i think my hottest take rn is that rina sawayama not getting her new album is probably more due too her second album flopping commercially and critically than like , racism from the label

[wyrmwould-star]

Y'all I've been trying to draw more diverse people, because most of the random doodles i make that happen to be people are white, and I'm trying to draw an asian person, but they just end up looking white. Is this a result of my style, or am I missing something?

For reference, here's a woman I just drew earlier today. I don't draw eyes as much as possible, and it's in grayscale because pencil. The reason I'm only doing the busts is because culture, and thus often ethnicity, can be seen in clothing.

The goal is that I would theoretically be able to colour them in with, for example, an obnoxious green and you would still be able to tell their [insert target ethnicity] coded, which I definitely achieved with this woman.

Compare to what was meant to be an Asian woman, but ended up just looking like a karen.

You can tell I've erased a lot, but there's just something off that I'm sure I can do. The lips are weird and the hair is off. I think the face shape is good though.

Help?

[rosethreeart]

im gonna be honest but your response to being told that your china's features dont look very asian is kind of wild, especially considering op was an asian person. Like, the fact a non-asian creator received criticism by an affected minority and basically told them that they were wrong about how their own ethnic background looks is kind of insane?? Especially when like, they offered advice on how to make it look more accurate. I know that your intentions likely weren't to do that and you were just being defensive because,,,, who isn't when accused of racism, (like i feel you) but I think you need to realise that there's nothing that screams "I don't care what minorities think" more than... effectively telling a POC you know what their people look like more than they do. Really, all it took was being open to criticism, and being willing to play around with his features to see if they could be adjusted (hm,,, maybe make the eyes less centred so they dont look so heavy set, go a little easier on those very obvious eyelids, etc) to look more asian instead of the artistic version of skull measuring (/J) lolol. Anyways thats just my two cents

I might sound a bit incoherent or blunt but I just have a migraine and this day has NOT been good /gen

As I stated before I 100% understand where people were coming from in regards to it and that I don't take the issue of whitewashing/making things eurocentric lightly and that I do take care to make characters look like the ethnicities they belong to.

Sometimes things look wonky! Shit happens!!

Quite frankly I was being defensive but to go ahead and once again assume ill intent and that that defense was some "I know better than you" rhetoric is exactly why I was defensive in the first place.

someone pointed an issue out, I said that I have that noted for future reference and that this was very clearly a one off issue, and that Im also showing that the sketch was poorly positioned but the lower nose bridge is still present and that bad faith and bad intentions should not always be assumed. Honestly this should have really just been a one and done move on situation especially for a sketch I did in less than five minutes.

I'm also just extremely 3-Dimensional in the way in which I think when it comes to the art process which is why I included the drawings not because of some weird "skull measuring" thing (which wouldn't even have made sense in the context anyways and honestly wild to even accuse someone of doing). I just could not word it without writing out an essay or some incomprehensible word vomit. I was just using a tactic commonly found in animation where you use "onion skins" to find the next breakdown/inbetween in the sequence to help show how he would have looked like from a front facing perspective with a neutral facial expression.

I'm not saying that I don't care or that I know more than them, and that is actually pretty close to the opposite of what I said verbatim!

I just felt the need to note that the features I showed are valid features and that simply reducing all people of east asain decent into having the same exact face (or just nose) shape is weird especially considering how much diversity there is. There are a wide variety of features in China and to go ahead and say that only ONE of them is valid and should be depicted is something that SHOULD receive push back not matter any previous context, which is what I was pointing out in the first place.

[naughtynoodle056]

oh wtf did they mean by that like .. your characters are obviously Black - you could post just the lineart and it'd be obvious??

okay first of all I LAUGHED when I read this ask because I literally feel the exact same way, but allow me to take you and the rest of my followers on this journey that has made me decide I'm a villain now. Buckle up, this post will be lengthy xD.

