this is what long covid feels like [CW: body horror illustration, occasional art nudity]

2025-8-17 The water isn’t the whole picture… but what is?

The figure is in the cup of water, but this time it's different. The water fills the cup entirely, and doesn't look realistic. It has choppy, undulating sharp patterns, including swirling lines, some of which are darker and greener and maybe reminiscent of kelp. they somewhat frame the figure, on two sides of the cup going up. the figure has red choppy angular insides, and scribbly dark purple/green limbs. the head is skull like but distorted black and red shimmer, as has been the migraines and anaphylaxis recently. the bode is less realistically rendered. the throat and armpits are also darkly scribbled. the water fills the entire top of the cup, and doesn't have a realistic waterline. teal dark swirls come to a point at the top of the cup and around them are many more light sharp swirls and sharp white negative spaces in the water. the water is still in the color scheme but the textures are jagged and the shapes are different. there's almost a horizontal line cutting across under the figure's knees in the water too
