This is Frey, the protagonist of an upcoming webcomic I'm developing. In it, she hunts cryptids and faces her past in the far aftermath of a human-machine war.

Attention #artists! Stop guessing your hourly rate. If you need $2,760/mo to survive, but you only do "deep work" for 20 hours a week... Charging $25/hr means you are slowly going bankrupt. Here is the math. π§΅
When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.