Person (not artist) confused my OC Shay (the girl right next to Leo) for my OC Xander (the boy on the far left). I got really frustrated because I chose Shay to sit next to Leo in this piece SPECIFICALLY to drive home the contrast in weight and that even though Shay is in a baggyish hoodie, you can still tell she's slim compared to Leo.

I asked if I was just going crazy or if these people mixing them up werre either 1) visually impaired somehow or looked at this for 0.2 seconds because these are obviously not the same person?? an IRL said that Xander and Shay looked too similarly because of their hair and body type and SKIN TONE and I was like. First of all, 2000s emo kids often had similar hair, that's kind of the fucking point here. Second of all, Shay is obviously shorter and skinny and Xander is CLEARLY on the chubbier sie, so what the fuck are you yapping about? and FInally. SKIN COLOR??? SKIN COLOR??????

Here is this same exact piece but with the lighting effects turned off. Just loud and wrong as fuck

So aforementioned artist offers their constructive criticism that was this

and like no offense but the longer I thought about it the more pissed off I got because first of all,

I LITERALLY DO????? and second of all and the reason I'm evil now is that they don't. RECENTLY they actually drew a black person, but it was still a frustratingly ambiguously black person.

Like what does this even mean bro my art style is like ALL SHAPES?? Like I'm really glad you said what you said in this ask because you're so right, you CAN tell my characters are black or otherwise POC just by the lineart. You cannot do that with the artist that gave that criticism. and then they doubled down when people called them out on how wack of a criticism it was and that they were wrong. I won't be naming them by name publicly because like I said before, I will look like the smaller bitter artist that can't take criticism from this BIG POPULAR WELL MEANING artist, but it felt like they were throwing stones from a glass house at a BRICK ONE.

I was also told my art "has a lot of potential" which is the polite way of saying "your art is mid", generally speaking lmaO.

At the end of the day, it felt like they were making huge sweeping judgements of my art and offering criticsm that was like?? unwarranted and felt more like them outting themselves as never giving my art more than just a passing glance because I dont draw 800+lb fatties constantly. Which is fine, you don't have to look at my art. But don't fucking give me criticism that not only doesn't apply to me, but you don't even follow yourself. Its kind of like if an abled bodied artist who NEVER draws anyone with visible disabilities told a visibly disabled artist that DOES draw a myriad of disabled folks in a loving way that they aren't doing enough and then doubling down with "All criticism is fair critism".

I don't think I'm the best artist in the world or in this kink community, but I know one thing for sure. I'm one of the most consistent at drawing black people in a way that's obvious and with lots of love, so don't you EVER fucking imply I don't do enough while your black people just look like color pallete swaps. Don't come for me on that regard if you have never drawn afro textured hair. And no, I WON'T just roll over and accept that "most feedists favor white or pale eastern asain people". I'd rather die a niche artist who actually gives a shit about representation than to just grovel to people that would not respect me because of my race.

Five issues after Denny O'Neil kills off Black Canary's husband, he has Green Arrow start propositioning her. Am I the only one who finds this weird? Larry Lance hadn't even been dead a full year, and you're making Dinah move on? Did Green Arrow have no tact!? Did Dinah not grieve!? What is wrong with Denny O'Neil, and how did DC let these two remain a couple for 20+ years!? They're built on a bad base, and Black Canary always should've stayed with the Justice Society! That's my opinion. She had no reason to join the JLA. But oh no, Wonder Woman left to be a martial artist with a blind asain man, and Denny O'Neil didn't want to keep her in the JLA. But if you wanted a woman, Hawkgirl was right fucking there! Right there! I'm sorry for swearing, but Jesus Christ. Denny O'Neil is an idiot. Complete fucking idiot.

[woomycritiques543]

Viv also made two “black women” angels light freaken’ gray. No brown! They’re angels that are meant to look humanoid- So there’s no excuse! This is just colorism! It’s like Vivziepop wanted brownie points for “including” black characters without including our skin, our culture, or anything that’s “black” besides just “calling” someone black or sometimes making us darker. People said Vivziepop was “right” for saying ZiZi was whitewashing (and she is, but that’s besides the point.), but then she whitewashes over half her poc characters as light grey while making one purple, a common censorship of black skin, on top of all the humanoid “black” characters being light grey while the other humanoid characters in Hazbin Hotel are literal white people. No 🍑, no 🫒, but literal white skin. As white as she can make them.

