This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Much better. I no longer need to wear bandages but it's 6 months until my skin is back to normal they said. No direct sunlight and lotion 3x a day. Right not it looks like rare to medium rare prime rib in color.

And thank you on the colors!

You're welcome! I'm glad you're feeling better. When it happened to me, the thing that haunted me was the smell, and I was very anxious for a few decades about having to perform the activity that caused it, but I couldn't avoid it and eventually got over myself.

Trauma from things like this is normal. How long ago did it happen to you?

When I talked to the staff in the burn unit they got pressure cooker injuries all the time which is wild to me. They even had a whole form I had to fill out both times I went in which was all about identifying how much trauma I was experiencing.

Ouch, burn care was a lot different then. I can only imagine how it hurt. I know the first few days after mine I didn't think I could do it. Caring for the wounds hurt so much.

I can remember that it was extremely painful and that blisters were coming a few days after the initial burn, but I don't remember the exact pain., thankfully. And I remember the family that was there for me as I healed. You'll be tender for a bit; but I daresay you will remember your wife's support long after your new skin is not tender. I'm glad you have good support and a good attitude. That's key to healing.

Without a doubt, my wife is the best! She's my favorite and I tell her that all the time.

It's amazing being married to my best friend.

This warms my heart so much. Thank you. My best to you and your family. ❀️
