if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

Lieutenant Ann “Fallout” Crisis (full body, colorized)

I’m going to put my notes on her beneath the cut so you can ignore them if you’d like.

Lt. Ann “Fallout” Crisis

is usually wearing a face covering of some kind, but isn’t against teammates seeing her face occasionally. the masks are mostly for the comfort of being hidden.

has plenty of scars like everyone else, but most are hidden beneath her clothes. there are two on her forehead, one at her temple and one across the middle, stretching from her hairline to the space between her brows, and one on her neck, starting near her ear and ending near the hollow of her throat.

her hair is shoulder length and brown and is never down around others. it’s usually pulled or braided back, or beneath a hood when on mission. green eyes, but sometimes they look more brown in the shadow of her hood, and a permanent exhaustion to them.

is never caught wearing a bright color. her wardrobe consists solely of shades of black, blue, and green. once gave the team a heart attack when she borrowed and wore a red shirt post-mission when all her own clothes were dirty/ruined.

baggier clothes, never form-fitting unless mission requires it, and usually layers. likes to have sleeves and higher necks on her shirts.

average height and build, which allows misinterpretations and oversights. silent intense kind of aura, a dead look in her eyes. but, she lightens up around her team, might even smile or laugh.

isn’t a fan of close combat, prefers to maintain distance with her guns, but when pressed into close quarters (out of her comfort zone), will become mildly unhinged and fight dirty.

isn’t a fan of medical, both receiving the care and giving it; the vulnerability makes her anxious. has and will rig bandages over her minor wounds instead of getting stitches like she should. hypocrite, because she frequently orders her soldiers to medical even for minor wounds.

is good at helping plan and execute ops, at gathering intel, noticing little things. probably should prefer overwatch, but doesn’t like to be bodily far from her teammates.

can, has, and will take hits so her soldiers don’t. would give her life for her team no hesitation. gets very upset when they reciprocate, putting themselves between danger and her.

Drawn in Photoshop, animated in Spine Pro. The final art piece I made for my bachelor thesis on GIF as a medium for art.

I've been researching digital art in the context of modern folk art, outside institutional or commercial art. I analysed almost 500 art GIFs across Tumblr, Artstation and GIPHY.

There's almost no academic research on art GIFs, so it was important to me to examine and document it. I also examined the optimisation of GIFs and how it relates to web sustainability.

And because the bachelor program was focused on art practice, I then created my own art GIFs, and it seemed only right that I should do it through fanart of something I've been really into lately. Thanks @samreich and the rest of Dropout for giving me some unhinged content as inspiration. Watch 'Game Changer' everyone, it's great.
