Memories Are The Only Things That Bury The Dead Forever

Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".

The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.

If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.

Urgent help

I am Ola Ferwana from Palestine ,Gaza. I'm a mother of 3 kids Yamen, Qusai and Mira. My husband travelled to Egypt to get medicines before 2 days of the war 7 of October on Gaza and he was stuck in Egypt until this moment.

I faced very great challenges and responsibilities of my three children in the absence of my husband, as he had traveled and the crossing was closed and we could not see each other. The amount of suffering I was feeling cannot be described as still being in the north of Gaza.I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a plea for urgent assistance. I have left my home and have been displaced more than 8 times with my children. I am living in the war_torn region of Gaza, facing unimaginable challenges, with lack of water, food scarcity, and constant threats to their safety.

This is our street of my house, the Israeli occupation damaged all the houses.

I have delivered a girl baby,Mira , through the war, She was 10 months old and my husband didn't see her until this moment.

Yaman was 7 years old, and his simplest dream was to complete the first grade at school, but his school was completely destroyed. He lost the most beautiful thing that he was happy with and enjoyed that he had reached this stage.

Qusai is 5 years old, and until this moment I do not have the courage to tell him that his kindergarten was also destroyed, the first place and refuge in which he was happy, but in this war he lost everything beautiful. He lost his father’s hug, which was his only refuge when he slept at night, telling him his daily story to fall asleep safety.

Mira, my daughter, who had never seen an hour or a moment devoid of fear, came into this world and was surprised by a war that destroyed many, many things. It destroyed her house and her room, which I was waiting for as I prepared and brought her all the beautiful clothes and colorful dresses she needed. She was surprised by the sound of missiles. She could not sleep because of it. My husband hopes to get a smile and a hug from her daughter Which he had been waiting for some time.

We lack of the basic human needs, no food no electricity no water. We were poisoned and infected because of the unhealthy water that we drink.

My three children and I had to be hospitalized. We suffered from liver dysfunction as a result of malnutrition, widespread diseases, and recurring infection.

During this period, I felt remorseful about how difficult it is for a mother to see her children sick and unable to treat them because she is also very sick.

The Rafah border crossing, which is the only way to escape from the war, is closed now.

I hope to provide us by giving support in order to cover the costs associated with ensuring our safe passage of Egypt through the borders. Please stand with me, we are now homeless, with absence of children needs like milk, diapers, with no food. Please help us by donation to stay a live and leave Gaza with my children. Share this link as you can as possible .

If it is opened, I can't go to Egypt as I don't have the money because my husband is the sole breadwinner for my family.

Thank you for your kindness, empathy and generosity during this challenging time.With sincere thanks and warm regards,

Random Scene With Stan

Dialouge: Wow, poindexter! You really outdid yourself this time...

I was just messing around with this drawing. I suppose this scene takes place when Ford show him the portal, but eh. I was loosely basing it off of that. I used zero reference for this because it was supposed to be a doodle, not a fully drawn picture. I tried to make it look somewhat science-y (how many lights make it science?). I was honestly just messing around with lightsources. So if it doesn't look good, that's because I have no idea how to draw lightsources (why, it's almost as if I should practice that). The blue light (that's reflecting off of Stan) is supposed to be coming from the portal (off-scene).

I'm not hugest fan of this drawing, even though I put more work into it than my other ones, but "that's art, baby!" My previous doodles are a bit more to my liking. I've drawn Stan, Mabel, Dipper, and the little Stans. I think my favorite is the one with Mabel. Though, I still haven't drawn (old) Ford.

You're Back

Okay, I don't have much to say about this drawing. Usually, I like to talk about my process and critique my art, but I didn't really experiment with this one. Though, I did force myself to work on anatomy, so that's good. Also, I'm realizing that past me didn't really know how Siffrin's hair works. Honestly, the white part of his hair is probably shorter than his black hair. The white parts might also be longer at the sides. I still don't know, to be honest.

