Hello new followers, my name's Sen and I make comics! If you want to check out Dark Science, my queer cyberpunk series that's sort of "Metropolis + Ghost in the Shell + Discworld", you can read the whole thing here! dresdencodak.com/2010/06/03/d...

I completely forgot that ages ago I sketched the Dark Science cast in a Shirow Masamune style.
It's funny that this would have been right before I introduced Ling, who's the most Shirow-ass character I've ever designed

I don't remember what prompted me to draw Kim and Xiaoling dressed as Morrigan and Lilith from Darkstalkers, but I stand by it.

I think this is one of my favorite panels I've painted in quite a while.

Very true, come to think of it!

A friend was asking me about my favorite drawing of Kim and Ling, and while I don't think I can pick just one, this is probably my favorite little moment with them so far, back in Dark Science #160 dresdencodak.com/2025/02/10/d...

You'll know I've been replaced by a pod person if you ever see call a comic on the internet a "webtoon."

Clockwork Empire did go viral so it was probably inevitable that losers would find it too. I think what really rubbed them the wrong way was that I cast Link as a damsel.

In 2013 people sent me death threats because I made a pitch for a Zelda game where Zelda is the protagonist.

20-year-old me would definitely be blown away by my success in comics but probably more blown away that I'm a lesbian.
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

My favorite thing about this look is that the armor was intended for someone much bigger (Azra-El was massive), so Kim looks kinda silly and cute because she's so teeny.

My comic art has a reputation for having a lot of detail, but I think it just comes off that way because my pages are big. I'm frequently very loose and gestural!

I love old sword & sorcery art, so the rare instance I get to paint the Giantslayer is always a treat. Just a massive lesbian with the sword the size of a man

Tbh they could make THE most revolutionary games imaginable, that’s NOT the beef. The point people on the right miss is it’s not just about performing the right kind of fiction, but who, in the REAL world is materially benefitting from these products. And in this case, I think I’ll pass.
EA belongs partially to the Saudi Public Investment Fund. The company tells employees its new "partners" won't make creative decisions, but queer BioWare, Apex Legends, and Sims fans aren't convinced. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-saudi-arabia-acquisition-lgbtqia-mass-effect-sims-2000735185

If I've learned anything from Shirow, it's that you should never hide what you're a weird little freak about. If you stop making your comics for you, they stop being good.
