Despite being in the Advance Wars fandom for almost a year now, I haven’t really posted that much of my legitimate art online for mainly 2 reasons. 1, I didn’t have this blog at the time and didn’t want my main of mostly Splatoon fans to be confused, and 2, I was just embarrassed. But now that it’s been awhile, I thought I’d post some of it.
I drew this picture of Colin from sometime in August to sometime in September, I believe. It was the second full piece I did digitally for AW.
We got pirate Drake from again August to September. This specific one I originally was gonna have flipped, but when I flipped the canvas to check the proportions, I liked it better.
Another picture or Colin that I worked on from October to November. As you can see, I never ended up finishing it.
Clone Andy! I drew this one in less than a day, actually, back in December.
Being the 2nd the most recent finished piece I have in my AW folder, I drew this one in mid April. I was gonna post it on my main at some point, but I never did.
This isn’t all of the stuff I have in my Aw folder. In fact, there’s actually alot more. It’s just alot of it is unfinished.
There’s also a large amount of doodles, as well as sketches and flat colors. Since I draw in MS Paint and Paint 3D, I save my sketches, flat colors, and finished pieces all as separate pictures in case something corrupts. Here are some examples of them:
It’s interesting to see how the way I paint and draw has changed since I joined the fandom, it’s already been so long.

Gotta go, GN!

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.
--
no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.
