Palestinian fundraisers to donate to: List 2

See and share first part here.

Hello all, here are some Palestinians who have currently reached out to me to share their fundraisers. I put together both posts in one so I can edit the amounts donated regularly.

Please take a moment to read their stories, share and donate if you can.

another quick late night rung while im still here

Pixel Standees I've been working on!

rodimus being strapped in to disable the killswitch and telling minimus he thinks self-sacrifice instead of fixing your mistakes is cheap :

For the Transformers 40th anniversary, have a collab with studio TRIGGER and Bump of Chicken

[optimal-spark]

Not transformers but wanted to show a wip. Once I’m finished with my current comms (soon) I’ll do more TF art. For now I’m doing some dragon age sketches for my Marion Hawke’s canon events. Poor guy

[optimal-spark]

I’ll figure out my live action style better but this is what I’m working on for this

This might be silly but I was rewatching Bayverse to remember what good things there were about it that weren’t ruined by the sexism/racism and honestly now I can’t stop... thinking about if Bay wasn’t the one in charge and someone decent got their hands on the movies instead

So I doodled Mikaela bc she deserved better, and can you imagine if she was the main protagonist instead of Sam? No cowardly bs while treating the bots like dogs, actual ways of properly contributing and helping them, asking about the autobots more frequently, eager to learn from them. Not just with them when 100% necessary or convenient like how it was for Sam

dressed like a mechanic would bc ive worked around that stuff and the LAST thing you want is lots of revealed skin, dangly stuff (jewelry/hair even tho I put her hair as messy here after a long day’s work), etc. youd also sweat most of your makeup off.

Safety first!! I hope this isn’t terrible I just kept thinking about it so I doodled it

Edit: I’m gonna attempt to draw her with Bumblebee and I’m hoping I can manage the Bayverse bots. They’re so much more complicated than the other iterations and I’ve only sketched bots twice (Megs TFP and Op G1)

[optimal-spark]

Slowly working on my ability to draw the ES bots

(These aren’t finished obviously but I wanted to post anyway)

[optimal-spark]

Alright sounds like I need to draw more KOBD! And TFP in general, if anyone has ideas or prompts lemme know!

Really need to tidy and color these all but have a handful of TFP guys I drew

[optimal-spark]

A silly peek at some of my collection. There’s more than meets the eye but not everything is in sight or displayed yet. Been collecting a few years and since TF is the only thing I actually collect it built up faster than expected <3

[optimal-spark]

The first of the G1 fellas I’ve colored !

[optimal-spark]

Really need to tidy and color these all but have a handful of TFP guys I drew

[optimal-spark]

Just a heap of messy TF sketches I’ve done but seem to have never posted

Call for help from Gazan people

Trying to help family trapped in Gaza for 10 months

Hello everyone, and hope you read my story.

I’m Mohammed Shamia, a fourth year student of laboratory medicine.

I’m trying to get funds for my family of 9 members

With the beginning of the donation campaign, I was the first individual from my family escape to Egypt after 200 days, so I could help my family to get out of Gaza.

Unfortunately, the crossing close and my family still in Gaza

My family lost everything, our house and my brother's house, we lost our happy lives

Now my family lives in difficult conditions in Gaza and fear between plastic walls that do not protect from the summer heat or the cold of winter

This is how my family struggles daily to obtain the most basic rights

We urgently appeal to your moral and financial assistance to help me reach the goal in order to secure the life of my family,and the beginning of a new life. Every help or donation through you makes a big difference. Do not underestimate how the difference is for someone who needs your support

My GFM campaign link

Thank you for complete reading

Mohammad Shamia

One out of two sort of random human ocs I’m concocting for Earthspark so far. The other I plan to make is a farmer who lives near the Maltos bc I’ve worked on farms and couldn’t resist (both of these character ideas are inspired by @my-writings-and-musings ‘s prompts!!)I haven’t continued to watch it in a long while so I may make errors in them and the cybertronian I definitely plan to make too

She’s a doctor, keeps to herself, as said in the sketch she was a field medic who helped Dot during the injury that took her leg, they end up being friends. The incident there though changed a bit of her outlook on transformers to an extent. She gets along decently with the team GHOST works with, but also tends to try and assist them and some of their cybertronian prisoners in small ways. This doctor is MAJORLY distrusting of people in general, which includes the crew she works with. She’s slow to warm up, yet certain bots and the Maltos have a soft spot in her heart

Edit: here’s the second OC for ES; again haven’t figured names out yet

He’s a farmer who lives by the Maltos. They get along relatively well, especially since he tends to bring out baked goods for the family to welcome them at the start. He does a lot of work with the animals he cares for, and when others show interest he eagerly welcomes them to see and assist with the animals. Of course when the Terrans come about he first sees from a distance while working on the fences of the one pasture. This quiet observation continues- at first it’s rather startling, but curiosity is the biggest draw. At one point he approaches the kids and Terrans to inquire about them, careful to assure them so they don’t panic. Afterwards when he’s learned a bit, as well as has gotten proper introductions, he offers his space to them if ever needed to shelter and stay comfortable.
