Trans/GNC artists, how do your identity, experiences and world view impact your art?
I am genderfluid (I can be most genders except a woman) and I like to draw characters without visual distinctions between gender. I draw a lot of flat chested women, men with soft faces, and characters who just look completely androgynous without deciding their gender as I draw them. The body types of all genders I draw are about the same.
When I do draw a character who leans masc or fem more strongly, they're actually supposed to be agender or something. I like expressing my experience with gender (generally ambiguous) through my art.Jul 22, 2021

I’m Non-binary, & tend to draw my monster characters with all sorts of features that aren’t stuck in the gender binary. Most of my characters have visible eyelashes including my male characters (because who wouldn’t have eyelashes?) & many of my monster ladies have beards & goatees! Any type of clothing is fair game since clothes aren’t your gender, but can help you express it!
Basically, I don’t limit my designs & creativity because of society’s silly standards!

Being NB I get gender envy a lot and that can often times show itself in how I draw a character. Either be it thicc characters or lanky, some of my characters can usually depict how I wish I looked in that moment in time

It totally influences my art, even before I was really “aware” of my gender identity. Most of the characters I draw are androgynous (at least to me), and I draw/like characters like this so much that my friends have pointed it out too. The oc I used to represent myself has also changed as my gender identity has even though, once again I wasn’t consciously aware of it at the time. It went from a girl, then a guy, then a more androgynous guy, etc.

In the past, whenever I would struggle with my gender identity, I would create a character (usually a fursona of some sort) and make them whatever gender I felt like matched myself best at the time. For example, Alex (one of my first "fursonas") is agender, since at the time I created them I was questioning whether I may have been agender.
Also, I do tend to draw a lot of androgynous characters, as well as masculine females.

I don’t know if it shows in my art even a little bit, but I typically don’t decide the gender as I’m drawing.
