Since I’m doing polls, perhaps you can help me decide what direction to organize my patreon a bit…

Trying to figure out how to rearrange my middle tiers, they’re a little weird rn because I’ve been through quite a few changes over the years while I figure out what I can keep up with. Rn we have, stacking (the highest tier gets everything in the previous tier):

$5: half or so of my sketchbooks

$10: the rest of my sketchbooks

$20: a monthly sticker

On one hand I don’t Really want to paywall my doodles so that’s why they’re on the low end, on the other hand $20 is a lot for a sticker if you dont want the sketchbooks, and my scribbles will just pile up into lots of art anyway...SO...

Doing a little poll on twitter, might as well do one here YOU! Would you be interested in CHARACTER LINE UP/REF COMMS? IE 2+ characters standing next to each other, with or without clothes, that sort of thing. Or headshots? Or inventory? Or something else??

Trying to warm up to the idea of some more standard reference type commissions, as well as maybe breaking things down into more affordable Parts. I only just got my day job schedule adjusted and have some older work to catch up on so it'll be awhile, but. For future reference

(i Will go back to everlasting haitus if that GFM slows down too much btw, seeing it to its goal ASAP is my primary focus right now)

every once in a while you just gotta go "This Reality Is Not Acceptable" and put yourself all in on one cause and not let up on it until it is done, to make sure at least one fact of that unacceptable reality, changes. at least one more tragedy avoided.

that is what i have chosen to do here.

i'll admit i'm not especially good at drawing more realistic portraits/people, but i took a crack at it for this. in the back of mind, is the thought: i want to be able to draw a proper family portrait for them a year from now, if they'd like one, and have nobody suddenly be missing from it.

donate, boost, share the GFM yourself on any platforms you may have/on websites i'm not on, in your community servers, anywhere sympathy and action can be found. please.

As of this update, April 11th, the GFM is at 42k out of 60k, but traffic has starting slowing down the past 48 hours, so I’m nudging more again with that status! Please let’s get this the rest of the way to the goal ASAP!

they don’t just need out, the whole family, including the kids, need prompt medical care! I urge anyone reading these words to help however they can, please, peace, and thank you 🕊️ 🍉

As of this update, April 14th, the GFM is at 46k out of 60k 🕊️ 🍉

How's Croc doing?

she's relaxing on vacation right now while I put Thavu (And Umami) in the blender instead, but she's never truly safe from the whims of the blorbo pain machine Keeping her safe in my pocket for the day I feel like doing a deep dive into a bounty/monster hunter type spin again tho...I didn't quite splash in there enough last time

Ahmed Saad or @/90-ghost's brother in law is currently doing his best to organise the evacuation of his family from Gaza. This family suffers from a combination of ailments that all require medical attention. This is the description on their GFM page:

Hello, I hope you all are doing well!

My name is Mohamed Monir Ahmad Mahmoud, I’m a hemophilia patient from Gaza. I decided to start this campaign with all the hope that you could support me in evacuating Gaza to do surgery for me and my daughter and start a fresh life with my 5 kids out of the ongoing genocide in Gaza [...] I was supposed to go out at the end of 2023 to have surgery on my knees but since 7 October, I had no chance due to the procedures on Rafah crossing, the gate of Gazans to the world. Now, my knees and elbows are bleeding with no access to any type of care and if things stand as they are in Gaza, I won’t be able to walk or make any effort because of the bleeding (currently I am barely able to set up a small fire in front of the tent to prepare food for my kids).

What I ask is 60,000, for travel costs because each one would need to pay 5,000-8,000$ to be allowed to leave Gaza through Rafah crossing and we need around 3000$ more in Egypt for our stay and to obtain visas. We will be heading to Brazil where my brother Diaa lives and there is a huge chance to do the surgeries and access health care as the health care for Hemophilia patients in Brazil is one of the most advanced in the world.

please give generously!!

if I may selfishly bring one fund to the top of your priorities, it would be this. Only a fraction of their fund has been completed. Please consider giving whatever you can.

if only half of my followers gave $3 each, they would help this fundraiser reach its goal. Everything counts.

answering this one oldschool style: I was watching westworld with my friends so this iteration of all of them is western themed, but I cant recall if anything specific from that was part of the inspo? Polly has always been the quiet freaky one to pair with Castors chattier self. They're both usually mercs/bounty hunters/hunting dogs that "answer to" Croc The polly pictured here is the Silent Sniper sort, their poncho is all fabric cut from targets clothes stitched together and with nicely embroidered/embellished bullet holes. Trophy! Here's another pic of them that I apparently never posted here?? More nicely done up

Looking through some old art and realizing: I don't think I ever posted some of my favorite Castors? And a couple pollies too Huge mean tarantula woman, her personality is essentially that of Mr. Hyde from the one Van Helsing movie, you know the one. For every character I get attached to and make a little more tender soft, she gets one additonal bastard point added to her mean meter

for the character ask thingy, I was wondering about 2, 14, and 47 about Thavu. Hope you're having a good one, love your art!

2.How loosely or strictly do they use the word ‘friend’? Oh Extremely strictly. The odds of someone dying before she ever calls them a friend out loud or even tells them her Name is decently high, which is the point. Getting attached to people has never gone very well for her, so she tries to avoid it (key word is Tries) 14.How do they put out a candle? Either with her mind or with her fingers. snap on snap off!

47. Who have they forgotten about that remembers them very well? tough one...probably some of the neighbors in her original hab that were REALLY strict about avoiding her. she may not remember half those people, but priya zyetslov the fur trader definitely remembers the tiny terror who painted OBSCENITIES on her building with several buckets of boiling fish guts
