Stand in Solidarity

Posted by Kunishiro - January 7th, 2024

If you have been keeping up with any world news you're aware that Palestinians within the Gaza strip are suffering greatly right now. While I know it isn't much I would like to help spread awareness about this issue and show solidarity for those in Gaza, and infact the many other places experiencing any kind of termoil.

The watermelon has become a symbol for/showing support of Palestine. I'd like to do a little collab with creators on this website.

Simply

1. Draw a chibi of your sona or an oc you have with a watermelon, they could be holding,eating it,etc.

2.Send it to me as a png over newgrounds PMs

The due date will be on 1/20/2024

The example:

Hi! I thought this was interesting and I was wondering if it is supposed to be similar to what other artists have been doing in this post on twitter? https://x.com/caterpillerclub/status/1744807515823423519?s=20

Kunishiro 2024-01-10 17:27:46

You'd be correct, I was inspired by this from a tiktok post but never got an official name for it. Thank you for sending me the link!

Riveet099 2024-01-10 23:40:03

Is there a recommended size constraint to this for the canvas?

Kunishiro 2024-01-10 23:40:03

Hello, not particularly? I usually just transform the pieces to fit into the collage so i guess you could just do whatever is preferred

OnyxGalaria 2024-01-11 11:22:07

@Kunishiro since you extended the deadline, you should also let fulp know about it so he could update it on the event calender [dunno how it works ><]

Kunishiro 2024-01-11 11:22:07

Oh true, this is my first time doing something like this so thanks for the heads up

OnyxGalaria 2024-01-11 11:37:00

@Kunishiro all good! just wanna make sure it's all going to plan!

KhaosKitsune617 2024-01-11 11:38:02

why a watermelon

OnyxGalaria 2024-01-11 18:16:28

@KhaosKitsune617 The watermelon actually has a rich history and is a symbol for Palestine! It started after the Six Day War when Israel took control of Gaza and the West Bank. Back then, displaying the Palestine flag was a criminal offence in those parts.

To get around this, Palestinians used the humble watermelon as it has the national colors; red, black, white and green!

@DArkwright20 @Kunishiro read all of it, definitely a cornball.

+I condemn you and your family, a thousand years inside a vat of boiling oil.

KhaosKitsune617 2024-01-11 19:20:52

@OnyxGalaria cool. i plan to draw my tribute inspired by this video. it's not based on the war but still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQq7EDBLvm0&ab_channel=PaulDablue

crummylion 2024-01-11 19:58:21

Ya know? This gives me the opportunity to draw an old oc I've not doodled in years. I'll get back to you on that.

Kunishiro 2024-01-11 19:58:21

Thank you!

Riveet099 2024-01-11 20:37:50

@Kunishiro Alright cool. Just wanna be sure I don't make something too small that gets warped when enlarged or something

500K killed in syria: nobody cares
380K killed in yemen: nobody cares
240K killed in afghanistan: nobody cares
500K killed in sudan: nobody cares
300K killed in iraq: nobody cares
israel defends itself against terrorism and hamas-run gaza health ministry claims 20K are dead: international outrage

crummylion 2024-01-15 08:57:31

@dizzyjump Ya know, you would have made a point if you brought up the fact the Palestine/Israel conflict has been going on for decades. But no, you had to regurgitate propaganda to make the apartheid appear innocent of all charges.

G0ldenfire357 2024-01-16 15:44:03

Wait what?! Why didn't I see this earlier??? I want to spread awareness as much I can(which isn't much tbh). Especially if it's a collab! I love art collabs! If I do it now, i'll only have 3-4 days to do it ToT

Also idk what Darkwright20 said, but I saw the absolutely awful take they had on the JJJacksFilms & SSSniperwolf situation, so I can tell it's bad.

Kunishiro 2024-01-16 15:44:03

If you want other ways to help spread awareness i suggest some of these!

reposting videos tackling the subject/videos from reporters in Palestine. Bisan is one of the reporters I recommend, and YourfavoriteGuy on tiktok for good coverage on the topic.

Or if you are looking to send some money, I suggest donating Esims. Since trucks/other forms of support are being stopped from entering the next best thing is esims which will help people in Gaza communicate with family or the outside world! Heres a tiktok on how you can do so. https://www.tiktok.com/@ykhong/video/7301318346614574379?q=palestine%20esim&t=1705448515166

G0ldenfire357 2024-01-16 19:02:18

@Kunishiro I do help in other ways, I just want to do this too. I'm just surprised at how sudden this came up on the calander and how soon the due date is.

But thanks for the new resources!

Kunishiro 2024-01-16 19:02:18

No problem! Glad you found it now then later lol

babygirlalaura 2024-01-16 21:47:22

omg I can't believe I haven't seen this before now!! heh I'll be honest I've been kinda frozen in place with how many terrible things we've been seeing and hearing, but the least we could do is use art to show support here!
I think I got a chibi to make now :>

Micgronoldshtien 2024-01-16 21:50:31

quick question. Is it okay for my OC to be wearing a watermelon? their helmet is very circular, and I thought it'd be funny.

PachkaNG 2024-01-17 21:52:17

@dizzyjump It's not that we're mad over that, it's that we're mad that a system of mass terror and genocide is still going happening, and our religion is being defiled because they're using it as an excuse for atrocities by stating it's all the commands of the torah. We cannot let this blatant injustice happen anymore. Unity shall triumph over apartheid

SkilledFella 2024-01-19 00:09:16

Awesome collab, I will draw something related to my OC and a watermelon.

wonkenabi 2024-01-19 15:12:47

if mine is really shitty mspaint stuff is it ok? nice idea by the way.

Kunishiro 2024-01-19 15:12:47
