I made an incredibly weird comic for 24-Hour Comics Day. It's about a children's show host who forms an unhealthy relationship with his new puppet. You can read it in this thread or you can download it through @itch.io

I'm going to try 24-Hour Comic Day again this year! Last year I didn't prepare very well. I got to page 12 and then fell asleep before the 24 hours were up loll, so I'm hoping I'll get farther this year!

Drawing my celebrity robot OC Morgan again! Compared to other OCs of mine, he has been very popular with my followers and friends. I'm sure he loves the attention.

Illustration for my super creative friend @/alphaori on Tumblr. They're making a fun fishing minigame for TTRPGs, and I got to make art for it!

Definitely one of my favorite illustrations of yours!

He loves cats and 90s/2000s internet culture stuff because by the future point in time he lives in it's considered "retro" and has probably cried that he will never meet Tony Hawk or Hatsune Miku.

Hector is an unserious psychology student interning at a sketchy mental health company that works to remove nightmares from people's dreams by going inside the dreams themselves, he hates his job and kind of wants to quit his degree.

Something I had to painfully learn that I would like to pass on to you if you have judgments is that you almost always know a lot more queer people than you think you do, so please be open to learning about how queer people feel before you hurt someone you love.

It took me so long to think about it, I felt very bad because when I was younger I had not been kind to kids who had similar feelings that I did not understand at the time (if you’re reading this, I’m sorry!). It was very embarrassing to have that insight and I was worried that I would disappoint my family and God and somehow betray womankind.
Karma is real because now I look in the mirror and realize I have become the ultimate nonbinary stereotype.

Kat McGee @ananomalyspeaks.bsky.social · Jul 15

Consider this an official coming-out post since I have avoided discussing it openly before! I totally chickened out posting this during Pride Month.
It would have been so much longer, but I really tried to cut it down.

#lgbt #lgbtq+ #nonbinary #comingout #enby

I identify as agender/nonbinary now with they/them pronouns Happy International Non-Binary People's Day, I wanna talk about it! (and demisexual but honestly that's a whole other conversation I'll explore another time)

While agender can be interpreted in different ways depending on the person, it means to me that under the umbrella of nonbinary (outside the gender binary) I feel genderless. After seeing the president of the United States go up on a stage live and say it will be a policy of the US to only have two genders I realized I couldn't bring myself to wait four more years for the next president to tell anyone and just came out to everyone a couple days afterward.

Most of my exposure to trans people growing up were caricatures online showing them as ugly, loud, and mean people who were confusing and I didn't want to see myself in. Even in positive depictions of trans people, it was usually in the context of changing yourself within the gender binary and described as “in the wrong body” or “I had always known and liked boys/girls things better,” which are valid experiences but not ones I could relate to at all. Especially since I was very much considered a "girly girl" by most people around me growing up.

I had never consciously thought about it before, but my feelings were hiding behind a huge build-up, a giant dam in the back of my head. Once it broke it was all I could think about. For multiple years after this, I did increasingly embarrassing things to "make sure" I was cis including asking every single person I knew if they had thought about being the other gender and taking multiple "am I trans" quizzes online.
My wonderful friends were too supportive and told me that only I could decide if I was cis or not and that no one could tell me who or what I was. Which was amazing but drove me crazy! Ironically now that I've accepted it it doesn't haunt my thoughts constantly anymore and I'm at peace.

...realized this morning that the venn diagram of people who think artists NEED to take hallucinogenic drugs to create weird art and people who like genAI because it can produce weird, messed-up images is a circle...

You write nonbinary characters so well, I was so charmed by the way Camp Prodigy was written. ^-^

I think about this comic so often. So much story is packed into only 5 pages, it feels much longer than it is (in a great way). I always want to see more of these two by the end but it wraps up perfectly!

Kat McGee @ananomalyspeaks.bsky.social · Jun 25

Happy Make a Terrible Comic Day today! I decided to make a comic about my sweet cat Misty. Her favorite anime really is Mob Psycho 100, she's very attentive to it.

I wasn't going to participate in the OC Pinup Challenge I had seen around lately until I remembered I had Morgan!

He's a robot celebrity who hates performing for people and wants to try to commit to world domination instead. I am so normal about him!!

He also gave me the advice to always surround myself around other artists because he thought I'd thrive surrounded by creatives (tbh it really has helped a lot!) and become famous someday. ;w;
I'd work way harder in his classes because I didn't want to disappoint such a sweet old man.

Kat McGee @ananomalyspeaks.bsky.social · Jun 7

While studying animation/game design in college, I had a very kind professor who said that my vision was unique and that he admired that I wanted to know HOW something worked and not only showing interest in the results. It was very nice and something I worked very hard on so I remember it a lot! :D

Davis Bickford @davis.social · Jun 5

Artists 👋 what's a compliment you've received that has really stuck with you or meant a lot to you? I'm curious, and also, I think it's nice to occasionally remind yourself that people appreciate what you do and that it matters 🥰

Davis Bickford @davis.social · Jun 5

A thought that often occurs to me: “I really need to expand my vocabulary so I have more ways to compliment my friends’ beautiful artwork.”
