Please Don’t Turn Blind Eye To Our lives, Our Hope Begins with You

Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to destruction, fear, and instability, starvation, thirst, and poverty.

Since 471 days until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking.

After a long and tiring effort, my Tumblr account @olasfamily has been disabled, and I have to start over. I feel sad and lost, but I don’t want to face this journey alone. I kindly ask you to share and support us; every donation and every share means a lot to me in this difficult time. Please don’t leave me to face this challenge on my own.

I am writing to you as we struggle through very difficult conditions with winter approaching. The cold is becoming harsher by the day, and we lack the warm clothing needed to endure this freezing weather. We cannot afford to buy new clothes due to the steep rise in prices, and most of what we have is old and worn out.

We are longing to rebuild our shattered lives, and I can't do it without you. I need your support to complete my education and help my family rise from the ruins and find hope again.

You mean the world to us, now more than ever. Please, don’t let us down 💔

I have a discord server for anyone who cares to join (we yap about art and fandoms. Maybe other stuff here)

New oc I'm working on. Haven't figured out her main design so have a lazy sketch of her other form :/

I first saw your art on Deviantart and I love it so much! Which program and brushes do you use pls (any art advice as well 👉👈)

hello! Thank you soo much for the kind words! To answer your question I use Ibispaint as my primary drawing program because I'm broke lol. I mostly just use textured brushes

I also just overlay paper textures on my stuff and add chromatic aberration filters on them. Sorry if it isn't exactly helpful, I'm figuring out this stuff too. Good luck on your art journey I wish you the best. Just remember to have fun (and not be afraid to use references)

Character meme time ^^ (again)

Based on an unsettling nightmare (dream??) I had last night (TW: Eyestrain)

Multiply and Linear burn respectively. I also tried out an art style I have used since I was drawing on my computer

Dream description and close up under cut

The dream (or what I remember of it) was like I felt somewhat paralysed, like I couldn't speak or move, and when I tried to move it felt like a massive gravity was pulling me down and my head was hurting as if it had been shocked like some electric storm was happening in it. My chair(s!? I only have one chair) were falling in front of my bed, but very slowly, as if constricted by gravity, in front of my bed and a door open with a bright, scarlet light was in front of me. I jolted awake eventually, hyperventilating, and felt much better after a short prayer for protection in sleep, then went back to bed, peacefully. Tye next morning, I woke up, and drew this. I remember the room being dark with red highlights and it didn't even look like my room anymore so yeah (I think I might have sleep paralysis now 🥲)

The next time you have an insecure thought, I pray you pause and remember this verse. I pray you take a moment to really meditate on what it means: Look at yourself with gratitude and awe, knowing you are the result of God’s creativity and expert handiwork. You are a reflection of His wisdom, intentionally set apart through your design for His purpose.

God delights in you, and how He created you. Genesis 1:31 says that when God looked at all He had made, He declared it “very good.” That relates to you too! There’s no part of your design that’s a mistake. No matter what society tries to impose on you, remember that God’s thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours. The wisdom of the world is nothing compared to the infinite wisdom of God. Let that truth sink in and shape how you see yourself.💕

Random lol, but: Could this be another reason God looks past appearances and prioritises our hearts? Because He knows His works are perfect anyway—so why not focus on what truly matters? (1 Samuel 16:7)

Words to note if you want to:

The word “fearfully” comes from the Hebrew root yare, which means to revere, respect, or stand in awe. You are a reflection of God’s awe-inspiring, to be revered and respected handiwork and power.

The word “wonderfully” comes from the Hebrew root pala, which means to be distinct, set apart, or uniquely marvelous. You are intentionally designed, set apart, and uniquely crafted with precision, care, and infinite wisdom.

God bless you!💗

Ah yes, the queen of the sarcasm RainWings

She was such a girlboss in Book 3
