this isn't really a resource for anything, but i found it during the begining of the build up of anti-trans bills being passed across the us. it made me cry and gave me hope, so i wanted to leave it here incase you also need a little hope right now.please be aware it touches on abuse, suicide, and misgenderingthis game was made by ira (the website at the end leads to an error page, the above link is its carrd)

my current projects

I've been working on a post-apocalyptic short-story anthology inspired by minecraft for almost a year now!! it's called blocks!!! The 1st draft is on a google site i made a while ago, and the 2nd draft comic is on webtoon, but I'll be publishing the finished 8-part series on wattpad!along with Blocks, i have a published game on itch.io (that i've been trying to re-make for years) called Alive. it was one of my first true passion projects that i put a lot of work into, and i still think it tells a really neat little story. to summarize, it's a text-based interactive-fiction/choose your own adventure game where you explore the void and feed ducks with a stranger :)You can check both of these out using the previous links, or by heading over to my portfolio website and going to "current projects" :)

u queer?

yep :)
i'm non-binary & agender, as well as an angled aro-ace lesbian (ace + grayrromantic)pronouns?i use it/they pronouns [ i like it/its, but they/them is also cool too :) ]

what do u use to make art ?

as for software, mainly i use procreate to draw digitally, but sometimes i like to use ibis paint x for comics :)
when i'm working on digital collages i use Canva or pinterest shuffles, and when i need to do some quick text formatting & photo editing, i use photopea :)
i edit almost all of my videos (speedpaints & animatics/animations) with capcut. its a great program and does almost everything premiere does but in a much more intuative and user-friendly way. it's available on desktop and mobile, so you can even edit stuff on your phone if you wanted to :)i'll accasionally use photoshop, indesign, and premiere but i don't really like adobe, so i don't use them very often unless its for school.
[ industry standard my ass, we love free tools in this house ]as for hardware, i have a 9th generation Ipad and a 1st generation apple pencil. i use my PC for a lot of design, formatting, and video editing, just because i find a keyboard and mouse make it a lot easier to do those sorts of things.《 programs list 》procreate
