Day 17 Done! I Really Struggled With His Face Shape, And Then Realized It Was Just My Brain Being Bothered

Day 5 done! I had to really fight my face blindness on this one, but I hope I was able to do her justice. I really need to start watching False, she seems like a lovely person and her base this season looks great

We should be fine as long as we do not reblog bread.

Day 24 done! Behold...the Juppet

DC focuses way too much on Batman and Batman adjacent characters, to the point where I think it’s actually detrimental to the story.

One example is DC vs Vampires, where for six issues (half of the entire series), Hal Jordan was the primary antagonist we were following. Then at issue six he gets taken out weirdly easily (can writers please stop cutting off limbs so easily, bone is not a cardboard tube) and replaced with the completely new villain of Nightwing. At this point sure he’s a character that we’ve seen around, but there’s not that connection due to the whole build up with Hal. If they wanted Nightwing to be the big bad hidden in the shadows they still could have done that without getting rid of the character we were following the entire time. Then they go and make it so some vampires can defy Nightwing, but not Hal who canonically has the strongest will? Like they literally set it up for him to take out Nightwing and take his place, and they wouldn’t even have to make up a random alien blood plot point to make him immune to the usual vampire weaknesses. But instead the entire plot is reliant on the Batman characters despite it being DC vs Vampires. Plus they made Harley the linchpin because she’s toxic to them (despite them eating the Joker just fine), and plenty of other characters could easily be toxic, ie metamorpho, but they had to go with her because she’s gotta be put in everything like the rest of the Batman characters.

Day 29 done! My weird headcanon for Skizz is that he isn't actually an angel or a regular avian, but rather in a sort of grey area between the two. He's an albatross, which is a bird with a lot of legends and superstitions surrounding it. Albatrosses have mistakenly been associated with burdens and bad luck (like in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner") However, they only symbolize misfortune to people who mistreat them. They're actually symbols of perseverance and guidance, as well as healing and protecting lost souls. This means that Skizz counts as a supernatural being, but it isn't really noticeable. He's got a good sense of direction and is remarkably good at telling when someone needs guidance, but other than the giant wings, he seems normal

(Thanks to anyone who read that whole thing! I warned y'all I was a literature major, rambling about bird symbolism was inevitable)

Trying to do Hermit-A-Day May this year. Hopefully it goes better than the last...every monthly art challenge I've tried to do

Day 9 done! Outfit swap was such a fun idea, and it was a challenge to choose which hermits to swap. I eventually realized that Cleo would absolutely rock a suit, while Skizz has enough goofy 80s energy to match Cleo's over-the-top workout gear. My only regret is that I couldn't do this in color!

Now remember, we must criticize constructively with Valve’s negligence on the bot crisis. 5 years of little to no effort and the bare minimum updates are not on us. That is on Valve fully. They made a game that is a PILLAR of their brand and let’s be honest here it’s breaking apart.

Save tf2 has failed before, sure we got some feedback but not what we needed. We MUST be louder, we must voice the problems FULLY. I’m not saying go on forums and talk crap with a bunch of curse words. That won’t get us anywhere. What will is expressing our experiences, not complimenting and being nice to the team. But showing the damage in full length.

The valve team is riding on the workshop creators to do work for them. That is not acceptable.

Sign the petition, tweet, stream, screencap, bang pots and pans together. I’ve seen game developers let their games crumble and I don’t want this to happen to tf2. And to those who follow this blog I don’t think you want that either.

Together we will be heard. We have to be. Do not settle for minimum effort from valve.

Day 12 done! I'm not sure why my Pearl design has hidden eyes. Maybe to fit her mysterious yet silly persona? It's definitely not because I couldn't figure out how to draw her eyes

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
