Little friendly reminder for artists to disable their visibility towards third parties in Tumblr as it explicitly states they can use your data to train AI models <3

day 6

I'm not super pleased with this one either D: swings and round abouts, there's gonna be 30 of these!

Also, i should have gone to bed several hours ago and i'm falling asleep again. I feel like by the end of May i'm going to be able to paint while in REM

edit:

Oh no she looks like player 2 Blanka

While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

How to draw ears, by me.

In honor of the end of mermay and the start of pride month, here's a sapphic merm!

what do you mean it's already the 10th

Also, here's the original. I spend about i don't know, 8 hours on this, and kind of hated it.

Then i spent about 45 minutes tweaking the colors and adding rain and now i kind of like it again (or maybe i'm just half asleep lol.) I think i need to just start using more muted colors.

MerMay day 2

Did i draw these merms too big to fit 30 of them in the kelp forest, we'll fuckin see i guess

Also, 2 for 2 drawing the arms real weird. Maybe that's just mermaid anatomy in this universe. Mini merms have weird ass arms. World building! It helps them swim. Somehow.

putting my face in my hands i immediately started working on this once i got home from work.. all i wanna do is paint pretty mer au eislen illustrations

spec. spec. spec youve changed the game. i never realized your pointer finger and your wrist artery are the same. holy shit. im going to draw hands thank you

aasdjsd its not really an artery but its a useful landmark to facilitate the Flow of a pose imo

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

Mermay day 27!

almost a month in, and this is the first time i've played with a more different angle
