Two versions of Madara. Fuzzy and not fuzzy. Body hair is hard, why is life like this? Also, I seem to have forgotten the nipples, but since it’s anime, it doesn’t matter. x’D Not 100% happy with it, but that’s fine. I may even edit a little more on it eventually, fix up a background, make his hair less pitch black, other shit. xD
It’s so significant too that this narrative was collected by Zora Neale Hurston, one of the greatest authors and anthropologists of her time. She was shunned by the “gatekeepers” of both of these professions, largely because of her Blackness, her womanhood, and her uncompromising commitment to honoring and showcasing both in her works. She died penniless and alone in a state-run institution in 1960. All of her works had gone out of publication by then. It took more than a decade before she was rediscovered. A young author by the name of Alice Walker had come across her work and was deeply inspired by it. “In 1973, after an exhaustive search, Walker came across Hurston’s unmarked grave in Ft. Pierce, Fla. She purchased a headstone for Hurston’s tomb and had it inscribed “A Genius of the South.“”
It is through Zora Neale Hurston’s pioneering sacrifice, and the acceptance of that inheritance by Alice Walker that we have found this missing piece of our history. Without the courageous and unfailing work of Black women, we wouldn’t have Cudjo Lewis’s story. We are slowly regaining a narrative that’s been hidden from us, one that continues to be lied about. Trust Black women to lead the way.
if u are reading this u have to make that phone call you’ve been putting off. to the doctor or your school or your family or the cable company. if there are multiple calls, just make one. go sit down and make the phone call. you’ll feel better!
Mallaidh Anne, normally this helps but it is currently midnight and if I call someone now they’re going to drive to my house and kill me
Trump, as I know you know, is trying his damnedest to take away a lot of people’s civil and human rights. His supporters necessarily support this -either because they actively hate us, or because whatever “non hateful” reason they have to support Trump is more important to them than the fact he is, as I said, trying to take away a lot of people’s rights.
So, when we see that we’ve been sharing the work of a Trump supporter, we want to know about it so we can stop. We don’t want to contribute to Trump supporters getting attention or getting paid for their art, no matter what the art consists of, because the person who made it either wants us dead/deported/fired or kicked out of our house for being trans/etc, or doesn’t care that they’re helping that shit happen. (And the distinction between those two things matters a lot less than you likely think.)
I just messaged the artist on his Instagram. This is NOT him.
Please spread this version. If he had a Twitter he would cross promo his Instagram. At least for the exposure.
Madara in progress! I like his face in this pic, and I’m kinda basing the hair thing on @yupingsan ‘s recent image of him pushing his hair out of his face? xD ♡
I’m kind of enjoying drawing again, so here we are. xD
