Help it's again

Happy #PortfolioDay!

I'm Christine, I'm an animal fantasy and wildlife illustrator and Environmental Conservation student.

I do a lot of digital art but I'm branching into gouache and loving it ;)

See more of my work and my commission sheet: linktr.ee.com/skidarstudios

Egg-cellent news! The first California condor eggs of the season have been laid at our wildlife conservation center, and more could be on the way.

Last March I took my Animal Migration students to the coast of Texas to see migratory animals and their critical habitats in person.

A great joy for me was seeing green jays with my own eyes for the first time. As suspected, I instantly loved them.

I finally got around to an illustration ❤️

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X)

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Because I’m a little nuts, a wrote a fanfic for my own, yet unfinished novel. This story, called What If? is about what happens to my characters if the apocalypse doesn’t happen. Part 1 is posted on my Patreon now!

I haven't even designed the painting for the paint night I'm teaching at the end of this month and one of my previous painters still registered for spots anyway 😊

It feels good to have people excited to do events with you, even without knowing what they're gonna do yet. Just feels good

‼️ URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST ‼️

Please help me move out safely. I'm being kicked out of my current living space. I need to be out by April 1st. The details are in the post. I need a min.of 2000 CAD. Ko-fi link here:

ko-fi.com/themythicbun...

#mutualaid #trans #disabled #helpsky #disabledcrowdfund
Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words in large letters: HELP ME LEAVE MY ABUSIVE HOUSE! aka, my abusive mother is kicking me out. Please. HELP. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his request with some words emphasized: I'm making a mutual aid request. I need help. My mother has issued me an eviction notice. I have to leave by April 1st, or she will kick me out with police force. She has threatened to do this a couple times. This time, I know she means it. I will be moving in with @CryptAesthetics, who has been made aware of every step of her abuse since it began. We're aiming to move out by the end of March, and I need assistance raising money to pay for first & last month's rent, plus movers for myself since most of my friends do not drive, but can help pack. Whatever else we make will help me puchase house essentials & mobility assistance, and help pay part of @CryptAesthetics first/last, too. We are looking to raise a minimum of 2000 CAD. 1500 for first/last on my part, 300 for movers, & 200 for a new mattress for myself. If you can help, please donate to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/themythicbunny or my paypal, linked in the replies of this post. In the following image, I will be detailing the situation as it's unfolded, with the added notion that I do not have steady access to the kitchen, and thus haven't been able to keep or have food steadily since August, and must constantly order food, putting myself in debt to feed myself. I've saved up 200 the last two months by limiting food. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his situation, with some words emphasized with different colour: In December 2023, I re-connected with my abusive mother who claimed to have changed and was 'doing better'. After a couple of months, I thought this change was permanent, and she made the offer to move in with her in April 2024, in my childhood home. This was my mistake. I trusted her, and put faith in her, hoping that the change she displayed was permanent. It was not. For the past two years, her treatment towards me has worsened significantly, especially these last several months. It turns out, just because someone doesn't beat you anymore, doesn't mean they've stopped being abusive altogether. She has completely iced me out while removing access to essentials such as access to the bathroom on the same floor my room is (I am disabled. I can't be constantly going up and down stairs. She forces me to do this anyways by locking the door every night), removed toilet paper handles, taken away essentials I helped purchase with my own money, financially abused and harassed me, gaslit me, has weaponized, discriminated, and mocked my mental and physical disabilities, because they 'made her life worse', threatened to keep me hostage in her house until I paid her back money that I owed her, and turned every single one of these situations into her being the victim. Now, she's misgendering me and actively insulting me and my siblings loudly on the phone and to friends, slamming doors, cussing and cursing about me when I'm home, and doing everything she can to scare me. It's working. I'm scared. And I need out.

Yesterday I returned from a symposium in Iceland. It was an incredible meeting with an incredible group of people in an incredible place.

I left feeling seen and excited about the work ahead.

I illustrated a common eider while there, a fitting symbol for the work of the symposium itself.

There are DEFINITELY enough artists and animators out there to sustain a happy and healthy business providing specialty products and software to people within that community. What there isn’t, is a large enough consumer base to make the line go up forever for shareholders
