When Your Friend Draws U Art

To the parents who are boycotting Finding Dory over a FOUR-SECOND lesbian couple:

You’re letting your kids watching Disney movies which have:

naked women

a fucking stripper mouse

Satan

A 70 year old man enslaving a fucking 15 yr girl, giving her sexy outfits and calling her pussycat

This fucking movie

Drinking and smoking

Voodoo….

….which results in him, literally getting dragged to hell

And murder

But for some reason, a 4-second lesbian couple (or any future LGBT characters) is too inappropriate for your kids because now Disney is “perverted, evil, and it’ll brainwash your kids.”

Think of your priorities and morals.

Three years ago, my dog went viral on Imgur and Reddit, thanks to this picture I took right after she’d yanked down a post from the front of our house with her bare strength.

But like the image above says, this is not a good post.

That dog above, the one that made so many people laugh, her name is Eva, and she’s my 7-year-old lab. She was just diagnosed with canine lymphoma.

Without chemo, she only has 3 months left with us. But her oncologist has given her a good prognosis with chemotherapy. She could live to see her 9th, 10th, and even 11th birthday.

Which means more years of this happy, ridiculous puppy.

The price to extend her life? $8500.

I nearly died when I saw the number. I’m paying off 4 student loans right now, and my parents are in insurmountable debt. I thought, this is it, we’re screwed. In between crying spells and anxiety attacks, I realized what my choices were: give up and let Eva go in the next 3 months, or crowdfund my ass off.

Internet: you’ve done it before, now I’m begging you, do it again. Spread Eva like wildfire. She deserves a second chance. She deserves the extra time, and all the fun and happiness she’ll have in that time.

Here is the link to her gofundme.

Any amount you can donate will help tremendously. Please, help Eva.

I made a relevant comic strip about tracing art after recent discussing this topic in phandom with @philslesters [here], seeing what happened to @pinofs and expressing my own opinion. I mixed all together and converted it in inspirating and motivating [as I hope] little story about two artists.

Also, the story with Nikki has a good end as well, and I know a lot of people trace art to learn. It’s okay! Tracing someone’s art is okay if you use it as a self-taught tactic [kinda still for the beginners, better use references, references are your friends forever] and don’t share it as your own work by changing few details. But if you really do want and love to be an artist, please, don’t trace. Don’t make the mirror out of yourself. Be a prism. Don’t make other people who worked really hard feel sad or angry. Work hard yourself and make other people happy.

Love to all of you, who enjoy drawing as I do.\(* *\)

Also, comic includes @danisnotonfire and @amazingphil, because me and my digital fellows are trying to make a phanart-dom a better place and I think these two outstanding guys would support the idea I put in this story.
