I am so happy to have finished this artwork in time for Pride Month. This is a true story I'm about to tell, and it means a lot to me to be able to tell it. The celestial dragon girl you see above, who came from a monster girl ShindanMaker, actually helped a real-life friend of mine realize she was transgender.

Even before she had started questioning her gender, she and I had always joked that she wasn't very masculine, so I sent her the monster girl ShindanMaker for a good laugh.

"[name removed] is an impulsive dragon girl who is rather short for their species. They have long, messy blonde hair and purple eyes. Their bust is a hand-filling above average size for their figure. Their first encounter was with a ranger who received a scar from them. They were sighted near a quiet lake as a silver rank monster."

"I should become a woman," she said upon seeing this result. "Clearly I'd be a good one." Because of this and several other things, she started to realize that there was more truth behind those jokes than she had previously thought. Some time afterward, she came out to me as a trans woman. I was (and still am) really proud to know that I had assisted in the process, and I'm really happy that she's finally found a place to be comfortable with herself.

Happy Pride Month, girl. You're beautiful.
