a post when it's ready, but I promise I won't spam about it.

(Also, comic will be looking a little different like this from now on because my old set up broke and i had to switch to another one. ^_^')

Sorry for the update delay again. The tumor/growth thing came back and I have another surgery scheduled for tomorrow (8th) to remove as much of it as they can again and to double check it to make sure the cells in that area aren’t the cancer kind. Plus dealing with some life things and a family emergency. Will get back to updates soon! Thank you so much to the people who stopped by and said hello at Galaxy con last weekend. Not sure if I will be able to do Ohayocon next month, (depending on medical stuff ) but I hope I can! Sorry again for disappearing

*update!* sorry! I should have made this update weeks ago! I’m ok! The biopsy yet again said no cancer. Sorry I’ve not been so behind and not answering things. My head hasn’t been quite right lately.

I’m also not going to be at any conventions for the next couple months just to be careful with the next part of the ivf process.

Next comic update is almost done! Excited about that! It’s extremely overdue. 😅

Thank you all for your kindness!🩷

THIS IS SO LATE!!! My brain finally kicked back on. I'm sorry, but thank you so much for understanding and being patient as always.

Thanks so much to all my amazing supporters that help make this comic happen! ♥

Also special thanks to loud-monotone-screaming for the great name suggestion for Duskar! Much appreciated! That's his name now.

And also thanks to biggaymatt for suggesting Bidna for "Boy Midna". Simple. Powerful. Good middle name for him.

I can’t update for a week or two. I really tried, but my IVF drugs are really interacting intensely with my brain and my body and all I can do is keep up with my self injections each day and suppress panic attacks by constantly distracting myself.

Good news is that, despite the fact that I constantly feel like a cat that has fallen into a bathtub of ice water and fire, the treatment is working (a little TOO WELL) so far and hopefully the egg retrieval surgery will happen a little sooner than expected and produce a big enough clutch of eggs that I NEVER have to do this again. 🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀

Other Good news is that now I’m no longer terrified of needles. Now I’m just moderately frightened. That’s legit a win and I’m proud of that.😎😎😎😎💪

So in conclusion I HATE FEELING EVERY FEELING AT ONCE SO HARD I feel absolutely out of my freaking mind and I’m in pain and swollen and and I’m constantly freaking out and omg I can’t wait to get OFF this ‘journey’.

It’s ok to laugh at me because honestly i feel like this is so terrible it’s hilarious and laughing about it actually makes me feel better about it.

Love you all so much! Thank you all for your kindness🩷

I ended up making this sketch as art therapy for working through my fear about my upcoming medical procedures/surgeries and I actually ended up feeling pretty proud of it, so I hope it's ok that I share it here. Moderately Zelda related. It's Scarecrow with a bit of a Skullkid style-twist.

No idea why, but when I get freaked out I sometimes start using Scarecrow as an avatar of exploring why i'm afraid and trying to work through it. lol, yet another toxic fave. I don't know why my brain works like this.

I'm sorry this was so late. It's no excuse, but I've been struggling with some things and it's slowed me down. I should be able to keep up with the usual update schedule now though. Thank you so much as always for your patience! I hope you enjoy the belated update! (Even though this is Gan at one of this worst moments)

For those who may be interested, I still have copies of my comic and my new art book for sale in my Etsy store right now.

Thank you!!!

GenCon was amazing and thank you so much to everyone who stopped by my booth to say hello! The kindness and support you all shared with me was really wonderful and I really appreciate it!

For those who may be interested, the AToTR Art Book is available in my Etsy shop now, along with all 3 volumes of the comic, plus some some other fun things! I'm especially excited about the new art book. Below is the link to my shop and some photos of the pages so you can get an idea of what it has inside.

Comic update will be in about a week or two. Still getting my brain back on track after the show. As always, I'm really grateful for your patience with my delays. ^_^'

Best wishes and thank you again!

I was a little unsure about opening up about the the things going on in my life with my last post, but I’m so glad I did. You all have been so kind and I’m so grateful to all of you. I know I don’t know you personally, but I’m so grateful that the world has you in it. To everyone else struggling, I hope things get brighter for you soon. Even if it turns out to not be in the way you had dreamed, I hope a new light shines on you that you never realized was there for you before. ♡
