Hey
Thank You for the invite, I am interesting to work on this project. I am already studying what ME/CFS is, so I can better illustrate. :) . My plan is in the next 24 hours ( I have another work to do ) upload first sketches so we can see where we are. After we finilize the sketch I will go to the final outline process. What do You say?
Thanks, Timoti

Sounds good. ME/CFS is whole-body fatigue. Imagine every cell being weak, starved of energy. Not just your muscles, your heart, your brain, your digestion. That :-)

And the issue I'm trying to illustrate is that there's no cure and little understanding. When we come up against consultants they run the normal tests and return (always) with, "everything's fine". The lab colour codes the results for them, all green. Fabulous. But in front of them is someone who has made a herculean effort to be there, arrived in a wheelchair, can't get up the energy to speak or word-find. "Everything's fine". No, it's really not.

(It's my partner, btw, with ME/CFS.)
