Happy Sunday! Here’s a piece I made for Easter Sunday 2024! 😅🤍 I wanted to use the prompt “dawn” from this background challenge I had going at the time, in conjunction with the significance of today to bring this piece to life.—And what better than to call to mind the morning in which Christ’s tomb was found empty!

The reference I used for the location/cross is based off an actual place in my hometown. Above the city stands a simple wooden cross, held up only by a pile of stones amongst the desert sand. It’s a powerful reminder that we wouldn’t have the joy Easter Sunday brings without the cross.

The cross itself was the ultimate symbol of death and despair when Jesus died three days prior, but it suddenly shifted into a symbol of triumph. Without Jesus’ sacrifice, none of us as humans would have hope for freedom from sin and death. It’s a sobering thought, but because of the resurrection we now have the hope of new life in Christ if we call upon Him and repent of our sins! Because of this, The cross is the ultimate symbol of redemption. 🤍✝️

It’s beautifully summed up in the all too famous passage in John 3:16-17: ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.“ if you do not know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, call to Him! Go to the cross tonight. He’s waiting for you. 🤍

This is such a random thing, but the idea sorta spiraled after I found an incredible Back to The Future screenshot taken from the scene when Marty sits next to a younger version of his father and is just staring at him like 👁️👄👁️ It felt very Danny coded and I had to redraw it 😂 Danny’s face came together wayyyy too well 😂 Poor boy somehow landed in the past and ends up right next to his (then) future dad. The bonus comic really cracked me up. I doodled it while on a comic stream with friends. it really made inexplicable (but also very much sense) sense for Matt to just clock exactly who Danny is upon meeting him. Danny thinks he’s sly, but Matt is sharper than he lets on! He’s excited to help his future nephew for sure! 😭This is also a fun way for me to explore Matt and Danny interacting, since they don’t get the chance to properly meet in the comic ;-;

It was a good character study to do! I’m slowly getting past the art block, praise the Lord!

The only problem with this piece now is I wanna explore this concept via a short comic series. 🙈 y’all wanna see more time travel AU shenanigans? Lemme know!

Happy MerMay day 1 (and likely my only day to post a full piece like this 😅😭). I had this piece back from 3 years ago. I always have pieces from Mermay’s past that are either put on the back burner or long forgotten in the many piles of projects, but as is tradition, I had to finish one of those pieces at least and share it with you all! The original sketch is from 2020/2021? It was in one of my old sketchbooks AFSHJDKDKS so this piece has had quite the journey!

I have a lot between projects, Patreon, the comic, and life (this month is booked 😂). But I def wanna do a few mermaid doodles in my sketchbook! So we’ll see how that goes!

Just a couple of blonde besties ✨I absolutely loved working on this piece for @otwhcomic ! I love doing photos like this, especially when they got a nostalgic feeling about them! Diane and Abel/Solaris’ friendship is so special to me ;-; they met as young teens and cultivated a deep friendship. Even when Diane’s story called her across country, they always stayed in touch…

[gbellasart]

Young love, circa 1988 💕✨

Catching up from being sick with a third and final photograph I whipped up for a comic thing (which you all will be seeing soon, Lord willing!)—I love Diane and John (Danny’s parents) so much 😭 this age was such a tender and innocent time for them! Just two kiddos in love without a care in the world and no fears about the future…😬😅

If you wanna keep up with comic things, check out @otwhcomic !! I keep forgetting to post to our Tumblr but I’m gonna be dumping a ton of stuff there shortly! We’re more active on our Instagram tho… 👀

“We were so young (and happy)…”

I don’t mean to bring on feels, but this trio gives me such a range of emotions. 😭 I reworked a messy doodle I did last year of Danny taking a selfie with his parents as teens—but I loved the idea of having Matt take the picture instead, so I tweaked some things and now we have these three enjoying a spring day at the beach (that’s where I imagine this sunny pic was taken lol). 💛✨

Th3 T3rr0rs band is finally here! I've already introduced Roxy and Kay, but Leon is a new addition of mine who plays the synthesizer and does the producing and mixing for the band. He's highly introverted and prefers to do stuff in the background, and has a great singing voice despite hating singing in public.

