BIRTHDAY HAIRCUT

Let's pretend I'm posting this on February 29th for my own sake. Because this bitch of a drawing was kicking my ass every step of the way and anytime I thought I was done I kept tweaking it. I couldn't stop. Even now I'm fighting the urge.

Anyways, I've been trying to redesign Tyler multiple times and the one feature I could never settle on was his hair. So I thought it would be fun, if as a 'final design reveal' he would get a haircut. There's also something here about both of them being trans now and the intimacy of getting a haircut from your situationship but it's not obvious because all the lore is in my heart. But trust me, it's there.

Is this his final design? Probably not. I think my brain just needs to get used to this and I need practice.

#my art #art #digital art #illustration #illustration art #original art #original characters #my ocs #trans characters #I've transed their genders in their redesign #bathroom #haircuts #chanting 'I'm done' as I post this because I was about to start futzing over this again #I mean I'm glad I didn't give up becuase comparing this to the previous version is horrendous but I need to stop #I want to move on #his face still looks a bit too similar to my very first oc so I still feel like I'm being haunted but it's all in my head #I honestly forgot I was having problems drawing the bathroom that feels so long ago

WARM UP 11

I'm working on this other drawing about haircuts and genders and I got really frustrated with it so I drew this drawing instead also about haircuts and genders. It actually helped me figure out how to color the background of the other one so that's cool.

Anyways, I cut my hair last week and it's kinda too short. Oops.

#my art #art #digital art #illustration #illustration art #warm up #color palette #original art #self portrait #haircut #bathroom scene #bathroom #i drew this at midnight ya'll so i got mixed feelings #gender art #it's about gender because any time I cut my own hair I get lots of weird feelings about my gender #like this time for a whole day I actually considered cutting it even shorter because I convinced myself I could pull off a mullet of sorts #and look extra cool but any time I blinked I look too fem with my hair down #can't wait for it to grow just a bit longer and then it'll be the ideal length

WARM UP 10

I don't draw for a whole week and suddenly I can't get myself to finish a drawing. Anyways, I've finally taken the leap and colored a mini cityscape and I drew this from memory so be kind please.

A couple of months ago I found this really cute picrew created by @wowitsbloo and I had the sudden urge to redraw this adorable silly little cat in my style:

Here's the link for it! Go have fun!

Places to donate to help Palestine

PCRF.net - They did over a 100 medical missions in 2022 (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund)

Middle East Children's Alliance - A Non-profit organization fighting for the well-being and rights of Middle Eastern Children. They also have a link to a 'tool kit' to help spread information about the Gaza Genocide. I'm linking to it directly HERE

Anera: Where Hope Finds a Way - They provide everything from food, medicine and hygiene kits. $30 equals 16 blood bags - an essential thing for helping doctors help people survive horrible physical trauma.

UNICEF.org - Link to where you can donate to help UNICEF get aid to those suffering in Palestine.

And because I know damn well that lots of people don't have the extra funds to donate money - you can help by simply clicking here once a day. It donates ad revenue. Click to help Palestine

[I wanted so much to find other places people could donate that weren't in the US or Canada, but I was having problems figuring out how to ensure that they were reputable. If anyone knows of any, please reblog and add the links!]

And some basic informational sources for those who want to understand what's really going on other than the misleading information from the media.

BDS - The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians. Offers actual news about what's happening.

Decolonize Palestine - In depth information about the history and origins of Palestine. Also has a great 'debunked myths' section that lists almost all of all the lies the Media has been peddling.

Mondoweiss - An independent website devoted to informing readers about developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy. (Be aware: Some articles show disturbing images of the horrors happening in Gaza.)

Petitions I found with reputable track records (there are a LOT of fakes out there)

Canada:

Independant Jewish Voices Canada - Gaza on the Brink Ceasefire Now! - Prewritten letter to Justin Trudeau and Mélanie Joly calling for an immediate ceasefire, and for an end to the collective punishment of Palestinians. Just sign your name and it sends a letter!

There are several other ways (Including email addresses to various people/companies, as well as physical addresses you can mail letters to) listed here.

DON'T send threats/hate mail. That does nothing but make them double down on their current stances. Be polite. You don't have to take a happy tone, but be polite.

United States:

USA - Tell Congress: Stop Fueling the Gaza Genocide - Demanding an immediate ceasefire and for Humanitarian Aid to be allowed into Gaza.

Jewish Voice for Peace - You can use their form for send a letter to Congress to demand that they should focus on de-escalation instead of sending money and weapons to Israel so they can continue their genocidal war against Palestinians.

Jewish Voice for Peace (part 2) - Fill out this form and inform President Biden that he should call for a ceasefire and stop supplying money and weapons to Israel.

Free Palestine - ceasefire now!

There is currently a strike for Palestine taking place from February 18th, 2024, to February 25th, 2024. During this time, I will only be posting about Palestine on this account and doing what I can to spread awareness. If you are able, I highly recommend participating in the strike in whatever way you are able - something is always better than nothing. Staying home from work and/or school, not buying anything that isn't strictly necessary, using your social media platforms only to boost posts about Palestine, etc., are all ways to help the efforts!

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

Psst. Come here. Yes, you, come here. Allow me to let you in to a little secret.

When an artist draws fanart of a Thing and posts it online, there’s a 99.9% chance they’re looking to make friends with people who also enjoy said Thing.

What I’m trying to say is please just come talk to me I have so many emotions and drawing them simply isn’t enough
