being in charge of level design for our game has forced me to draw on paper for the first time in a millennium.

was college hard for you? high tuitions, heavy workload, hardly any free time... imagine having to deal with all of that ON TOP OF bombings and starvation. this is the reality for many students in gaza. help a student in need and match my donation to isnad.

hi everyone! I've talked before about my friend Mahmoud, and so I'm reaching again. he's started a new campaign to support his fellow students struggling to make ends meet in gaza. money is going towards paying tuitions and renting a quiet study room with wifi.

My part of an art trade with @icedragonsden.bsky.social and her beautiful OC Sky!
A humanized dragon sitting on something invisible. She is wearing glasses, a sweater vest, a dress shirt, a pair of jean leggings, and boots. She has large wings folded behind her back and a tail draped over her legs. Two curled horns peak out from her hair.

mahmoud and his family have just recently returned to the ruins of their home, and they're struggling a lot in their new situation. even the price of your morning coffee will go a long way in helping them survive and rebuild.
The ruins of Mahmoud's home, with a view overlooking many other ruined buildings in Gaza. A screenshot of a chat log between myself and Mahmoud. Me: Hey, how was your first day back? Mahmoud: It is very, very, very difficult. Me: I can imagine, how are you feeling? Mahmoud: Soooo tired.

his campaign is vetted, and I have personally donated to him and chatted with him on several occasions. the GoFundMe is donation protected.
A donation receipt for a fifty dollar donation to Mahmoud's campaign. A chat log on tumblr showing an interaction between myself and Mahmoud. Me: Hi Mahmoud, sorry I haven't talked to you in a while. How are you doing? Mahmoud: I'm good, but there is a crisis I'm suffering from this period. I want money to register for the new semester and I can't get it. My friend published about this, but it didn't work and I didn't get the donations. I need $800 to be able to register for the new school year. Can you publish about this?

hi everyone! i'm sure like me you're all relieved at the news that a ceasefire has been signed. and while we should definitely celebrate, this is not the end of Palestinian suffering. my friend Mahmoud still needs help to support his family and pay for university.

This is Portent, my PC from a #weaverdice campaign I'm playing. It's a newer system that's still a work in progress but I'm having a lot of fun with it! #ttrpg
Superhero character wearing a purple wizard's hat, a blue hijab that turns into a long cape, long white gloves, a small bag at her waist, high waisted pants, and tall boots. Mainly coloured purple, blue, and white.

#pixelart another piece from my final project! it's a little hard to tell what's going on here without context but essentially this world is filled with the corpses of dead gods and people are mining them for resources.
It's sunset. An enormous green rotting human serpentine corpse rests inside a valley. It has chunks taken out of it and its guts are spilling out. scaffolding is built all around it and tiny figures are swarming everywhere to mine it. A few trucks are parked nearby.

A pixel art environment piece I did for my final project at VFS! #pixelart
A pixel art piece of a dry rocky area, looking down on some buildings and a river with a bridge running across. in the distance among sandy hills are many destroyed buildings with plumes of smoke pouring out. A large airship hangs above them, with many planes flying in the background.
