Hello everyone ❤️,

My name is Majed, and my family and I are trying to rebuild our lives after the war destroyed everything we had, including our home.😔 My children are studying at university, trying to build a better future, but how can they succeed without a safe place to call home?🏠😥

Unfortunately, the campaign is moving slowly, and we still need your help. All we need is a secure home to protect my children and restore the safety we've lost.🙏🏻🇵🇸

As Christmas 🎄 approaches, a time of hope and love, we dream of a safe home to celebrate together. Your support, no matter how small, makes all the difference.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with peace and love.✨❤️

I think there's some confusion: the stuffed animals aren't for Mai. They're for Zuko. She won them for him.

ha! take that, zuko!

How many layers do you typically use for your drawings?

it really depends. if its something complicated:

or something simple:

take this unfinished zuko piece for example:

i use one layer for lineart, more if it's complicated and would make my life easier. same for flat colours, i usually use the select tool (my lineart is never neat enough for the magic wand)—if not, then i use more than one:

here i used one layer for everything, and another beneath it to paint his hair that's behind him.

one multiply layer to give the skin some depth, darker shading around the eyes, ears and nose—knuckles and elbows too. i use blur tool heavily for this. overlay for that ambient lighting effect. then another mulitply layer for shadows with harsh boundaries.

it depends on what allows me to be the laziest. if i can get away with doing something in a single layer, i do it. otherwise i use multiple layers. again for shading, suppose i use the same layer to paint zuko's scar, soft shadows and hard shadows, i'd have to be extra careful while blurring because i don't want the harsh shadows blurred.

same with using a separate layer in the above drawing for his hair, 'cause then i don't have to be careful about it overlapping his clothing. basically what doesn't require me to zoom in with a fine brush and saves time and labour.

and if i've merged the layers i never hesitate to go for a new one. sometimes i do the basic run-of-the-mill rendering and merge it, then if i'm not satisfied I keep shaping things up with new layers on top. anything that won't make me regret later on for using a single layer. too many layers are hard to keep track of, but then, i can always use new ones if i can't find an old one among the heap!

Facing the Struggle as Queer Transgender Refugees: We Need Your Help 🌈

Hi there,

I’m AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and I’m reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is unimaginably harsh for our LGBTIQ community. Daily persecution is constantly hanging over our necks, and we’re battling diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, HIV/AIDS, and cholera. Combined with extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter, every single day is a fight for survival.

Your support can make a life-saving difference. Any donation, no matter how small, can help provide essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. If you’re in a position to give, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe:

➡️ https://gofund.me/4d80b32c

If donating isn’t possible, you can still make a huge impact by reblogging or sharing one of my pinned posts. Spreading the word helps amplify our voices, which have been silenced for far too long.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and for standing with us in this fight for survival. Your support, whether through donations or sharing our story, means the world to us.

With gratitude,

AshleymilesPhil
