Sketches From @mipexch 's Whiteboard A Couple Days Ago!!

[Start ID. Two side-by-side drawings in the same palette. The left image shows Drya sitting with her legs bent in front of her, facing to the left and seemingly on a flat surface, one hand at her spear and the other on the floor. She's smiling and looking back at Tel. The right image depicts Tel, cross-legged on the floor and facing right, holding a whetstone and shard. Her face is partially obscured, but she looks back at Drya. Her bag and a spare metal shard lay behind her. Both images share a pink tone, and matching background in the colors of the lesbian flag.

@enbeemerang TEAM DRYA PROPAGANDA!!

Bug Fables OC Tournament Round 2

Drya (she/her) and Tel (she/they) (or Team Drya) from @enbeemerang

Drya is a (very lovable) dumb rosy maple moth, who came from far outside of Bugaria. Right now, she resides outside of Defiant Root with her girlfriend, Tel! Drya's very outspoken, and is ready to defend her friends with whatever it takes. She's canonically trans, and a lesbian! She very much enjoys going to Crisbee's for a snack, and doing jobs with her girlfriend. Drya uses a spear (a toothpick with a shard of metal tied onto it) as her weapon, and won't stand down. Drya is always down to make a friend, and with her outspoken nature, knows many bugs across Bugaria. She's also a bit of a herbo.

Tel is a much more rational sap beetle. Due to her quietness and more closed off personality, she may come off as cold and not friendly to new bugs she meets. But, she holds lots of care for those she holds close like her friends and loved ones. Growing up in Defiant Root, she loves the research side of exploring, knowing that Drya has her back. Tel is also trans, and a lesbian. Tel's weapon of choice are metal shards. She carries up to 5 whenever she goes out exploring, which she throws at her enemies. She enjoys documentation, and frequents the Ant Kingdom Library whenever she can. Having grown up in Bugaria, she knows practically everybody in Defiant Root, and others across the Ant Kingdom.

Tel and Drya met about two years pre canon in the game. Drya left her home to find somewhere more accepting, and after losing her sibling in the journey, found herself in the Lost Sands. Dehydrated and lost, she couldn't continue. That night, Tel found her, and helped her regain her strength. The year on, Drya had stayed in Defiant Root with Tel, where the two grew closer, until they began dating. After Drya had learned of the explorer's guild, she was eager to be able to continue exploring and going on journeys, with a land that accepted her.

Tel and Drya are an inseparable duo. When they explore, Drya takes up the front, ready to defend her girlfriend at any given moment. Tel goes slower, stopping to document things, or to take samples and place them in the little pouch she carries. They love each other very much! They fight as a single unit, and are best friends.

They also both wear Favorite One medals, as they are each others favorites :)

Argentum (he/him) from @alagadda

Argentum is a beautiful silver wasp (Priochilus gloriosum) and a mercenary, assassin, and bounty hunter. He appeals to those who would seek his illicit services because he does his job without asking questions. He's very impersonal during work but much more open and emotional in everyday life. He's a real prick, honestly.

He takes the mandibles off his victims as proof of a job well done, but he often makes necklaces out of them and keeps them as trophies because there's something deeply wrong with him. He also loots all his victims corpses so his husband can sell off their belongings.

He's in a surprisingly healthy and loving marriage with Aurum, a golden reined digger wasp (Sphex habenus) ex-explorer, who became disillusioned with life after almost dying in search of the Everlasting Sapling. They both reside in Defiant Root where Aurum runs a shop to sell off the aforementioned looted goods, but he wants both of them to eventually move to the Golden Settlement. Aurum loves his husband deeply even if he's completely out of his mind and thinks wearing body parts as trophies is cool. He wants Argentum to do literally anything else as a job, but still loves and supports him.

He attacks with his prized blade, poisoned with his own venom and made by Aurum from the mandible of his first victim.

Wait. They aren’t jokes. You guys really keep dozens of tabs open on your browser forever.

They lament on how long it's been since they've played Dishonored, start playing it again, and then lie to itself that it'll keep this playthrough casual. The bottom quarter of the image lists the self-imposed challenges they rack up. End ID]

The youngest Palestinian journalist is a 9 year old girl.

Her name Lama Jamous.

Lama has been reporting on tik tok what has been happening in Gaza. Her father is a journalist working for Al Jazeera and is trying to get her out of Rafah.

Link to the gofundme from the video

Please share her story.

You asked for Hollow Knight OCs to draw and I have a couple :D

On top is Bellsinger, a very brash, matter-of-fact dewdrop harvester who takes her job extremely serious, often preferring the quiet working hours to any social situation. Though, despite this and her lacking social skills and often uncaring demeanor, she deeply craves a strong emotional connection with someone.

At the bottom is Moulin, part of a far away butterfly tribe, filling out the role of ceremonial caretaker of the tribe's dead. She's quiet and reserved but shows a lot of compassion for the families in mourning. She's a woman of few words when working with and for the dead, only talking when she deems it necessary, but the exact opposite when outside the grave grounds and at gatherings of joy and celebration.

Sorry for the late answer, this took longer than expected!

Them!! I like these two a lot already and I had fun with the pattern of Moulin's cloak/wings!

seven for the ask meme?

7: Sketching, lining, or coloring?

Probably coloring? Especially assuming it includes shading, which is usually one of my favorite parts. Sometimes a sketch will come out looking rad, and trying to style the lines a certain way can be very fun (most prominently: idroa, and a couple places in the stagbells submission), but overall messing around with the colors is my favorite :]

[Start ID. A close-up photo of one titular Provence Hairstreak perched on a rock. It is a butterfly only a couple centimeters long, with one of its big black eyes visible and lined in white, thin clubbed antennae striped black-and-white, and large, generally brown wings, with black spots amid a patch of orange on the forewing. Its most notable feature, though, is the ludicrously fluffy appearance of its front half: long setae the color of verdigris almost completely take over its head, thorax and abdomen, and the green hairs extend to its femurs and half of the hindwings. The white speckles dotting the green wings contribute to an overall fairy-like appearance. End ID.]
