Hey! I Recently Had Top Surgery (woohoo!), And I Thought I'd Write Down What The Whole Process Was Like

hey! i recently had top surgery (woohoo!), and i thought I'd write down what the whole process was like for me, from start to finish (aka 6 weeks later). i hope this helps anybody looking into top surgery or just looking for someone else's experience!

quick info:

i got ftm top surgery as a transmasc person on October 23rd, 2024. i got the double incision type, without nipple grafts, plus liposuction. my surgeon was Dr. Rukmini Rednam in Houston, Texas, USA.

Wanna do something useful, that really does have an effect? I have been calling my reps in the Senate, Congress and State Gov.

I've been calling every single day since the election, a different issue and solution each day. It takes about 1 min per call. Hate phone calls? Email them!

My own calls on issues have ranged from Voting No on Trump's cabinet picks, his violations of the constitution and out civil rights, LGBTQ+ Rights, and his unforgivable pardoning of violent seditionists. Pick the issues that matter to you most. Make a list!

example: "Hi, I'm [ ] from [ ], and I wanted to let [Rep] know how I feel about [issue], and that they should [solution]. Thank you!" and then they take your contact info and thank u for using your voice. Be polite, and try to be succinct! One issue per call or email.

They have to listen to us. Every phone call helps me feel a little better, and is a more effective use of my voice than complaining on social media.

a digital painting of Link from the Zelda franchise - specifically the newer designs from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. he stands facing away from the viewer in a sheer and jewelry-laden outfit, seemingly taking off his veil. cold lighting comes from below and in front of him, casting most of his back in warm shadow. behind him is a blue-green gradiented background to represent the colors of the Zora domain

Link from BotW and TotK

the outfit i gave him is a combination of the gerudo outfit and the zora royal jewelry

this took me probably about 4.5 hours, on and off

here are the flats:

this is the same drawing, but only the flat colors atop the gradient background - no rendering, lighting, or details

the rendering was tricky because i don't have a lot of practice doing realistic lighting - and especially not bottom-up cold lighting with warmer shadows, so i hope it turned out well

back of sculpture

first big polymer clay sculpture!

of Euphoria, my DnD character I've posted art of a couple times now

in the background, a wooden posable model that I painted and decorated a few years ago to look like Azazel, Euphoria's patron

closeup of front of face

i used a wire and tin foil base, which i covered with polymer clay. i created and baked the body in one go, then the head and horns separately so they could fit in the small oven. then i painted him, added yarn for the fur and hair, and gave him a staff to help him stay balanced. finally, i inserted the antler wires into the head and glued them on, and stuck the head onto the wire post i left on the neck, and secured it all together. it took about 3 weeks worth of art classes to complete

side of full sculpture
front of sculpture, about 6 inches tall, of purple tiefling warlock Euphoria. he holds a staff to keep balance, along with his giant tail.
closeup of side of face
side of sculpture with figure of Azazel in the background - a grey angel with gold wings and molten gold covering his upper face

A drawing of Dan Avidan and Arin Hansen from the Game Grumps sitting on a couch. Arin has a VR headset on, and Dan is poking at his face. Out of focus microphones are in front of them
A drawing of Dan Avidan and Arin Hansen from the Game Grumps sitting on a couch. Arin has a VR headset on, and Dan is poking at his face. The microphones are not there in this photo

Dan and Arin (game grumps) playing a VR game

i directly referenced a screenshot from one of their VR game playthroughs to draw this because i found it stupidly funny how much they kept messing with eachother during them

these are from may, 2023, so they're a little old but i still like them! and looking back on it i'm very pleased with how the rendering on Dan's jacket came out, i might try to play around with that in future drawings...