The ocs from other Hazbin/Helluva artists that are black for the show being:

“Coco” (literally Named after her skin color 💀) “Milky”, and *internally cringes*- “RAT!” are brown or dark reddish brown, and most are demons- so Vivziepop 100% has no excuse for how colorist and “white savior” (Charlie, a literal white woman with blonde hair trying to “save” a majority poc cast of a “evil voodoo” black man who is a cannibal, a walking gay stereotype (not poc but still an example of how many stereotypes there truly is.), and an asain who’s obsessed with being clean and who’s story taking place in the 50s (when not all women from back then were like that, women werent originally “boy toys” so what is this logic even for?) as an excuse to make her “boy crazy and genki!”) that Hazbin Hotel’s execution is. All the black characters are depicted as whitewashed, have straight hair, or a cliche afro, are given demeaning names, are “sexual deviants who molest people”, or are “cannibals”. While M/M in Hazbin and HB are almost always stereotyped as “predatory creeps” who have only relationships where they sexually take advantage of the other partner or also molest random people. The only people given mostly healthy relationships are men who are with women. (Stella and Stolas only being a thing as an excuse to overshadow Stolas’s abuse of Blitz (before you assume anything, please read the other posts where ive mentioned this.)

People giving the excuse of “They’re in hell! They’re supposed to be evil!” to deliberately ignore said issues so these stereotypes can continue to appear for their own benefit. When the problem isn’t that these are demons who are bad people in a cartoon about Hell- The problem is that the show’s location is being used as an excuse to depict those minorities as stereotypes specific to them (EX: A black person being depicted as a “cannibal”) rather than to mainly show them as anything else that’s considered as “evil.” It’s just being used as an excuse to show them as such stereotypes, further enabling people who discriminate us- Which is why you see so many racists and homophobes defending the show: It enables the very stereotypes that they themselves created to discriminate against our communities/minorities.

Again- Vivienne has so much potential. But instead of growing as a person or a creator, she has her parasocial fandom keep enabling her behavior/her biases while not being willing to grow, let alone listen to the other parts of her audience (unless to virtue signal to make us look bad) since she’d rather look “good” or “perfect” to her fans or to enable her own ignorance to laugh at other minorities or body shapes regardless is it harms other people’s representation or not. Velvette only being a piece of the millions of problems with this  franchise that Vivziepop refuses to fix.

All that potential… out the window.

The way Velvette is portrayed in Hazbin Hotel doesn't sit well with me.

To preface I am a fan of Hazbin Hotel and am looking forward to the show so-so. I want to clarify I mean no hate to Viv and her team, she has a creative mind even though her design choices are sometimes lacking to me. But this has been on my mind for a while especially as a poc.

Velvette has been a character ive enjoyed for the the longest time since her debut in the pilot. Even though her quick appearance she drew my attention for an unknow reason but she's just ah I love her. When I found out she was a poc and was into alternative fashion it drew me more to her as growing up I couldn't express myself in such clothes as it didn't suite my skin tone enough. Was never white enough or coloured enough (thats my race). I told my sister how I liked Velvette and she said she doesn't because of how she looks and it made me think. Velvette in all my relating to her lacks the representation I hoped she'd give others like she did me but she doesn't. Viv as much as I like her designs, underdesigned Velvette. She lacks poc features, what I mean by this is her skin tone mostly. I know she's a demon but I've see so many dark skinned monsters, demons, creatures that far surpasses Velvette. Her skin tone is this light brown- grey colour dispite being a black woman in her pitch bible (yes I saw it and I know lighter skinned black people exist but even so Velvette is so racially ambiguous point blank like many of Vivziepop's po characters and plus, her skin tone isn't even really a skin tone, its giving anime "dark/brown skin tones"), its lackluster actually and I wished it were different because I'm sure Viv has black/dark skinned design members on her team but no input from them was added to Velvette's design. Viv I understand is a poc but she is like me a lighter skinned poc, I myself have a difficult time drawing darker skinned characters and I know how Viv doesn't leave her comfort zone of character traits so it leaked into Velvette being such an under respresentation to black people/ dark skinned people. Her hair is also my end, Viv in all my years of following her has never experimented with poc hair textures/styles. It took so much more away from Velvette as a black woman with the hair style/texture she has now (I know black woman or woc can have straight hair but due to the embrace of more natural hair textures it would've been beautiful to see Velvette with a more natural hair texture). AGAIN Viv should've reached out to other designers for their input on her but no, its Viv's "character" (even though she doesn't technically own it anymore) and nobody can make such changes as its not in her vision/comfort zone.

