I've had people who can't afford to support monetarily be the reason paying clients find me just through word of mouth alone. My next customer might not see my post, but they might see your repost of my work or comms.

![two different drawings of kondraki, at different stages of her life. she's an afro-arab woman with medium brown skin, curly and textured hair, and a beard. she has green glasses. her first, her pre-transition self, wears a black shirt. she crosses her arms. she has eye bags and she looks upset. her second, her post transition self, wears a dark grey shirt and green flannel. she smiles happily as she gives a dorky thumbs-up to the viewer. her smile reaches her eyes.
the text labeling each drawing is in white blocks with black borders. the text labeling the drawings as pre or post transition kondraki are the trans colors.
pre transition self: physical differences: denser hair because she isn't taking care of it [shampoo + improper brushing]. eyes are the same color.
mental differences: the kondraki most people know and don't really love. a dedication to her work hides how miserable she actually is. her coworkers have increasingly complicated opinions on her. Horribly irony poisoned and sleep deprived. Get her some milk.
post-transition self:
mental difference: she's still kinda cocky and a bit of an ass. but it's significantly more balanced out since she doesn't hate everything about herself. she still irritates people, but more people are comfortable telling her this.
physical differences: looser hair because she's actually taking care of herself. [still thick + textured] heterochromia + severe early greying from the tree estrogen [im serious.] shes also fatter fuck yes.
between the two drawings, is the text "conclusion: there is still time."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plkzp7rdjk4msirpfpkwghho/bafkreigm7bkz444b3rpfjnqnrej43r5tbarr46v2lch7xetgabgu6wwise)
![dialogue between kondraki and another person as kondraki cooks something.
other person: hey can we maybe make some burgers for dinner-
kondraki: moomin says we're having ramen.
other person: yeah but they're not the boss of you
kondraki: [big text] moomin says we're having ramen and that's final.
kondraki: [all caps, big text] okay damn](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plkzp7rdjk4msirpfpkwghho/bafkreifknwneg7rafz7lcmg7nkj5g64ixlzvp6mcc4ltgbkm4nfznnj3a4)
![a digital drawing on graph paper. the scene described is as follows:
Alto Clef holds his hands to his chest, looking upset and confused. he says "What the fuck is a sybau"; noticeably, he is unintentionally mimicking the original 'sybau' image.
Doctor Amulet while raising a hand, says "So Young and Beautiful! or Stay Young and beautiful!" raising it down, they follow it up with "or uhm. "shut your bitch ass up." which is probably what Static means considering how kondraki is."
[there is a small doodle in between these drawings and the next of clef thanking amulet.]
kondraki looks to her side. she says "Oh that's what it means? I say that normally. day to day basis. I don't need to be some annoying teenybopper to be saying shit like that." she then shrugs her shoulders, looking humored, saying "but ppft. Sadly it's a little late for me in the "young and beautiful" departments!!" in small, hard to read text, "never really fit into that latter one, anyway. never will."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plkzp7rdjk4msirpfpkwghho/bafkreie33qav2jidipst3d6zdqbhlrcbbo6qnvztlh4hoso46x5ji7zuhy)
![Two-panel comic of Kondraki [as previously described] and Alto Clef. Clef is a fat person with a beard, glasses, and curly hair. He has a cleft lip.
first panel is kondraki looking down at a box with a dead beetle whcih she's holding. she says: "Despartun, the male stag beetle. -I found him eating yoghurt out of desperation during the famine. -no female beetles I own like him, nor does he like them either. -Fed him a plum, he fell in love with it. -Mates with the plum and he fucking dies... Okay."
second panel is Clef on his knees, clutching the counter and his chest and wheezing. he says "dude i'm actually in tears because oomf's beetle had sex with a plum AND FUCKING DIED". behind him is kondraki looking over her shoulder, saying "I am fully your coworker?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plkzp7rdjk4msirpfpkwghho/bafkreihbzsghn62qnlpcwdrihe4t7xzsd4ceyyeiw6irv56hliq3mxuexu)
![shedletsky laying down, smiling and looking to the side. one arm is supporting him and the other is on his knee. he's saying "alone on a friday night??? me too baby, let's get a bite to eat [heart] art by archivist the knight btw love you pookie [heart]" the background is a bright, heavily pixelated image.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plkzp7rdjk4msirpfpkwghho/bafkreiftdeohr6awvs3dxo27cgd7j3pupfke6f2bkzt2hwfe4umgda7wx4)
![[id: art of jay ferin. she has curly hair, freckles, facial and body hair, and in her early riptide outfit.
the first drawing of her is her eating an orange, shirt stained with various sweat and juice stains. the juice of the orange is dripping from her hand and mouth. mid bite, she's talking to someone, using her other hand for gesturing as she speaks.
The second drawing is her in her jacket, with a much cleaner white shirt. she looks annoyed, as she looks down at someone, gesturing with one hand as she speaks with the other on her hip. end id]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plkzp7rdjk4msirpfpkwghho/bafkreibbcf46p27n44hy6sowd6uskih7rtphsxgr5axwxdd4c2xgxtmzga)
