#Inage'i

My nation put together this Tsalagi language children's show ...

as an language learning tool and it's just the cutest thing on the planet. I don't think I can explain the feeling of not only seeing your culture on screen and the language used in the way it is, but also... like to see these characters and what their wearing and it feels immediately familiar. Like I know who these people are immediately.

It's definitely made me not feel as alone in some of the stuff I make given how I see the same sorta notes and characters resonate here. If anything it’s made me want to create more. I'm bristling with energy. Just seeing my people out there. Being cool and in motion.

It’s just pure cozy elation. This would have meant everything to me as a kid.

ᏧᎦᏒᏍᏗ - For G.M. Rader , thank you very much!

Wanted to do a picture of a character called ᏧᎦᏒᏍᏗ (Juksvsd) from the Cherokee-language cartoon "ᎢᎾᎨᎢ" (Inage'i). Sometimes i feel a bit meh about doing art of existing IP, but in this case I quite liked the opportunity of using it as a way to learn a little more about something I am naturally not very familiar with and having GM along to point me in the right direction and explain things also was a welcome thing. So all in all a very fun project!
