I’m begging you not to take it personally if you received this link instead of a personalized reply. I get literal hundreds of replies to and comments on my posts per day, many of which are the same questions over and over. I don’t have the time any more to go through them individually.

Where can I read your comic?

You can’t…yet. The final rewrite is currently in progress. I hope to release it around October 2025, with a few shorts potentially coming out before then starting around October 2024.

There’s a locked page on this website that will open up access to the full comic when it is time, and an announcement will be posted to my art socials, which are all linked here.

What brushes do you use? [ Digital Art Only ]

For pencilling and sketches, I usually use the “Shale Brush” that came preinstalled on Procreate or the “Pencil” that came preinstalled on Adobe Fresco.

For lines, I typically use the default round brush in whatever program I happen to be using.

As guides, I use hair brushes by Vegalia for some styles. I don’t use the brushes as-is, though — I line over them so everything is stylistically consistent.

Why won’t you give me free one-on-one advice if you post generalized advice for free?

If we’re being totally candid, it’s because of legal liability. You are not my client if you didn’t sign a waiver.

I’m also a licensed professional and it is completely unreasonable to expect me to do my job for free.

[Insert most of the common questions about my gender here] ?

• I’m agender.

• I’m TMA.

• Yes, I’ve had surgeries.

• Yes, I’m on hormones.

• Yes, nonbinary people do those things

• No, I don’t like being referred to as “nonbinary”

Who did your FFS?

You do not want to go to my FFS surgeon. She gave me a cosmetic rhinoplasty that I did not ask for and did not consent to, then ghosted me when I raised concerns. She also called the police on me when I reported her to the Texas state board of medicine for violating HIPAA. There is a post about what she did to my nose on Instagram.

Anyway, her name is Sarah Saxon, MD in Austin, Texas and she can go fuck herself. She deletes negative reviews, too.

How long have you been on hormones?

I’ve been on HRT for almost nine years, though I have swapped the proportions around wildly several times and I only started taking progesterone at the end of 2023.

What are your dosages?

Whatever gets my levels into the range I want them to be in.

Since people usually ask “what the hell does that mean?” when I say that, I’ll keep going: Reference ranges can usually be found on your blood tests, though far too many doctors will use the wrong ones (as in the ones for your AGAB and not the ones for your actual gender) so you should be quick to ask questions before you move to draw conclusions.

This always upsets people to hear, but hormone replacement therapy is not a “one size fits all” deal. You can’t just copy the regimen of someone whose body you want and end up with their exact physique — especially not if you’re ignoring factors like exercise and other such habits.

I also refuse to give out what could legally be considered “free medical advice” because I have more sense than most people on trans Xwitter. Yes, that was incredibly pointed. This is because many of you need to stop seeking and accepting medical advice from unlicensed, uneducated influencers and social media pages.

Have you had a BBL?

No, I’m just chubby and mixed and I do a lot of squats / stairs. I’ll also never get one, since the presence of important blood vessels in the area means that stabbing blindly into it is never going to stop being inherently risky.

I’ve done my best to keep track of which artists created the pins on my jacket since 2023.

Unfortunately, I’ve been collecting them since 2004, so I don’t have sources listed for all of them…yet. Keep checking in on this list, as I’ll be adding to it whenever I track down sources for the older ones.

Please do not email me asking about a specific pin! Send me a comment on Instagram or Twitter wherever you see the pin collection!!

Pins that are on my outfits:

• Art Gallery of Hamilton - Transgender Pantone Polaroid

• Botanical Bright - Most butterflies and moths came from this artist

• Bexa Boutique - “Take your meds” pin

• Goat Paws - Cat no Bananya button

• Kentucky Moon Designs - Most of the butterflies and moths

• Mother of the Moon - Glow-in-the-dark bat pin

Sneaking one drawing from November into this post:

Share, don’t repost: Instagram | Tumblr | Bluesky | Twitter

After getting some good news for the first time in a good, long while, I ended up feeling VERY motivated to resume work on the comic (working and/or final title still not decided.)

I opened Violet and CJ’s model sheets from three months ago to put the finishing touches on them and quickly came to the realization that the quality of my art has already improved a lot since September:

It’s a subtle difference, yet also huge…?

I felt like I had to give this treatment to the other heads I’ve drawn so far before I began work on any new ones:

Instagram | Tumblr | Twitter | Bluesky

It’s worth mention that these were also much faster to complete than other cleanup I’ve done on my own art. I’ll have to get even faster if I hope to actually finish the comic, but as of now I’m reaching a point where I can decide to draw something and not have to dedicate the entire day to it…

This post also begins with a reminder that I’m more active on Tumblr these days, so if you like my art or are curious what fandoms I’m currently a part of, consider following me over there!

A miracle happened. I finished a drawing.

There’s no need to repost - you can reblog the color version or the original on Tumblr or view it on Instagram

Quickies

Got some requests over on Tumblr to draw my characters wearing things. There’s something really funny about the fact that (at least for now) one of the only full length images of Jean-Claude in existence is them wearing an entire Hot Topic while visibly uncomfortable with that fact.

(Here’s the list of prompts that I used at the time, but keep in mind that if it’s not October 2023 any more, I will have stopped taking the requests.)

Diet Dr. Portra

I’ve personally found that the Fuji X Weekly “Portra” recipes tend to skew toward a sort of “Mountain Dew” yellow that just doesn’t match the results I get when shooting actual Portra 160, 400, and 800. The sky was also looking VERY green in a lot of photos I took with their recipe. I’m also admittedly not a fan of removing sharpness or adding grain in-camera — I would strongly prefer to do it later in Lightroom.

My goal with this recipe was to create something that would not look quite so out of place when I shared an image straight out of camera on Instagram next to countless photos taken on medium format and 35mm film.

• Film Simulation: Classic Chrome — (If you want to return some of the warmth to the midtones without turning the sky green, use Provia instead of WB shift!)

• Dynamic Range: 200 or 400

• White Balance: Direct Sunlight (5500K); Red: +2; Blue: -2

• Color Chrome Blue: Weak

• Color Chrome: Strong

• Highlight Tone: 0

• Shadow Tone: -2

• Color: +4

• Sharpness: +2

• Clarity: -2

• Grain: None, None (or Small, Strong)

• Editing in Post: Increase or decrease contrast until satisfied

( This all should look better when viewed on an iPad than the last one did, by the way! )

Here's the finished look from last night's stream! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to watch 💝 the bangs are giving me a little bit of an Elvira vibe this time.

We're currently playing Okami and Super Mario Galaxy on Mondays and Wednesdays! If you miss a stream, an archive of past streams is available on my Twitch channel, my secondary YouTube channel, and my Patreon.

Makeup takes a good chunk of time, so I think I'll be doing my face *before* the games for a while so we can devote more of each stream to getting through the story and exploring.
