Can you hear us? Can you feel what we’re going through? Fear. Hunger. Death. A never-ending siege. The silence of the world hurts as much as the bombs.

We're crying out to your humanity—please don't look away. Speak about us. Stand with us. We're not okay. We're trying to survive.

This is not a nightmare. It's our reality.

Don't forget us. Do something—anything. Share. Donate. Repost. Help keep us alive.

Help a Family in Need

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

Time for me to drawn horse, but not just any horses from my memory, but also an American paleo horse called “Equus occidentalis.” A underrated horse from late Pleistocene epoch.

As a navajo of the indigenous people myself (also as an artist of the latter), I honestly feel like alright if I would like used for future reference artwork.

How I draw skin Part 2: DON”T DRAW NATIVE PEOPLE WITH RED SKIN!!!! A tutorial

For the first tutorial on how I draw skin, see the post here.

But seriously, I’ve seen too many drawings of Native characters with literal red/pink skin to count so just in case some of you are having troubles with drawing Native people, I’ve provided a guide for you. Please take my swatches if it helps!! and no more red skinned people, please <0<

Disclaimer: this tutorial is mainly about the artistic depictions of Indigenous Peoples in North America, where the slur and redskin caricature originated, but it would still be racist to draw other non-North/Central/South American Indigenous groups like this so…..don’t.

Tameryraptor markgrafi

A new carcharodontosaurid with a weird-speculated horn-like keratin sheath. The latter of which is originally attended as Stormer’s Carcharodontosaurus saharicus from Bahariya Formation that unfortunately lost due to bombing during WW2, but ultimately now revived by describing the new distant species thanks to both lost drawings and a photo taken from 1920’s to all the way to present day.

The Dinosaurs of the Ojo Alamo formation

Time for more to make a non-avian dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous period set in the heart of San Juan county, New Mexico. In fact, it’s very similar to northern laramidia such as Hell creek formation with subtropical warm and humid climate, and Lance formation with bayou environment. But unlike two other formations, Ojo Alamo formation has a lush floodplain dominated by wetlands and riparian forests. Home to the fossilized Cretaceous fishes, amphibians, turtles, squamates, crocodilians, and mammals.

As for the non-avian dinosaur species themselves, there were 5 species are officially valid (but one of them is possibly a nomen dubium). The rest however are indeterminate and unnamed species.

From left to right:

* Dineobellator notohesperus

* Ojoraptorsaurus boerei (nomen dubium as of 2025)

* Glyptodontopelta mimus

* Alamosaurus sanjuanensis

* Ojoceratops fowleri

As I said before, along with the other species of naashoibito member, they were unnamed or confer (Cf) other species of non-avian dinosaurs that were yet to describe.

From left to right (Herbivores side & Carnivores/Omnivores side)

* Ceratopsidae indet (An torosaurus-like chasmosaurine indet.)

* Hadrosauridae indet (Originally attended as Kritosaurus navajovius, but now its unknown species as “kritosaurini” indet.)

* Ankylosauridae indet (Noted as being similar to Ankylosaurus and Euoplocephalus.)

* Lambeosaurini indet (Noted as being similar to Corythosaurus and Hypacrosaurus.)

* Richardoestesia sp. (A few isolated teeth specimens.)

* Dromaeosauridae indet (An isolated teeth of the Saurornitholestinae indet similar to acheroraptor, but not as sharp as the latter.)

* Troodontidae indet (Isolated teeth specimens.)

* Ornithomimidae indet

* Tyrannosauridae indet (Formerly known as “Alamotyrannus brinkmanni.” Either Cf. Tyrannosaurus sp or possibly a new taxon species that is similar to Bistahieversor as closely related.)

For last but not surly least, it’s a same navajo man from my previous old art is back as sized scale for larger and smaller scale projects.

But the only these two are still there but ultimately not included were Caenagnathidae indet and Ankylosauria (possibly Nodosauridae) indet, due to both similarities of Ojoraptorsaurus and Glyptodontopelta which are distinct from other species.

How to Draw Native People: a Tutorial/Reference Guide

As requested, here is a basic guide for how to draw Indigenous peoples (mostly focused on North America)! Also please note that this is not an exhaustive list of Native American phenotypes/features, and more like an intro on very common features that can be found in us, and even then, not altogether at once on a single person’s face. I highly encourage the use of references and care taken into research when drawing. I may do a part 2 that goes slightly more into depth, but for now, enjoy part one.

Resouces:

How to draw Native Skin tutorial (don’t draw us red!)

List of Native American Celebrities, which include their tribe(s) and home country, with 1,250 names, to use for your referencing pleasure

How to draw black people by Peachdeluxe, & Black hair in depth by misslaney for mixed black Natives

How to draw East Asian People, a guide by Chuwenjie, for mixed Asian Natives AND because it includes a lovely tutorial on monolid eyes, a shared feature of Native people