Ren belongs to @gbellasart and plays the electric violin in the band! She's the unofficial tattoo artist of the group as well, since she's had A LOT of experience with tattooing herself!

Mason belongs to @tealfoxarts and is the bassist of the band! He's also great with tech and will assist with setting up for pre-performances to make sure things run smoothly!

There's also technically a sixth member of the group--Ren's college-aged sister, Michal--but I'm saving her design for patreon ;)

[gbellasart]

YESSSS!! I’m so excited with how every design turned out!! Hehe it’s been so fun to figure out Ren and Michal’s designs! 👀 I’m excited to see where the story goes 👀👀👀 @jessmindspace @tealfoxarts

Cris n Harper doodle for @jessmindspace !!

This started as a sketch but it evolved into something more! 👀 I’ve been obsessed with my good friend @jessmindspace characters from her and her sister’s superhero storyline, Parallels! There are so many characters and different stories within the main story itself, so depending on your mood or time of day, there’s something for everyone! 💥

Lately she and I have been talking about the love story between Brent (Harper’s dad) and Cris (woman on the right). Long story short, They meet while working for the same company, and over time they form a bond which turns into something more 🤭 they sorta don’t like each other at first, but once they get to know one another, things change and it becomes a whole whirlwind romance! Harper (left) is definitely the mastermind behind it all 😂 she sorta played matchmaker early on until they got the clue to date! Eventually Cris becomes Harper’s step mom and it’s just so sweet ;-; i imagine this pic takes place long before that, but Harper loves snapping selfies and just happened to catch Cris so she could include her!

I need to draw more of my friend’s OCs—they’re just so fun to draw 👀👀👀

*Frodo Voice* It’s done …😭👏👏

I’m super super happy this piece is done—I think collectively it took almost 40 hours of time, over a span of 5 years? I would pick it up and work on it some, but inevitably get frustrated with the look/angle, and leave it alone for a good 6 months before repeating the cycle again—But more recently I was determined to tackle it again. I was initially inspired by the scene from the first episode of Trollhunters (don’t watch the movie lol the series is amazing but we don’t discuss the movie 😬)—where Jim is just staring all sappy eyed at Claire while Toby looks on in confusion— early on, Matt is more confused by John’s lovesick behavior—but as characters have developed over the years, that changed a lot.

Early on, Matt was very suspicious if this new girl who seemingly enchanted his closest friend/brother. Even after Diane starts tagging along, matt definitely harbors some jealousy since Diane disrupts the dynamic—eventually they do get along but it takes a little time. 😅 also it’s crazy to see how much Diane, Matt, and John have developed since 2020–especially their twin’s character designs—I originally had them as physical carbon copies—but I do love how unique they are despite being identical.

The lighting was a challenge to figure out—and it’s def not perfect, but I’m really happy with it! I wanted to have some focus effects, to better get the emotions each character is feeling in the moment— Diane is (seemingly) blissfully unaware, Matt is glaring intensely at Diane (and assuming she’s a vampire or siren or whatever), and John is like “that’s my wife” 😂

Character asks!

These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?

How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?

What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?

Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but was never told this…..

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?

A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:

1.

Take a 2 minute break and read this:

Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2.

You are really tired and frustrated.

All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3.

Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

4.

Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5.

How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6.

But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7.

Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment

8.

Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9.

FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

Reblog reblog reblog!!! This saved my life!!! I was 38 at the time. And working in a hospital in radiology. At night. The other tech was in ER with patient. I got up to go to ER to help( about 75 yards away ) when I felt a excruciating pain in my chest radiating to left arm n ha d and into neck n jaw. I dropped to ground. And I was alone in the department. I remembered the coughing technique CPR course. I started coughing and was able to get to my feet and make it to the ER, coughing as much as possible the whole way. As I entered ER a nurse said, " oh good your here to--- are you having chest pain?" That's the last thing I remember till I woke up 4 days later in Cardiac Care Unit. With a stint in a artery in my heart. Cardiologist said had I not done the coughing technique, I would not have survived long after initial onset of pain.

Tell your family, friends. Anyone. Everyone
