"I should draw Māori Miku!" I said to myself. "Just a fun sketch, it shouldn't take me long" I said to myself. Six hours later I come to with this in front of me and a wrist begging for mercy but holy fuck worth it. I love this trend this was so much fun

PLEASE DON'T REPOST!!! ASK ME FIRST!!!!!

DISCLAIMERS AND NOTES ETC.... I'm Pākehā, meaning I am not of Māori descent. I hold so much respect for Māori people, for their values and traditions, and for the fierce pride with which kapa haka is performed. I thought if I was going to design a Māori Miku, it makes sense to dress her in a kapa haka kākahu, as her whole thing is singing and dancing!!! The tā moko is not based off any real person's moko. I referenced the temporary moko a lot of kapa haka performers wear!! Was tricky finding out whether or not depicting her with a moko was a good idea, so I went the safe route- showing an aspect of Māori culture without stepping over any boundaries!! Brown eyed Miku is everything to me shout out brown eyed Miku.... I referenced like seven different outfits to put hers together!! I really hope this looks accurate or at least passable. Thanks to adorkastock for the pose ref!!

My first post here 😞 here is a Tachihara drawing I made.

Palestine campaigns with under a thousand donations

Trying a new tactic with the fundraisers on my pinned list. These campaigns appear to gain a lot more traction when the number of donations hits a thousand, so here's a way to highlight those that could use more. These have all been vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr. Just like the main list, I'll keep you all updated with how things progress, and as always, if you can't donate, reblog.

Hello! I never draw the Beatles but I wanted to this time. I only ever draw animals and I want to get back into human stuff again. Idk if I can keep doing animals after this because no one sees them, I’m going to start practicing more humans and do animals on the side. I think because I don’t draw human Beatles no one sees my posts maybe idk, it’s very confusing. Anyway enjoy and also PLS GIVE ME ADVICE ON DRAWING THEM, I’m to slow.
