LoL,You are really humorous and hit the nail on the head. I am a skinny person and I only know two methods: losing weight and exercising.

I didn't expect that writing could cause such serious problems. I hope your wife is feeling better now.

Regarding the device you mentioned, I will try it out when necessary. Thank you for your recommendation.

As someone who spends a lot of time in front of a computer for work, I have found that a good ergonomic chair (Herman Miller Embody) and keyboard (Kinesis Advantage360) are well worth the price.

I hope the pain will disappear completely, or at least be less of a nuisance. As mentioned before, if you can communicate, people will usually forgive any health-related downtime.

How about doing away with colour altogether and trying a manga aesthetic? Or maybe explore colouring through AI? The new style is great, no worries. I think Erenisch on SubscribeStar has even less detailed shading/colouring and people are OK with it.

And I agree with blggg, you should start SubscribeStar as a means of community support for now. Maybe with a promise to return the favour in the form of graphics or something in the future.

Take care.

Thanks for your advice.

Haha, regarding this chair, if you have carefully watched "Fashion Queen", you will find that "Alexander Desire" company uses this type of chair. At that time, in order to make this company look very high-end, I searched for it. Hey, I really like its appearance, but the price is not pretty. I have been using an ergonomic chair that costs about $200. After years of observation, I think my problem is that when I draw, my body muscles are all tense, which is unconscious because my subconscious mind makes me concentrate. Comixchef works with his legs completely on the desk and his waist is twisted, but he does not have any waist pain problems. My current solution is to exercise and stretch properly, which I think has relieved a lot. I have paid attention to AI coloring, but currently they cannot meet the requirements for comic coloring.

Well, there you go, I must have missed that one.

Yes, I know the price is high, but life has taught me that you have to invest in your own health. So what if I save money on a chair now, but in 10 years' time I'll have serious back problems which, in the worst case, will cause me to lose my source of income? In my country, the above chair costs two average salaries (~$2000). Louis Rossmann mentioned on his YT channel that if you don't mind a used chair (Aeron) but in good condition (he uses one himself), Madison Seating sells them for 1/4 of the price (~$500) via eBay, unfortunately shipping only within the US.

Yes, daily gymnastics and playing squash twice a week has greatly improved my well-being and helped with back and neck pain, so I can also recommend sports/stretching.
