Disabled/chronically ill/neurodiverse/mentally ill ARTISTS!

I'm looking to compile an online document of you all so that when job openings for #ttrpg art come around at companies/publishers, I have a comprehensive list of folks to pass around to my contacts.

Reply with info! 💜

Once I've compiled the document, I'll also share it here on twitter so any smaller/independent companies can find some artists looking for work!

IMPORTANT:
You don't need to disclose your disability or illness to submit your work. If you identify with any of the illnesses/disabilities (visible and invisible) listed above, you are more than welcome to submit art!

ALSO:
Don't worry if your style isn't what 'typically'-

appears in ttrpg books! Companies are always looking for different styles for different projects!

Darth Maul & Disabled Villains

A thread:

I get asked a lot about #ttrpg #dnd villains and disability. In popular media, you often find villains who are disabled because disfigurement and "body horror" are staples that usually connote 'bad' or 'evil'. 1/23

The horror genre is built on fear of the 'other'. We are expected to fear things that are different from ourselves - therefore able bodied people have fear of the disabled. Villains in stories and media are made to be feared. We as an audience are expected to fear them as- 2/

much as the heroes of the story, if not more so. With media being dominated by white, cisgender, able bodied folks, it's unsurprising then that disability is an aspect frequently shown through villainy. The problem lies in disability being used as a driving force for the- 3/

CW: Ableism
Tolkien, Orcs, and Ableism
Since the recent orc discourse, I was hesitant to speak about it from a disability point of view, but I believe that I should because it's important. The term Tolkien used in describing his orcs as "Mongol-types", as "mongoloids" 1/23

carries not only a history of colonialist racist stereotypes, but ableism too. In the UK, up to the 1980s, the term 'mongoloid' was used to refer to or describe Down Syndrome as well. Why was this? Well, the facial features associated with Down Syndrome were described as 2/23

being/likened to the facial features of Mongolians by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. In 1908, the term was cemented in the medical field by the publishing of 'Mongolism and its Pathology' by W. Bertram Hill and, as mentioned, stayed in common use up to the 1980s. 3/23
