Let's just say you got into a horrible accident and lost both your hands in an accident.

How would you deal with that?
>>
I guess I have to get used to feet then. Have to fap with something.
>>
I'd just shitpost through vocaroo
>>
>>2498034
I have such shitty carpal tunnel I practically paint like my form arm isn't there anyways since it is either in incredibly pain or completely numb. I just sorta grip the in a way that it stays still and move my whole arm to draw on my display.

I could see using a prosthetic like that easily.
>>
get me some bad ass robo hands and make that work


my father was right handed and after he got shot in 89 he lost the use of his right arm so he re-taught himself left handed and actually managed to achieve the same level of skill
>>
Suicide desu. Not interested in appearing in feel-good articles about how anything is possible with enough determination. Life would suck without hands.
>>
>>2498034
I was in a motorcycle accident a few week ago. Some dumb cunt took a u-turn right into my lane, and I smashed into the side of her car, and was thrown over the hood. Both of my hands got fucked up, particularly the wrists, but nothing was broken. Also smashed my thighs against the handlebars, and if I had hit them an inch higher, I would have been castrated. My motorcycle was totaled.

My wrists still hurt, particularly the left one, but at least I can still draw. It's not really relevant to the thread, but I figured I'd mention it.
>>
>>2498034
You can paint using your mouth to hold the brush.
>>
>>2498068
You gonna sue them for a couple 100 thousand, right?
>>
>>2498083
I would, but I don't live in America.
>>
>>2498039
Did you get carpal tunnel from drawing? How could that happen?
Does your skill suffer now or are you good with arm movement?
I think my hands feel kinda funny lately...
>>
>>2498034

kill myself in a heartbeat.
>>
>>2498034

Thank God I'm not a surgeon.
>>
Work on a canvas big enough that drawing with my whole arm will let me achieve what I want to. My wrist is already fucked up.

>>2498039
My dominant hand's wrist has been fucked long before I started drawing. A combination of repetitive motion injuries and fucking up a power clean did it. It's acting up again now because I tried to play my guitar for half an hour and was too aggressive with my picking. I'm wearing a wrist brace now and I can still draw fine. I draw with my whole arm, and anchor my hand and use my fingers for details. I can still use my mouse OK by dropping the sensitivity and using my whole arm.

If the past is any indication, hopefully the pain will go away in a few days and I'll have to baby it for a while. Thanks to the US "healthcare" system I can't see a specialist, and even if surgery would help there's no way I could afford it.

>Let's just say you got into a horrible accident and lost both your hands in an accident.
as oppose to getting into a horrible accident and losing both my hands on purpose?
>>
>>2498273
OP's grammar is verbose but fine. Fuck off.

>as oppose
>>
>>2498034
I'd just kill myself at that point, health issues have already taken football and heirship away from me, if they make art any harder I'll allahu akbar the closest bank and I'm not even muslim.
>>
>>2498034
If you learned to draw with your shoulders instead of your wrists, you should be fine.
>>
Just the hands? Do I still have full mobility in my arms?
Get a prosthetic capable of holding a brush, paint with my arm. Done.

I doubt I'm enough of a sick cunt to go all the way to using my mouth or feet (or stumps like the OP pic) if my proper arms got blown off, though. Forget art, I don't know what the fuck I'd do in general if that happened.
>>
Draw from the shoulder

There is nothing that could drive me to end my life any faster than losing both hands.

Sit back and collect a check from the govt until I die. Life would suck ass without even one hand to get by. I wouldnt even try to relearn how to draw.
>>
>>2499836
Better hands than eyes, perhaps?
>>
>>2498034

hook hands, or brush hands, like one of those prosthetic wrists from captain hook

>>2498257
Can't you just get insurance, wait 6 months to a year, then go to the doctor?
>>
Well the guy who did the rumble roses art uses his mouth to draw. Can't find the video on youtube....
>>
>>2498110
yup. It's constantly completely numb and makes precision strokes harder and harder as the day goes on. It's gotten this bad because I'm an idiot and didn't take enough breaks while painting. I regularly paint 10-12 hours a day though.

I can get surgery to help but I can't afford it yet.

>>2498257
yay healthcare

>>2500206
The kind of insurance that's going to pay for a past injury like this you're going to be paying a shit ton for anyways. Like $500 a month. So by the time you have paid up for 6 months you could have just gotten the surgery and paid in cash anyways. I think it's something like $3000-$4000 an arm/wrist without insurance but because of how the US healthcare works it's literally impossible to find a price. It's retarded.
>>
>>2501505
I was interested in that, so I've found the video.

It's actually impressive that he can draw like that only using his mouth. I've seen his art before, but I would've never guessed he's a handicapped person.

damn, anon, I know internet porn's free, but you need to scale it back, friend

It was Quake 2 and 3 plus typing with really shitty form. But it was manageable until I fucked up a power clean. I'm not sure if that's less embarrassing now that I think about it.
>>
Use my feet
>>
>>2499836
losing eyes would probably be worse for me, or even my hearing, since so much of what I appreciate about life is heard or viewed. Hands seem easier to replace than eyes, too.

holy shit man

eeh, less that eyes or something. Prosthetics are quickly getting better.
>>
>>2498034
good thing i have a pointy nose

Attach pencil to forehead. Use head to draw.

Duh
>>
>>2498039
I also have a repetitive motion injury and one thing has helped me with it and that's weed.

Hear me out, you don't have to smoke it. Look into CBD salves. They're non psycoactive (meaning you won't get high off them), they're legal in the US (CBD derived from Hemp is now legal in all 50 states) and it's literally the only thing that has made the pain go away when I draw. just slather it on, let it dry and by the time it does you won't even notice the pain.

If you're in CO I reccommend the muscle salve that The Green Solution sells, I literally don't feel pain anymore when I use it.

It's totally her fault for the shitty u-turn but any motorcyclist is rolling the dice, nigga. You can be completely competent and still get fucked by some other idiot.

Would rather lose anything else but the eyes and the hands

Jesus. There is literally no excuse to be a shit artist when this guy is a professional using only his mouth.

Idk, i lost my right hand for like a year because of carpal so i trained my left one
Without hands id probably an hero, unless i had money for loli maids to scratch my back and wipe my butt
Lol this thread is depressing
>>
>>2511429
How would you an hero if you don't have any hands?
>>
Cash in on disability, attach pencil in a clamp to wrist stump.

I mean, it'd suck balls for all the normal living stuff, but I already trained myself to draw from the elbow and shoulder to save my wrists anyway, so it'd mostly be a matter of figuring out how to re-adapt pen pressure.
