Love This. It’s Just The Way It Do Be Sometimes. (This Especially Helps With My Embarrassment About

started reading A Change in Perspective and From the Shadows of the Deep, got inspired (would recommend reading)

Say hello to a siren/kraken version of Onyx (and Doom Morph Onyx)!

Drew this one ⬇️ on Wednesday. The rest were drawn Thursday.

Practicing with drawing hands.

Originally, was just going to have the tentacle things (that are in place of her quill spikes) move when she was experiencing different emotions… but then I decided to add colors to it. May or may not change or modify later.

Doom Morph (she looks more like an octopus than a squid 😭):

This one is by far my favorite. Didn’t want to draw over it with my pen for fear of ruining it.

First time drawing Sonic characters!! 🥳

I drew Fleetway first, lol. I was so glad it didn’t turn into a complete disaster.

I drew my OC, Onyx, next (she’s Shadow’s sister)! I’ve been wanting to post about her for a while, and I’m glad I finally got around to drawing her!! 💜

Colored Onyx in on IbisPaintX.

I’m so glad I finally got around to drawing Sonic characters! Can’t wait to do more (if I even remember, lol)!

these are just…too pretty not to share

this was just me trying to see what shade my mixture of paint was (I was using gouache)

and these were the halves of paper towels I put under my paper while painting

Me and my mom did something similar to this (last summer, I believe). Someone even had the balls to ask if we weren’t gonna stand up for the national anthem. My mom gave him a death glare and he shut up.

Love my mom 🥰

Also, in grade school, I stopped saying the “one nation, under God” thing in the pledge of allegiance because it made me uncomfortable (we’re not religious). It was my mom’s advice. Wish I hadn’t said the pledge of allegiance at all, but I wasn’t fully aware of how cult-y it was back then. Can’t believe they have children doing that every day they go to school.

But yes, please don’t succumb to being a mindless zombie for those in power. Speak out and fight back. The world won’t ever get better if we continue to do nothing.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

She looks like she’s judging people. Honestly? I don’t blame her.

I can’t not.

…

I need to go to bed.

Reblogging because I’ve gotten comments like this on my blog before. I’ve gone through and blocked all comments like this already.

It’s good to stay aware of these types of things.

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Drew the little guys (paramecium) that I saw in biology class yesterday. I dunno why one of them was purple, lol. (These are exaggerated colors, btw. They weren’t this vibrant.)

(Reference sketch, btw)
