* Shine from ''Webcomic/NextSoundOfTheFuture'' is an aspiring IdolSinger with a disability that makes her unable to sing. Her disability made her give up on her dream in the past, but after [[spoiler: she meets a doctor who can give her a device that will allow her to sing]], she decides to try and becoming an idol again.

'''Bender:''' Or like how Rembrandt was blind and had wooden hands!

* Jacob Andrews of WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} is colourblind, and has stated in one of the extra videos that due to this he has to remember colour positions in the art applications he uses because he tends to unwittingly go towards green when colouring yellow.

* There are a good number of notable one-handed pianists. Wiki/TheOtherWiki actually [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Classical_pianists_who_played_with_one_arm has a whole page]] dedicated to one-handed pianists, including:

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': The boy in Season 1 episodes 33 and 34 has an ear disease that impedes his hearing, yet is very talented at playing the piano.

* Creator/CharlesRKnight, the artist of many iconic early Dinosaur paintings, was legally blind and also couldn't see out his right eye.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Jimmy has a pervasive stutter and stammer, but his main pursuit is stand-up comedy, meaning his jokes often take a little while longer to deliver. He's also a bard in the game ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'', and has the same issue when singing.

** One of the articles from his first website has him [[http://www.seanbaby.com/absoludicrous/musign.htm reviewing a video by MUSIGN]], a hearing-impaired dance troupe. According to him, whatever they were doing to stay in step with the music they couldn't hear, it wasn't working all that well.

* ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'':Creator/DrewLynch explained in his appearance that he got a stutter following a sports injury and entered stand-up comedy in order to make the most of a negative situation.

* Crosses over with HiddenDepths in ''Series/BreakingBad'' when Skinny Pete, despite being a meth-addled junky and one half of ThoseTwoGuys, is shown to be a talented classical pianist, playing Solfeggietto by Bach before being interrupted by his far less talented but equally enthusiastic friend.

** Another article from that period, [[http://www.seanbaby.com/stupid/charity.htm Junk Mail Charity]], has him talking about various charity croups for which he had received advertising in the mail. One of them is Mouth and Foot Painters, a charity for disabled artists. He remarks that with the artistic skill they displayed in the postcards they were selling, they shouldn't need charity.

* An old Creator/{{Seanbaby}} article has him [[http://www.seanbaby.com/absoludicrous/musign.htm reviewing a video by MUSIGN]], a hearing-impaired dance troupe. According to him, whatever techniques they were using to stay in step with the music despite being unable to hear it, they weren't working all that well.

* In Music/TheWho's ''Music/{{Tommy}}'' album, the album's title character is deaf, dumb, and blind, but nevertheless "Pinball Wizard" discusses how he plays pinball better than the bystanders watching and hearing him play, and they're amazed by his skills and wonder how he does it.

* ''Film/GetOut'': The protagonist, Chris, meets Jim Hudson, a ''blind art dealer'' attending the family get-together of his girlfriend. Hudson takes interest in Chris's photography skills and at first seems like one of the few amicable people Chris has encountered during his stay with his girlfriend's family. [[spoiler:Cut forward to the climax and it's revealed that [[BitchInSheepsClothing Hudson]] wants to transfer his brain into Chris's body to regain his sight.]]

* ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'':
** Creator/DrewLynch explained in his appearance that he got a stutter following a sports injury and entered stand-up comedy in order to make the most of a negative situation.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Angel Angel]]: Perennial arsehole Lindsey lost his right hand to Angel, and everyone cheered. Only later on did we see him preparing for the day ahead and looking longingly at a guitar in his closet. Sympathy ensued.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': The body of the week from Season 4's "In the Dark" is found by Jackson Scott, a successful photographer despite being blind; he relies on sounds and scents for his muses instead of sight.

* Rin Tezuka of ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' lacks arms due to a birth defect, and thus paints with her feet and mouth. The trope gets discussed during her route when she tells Hisao about a boy in her art club who paints despite being blind.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Reynolds Jaspertarian was a famous painter whose portraits were met with great acclaim by the public. The big twist of his debut episode is that he was actually blind and relied completely on his touch to identify the objects he painted. This becomes a problem for Stan since one of the paintings is of Francine's vulva.
