Dzierzynski the Nonsensical (Red Flood Fanart)

Fanart for a Poland led by Feliks Dzierzynski, from the Hearts of Iron 4 mod Red Flood. This is one of three paths in the game Feliks can take when he becomes leader after Pidsudski's death. In this path, he embraces Futurism in the vein of Avant-Garde France, Fiume and the Kavkaz Society and moves closer to the League Solar.

I will try and get around to drawing his other two paths eventually.

While I have your attention, can you please consider donating to the following fundraisers for individuals and families in Gaza:

The Finland of Edith Sondergran (Red Flood Fanart)

A watercolour illustration depicting the path focuses from the Hearts of Iron 4; Red Flood. This is based on the path for the Free State of Finland, where Futurists under the leadership of poet Edith Sondegran win the Finnish Civil War and turn Finland into a Kavkaz style regime based on revolutionary violence, free sexuality and uhh...eugenics. Also there's a lot of Cats.

Wanted to have something to post up for October so I redrew an old OC I had done from two years ago. I'm admittedly impressed with how my painting skills have evolved so far.

And while I'm finally making use of my art account here I should point your attention towards @mahrahpalestine, a Palestinian who had reached out to me to bring attention to her gofundme campaign.

She is currently trying to raise money for not only her family, but the families of her brother and married sisters. They have had to endure flooded tents, bombings and terror for so long and with the Gazan winter approaching things are already desperate, especially for their young children.

Currently funds are at $28,496 USD out of $50,000. Her campaign has already been vetted by @90-ghost . They are already half way through finishing their campaign and it is essential that donations do not slow down.

Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.

With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.

I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.

one thing i didn't know about nader, who runs the account @abdalsalam1990 to promote the corresponding gofundme for his older brother abd al salam, is that his father currently has cancer. can you imagine being 17 years old, under siege with a one year-old niece suffering from malnutrition, and trying not to get murdered by israel like your cousin and uncle were, knowing that your father's cancer can't be treated because of how costly it is? i'm 29 and i know i can't imagine that. but for nader, this is real. this is his life.

he's doing his best to ask around for help. but he needs all the help he can get. as everyone should know by now, the costs of basic necessities in gaza have been inflated to an extreme degree. people like to imagine that in a crisis situation, supply and demand would no longer apply, capitalists would give resources away, and people would be cared for. that's simply not the reality. many people in gaza live in tents, but those who don't still pay exorbitant rents for bombed-out apartments. the cost of any food at all, even if it's rotten, is exorbitant. and cancer treatment is expensive. nader and his family have to deal with all of this while trying to save up what they can in hopes that the rafah crossing will re-open and they'll be able to evacuate.

all that said: how can you help nader? if you have a little money, you can donate. if you have a blog, you can spread this post and others about him. and if you have the time, you can go to nader's blog and talk to him directly and ask how you can help. he'll answer, and his english is pretty good.

NEW OPPORTUNITY! Help shield a north Gaza family from bullets and explosions!

Baby Ayla, her mother Bashaer @bshaeromars-blog, and their family are about to spend a third consecutive night under heavy gunfire. They are surrounded on all sides by ground troops, shooting and shelling all around them. They are pinned down by shooting and have no way to leave the area. They are currently hunkered down in a makeshift tent in the streets, which provides no protection from bullets or explosions. Little Ayla has been unable to sleep, as she is terrified of the violence around her:

BUT WE HAVE A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO HELP

Bashaer is able to rent a nearby house so that they can at least have some protection from projectiles. This will also help protect them from the cold, which worsens every night and threatens baby Ayla’s health.

The cost of the rental is $2000 USD. With no sign of an end to the shooting, this is an extremely urgent need. We all have the opportunity to help get this family off the streets and give them what little protection there is to be found in north Gaza.

TEMPORARY GOAL: $2000 USD

**Progress: $0/$2000**

🇵🇸Appeal from a tormented heart:

✌️support for my injured child and husband

I am writing these lines to you with my heart burdened with worries, as I am the mother of a child whom I gave birth to in harsh conditions during the war. We have lived moments of pain and loss, my injured husband needs special care, while I face the challenges of everyday life on my own.

We live in a tent, where every moment lacks the basics. Food, drink, treatment, diapers, milk and vitamins for my baby these are things that have become a distant dream that we cannot provide in this difficult situation, I am trying to secure a better life and future for my child and my husband.

How can this little angel feel safe and we do not know to provide it to him in this war😔

I make a sincere appeal to everyone who can help. Every donation, no matter how big, will make a difference in our lives. Your support will be an opportunity for us to live with dignity and provide my child with the care and safety he needs

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your mercy and generosity. You are a light in our darkness, and your support represents to us the hope for a better tomorrow.

I need your support, and I will never forget you standing by me in the most difficult times.

Sincerely greetings،

✌️Ghada

Wanted to have something to post up for October so I redrew an old OC I had done from two years ago. I'm admittedly impressed with how my painting skills have evolved so far.

She is currently trying to raise money for not only her family, but the families of her brother and married sisters. They have had to endure flooded tents, bombings and terror for so long and with the Gazan winter approaching things are already desperate, especially for their young children.

I've been super busy with a digital media design course but now that I'm finished I've been getting into sketches again, this is one that I'm kinda proud of

The situation in the West Bank is spiralling from Ramallah, Hebron and Bethlehem.

Jenin is under siege, tanks are seen at the entrance of the Jenin refugee camp. Israeli snipers are positioned on top of buildings shooting as they please, and drones are roaming the sky of the refugee camp and had actually bombed the old city of Jenin with 3 Palestinians killed so far this morning (December 12). News and footage are just coming out and it's horrific.

Night raids and abductions have been accelerated in the past two months with 3800 abductions since October 7, and 278 Palestinians including children had been murdered in the West Bank since October 7 by Israeli forces, many are seen literally executed by Israeli occupation forces on the streets.
