Arteriovenous Malformation, or AVM for short obstructs your way. Your sense of sight feels off, yet you can "see" everything. Or can you? There seems to be a blind spot... Maybe?

I got diagnosed with this thing mid-january and it wasn't a fun moment, to be perfectly honest. I don't mind it as much now since it's not a big deal (extremely small chance of it getting worse, doesn't impact my day to day life, etc.) but it means I'll have to live with a slight visual "blur"/shimmer for at least a good while since getting rid of it would most likely mean getting rid of my left eye's sense of sight (best thing I could compare it to would be a very tiny and localised "visual tinnitus" in the sense that you only really start noticing it if you pay attention to it, but it's always there).

This piece started as a fun "goat with lotsa eyes and 3D veins" idea, but it very recently morphed into a representation of the malformation itself, kinda like the cyst piece

There also are a bunch of small details I'm really happy with, like all the subpixelling on the main character, a small cleanup step to take out some noise added by the blender rendering (mainly at the very bottom of the piece. I didn't clean all of it up, but I cleaned up some which I usually don't do) and the cleaned up sine wave leg tendrils which were animated once by offsetting them each frame by x amount of pixels and then manually touched up to look better, so all and all, a good amount of effort went into this.