Another thing I want to add is Viv's problem infantailising certain characters. I've seen it with Angel Dust, Niffty, Stolas and now Velvette and its not sitting well with me.

According to Velvette's pitch bible she is a 30 year old black woman, a *grown adult* who is also in the adult industry, cool.

This is a post by one of Vivziepop's staff members Sam, who also happens to be one of Vivziepop's closest friends too. They made a post comparing Velvette's to a certain character dynamic:

What the hell were they thinking. VELVETTE IS A 30 YEAR OLD BLACK WOMAN WHO WORKS IN THE PORN INDUSTRY AND YOU ARE COMPARING HER TO A PARENT/CHILD DYNAMIC!

TW:

She is involved in the adult industry along with Vox and Val. Valentino is shown to be a misogynistic man who is abusive, a rápist and much more, Vox similar. Velvette being involved with them isn't my issue, she's not a good person ha hell she probably condones their actions as she's an antagonist like them. The problem is I've seen Viv doesn't know the difference between a childish adult character and an adult character who is treated like a child and extention encouraged to be treated like one. Velvette has a childish fun personality thats all, that gives no reason to why she is treated like Vox and Valentino's child, SHE'S 30!

Fans and critics have pointed out how they keep seeing this problem how Viv portrays her characters. It creates a breeding ground for the fetishsization of these characters in a disgusting way. The amout of art I've seen depicting Velvette as their child is disturbing and TW: the amount of lòli art I have seen of her on unsavoury websites is just... I cannot. Just because of her personality she is being treated and seen as a child. I will not go into how woman of colour when reaching a certain age of development are not seen as children anymore even when they still are (we'll be here all day, its boils my blood I hate) but what Viv is doing is not right either.

In conclusion (since I lost my 1st draft aaah not typing that long again). Velvette is a good example to me of a poc character with lost potential. Viv had the power and choice to allow other poc creatives to give their input on her but simply didn't. She holds on to these characters so dearly and I understand she doesn't want to loose them, they are like her children. But they aren't anymore, she needed to let them be changed into their best version but alas no. Viv whether she likes it or not is in the mainstream now thanks to partnering with A24.

The audience has changed, we want to see better representation in media: various skin tones, sexualities, different body types, hair textures, even disabilities. Viv as a bisexual woc had the opportunity to give us so much more but didn't even knowing thats what audiences seek, like Velvette for example that's what I seeked and thought I saw but my rose tinted glasses got taken off by my sister and I saw what I saw wasn't all that.

You have the capabilities Viv, you have the resources, you have everything layed out in front of you to give us this why did you not, the boundaries were not pushed. Brake from your comfort zone, seek others inputs and criticism because if you go on like this you may fail. I've followed you for the longest time but not many times have you experimented with different body types, various skin tones and hair textures... no comment. I'll still support Viv's work and decide if I'll still be invested in it after Hazbin drops but I'm cautiously optimistic right now. Only wishing more grown for Viv, peace.

Sanjana played by from Main Hoon Na, one of my fave Bollywood films! She’s a very stylish character from the early 2000’s!

Also, why did I draw her as if she were a character from a PS2 anime game? 😂💕
