[julieemarine]

Hey, today I'll introduce Lanzhu Zhong's friends! This one, this one, and then... you, the one watching right now! (It's me!) Everyone watching right now♪

She’s Afro-Chinese-Japanese in this.

"Interest Convergence", I haven't heard that term before, will have to look into that a little deeper, but the idea of this terminology is correct, which makes me think of integration. Integration, we fought for it with our, blood, sweat, and tears, but it ultimately benefitted White people the most, whereas segregation took us down a road of prosperity, independence, and unity, which is why White people are arguing against Donald Trump's anti-POC actions, because they know how deeply it will affect them and their businesses. Just imagine if Trump was to invoke all-out segregation laws, then imagine how many "Black Wall Streets" would pop up, in every major city and beyond, and imagine how many White businesses would either struggle or be forced out of business due to the absence of the "Black & Latino dollar". Segregation laws would effectively be a self inflicted boycott of White businesses, and one thing White people desperately fear is someone messing with their money. Let's consider segregation more deeply, the revival of this concept for this day and age is very interesting and inviting to us, so much so that White people are ready to protest Trump's policies, and they have even as far to tell Black people to stay home on April 5th, because they got this one. Stay tuned in people, this is going to be quite interesting.

The black edit that started it all. You can really tell it’s old by how Aoi’s hair is in a protective style and Ran’s is down instead of the other way around.

Akari, Sumire, and Hinaki

Yume, Laura, Koharu, Mahiru, and Ako

Aine and Mio

I was practicing headwraps for FCAU April and I wanna share this doodle I made

Also here are some of the wraps I learned, they're not the best ik I'm trying--

I'll most likely use a different reference but hands-on learning helps me figure out how to draw April doing it too cuz duh how else am I gonna figure it out?

The Loathful Lauren person (who I won't actually name, just in case, she has fans 😬) making a whitewashed version of April O'Neil from TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, which made her some generic white lady with brown hair and in yellow, instead of the unique design in the movie...

Made fanart of humanized Pinkie Pie where she's black?

They have black OCs that aren't ashy??

They have drawn black features in general???

Oh, so that piece of shit can draw black characters when it's convenient. Fuck off.

[beetleviolet]

Feedback on what hair type to give one of my characters???

I've been drawing her with these vague curls, but then I realized these loose curls are what I'd draw for a white character, and might not be right for her (tell me if I'm wrong I know next to nothing about hair 😭)

I checked out a couple articles and this lil tutorial. So uhh heres what I have so far

If you can't tell I was having some fun. I think what i wrote as 4b might actually by a 3c? I love the idea of braids with beads, but I also don't like the idea of drawing a bunch of braids with beads ON EVERY PANAL. I kind of like the (googling it) cornrows! Fun name! I wish all hair styles were named after foods. Like ballerina buns could be called donuts.

So uh... if anyone sees this lemme know what might be fun or if anything here is wildly incorrect :)

[ID from Alt Text: Digital drawing of ROTTMNT April. To the left is a flat color drawing of April sitting and eating an apple looking forward. Apple blossoms are drawn around her in pink. On the right, under typography of the name "O'Neil," is a half-body rendered drawing of April holding an apple wearing a sleeveless green hoodie with a 5 on the front and an intersex and transgender button, white arm-warmers, butterfly chain belt, Vocaloid style 05 tattoo on her right arm, star earrings, moon choker, loc bangs, and multicolored star clips in her afro puffs. There are 4 other apples drawing in a vertical line on top of hers, each with a different sticker color. April's being green, then a red one, then purple, blue, and finally orange at the top. She has a dialogue bubble next to her that says the Japanese "Ou!" interject in the casual greeting context. In the corner is a turtle version of April winking and holding an apple still. She has green skin with darker green stripes, a yellow mask, and a maroon beanie with two puffs. Image two is a close up of the righthand April without a cold-ish filter. /End ID]
