Art positions needed for intersex visual guide!
[PT: Art positions needed for intersex visual guide!]
Note: This is not a paid position. This is a project made with passion from participants who want to educate the world about intersexuality.
Hello! So, our intersex visual guide project is going well so far. The script is mostly complete (with occasional revisions), and we know how we want the comic to be formatted.
We did the sketches for the genitals/reproductive organ diagrams, and @/pastelroswell is doing the lineart. However, there are many illustrations that still need to be done, and this is where you can come in!
Whether you volunteer for just a single drawing, or for many drawings, all help is appreciated! People under 18 can only volunteer for segment 9, as all the other segments require illustrations of nudity.
We need volunteers for:
[FULLY BOOKED] Segment 1: What is perisex? Humans vs non-humans. (A random example of a necessary drawing for this segment would be a person looking at a censored computer screen with a question mark above their head.) [FULLY BOOKED] Segment 2: Overarching Terms & Information. (A random example of a necessary drawing for this segment would be a group of cosexual animals.) Segment 3: "Mixed" Genitals & Reproductive Organs. Segment 4: Urethral Traits & Penile Traits. Segment 5: Agenital Spectrum & Areproductive Spectrum. Segment 6: Split/Duplicated Reproductive Organs. ^ You won't be drawing the genital/reproductive diagrams, as those are already covered by us & Roswell. Instead, you'll be drawing group of people who have specific traits that we will list for you (ie; a person who has a bifid scrotum with estrogenized traits, and a speech bubble that has XX and a drawing of a mullerian reproductive system.) Segment 7: Hormonal Traits. Segment 8: Chromosomal Variations. (A random example of a necessary drawing for these segments would be a person with dwarfism who has a macropenis, macroorchidism, androgenized traits, and a speech bubble that has XY and a drawing of a wolffian reproductive system.) Segment 9: Co-occurring Traits & Disabilities. (A random example of necessary drawings for these segments would be a person who has severe acne, a person having a seizure, a person exhibiting the symptoms of autism, etc.) [FULLY BOOKED] Segment 10: Coercive Intersex Medical Interventions & Medical Maltreatment. Specifically, you'd be doing the hormone abuse section and/or medical maltreatment section. These drawings are more sensitive in nature, but censored enough as to not be overly disturbing to viewers. (A random example of a necessary drawing for these segments would be a person looking sickly while in the fetal position on a couch, and a bottle of hormones sits next to them, implying that the hormones are causing them to become ill.)
You must be willing to:
1- Draw non-sexual nudity. 2- Draw racially diverse and disabled characters. 3- Have your work shared with the world.
Your work could be:
1- A simple sketch (yes, traditional sketches are welcome too!) that you provide for someone else to do lineart + coloring for. 2- A drawing with lineart that you provide for someone else to do coloring for. 3- A drawing with lineart and coloring.
DO NOT SIGN UP IF you are an exclusionist, radfem, believe that men cannot experience oppression, are anti-endogenic, believe in a disorder being "inherently evil (ie; narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, paraphilic disorders [yes even the "big 3"], psychotic disorders, etc.), use ableist language (ie; misuse "narcissist", misuse "psychotic", misuse "sociopath/psychopath", misuse OCD, misuse bipolar, conflate "paraphile" with predator, etc.), think that love/sympathy/empathy are necessary to be a good person, disrespect religion/spiritual practices, pro-Israel, support Trump/Elon Musk/JK Rowling, anti-choice, or anti-homeless.
DM us if you are interested and PLEASE disclose if you have had any controversies in the past, and what the topic was about. We will be checking over your account before accepting you in.
You will receive credit for your work in the overall project.
Alright, the update! There are still over 100 art slots available. (And a few opened up again in segments 1 & 2.)
We decided people under 18 can participate, they just cannot draw any of the prompts that include nudity. But there are many prompts in segment 9 that do not include nudity!
Speaking of segment 9 - we have a ton of prompts in there that are a simple icon-style! Sort of like this image (which is randomly taken off the internet, not an actual part of the project.)
[ID: A black and white graphic showing common symptoms of bipolar disorder, each accompanied by a simple black and white drawing: "Mood swings (mania and depression)", showing someone excitedly throwing their hands into the air and shouting, then crumpled in on themselves in depression. "Poor decision making", showing a person walking past a sign that says right and wrong, and going the wrong way. "Abnormally talkative", showing someone excitedly throwing their hands into the air with multiple speech bubbles while someone leans away uncomfortably. "Increased activity or energy", showing someone sprinting with a flag. "Racing thoughts" shows someone hunched with arms crossed, with multiple squiggly arrows going away from their head. "Decreased need for sleep", showing someone getting out of bed and waking up a confused partner. "Exaggerated self confidence", showing someone stepping up onto a pedestal while pointing at themselves, despite their sad frown. "Psychosis", showing someone holding their head, which is surrounded by swirly rings. "Loss of interest" showing someone sitting with a bored pose next to a bike, camera, and guitar. End ID.]
You do not need to be an expert artist to participate! You also do not need to be educated in intersexuality beforehand!

We have decided to move the due date to October 26th (intersex awareness day), rather than pride month, as it's become unrealistic to expect it to be done by pride.
We refuse to go another year without this project being done. If you know anyone who might enjoy participation, please share this post with them! You can also reblog on bluesky [link.]
Please, check out the available prompts on this google doc [link], and comment or DM if any of them interest you!
