Hi! I'm Destiny Slater, a Deaf artist + 2D animator! I experiment a lot, but you can expect focus on Deaf, animals, original characters, friends, and stories through drawings, comics, and animations! Enjoy!

Turnaround sheet of Bibi the Deaf Cat, designed by Destiny Slater. Bibi is a white mouthless cat in more abstract shape, she have a huge blue eyes, eyebrow, blush and all. Showing all views around her. Three characters dressed up in Halloween outfits, from left to right: Hope Fox dressed up as a fox, she is signing, "SAME" as she says, "We're canines! We're the same!!" Her scrafhand is pointing at Taiya who is as hyped as her, he is dressed up as a wolf. In the center behind both characters, Kuro, he's a vampire and he's annoyed by their hype, he thought to himself, "Oh awesome, I'm surrounded by fucking furries now..." but a stand of live hair he have is judging him at the tip and thinking to itself, "You're not any better, Batman." Four anthromorphic hands characters signing in the following number: 2025, they are celebrating happy new years, dancing, but the number 5 orange guy slaps thumb on number 2 who reacts happily Three-column image of full-rendered illustrastions from left to right: Two feline characters cuddling, alien sitting cutely, and buff woman on motorcycle.

This drawing took me about 9.5 hours, I've learned a lot from working on this drawing and it is interesting to see what my more polished work would look like. And of course, it's @rylontheleopard.bsky.social and me being lovely wovely cuties! :3 💚
A daytime park scene with a lake, mountain, and trees. The main subject is two couples sitting on a picnic blanket under a tree, a long-haired, round-sunglassed male leopard being kissed by a female black-footed cat with long brown hair and a blonde bang. There is an open picnic basket that contains napkins, sandwiches, and two canned sodas. Next to the leopard, there is a grape. In the bottom left and right corners, there is a front perspective frame, and they are wild strawberry plants.

Portland is a canary in the coal mine. If the government crushes their right to protest into silencing them, then the rest of USA is next. What happens in Portland will echo across the nation, and if we don’t defend them now, no one’s freedom will survive. All eyes are upon you.

PFP commission for ErrorFerret, thank you so much again for commissioning me to draw your OC with your cute little galaxy ferret!
A headshot of a galaxy ferret and a crystal-horned male character in shiny dark purple hoodie, white hair, and shadow skin. They both are looking at each others contently and happily.

Disabled people can’t “just move” to escape fascism.

Moving requires resources, money and health that most of us don’t have.

Many countries won’t accept disabled people, especially if they have universal healthcare.

People are trapped, so we must fight for them.

You should create one if it's within your niche! I'm not confident with my knowledge and judgement with a photography.

Note to self- make a masterlist of Deaf-created webcomics and Deaf cartoonists tonight.

Feel free to drop all of your suggestions off here. It has to be created by those who are in the Deaf community or a clear proof a Deaf consultant was in it.

Portland is like a canary bird in the coal mine. If Portland can't protect their space, then the rest of the USA is in trouble. Please have them in your thought. Fuck Trump and his administration. Solidarity from Pittsburgh, PA.

Heya! This is pretty vague and I can think of like more than 10 webcomics with ASL.

For the starter, can you try digging through the starter pack of Deaf artists in here, maybe you'll find someone?

There was a comic posted on here a long while back that showed a really creative way of depicting sign language (it wasnt hawkeye. It was an indie or webcomics thing). I think there was a font too.

I know this is vague as Im asking for a student of mine, but would anyone have any leads on that?

Heya, I don't normally ask for this, but can you do me a small favor? I posted a comic recently and I was wondering if I can have your help to spread it around by reposting it or commenting on it? I'd like more people to read it, please and thank you!

Afterthought note by Sakeozo. This comic uses ketchup as a playful analogy to show ordinary opinions can slide into prejudice and control. The steps aren't a fixed sequence, any of them can happen in different orders under the umbrella of authoritarianism. It's meant to simplify a complex topic and spark curiosity, not be a full explanation. If you're interested, dig deeper into how bigotry, fascist, and authoritarian systems develop. Ketchup analogy Credit is @drbbayrutie on Threads and Instagram.

Censorship. A digital video post with interaction greyed out, with top warning box note says, "This post violates our policy and it is hidden from the public." In the video it s a news in front of government building, a mustard flower is speaking with microphone, the headliner says, "Breaking news: Ketchup ban vote." Surveillance. A giant angry target-eyed camera pointing at a small group of characters discreetly passing action now flyer around. The camera thinks to itself, "Activity logged, submitting to the watchlist database..." Stochastic Terror. Short-format video on mobile phone, a tomato saying, "These ketchies are plotting to poison the mustard supply." And beyond the mobile phone, there is a lone mustard flower person who recently shopped looks around the surround, to notice many disgruntled tomato people judging with hatred looking at her. Fascism. A higher-up tomato person that looks evil recently signed an executive order, saying, "From this day on, only mustard is allowed. Thank you for your attention on this matter." In the background the impact can be seen with police brutality, like one egg person got slammed to the ground that the yolk come spilling out, mustard flower being detained, and a soybean runs away.

Authoritarianism rarely starts loud. It starts with small digs, it is the kind you shrug off until it’s too late.

When I first saw @/drbbayrutie’s ketchup analogy on Threads, it clicked and I wanted to elevate her post and show how these patterns grow. This comic is my take. Enjoy! 🍅
Opinion. A tomato person says condescendingly, "Ketchup is the worst. Bullying. Three-panel of bullying behaviors, starting from top and going counter-clockwise. First panel is a tomato person flipping off at mustard flower and egg eating their hotdogs with ketchup, saying, "Anyone who likes ketchup is an idiot!" Next panel is soybean getting pantsed by two tomato bullies, one takes picture of his three-peas crotch. Next panel is a mustard flower looking at the note with crude drawing of the mustard flower with a bunch of insulting words written on it. Bigotry. Few tomato protesting in front of Ketchup Craft, one holding "Ketchup lovers are dangerous" and yelling out loud, "Keep our society safe!" Oppression. Tomato grabs petition paper off of egg's clipboard and says, "No one should be allowed to have ketchup!"
