The sun and the earth [ Nimit and Daav - OCs]

Assorted digital sketches of Nimit and Daav. The first one shows Nimit smiling up at a concerned Daav. Then twin Nimits crying as they hold onto a large rod. Nimit laid on his pillow crying as the text says, "The sun god is depressed.' We see more sketches of him crying or being held and carried by Daav as the text says, "his ears are wet from his tears. The earth god will carry him as long as he needs." There's a sketch of Daav carrying Nimit as he steps on an elephant though both gods are much larger than the knelt elephant. There's a last sketch of Daav blushing as his heart skips a beat.

Please share & give to help Adham's family evacuate the devastation left by Israel's genocide in Gaza and try to rebuild their lives elsewhere when the Rafah crossing opens. The costs of crossing the border and travelling are steep, & they're starving, exhausted, & have nothing:

If you guys could please pray for me and my family's safety I would appreciate it so much. If you guys could please share my donation tip jar and prints store it would also be very helpful. Mom's endocrinologist is hopeful we can find alternative treatments through the help of modern medicine.

TikTok told me that “fish theory” would help break art block. If that means I’m just gonna be painting fish then I guess it worked????

Anyway here’s a red swordtail 🥰

What the Twitter takeover did so effectively was fracture the way we get our news. If, for example, I want to get in-depth updates on Sudan I still check in with Twitter as that's where a lot of the biggest accounts are. There's no one-stop shop anymore.

I use my Patreon for updating people on my secret new projects and humble creations, though mostly it has become a sketchbook of sorts, with all my character doodles and sketches that I don't post online (or at least that I post only after posting on Patreon first).
