Testosterone and $10 Art! by Robo-Shark
Today has been a big milestone for me - after years of suffering through gender dysphoria, I've begun the hormone treatment therapy I've needed for so long.
I administered my first shot of testosterone today, which should help to start improving my mental and physical health greatly! I'm really fortunate to have been able to get this far. But although I'm diagnosed with gender identity disorder, my insurance will not help cover any of my medication expenses. This means my vial of testosterone will cost over $100.
I'm doing all I can to afford the costs out of my own pocket, so I will be taking on yet more commissions. I have one left to complete and would like to fill my slots as quickly as possible - I will be doing 10 simple $10 colored sketch commissions.
Level of detail and completion will be based on detail of the character, as each will be completed in approx. 30 minutes. If you'd like a longer timed drawing or multiple characters, you can send extra if you'd like. :)
I will try to stream at least some of them sometime next week!
$10 Color Sketch Slots
ALL FULL!
I also have handmade plush for sale in my Etsy shop!
Thank you all for your help and support!

Congrats on starting the testosterone! I bet that feels wonderful. I'm not in your shoes but I can only imagine.

First, congrats for taking the first step towards being the person you want to be, really happy for you :3. Second, do you have an example for what such a commission would look like? I'm more than interested to commission one of these simple sketches, but I'd appreciate an example first ^^

Gahhhhh!!! Congratulatons dude!!!!!! I should draw you something to celebrate this life achievement!!! 8DD hugs and squeezes
How was administering the needle?? did you have to push really hard?? >.<
OOOOO IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU-
Thank you so much! I actually just uploaded my vent art from it...heh. I haven't posted much more about it here but things have been very sad and difficult for me as my dad is so depressed over this. And my family means more to me than my own life, but I had to do this to save my own life. So. Guess it is what it is.
The needle's easy, much easier than the coming out part. Lol. You just push it in firmly, goes in about 1.5 inches. The actual testosterone's pretty thick so it takes some pushing. Doesn't hurt until the next day, lmao. Thank you!

Oh I don't think I saw the vent art... D: and I'm really sorry about your dad... I know it really hurts to have someone close to you not support you, but family must be worse. Just remember do what makes you happy and you'll stay happy. I'm sure your family will come around soon once they see you're not crazy and this is what you really need to be happy.
;A; gahhhh lol its gonna be so strange for me to do this. I hate needles and shots. Im actually somewhat afraid of them. this will take some getting used to that's for sure
-
Ah it'll work out in the end. He's actually taking it a ton better than I expected, I just feel so horrible about hurting him. It's the last thing I ever wanted to do to my family. Thanks. <3
Hahah it was a little nervewracking the first time, but gotta do it every 2 weeks, so gotta get used to it right? Possibly every week in the future! You'll get there dude!
