so for pride month im drawing some of my characters in pride dresses hehe, I started with Aaltt becuase people wanted me to do him first.
ultrabright colors and gradation map my beloved
[Start ID. Three color variations of the same messy sketch on a white background. Each one depicts V1 from Ultrakill, in the same pose as the protagonist on the cover for Doom. They're standing on a pile of gore rather triumphantly and lifting a Husk with one arm, by where its collar would be. The original drawing was in bright red, yellow, and blue, and the two others are in much softer palettes, one shades of green and the other purple through yellow. End ID]
I've been experimenting more with overlays and bright colors
I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.
but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.
telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.
Since for some reason I didn't start from the beginning I think I'll post them one at a time when I get to ten attacks (7/10 at the time of writing this), and then I'll post one a day! Art Fight has been taking up a majority of my time (I'm drawing way faster than previously thought possible), hence the inactivity, and I'm trying to finish one attack every day!
[Start ID. A very low-effort sketch of Magnificus from Inscryption. He's dressed in tinsel and ornaments to highlight his resemblance to a christmas tree, and looks less than enthused about this. The writing below him says "merry crisis". End ID]
its past 12AM you know what that means
Well.
A very happy thanksgiving to you all, and a very merry birthday to me!
I don't have a whole lot of money, and what I do have is going towards a move in the near future to escape an abusive household.
But for those of you with money, I can think of no better birthday gift than to donate to someone on this list. Some folks aren't lucky enough to enjoy a thanksgiving day this year.
If you can't donate, please share em. We can still get em putta there before the deadline.
Good day to you all.
Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!
