Bakunawa Character Design. Just Wanted To Draw A Phillippine Mythological Creature

Bois

Good thing I never even liked his content in the first place :p

i drew audrey being happy and posted it on twitter

the official creator of the show retweeted this and i lost my marbles

I FUCKING LOVE THE 4TH IMAGE SO MUCFFH AAAAAAA

Some All Tomorrows doodles! First pic is just me figuring out how to draw them, though tbh a majority of them aren’t that hard lmao

Second one is an idea I had, it could be a small series but idk if i have the energy or time for that with uni starting up soon lmao. It’s a series of the species of All Tomorrows, of people living their lives, an individual, a family, a generation (as seen in said doodle), etc. Again idk if I’ll have the energy to do that lmao

Third is from an idea I had of a young Bug Facer who hears of the ‘aliens’ that have made a city for all of them to live and coexist on, and wants to venture to that city despite what everyone around her says. But she stows away on a diplomat’s ship anyway lmao.

Hooty but he’s the Duolingo owl.

(Image description: four squares in various shades of red with white text, together the text reads "Support autistic trans people. Support autistic trans women. Support autistic trans men. Support autistic nonbinary people.")

a gentle reminder to surrender any and all vital organs to the zombie army, or else.

Part of my job is processing all the new incoming books and putting our property stamp on them and barcodes, so I get to also see all the adorable new kid's books too with wonderful gorgeous art in them but ANYWAYS THIS NEW ONE CAME IN AND

"It Feels Good To Be Yourself. A book about gender identity" written by Theresa Thorn and illustrated by Noah Grigni. The cover shows the four main characters, one is a transgender girl, two are nonbinary in different ways, and one is a cis boy who is the little brother to the trans girl.

I typically don't read the kids books even when they are super cute but this one I HAD to read. So I start reading. And I just--

Here's a few pages: (short image description below)

Quick image description: Above are 5 pictures I took of pages that I really liked and made me extra happy. The first two are back to back pages of the book's introduction of JJ, who is a wheelchair user and is "neither a girl or a boy" and uses they/them pronouns. This is the text from the next two back to back pages depicting the four friends playing outside and coloring on the sidewalk: "Some kids don't feel exactly like a girl or a boy -- they feel like neither. Some kids feel like their gender identity isn't always the same -- it's often changing." [Next page] "And even with all these possible ways to be, some kids don't feel like any of the words they know fit them exactly right. There are a never-ending number of ways to be yourself in the world." The last page shows Ruthie after she came out to her parents as transgender. Her whole family (mom, dad, little brother, her, and a dog on the side) are hugging. The text reads "Oops! Ruthie was a girl all along -- they just didn't know it at first." End ID.

SO OBVIOUSLY IM ALMOST SOBBING AT WORK NOW OMG

This book is absolutely beautiful and so sweet and I encourage everyone to go see if they can borrow it at their library. It's a quick 2-3 min read, maybe 15 if you start getting emotional like my queer little heart did. I'm assuming there's a regular print version more widely available, and maybe a LT version too, and if my Hawaii library has a copy of the braille version I'm guessing others already have it too.

OH AND HERE'S THE BACK COVER I DIDNT NOTICE UNTIL AFTER I PROCESSED IT AND THIS PART REALLY GOT ME OKAY (text written below)

"No matter what your gender identity is, you are okay exactly the way you are. And you are loved."

question: do you guys even like hooty
