Do or DIE Comics

Just a trans girl trying to make art and escape Tennessee. gofund.me/73c3511eb

[thatdarlingdandy]

Things are looking bleaker in Tennessee everyday for the trans community & I for one am not looking forward to sticking around to see how far it goes.

Thats why I'm rebranding as Do or DIE Comics because I intend to get the hell out of here the second my lease is up in a couple months. Do or DIE stands for committing to transition and taking control of your life NO MATTER WHAT.

Ill be posting a lot more, if you like my art and can give, theres a link to our gofundme in my bio.

Anything helps. Thanks a lot.

i actually do think you should draw clocky trans people. no i don’t think they’re a stereotype or caricature. i think that’s a horrible thing to say about real people who exist. i think that’s a horrible thing to say about my friends and my family. i want to see your art of a trans boy with curves and long hair and baby face because that’s me. i want to see your art of a tall trans girl with broad shoulders and facial hair because that’s my friend. stop being scared to draw the people you know.

“I’m not going to draw a clocky trans woman because that’s how TERFs draw them” i don’t think my friends should be forced to only see themselves in artwork made by TERFs and transphobes. They should get to see themselves lovingly drawn by other trans people.

i really love your artstyle and your designs for the genderbent jsa. which characters are you planning to include?

Thank you so much! I really did not expect so much positive feedback for these, especially so immediately. As for the immediate future I've scratched out designs for Lonnie Thunder, Hour-Girl, Doc Midnite, Star Woman, and The Spectress.

Beyond those previously listed I'm probably not not gonna prioritize characters who already have a clear fem analogue-looking at you Hawkman. In those cases I really wouldn't be reinventing the wheel unless I drew the Hawks as lesbians or somethin, now thats an idea. I'm also really focusing on turning male golden age heroes fem for the most part as the boys really got in line for first for A LOT of the more classic archetypes and powers plus they have the benefit of not being inherently objectified or sexualized so its important to me that we can kind of imagine a world thats populated by more women who are able to just be heroes without that baggage if that makes sense.

Any characters you'd particularly like to see?

This one might be my favorite so far! One of the more under appreciated JSA'ers IMO (they didn't even include him with the JSA at the end of the Wesley Dodds, The Sandman-) I've turned Al Pratt into Alberta 'Ally' Pratt- AKA Atoma!

I had an urge to draw a genderbent JSA so here's Alana Scott, the Green Lantern~

Cunty Oswald Cobblepot drawing I conjured out of boredom.

Idle Rich and Anna De Town, two itenerant trans vaudevillians who worked too blue for vaudeville. They landed themselves in the seedy burlesque circuit where they would meet and become surrogate parents to Lady Rampart in her younger days.

The Atlas Tower, center of trade and commerce in Epicropolis, the Atlas looms large as the tallest skyscraper in the city.  It also happens to loom over city hall, both in terms of its literal shadow and the influence those who deal within hold over government and policy.
