Hi Tumblr! I Always Forget To Post On This Blog…

I have no idea how this came to be, but it’s national treasure now. Gimme gimme more. Now.

Take Your Kid to Work Day (with Dream's decidedly more alarming version of an artist rendering their kid's drawing)

Mystical town. Urban sketches. #3, set of 10

There’s a shadow in the corner, cradling a small light.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

People out there are suffering every day. The minimum we can do is support them however we can from afar.

Don’t forget Palestine, don’t forget Gaza.

Thought the exact thing. Speedran the series only point out how many complaints I got about the writing. It’s fantastic visually, but the writing is poor.

So I had to stop on episode 6. Gonna continue watching tonight. I just have one thing to say so far. People think a good adaptation is the one that follows the story of the original. It’s not. It’s the characters. The characters are the ones that made the original so good. And none of them are as fleshed out here. You cannot seriously tell me the katara you see in the original is the one you see in the live action.

The writers decided to take the struggle and the growth of the characters away. I’m on episode 6. So far, Aang had everything come so easy to him, he didn’t struggle at all. Kyoshi fought for him at Kyoshi island. He enters the spirit world so easily, he finds Roku so freaking fast, he immediately knows Hei Bai is the spirit of the forest, out of nowhere. He learns absolutely nothing through those 6 episode. I could talk for hours about how that scene with Gyatso was a cop out. Why should their main character suffer right? He shouldn’t. So they just make up a scene where Aang meets Gyatso and he just outright tells him there’s nothing he could have done so he shouldn’t feel guilty.

The OG never had that scene. Because the OG knew the audience was smart enough to realize it themselves. There was nothing Aang could have done if he hadn’t run away, he would have died. But Aang needs to realize this himself, he needs to confront his feelings, learn from his mistakes, forgive himself and move on. But these days, writers don’t want their characters going through a journey, nope, the characters are just perfect, from the beginning to end.

Same said for Zuko. The writers apparently decided to make him softer, have higher morals, not as angry or determined, because that would make Zuko complex and interesting. He was good at heart in the OG show too, but he was spoiled and angry and violent. He’s none of that here, he’s gentle and respectful to everyone and just wants to capture the avatar, but not too much though. Zuko doesn’t even give everything he has to capture Aang, he doesn’t hire pirates, he doesn’t hire June himself (Iroh has to convince him to do it), he doesn’t follow Aang into the fire nation, you don’t feel his desperation, his determination, just how much he wants to go home. How could his journey feel interesting when we don’t see the dramatic shift in his character? The most interesting character in the show is not as ineteresting when he doesn’t go from a spoiled angry hurt teenager to an honorable smart and compassionate young man.

Yes, the story is fine, the visuals are nice, but it’s all very surface level. Everything is just flat.

I like this take. Nothing else to be said. Fic writers (who will not be me this time cuz although I could, I don’t have the time), make it happen

this whole “interesting choice in date” thing was jealousy on both sides and nobody can tell me otherwise

Little background I did for my media, including youtube, tumblr and ko-fi. I think it looks super nice :), it is like the second background I draw. I think it’s not that bad, right?

Yaaay gold fishiee! ✨✨🤩🐠🐡🐟

I got some new watercolor paper that I needed for some college homework, so I experimented a little bit with it, since I wasn’t sure how well it’d behave.

I normally work with 100% cotton, and this one was 50% so I was kinda doubtful it’d behave, but it actually did quite decently. It just bends a little even with the tape on, can’t handle as much water (aka backgrounds that cover it almost completely).

Pretty boi 🌺

Another experiment with the new watercolor paper. I think I’ve only tried to do skin with watercolor once before. At the beginning I thought it looked terrible. But it actually turned out quite okay :D.

I love this one.

As always, DO NOT trace, copy, or otherwise steal credit for this artwork.

I kinda liked it more without the black in the clothes, but oh well, too late. I like them both. I really really liked just the simple sketch version too, but my original idea was to do the lineart so I ended up doing it anyway. I really like his face, he looks a lot like a Renaissance statue; very expressive on its own.
