Inktober 2024 - “Violin”

okay. holding ur hands as i say this. look me in the eyes. i know this is overwhelming so here's where we start. if he wants you dead then your first act of resistance is survival.

It's Indigenous Peoples' Day, and while I am seeing a lot of posts centering anger toward colonizers ("fuck Christopher Columbs" etc.), I have seen very few centering & celebrating Indigenous People themselves. If you want to make a direct & meaningful impact for Indigenous people today, please consider contributing to the mutual aid campaign for my dear friends.

They are 2-Spirit Inuk siblings dealing with chronic health conditions and facing eviction if they cannot raise funds to secure their housing. The goal is $1,000 CAD!

ANY amount helps! You can donate to my friends directly through paypal:

If you're in Canada doing an e-transfer, the password is: HOME

If you collect art, you can also support them by purchasing high quality archival copies of their printwork here! The print at the bottom of this post is just one example of their available work.

Bear in mind that the linked Instagram account only has a few posts because they created this account to preserve some semblance of privacy while requesting mutual aid. These are my personal friends, and I can guarantee that art purchases will be completely legitimate and fulfilled, and all donations will directly & immediately support the two of them.

I think that together, we can make this happen and keep them housed and safe!!! ♥️

Thank you for reading!!!

I can completely say that in the future if any of y'all see any animated content (both art pieces that have no movement and 2D animation) and it features flamenco in it, it's because of my dance class. My professor gave us free references to use for practice but I'll probably use some parts as pose references because holy shit it's good. (Also I'll give her credit since she's amazing)

Like I didn't expect to get references for dance so soon but here we are.

I talked about this on Twitter but art is gonna be a bit slow for a bit because I have a lot of shit I have to finish for my classes and unfortunately, I didn't space out my time correctly (my own fault btw) but like I really have to get all of these done within like the next two weeks.

I'll still probably have art afterward because if I don't draw I'll probably die of insanity from not drawing things I want to draw but I won't post them right away. After finals n stuff I'll be back to posting goofy shit but rn I have to be an adult more than I usually am.

Long haired Zashi! I really like that first one on the top left and the one on the top right those were fun to draw.

The bottom one on the right is like if he forgot to put on his contacts and basically was more Hizashi than Mic. Like he's got the look mostly but he's missing stuff y'know? Green contacts are the main difference tbh other than forgetting his glasses and speaker.

Bro is running on 20 minutes of sleep he needs a damn nap at least.

How does Hizashi serenade Shouta?

Small WIP! Working on the family tree between other things including school stuff. Just finished Hitoshi's own side (his mama and dad too)
