Unfortunately, my perfectionism gets the better of me.

POW POW POW

I will shut up about chapter 11, ok???? Just— I recently watched Gladiator 2 and the description of war from the chapter WAS SO ACCURATE I COULDN'T SLEEP.

Get the vision, me watching the movie seeing techno on the screen, it was wild.

This scene is so cool, after a the boss battle?? So amazing!!! Then Phil go and takes the helmet and I go OH— oh, suddenly mate's taking his son the more horrors

Anyways, I might draw more scenes, I didn't even thought about sbi's designs yet, but seriously considering making this boy looking— staring at the king's crown.

More little comic style coming??? WHO KNOWS!! Comic style it's my secret passion so I have a lot of ideias If you let me show you.

Again no promises haha :D

Bloody version undercut

Can't believe I forgot to post this

I remembered now bc I'm working on a new art for To be truly free by @cleanlenins

In the meantime, have art when I started experimenting with clip paint! The scene where Techno tried to escape through the river and Phil was actually stopped for a second? Chills

[sohrleas]

I've FINISHED IT

I've Finished the Drawing!!

This is a scene in @lennjamin-o7's wonderful To Be Truly Free ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/37544800 ) that I imagine Philza wishes would've happened. Wishes, because Techno is actually more like a feral cat who is violently opposing the adoption.

There are some imperfections, but I'm happy with it as it is, so I'll leave it.

I made a post with the progress, I'll stick that link here if anyone wants to look at it: https://www.tumblr.com/sohrleas/759664710323945472/im-finished-ill-make-another-post-with-just

(If I could figure out how to insert the timelapse, I would.)

Anyways, it's done!!

Here's a version without the shading:

Summary: The Sleeping Empire had held all the power for centuries. What else did you expect when the Emperor was an undying Vampire? King Philza and his sons, Prince Wilbur and Prince Theseus, have never faced a real threat to their power. Twenty years ago, the Blood God spoke through his Holy Conduit, the King of Scywar. A prophecy that one child born in the month of the Summer Solstice had the potential to crush the hearts of the Vampiric Lords once and for all. As such, a decree that every child born in June must serve the Blood God's church. Technoblade thinks this whole thing is dumb, but no one really cares what he thinks. As one of the children born in June, known as the Blessed Ones, Technoblade dreams of a different life. One not enslaved to The Church. He dreams to know what it means to be truly free. Or- Another Dark SBI Vampire AU. This time, Technoblade is the Human.

[soaring-kite]

hey what fanfic were the sleeping empire/vampire sbi memes for?

I'm glad you asked. So glad you asked.

It was

To Be Truly Free (link above) by @paladinpalindrome aka CleanLenins.

Synopsis: "The Sleeping Empire had held all the power for centuries. What else did you expect when the Emperor was an undying Vampire? King Philza and his sons, Prince Wilbur and Prince Theseus, have never faced a real threat to their power. 

Twenty years ago, the Blood God spoke through his Holy Conduit, the King of Scywar. A prophecy that one child born in the month of the Summer Solstice had the potential to crush the hearts of the Vampiric Lords once and for all. As such, a decree that every child born in June must serve the Blood God's church.

Technoblade thinks this whole thing is dumb, but no one really cares what he thinks. As one of the children born in June, known as the Blessed Ones, Technoblade dreams of a different life. One not enslaved to The Church. He dreams to know what it means to be truly free.

Or- Another Dark SBI Vampire AU. This time, Technoblade is the Human."

ISN'T THAT SO COOL??? I'm begging you, go check their fics out — you won't regret it.

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

help people leave palestine (donate what you can)

Help a Family Evacuate Gaza (GoGetFunding)

Save Sanaa and her Family (Gofundme)

Save Amjad Saher and his family (Gofundme)

Help a family of 13 escape Gaza (Gofundme)

Help a Palestinian children's book illustrator save her family of 12 (Gofundme)

Girl, wake up, new fanart just dropped!!

'To be truly free' by CleanLenins is a fanfic i've been reading for the past three days non-stop. I'm still on chapter 17 and my dislexia was going crazy, that means pause reading time.

Long story short, my hands started itching in need of drawing at least one scene. Since chapter 11 it's my literal favorite I immediately got to work.

Bloody version undercut

I was going to draw the bodies, but i reckon it'll be too much, so no dead soldiers, just blood

Will reblog with more details about the drawing so this post don't end up being super long

[erissdoesart]

Tumblr made me crop this so many times- apparently you cannot have an image over 30 mb, who could have guessed

Anyhow! Here it is, another fanart for @cleanlenins (I have no idea which one tags ur blog, I'm genuinely confused lmao)

This is how Chat could be represented in To Be Truly Free! Obnoxious, loud, everywhere and not leaving Techno alone

[sohrleas]

Anyone want to see what To Be Truly Free drawing I plan to work on the next time @lennjamin-o7 streams?

Boys tangled up and cuddling! It's meant to be...well, kinda what Philza Expected the journey to be like when bringing his New Son home. Y'know, with Techno WANTING to go and not banged up and injured and angrier than a wet cat.

Some things I want to adjust:

I need to look at the description of the interior to see how wide it is. I can scrunch up the boys to adjust it, Tommy will just have to deal with being a bit cramped.

Check anything about what they're all wearing.

I want to adjust Wil's upper body so he's slouching a bit more. Get a sore back, loser

Just a little size adjustment here and there--easy enough to do on the computer (Techno's head needs to be a bit bigger, need to double check the leg lengths)

Maybe move Wil's arm so it's resting on top of both his brother's heads
