Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.
DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters, rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).
Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.
Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.
Edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?
Disabled people are not your fucking body horror. Grow up.
i’m still figuring out other things but i’ve got his classpect and fetch modus sorted.
Brew modus: Once captchalogued, items become a flavoured tea bag; in order to use the item again, the tea bag must be brewed in water and the tea drank.
vs some old art from his inception and my sketchbook,,
renamed him to something more meaningful and tightened up his design i little bit
some of the things that are recommened for vaginoplasty are so funny like. there's a four week period where i'm "encouraged to sensually explore the area" but "not allowed to climax" like okay doctor-mandated edging. if you say so lmao
once everything settles i'm encouraged to "share vaginal microbiome with someone who already has one set up" like. scissoring? are you talking about scissoring? fuckin. doctor-prescribed lesbian sex.
They say brown eyes carry the warmth of the earth…
I’m Zeina, and my eyes are brown. But behind that warmth lies a war that never stops, and a hunger that shows no mercy. We live in Gaza — surrounded by suffering, starvation, and relentless bombing, day and night. Each day grows harsher than the one before, and with every sunrise, we fight just to survive.

i watched sinners yesterday and i love being so turtlepilled bc every time Cornbread (Omar Benson Miller) was on screen i was like !!!!!!! OMMMGMGMGMGGG RAPH!!!!!!!
Mx I just KNOW that, soon, after you rewatch rottmnt, there will be some kind of angsty or Aftermath or SOMETHING AU floating around in that beautiful mind of yours!
o7 TY
I’m not much of a writer but I do love a good au :3 I like thinking of post canon stuff (between s2 and the movie mostly) if any ideas come to me you will know mweheheheh >:3
Hiya! I hope you’re doing well! I just watched your speed paint for a lovely artwork of Donnie and I noticed that some of the lines (meaning the line art) are thicker than others. My question is: how do you determine where the lines should be thicker and where they should be thinner?
Have a fabulous day/night!
HIIIII! YOU TOO!! IM GOOD!!
Idk exactly how to answer this bc I mostly go off my gut icl but I’ll try my best :DDDD
As a general rule with my style, I avoid straight up smooth curves for lineart (with rare exceptions that make sense within context ig) and angle curves wherever I can. Angles, sharp edges and thick lines are crucial and essentially what my style is built on
SO FOR DONNIE. I tend to keep the thicker lines to emphasize angles or junctions where lines meet. I angle out any smooth curves (I’ll elaborate l8r)
I give parts that are fully in shadow black out shading sometimes but I will always shade under the neck and anywhere another object overlaps (hand on staff, tails of mask, under arms) ignore the random other blackout shading that doesn’t follow the rules idk why I put it there it just looks cool
With another example: for sonic, I never curve his head, I translate any round curve into multiple edges. You will never catch me drawing a direct circle. All eyes are RECTANGLES. Metal is SMOOTH though he’s curved and rounded bc it’s unnatural to my style and he’s a robot and not an organic thing he’s so streamlined!!! Most straight areas are also given texture (like Donnie’s arm) it’s mainly to keep the lineart wacky and keep everything cohesive next to all the sharp angles.
if I were to update it though it would look like this!!!!:
I hope this kinda answered your question :3 it was more like an explanation on my style ig :’DD

Dear merciful souls before everything I'm now writing to you and my kids are so hungry we don't know what to eat because everything running out and the cross borders were closed for three months so please read my story to the end 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello, I am full of hope and hope that you will read my message with love and that you will enjoy abundant health and well-being.
I come to you with an appeal that is heavy on my heart and that I had never imagined.
I look at you from under the war and the constant bombing of us in all its forms that the human or animal soul cannot comprehend
I am Jehad Kassab , a lawyer and legal consultant from Gaza City - Palestine. I hold a bachelor’s degree in law and many legal experiences. I have been working in the legal profession for a long time and I had a good work , which have become meaningless before this world, to stop the machine of war and destruction that has befallen us ،I had a private law office after the Israeli planes completely destroyed it and everything in it, after I built it with all its beauty after many years of toil, and it is my only source of livelihood.
I have a beautiful family that loves life as you love it and lives it in all its details. My family consists of (my wife, a nurse, and my son Khaled, a year and a half old, who has not seen life in all its details and does not know what it is yet, and my second daughter is now 11 months her age as the age of this bad war.
Our house was completely destroyed at the beginning of the war on Gaza with everything, and we did not even take anything out of it, not even the clothes, in the hope that we would return to it before it was bombed by Israeli warplanes
We were briefly displaced to southern Gaza and stayed in tents until this moment. We lived and are still living the harshest types of genocide in the full sense of the word: displacement, destruction, coming out from under bombardment, pollution, epidemics, and the difficulty of sleeping due to the sound of planes and the bombing that did not leave for a single second. Has the world become desolate or are we not fit to improve? For life or what? We do not know Khaled who started pronouncing the word bombing, and I am afraid.
I am not begging you or listing all the details, because an entire newspaper will not be enough. Television screens and social networking sites are enough to tell you about us, and no matter how much you try to say, what we feel will not reach you because we do not wish anyone to live as we live.
We are victims of conflicts and conflicts. We love life as long as we can. We do not like any form of war. We want a future like the rest of humanity for ourselves and our children.
In this moment of despair, I reach out to you, not just as a stranger, but as a human being, connected by our common humanity and the belief that compassion knows no bounds. Your support, no matter how small, can make an immeasurable difference in the lives of those struggling to find hope amidst the rubble.
We desperately need your support to rebuild my family's life that was destroyed by the war on Gaza and there is literally nothing left ، provide us with a glimmer of hope for a better life after we were fine before October 7th last year. Your support could mean everything to us ، If you are unable to support, please consider sharing our case. Every bit of support helps.
We also evacuated many times and the two baby were sick alot because of the bad environment
and you know there's no hospitals or medicin or even healthy food
and the rest of the.money will be used for the living expenses
We appreciate your help, even if it is just a little
Thank you all
