it's been forever and a day BUT i finally finished Mephisto for @rovey

:)

small non-artsy update: i'm still alive but now with more snakes and some pet related news.

Next to Asmodeus aka Linguini, there is now Elim -

and - one year later - the very well tempered Mephissstopheles.

Sadly, Hannibal died after six months of endless vet-visits, fighting against "probably some form of blood-cancer". His sister Kali... whom has no picture on this site thanks to her being an unphotogenic black void - let's change this now...

....was an only-child for roughly one week before this one decided to stick out the winter in the garage and somehow lives here now:

this was back innovember(?).he's now about 5-6 months old and named Fenrir - because i thought it funny and he absolutely would tear off my hand if it meant more food.

And then there's the reason i have not drawn or painted anything worth posting for ages now: Haldir

this is him at 5 weeks and so fucking tiny - and then now at 4 and a half months (a 10kg giant monster that eats all of my time and nerves) <3

Is there a way to submit my pizza for display at the MoMA 🖼🎨

Interactive Fiction Community Raffle for Palestine!

Over 50 authors and artists from the Interactive Fiction community here on tumblr have come together to offer an array of prizes for a focused donation drive! We are aiming to raise as much money as possible for five families who are currently trying to evacuate Gaza. These fundraisers have been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi (thank you for your hard work!)

RULES:

You MUST donate a minimum of €5/$5 USD to one of these five fundraisers to qualify for a ticket. These are the currencies the GFMs are in (3 in euro, 2 in USD). We chose this amount because it is the minimum GFM allows and we are hoping to encourage as many donations as possible. Please be mindful that GFM does not show the conversion rate if you're donating outside your currency.

Donating once to all five GFMs will get you five tickets. And for each extra 5 you donate, you will get an extra ticket. (ie donating 10 to one GFM gets you 2 tickets, 15 gets you 3, etc.)

There are two tiers we will be pulling prizes from: one tier for writing, and one tier for art. When you submit your proof of donation, you will be asked to specify which tier you want your ticket to go towards. If you are submitting for more than one ticket, you will specify the tiers for each ticket-- you can spread them out between both tiers or put them all towards one.

You will be required to share a receipt/proof of donation via uploading a picture through google forms. We will not be handling any money. You are donating directly to the GFMs, and then showing us proof that you have done so. Please include the GFM and the amount you've donated in the screenshot you upload. We are only taking donations starting from June 7th onward.

We plan to raffle off all possible prizes using a random generator. Once the drive concludes on the 21st, we'll take a few days to gather up & organize the tickets and draw names, and then we will be in touch with winners both on tumblr and via email.

You can find the full list of contributors and prizes here.

Please understand that these prizes are pulled blind and assigned at random. You cannot pick or choose which writer/IF or artist you get. It is completely randomized. You get what you get-- even if you aren't familiar with the writer or their game. Artists and authors also have the right to refuse your request at their discretion. Please be respectful and remember that our main goal and focus here is fundraising for these families.

Abdullah Mohammed and his family

Mohammed Bardaweel and his family

Bilal Salah's family

Suad and her family

Firas Salem and his family

We encourage you to share these families and their fundraisers here and elsewhere. We're hoping by focusing our efforts we can really make a big impact for all of them.

Ticket submission form:

Access Google Forms with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).
