Alita Senna Diaz (she/her) 🏳️🌈🇨🇺 Professional Cartoonist/Lesbian Read my cyberpunk comic Dark Science! http://darksciencecomic.com/ https://dresdencodak.com/ https://patreon.com/dresdencodak Block AI on sight 🚫
We should still have little video game instructional booklets instead of annoying tutorial levels.
Showing my gf the Dominion Tank Police OVA's and I'm reminded that while GitS is the Shirow Masamune manga that influenced me the most, my favorite to read is always Dominon. I think he really shines when he's extra goofy. Also we get the OG anime catgirls, the glorious Puma Twins!
Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this
I frankly don't appreciate coming out of a month of art block to then face a week of forest fire smoke...
When I say GitS was a big influence on Dark Science, this is what I mean
we are getting spoiled
You can read all of Dark Science (as well as my various side comics) for free on my website! dresdencodak.com/archives/

I think I asked this in the past, but where can I access and see your comic?
I think this is partly because in my heart I am still a gay 13-year-old buying a soda because Sailor Mars is on it
Social media skews my impression of who reads my comic and will make me forget that a big chunk of my readership is actually 13-year-old lesbians

Something that's come up a few times in person is readers being surprised that I'm 5'8". More than a few times over the years people mistake my 5'1" girlfriend for me. Do I give Tiny Lady energy???

As a modestly tall (5'8") sorta-buff sword lesbian, I think I draw these as aspirational goals.
All humans should watch OK KO, it's one of the greatest cartoons made this century

OK KO premiered 9 years ago?! Today, the show is not available to stream legally but is being kept alive by a devoted fanbase who I hear from all the time. You guys are the best. Thank you for watching the show!
At tonight's PSL event I clearly made my mark as a revolutionary thinker

Yeah it costs us so much. A switch from billing through iOS to browser is a big boost to the Patreons you support.
I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me
You do not have to use AI for anything. Not because you're scared of it. Not because you hate investor capitalism. Not because it's a shunting mechanism for fascism. But because you genuinely believe in the import, accuracy, and craft of your own work.
Can confirm, my monthly earnings have been wildly unpredictable for a number of reasons recently, but I suspect this is a contributor. If you signed up on the iOS app, I’d encourage you to do it on a desktop browser instead.
Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off
just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights
Absolutely. My philosophy has always been "if I make something I love first and foremost, statistically there have to be other people who will love it too, because I'm not *that* unique" 😅
Honestly some of the best stories were made small in scope with a limited audience in mind. Personal stories are 1000% better than generic ones made for everyone. And sometimes we need to make something that's just for ourselves. Something we wish we had when we were growing up.