By the way, the date on the drawing is wrong. It was finished in March, not February. I made this drawing on the same day I made the blended version of this drawing of Siffrin (which is in my previous post). I'm tired, but I'm going to post like three more drawing of Siffrin, so bare with me.

The Shooting Star

Here's my first post (and first finished drawing) of the year. I spent a long time on the background, and I think I did a good job. This was a very experimental piece. First off, I'm using a new art app. I use to use a very outdated Flipaclip to make my drawings, but, when I got my new phone, I could only get the newest version of Flipaclip. Yeah, I absolutely hate it now. I've started using Infinite Painter instead, so my drawings are going to look a bit different now. I was trying to experiment with a pose and with the lighting of the piece. I've been trying to learn anatomy, so I've trying to draw more poses. I also want to get better at lighting in my drawings, so I've been adding light sources to my art. Overall, I really liked how this piece turned out.

Check out my previous drawing of Mabel!

Transcript: You can do this forever...

My favorite part of my art process is the color. Color can bring a piece to life, make it feel full. But...

It's hard to do that with a character that's just black and white! Since I've been mostly drawing Siffrin, my usual coloring process has become boring. Though, on the plus side, this makes me want to experiment more. I've been messing around with the tools in my art app (Infinite Painter) during my art process recently. That's how I got this piece. I used one of the charcoal tools for the shadows. I think it's called Glazed Vine. I don't remember what tool I used for the values on the cloak. It might have been the same tool, but I think it was different.

With using absolute black for Siffrin's design and the background, I had to outline the blacks with thin white line art. Though, with the lines being so thin, they were somewhat translucent. Whenever I had to use multiple strokes for a connected line, you could see everytime I lifted up my stylus. I tried to fix this by inking the lines multiple times. That fixed the problem, but that made the lines way too bright. So I looked at one of the lines that didn't need multiple attempts of line art, and I used my color picker on the line to get a light gray. Then I used the light grey to redo the bright white line art, and viola. Problem solved!

I had difficulty figuring out the pose and anatomy for this artwork. I probably should have searched up a reference, but meh. I think it turned out pretty good, anyways. I think I struggled with making the feet look like they're touching the ground, though. I suppose there could be more anatomy mistakes, but hey! Siffrin's cloak does a fantastic job at hiding any mistakes I could've made. Speaking of the cloak, I really like how it turned out! I think I did a good job with the cloak folds.

And that's basically all I have to say about this piece. Though, I want to mention that, for some reason, it's easier for me to draw anatomy and poses on paper than on my phone. I don't really know why that is. Maybe it's because I have more surface to draw on with my sketchbook?

Anyhow, I'll go ahead and add the initial sketch and a screenshot of my artwork in the middle of the coloring process.

I was originally planning on this piece being about Siffrin sacrificing himself for their friends, but I ended up changing that. I also had to change the hands. You can see that the hand holding Siffrin's dagger is wrong.

I added the mid-color screenshot because I just think it looks cool. It kinda reminds me of something that Julia from Drawfee would paint.

Watching From Afar, Always Some Side-Character No One Cares to Search for...

There wasn't really a plan for this drawing that I had in mind. I was just messing around with this one. I felt like having a painter-y vibe for this. It gave me a lot more freedom than what I usually have. It was just a lot fun to do! I tried to figure out how the shadows would work, but I'm not too sure if they look right. For the light source for Siffrin, let's just say that the moon was really bright on this night and not that I put it there for no specific reason. I know that the game's art is black and white monochrome, but I wanted to use a purple monochrome instead. I had a lot of fun figuring out what hues to use.

Anyhow, here's the version without the air brush and here's the sketch concept:

Look! You can even see some birds and sailboats!

I liked drawing the birds. They were fun.

Okay, bye!

Edit: Today, I wrote my first ISAT fanfic on AO3! The writing in it flows a lot better than the writing in my posts, I promise. Check it out here: A Flowery Confession.
