OMG it took me forever to draw this. I don’t know why, it’s not even that complicated! All I do know is that my hand is cramping up like crazy. I think I need a new one.

Careful, artists have been known to get focal hand Dystonia. It happens to people who use their hands in a specific position for extended periods. If you continue using your hand after it begins cramping, the problem only worsens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystonia#Focal_dystonias
I found out about this because I had medication induced Dystonia 3.5 years ago. It tore up my muscles/ligaments/tendons, and was excruciatingly painful. Sometimes, simple tasks like walking up my driveway will be enough to cause further injury…
However, pain isn’t the only problem; Dystonia also causes muscle twitches and shaking, so anything requiring precision becomes much more difficult to accomplish. For example, when I play breakout, my arm twitches at the worst times, causing me to lose the ball.
Once you’ve aggravated the problem, it’s very difficult to get rid of, so make sure it doesn’t get any worse.
That doesn’t sounds fun at all! Seems like there’s a lot of things that can go wrong with one’s hands. Of course, I play guitar and a ton of video games, which probably isn’t helping my hands much either. AND I’m on the computer, typing all the time. Stupid hands.
So you want aliens to replace just your hand instead of the whole you?
Preferably with an awesome robot hand, with the strength of TWO artists
“hey wait, come back!”
*neck extends*
“nope”
Quick! Someone give him a hand!

I’d like to state that no matter what comes next, I intend to picture it textless to the tune of Yakkety Sax.
yes, draw with your non-dominate hand next time for the lulz
