I'm Iskra, a freelance artist from Poland. I draw fantasy characters and create a world full of queer, fanatical, power-hungry lizard people who rule a theocratic empire and discover truths about the world in their free time.
I also love floral and celestial themes.

Commissions opening in late May or early June!
Currently I'm quite active on my Patreon where I draw rewards for patrons, post all my art early, including exclusive WIPs and timelapses, and share snippets of lore about my OCs and their world.

Studies show that approaching youth with a bystander-intervention model is actually a lot more effective for reducing sexual assault, and it is also more enthusiastically received than programs that bill themselves as anti-rape.
We can tell youth that they are basically “rapists waiting to happen” (anti-rape initiative), or we can tell them that we know they would intervene if they saw harm happening to someone and we want to help empower them to do that (bystander intervention). The kids jump in with both feet for the latter! It was amazing to see children (and young boys in particular) excited to do this work and engage their creativity with it. Also, studies show that not only do they go on to intervene, but they also do not go on to sexually assault people themselves. Bystander intervention also takes the onus off the person being targeted to deter rape and empowers the collective to do something about it. It answers the question in the room when giggling boys are carrying an unconscious young woman up the stairs at a house party, and people are not sure how to respond and are waiting for “someone” to say or do something.

young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can
chester is also a part-time mechanism
