anyway, I had made a blog for critrole stuff to stop spamming everyone’s dashes but I’m too old and tired to run multiple accounts on a dying website so I’m going to be moving to @sotvrna if anyone wants to continue having their dashes filled with random shit I guess? idk. mostly I’m just running to an empty blog so I can escape the discourse, having too many followers is always a net negative etc etc

PALESTINE ART DRIVE POST

Hello all!

It’s that time again. It’s solidarity commissions time.

What are these art drives? How do they work?

Here’s what they are: you send or private-message or ask-send me a digital receipt (@soul-hammer). I also have a protonmail (soulhammers@protonmail.com), if you’re reading these posts but don’t have a tumblr account.

In return, you will get a sketch. I’ll send you the sketch privately and post it in this thread; there’s research to suggest that if people see you doing something, they’ll be more likely to do it along with you. It’ll foster a sense of community as well! I won’t put your name on it if you’d rather remain anonymous.

Where do I donate?

This time around, we’re donating to Palestinian aid organizations.

You can choose from ANY options in this thread and I’ll honor your receipt.

Here are a few places that stuck out to me (in case that thread gets deleted)-

Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund- Just what it says. Aid for Palestinian kids.

UPA Connect- United Palestinian Appeal. All kinds of aid.

Medical Aid for Palestine- Again, just what it says.

Mrs. Najah’s Kitchen- Food aid.

I prefer direct giving to families, but if you are afraid of sketchy individuals taking advantage of your kindness, that’s understandable. Again, literally any of those linked places in the twitter thread are fine.

How much do I donate?

As much as you feel like! The more you give, the better the art I’ll feel obligated to do in return. Last drive I think most people donated amounts between $5 and $10. One generous soul donated $30, so I gave her like three sketches.

So I just send you a screenshot of my donation and I get art?

Yep. And everyone can benefit from your kindness; I’ll share the art here and the people of Palestine will get life-saving aid.

What kind of art can I expect to get?

Here is the last sketch drive (Texas aid). Check the reblogs for examples of art.

Here was the first drive (for people facing police brutality), where people ‘paid’ for each page of a premade comic to be released. I probably won’t do anything nearly so involved this time, but if you want a for-realsies >10 page fully colored fully digitally edited full personal pan pizza comic, it’ll be like $300.

I’ll at the very least do pencils. $10 gets you at least inks. $15 gets you inks and colors. Anything more and you get bells, whistles, backgrounds, the works.

Most of these sketches are informal and Not Very Polished. The important thing is the donation; the sketch is added motivation.

What kind of art is cool to request?

I recommend not asking for anything you’d feel uncomfortable having others see. As I said, this is going to be publicly-posted, even if the requester can choose to be anonymous.

Don’t ask for fashy shit. I reserve the right to refuse to draw something. Use your best judgment. If you ask for something I feel uncomfortable doing, I’ll ask you for another option. That said, I’m very down to draw most things.

I hate your art and you can’t draw. How much can I pay you not to draw?

Except it’s $500. For $500 in donations, I will stop this drive. If you give Palestinians $500, I’ll post a photo of me pretending to cut off my drawin hand and that’s it.

After my phone breaking on me last night and the weekly vet trips with Vilya over the past month (and another on Friday) I’ve been left in a bit of a tight spot so I’ve decided to open extra commission slots.

All information including pricing breakdowns can be found here!

I also have a Ko-fi and prints of my critical role art are up on Etsy! Prints are shipped either the same day or the morning after your order has been placed!

I also paint realistic pet portraits, examples under the cut and can be seen in full size here! DM or email me at sjayart815@gmail.com with any questions or inquiries!
