🧿a Doodle Dump Of Multiple Interests I've Had Over The Past Few Months. I Want To Draw More. I Need

⨀ this is a bit old but I made a UTAU cover for this meme song that was making the rounds. since it had my girl Adachi Rei in it, I couldn't resist making a version with the OG robotic girls: Nijimine Kakoi and Nene Nene.

finally! someone representing Muslim culture right! even though I’m not “muhajabah” (they say hijabis in the states?) this is very accurate and it needs to spread! 

more on writing muslim characters from a hijabi muslim girl

- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - “not even water?” (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of “do you sleep in that?” (we don’t) and “where is your hair?” (in a bun or a braid, usually) - “is it mooze-slim or mozzlem?” (the answer is neither, it’s muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - “ee-slam or iz-lamb?” (it’s iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - “hee-job?” (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)

- “kor-an?” (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isn’t just covering hair, it’s also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just don’t like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isn’t just for special occasions, you’ll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isn’t just for muslims, either, it’s not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each other’s mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where they’re from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no “versions” of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking God’s name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - don’t use islamic phrases if you don’t know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means “God is Greatest” (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if we’re scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; it’s like saying “oh my god”) - Subhan Allah means “Glory be to God” (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if it’s in nature) - Bismillah means “in the name of God” and it’s just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means “if God wills” (example: you’ll be famous, in shaa Allah) (it’s a reminder that the future is in God’s hands, so be humble and be hopeful)

- Astaghfirullah means “i seek forgiveness from Allah” and it’s like “god forgive me” - Alhamdulillah means “all thanks and praise belong to God” and it’s just a little bit more serious than saying “thank god” (example: i passed my exams, alhamdulillah; i made it home okay, alhamdulillah) - when i say we use them casually, i really mean it - teacher forgot to assign homework? Alhamdulillah - our version of “amen” is “ameen” - muslims greet each other with “assalamu alaikum” which just means “peace be on you” and it’s like saying hi - the proper response is “walaikum assalam” which means “and on you be peace” and it’s like saying “you too”

⨀ the character design sheet from the Yuzu contest from a year ago. not my best work but I do really like these designs.

⨀ I love the tasteloids, I wish I was better with Utau because I'd happily make some covers with bitter. Bitter, salty, pepper, and yuzu are my favorites. salty's birthday is one day before mine! (I'm Dec. 2!)

inktober 21: drain 

when I was 6, I used to make weird soup mixtures in the bathroom when my mom wasn’t looking (we used to have this really long, big yellow bucket where I did the mixing) and then I used to empty it into the shower. I used to have fun making it and then watch it drain...

This seems cool I'm in booooooooooop

inktober 3: tranquil (scanned) finally got both my scanner AND my late sat ticket!!!

⨀ done back in 2022, it's a challenge for all of my classmates to procrastinate during spring break. The challenge was to draw the character we were supposed to be animating for class in our own style.

⨀ the character was a cyclops so I couldn't resist not drawing her with my favorite cyclops, Iris from Ruby Gloom. I loved that show growing up! might do more ruby gloom doodles in the future.
