sorry but i refuse to feel bad for people who are insecure about how pale they are
#louise.ndn#sorry i’m making a zine about my like. skin tone dysmorphia? and trying to find other people online who feel the same thing#and i keep finding white girls who are like ‘ohhh i’m so embarrassed about how pale i am :((((‘#cry me a FUCKIN river sorry#anyway my skin tone dysmorphia thing is that i literally CANNOT tell how light or dark my skin is because i grew up around white girls#so among them i was the darkest one but i also really wanted to be perceived like a white girl so my brain just. stopped processing#my own skin color#so i truly thought i was white passing in middle school#i was hanging out with another native girl and i told her that and she was like ‘oh honey no’#every time one of my friends references me being brown i have to go stare at myself in a mirror for a few minutes

never change, man !
#phantom of the paradise#potp#swan potp#nightmaretheater#65 layers and about 24 hours . Eeeyyuppp#Look into my beautiful mind boy#Its a bit unusual to what i usually draw#but i had to push a specific look for this piece#hopefully you all are picking up on the corperate look . the advertisment look#Sneeze. Anyways my point is industry destroys creative people. This includes swan#I feel like phrases like these ; how he was put on a pedistal…. it lead him to be Like That#as awful as he is he desperately needed help#it might seem like vanity on the surface#but i think its… more than that#long story short: we need to destroy the beauty industry. the skincare industry. the anti-aging industry#It ruined his psyche forever and he cant let go of the ideal version of himself he will never truly be again#i dont think he can at this point. hes in too deep and hes suffering for it no matter how much he feels hes fixed his problems#he cant accept a version of himself that isnt that perfect young man. because he never confronted his problems. he just ran away#anyways . Hi swath *punches him**kicks him*#i dont care if nobody gets me lalalalla my truths and headcanons are awesome forever and i live in my own reality lallaallal#sorry i think im gonna be posting about swan alot for a few months hes making me sick#i wass gonna post this earlier but my internet was real bad#*lays down in my pile of pillows* eat up boys. haha#sidenote: drawing white blond people is horrifiying. Boy your skin and hair are the same color. Introduce some contrast to yourself. Please#adding on: its inportant to note this focuses on him looking st himself in the mirror alot on purpouse#to remind himself what he ‘’’’really’’’’ looks like#the 4 middle pannels all represent that too . u have to be in my brain ri get this#sorry for unleashijg another swan essay in my tags. will happen again lol

QSMP February drawing of the day
Day 2: Q!BBH updated design/concept art
An agent of destruction and a reaper of death
#qsmp#qsmp badboyhalo#badboyhalo#qsmp fanart#qsmp art#q bbh#as much as i love drawing qbad in fancy dresses i gotta admit it must be a little impractical to wear daily#so i designed my rendition of his usual attire with some of my own twists!#the first two are qbad's cloak that he mostly uses to hide his features and sort of remain in the shadows- the blue and red are sort#of remincient of the colors on his current skin#the blue represents the soul vultures' effect- he's still dying but i didnt have enough energy to draw all the scars and markings for now X#then u have his combat/adventuring attire which allows him to move more freely in a fight#sometimes he still wears the cloak with this outfit but it's not really needed#also ghosties cameo!! they love to cling to the demon in wispy crowds that only he and some eggs can see

I’m really sick and tired of seeing people reduce nolan down to:
1. He’s actually hitler, he’s a racist and sexist and hates every minority + viltrum is magakkk /srs
2. He’s an UwU wife guy babygirl guys!! He said he misses his wife so this clears him of all bad he’s done !!
All of you are wrong and I’m taking him away from everyone until y’all learn how to do media literacy correctly, you people treat nolan the way you should fucking treat homelander the actual canon racist and sexist pig! some of you r even deluded enough to think they would be homeboys ! NO
#also everyone saying he’s racist (viltrum doesn’t even have the concept of race in their canon)#and I mean race in the way humans do in discrimination by skin color amongst their own kind#reduce debbie AND mark down to just being asian soooooo idk chat#and everyone who says he’s just and uwu babygirl are wrong#u think just bc he looked cute or attractive when he was all mopey sad suicidal does not mean he is absolved of his fucking crimes fuck yall#And I say this as someone who loves his character IVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 3 YEARS IVE READ THE COMICS 7 TIMES WATCHED THE SHOW EVEN MORE#FUCK YALL!!#also if u argue with me under this post I’m whacking you with a block u can eat my whole ass sorry!#nolan grayson#omniman#invincible#debbie grayson#mark grayson#catch all these fucking strays#if the shoe fits wear it and stick it up your ass#text post#cris rant

“That’s a load of crap.” (redraw)
#something i wanted to redraw#was lots of fun#he looks so prettyyy#yeah i based the scratching a tad on myself when thinking how to draw it#doesnt look amazing just cuz lack of artistic skill in the area but whatever#realize i could use my own skin as ref but im too tired and thats too much detail for me rn LMAO#either way had lots of fun#he looks so fluffy and cute#handsome boy#handsome man#such genuine happiness#in me rn#with him#art#digital art#sketch#colored sketch#redraw#anime redraw#anime#bnha#mha#boku no hero academia#my hero academia#tomura shigaraki#shigaraki tomura#tenko shimura#shimura tenko#shigaraki is a pretty boy ✨😳#crying over him frfr

Dropping my UT scar ref on this wonderful summer day. The ones on his arms, and above bust are based on his actual scars that we've seen so far, and the rest are purely hc.
#I color coded them cos it looked far too messy and cos I need to know the severity of the scarring to decide how to color them#the 'fading' category is barely visible and would probably just look like slight discoloration on the skin#which is why there is so many of them#cos they don't rlly change much#oh yea#anyone is free to use this ref for their own art#yea it's my hc's but if having a guideline can help someone draw UT I don't mind teehee#artistic nudity#tw artistic nudity#scars#tw scars#black butler#kuroshitsuji#undertaker#undertaker black butler#my art#references

every day i remember the Japanese tlt covers and put my head in my hands (nuance in tags)
#its not even that they lightened their skin#(though that was unnecessary. really cool concise visual of the colorism in japan very nice)#they dont even hav their face paint in that version.#like especially for harrow that just feels kind of necessary. to what the books are going for.#they are The Ninth theyre creepy and weird you made them cunty!!!!!!!#like. did any other translation go out of its way to redraw the cover art for marketing#its so fascinating to me#like god forbid the audience actually knows what theyre getting into#inb4 if you like the japan covers thats cool. i dont. make your own post#qnd i have my issues with tommys covers too a lil bit they do tend to also skew to the left#of where the book is re htn and gtn#i like nonas the best but the other two always look like theyre Serving its just really funny#stop sashaying were trying to kill god here

Who recommended Brittany Howard to me for music choices??? Whoever it was thanks for validating exactly what I've been saying about being mixed black.
One drop of three-fifths. Whew.
#Something about the line 'I wasn't supposed to know about that'#And 'I'm not supposed to mind bc I'. Brown not black'#I flashed back to all the times that I witnessed both blatant and subtle racism directed towards my black father#As if that's not supposed to affect me because *technically* I'm not all black#As if seeing my father shamed and attacked and brutalized for his skin color doesn't make me look at my own#As if the racism I also experienced doesn't count because it's *technically* the hatred of my father's existence#As if I have no claim to things that have happened to me#Good food. Good food.

#tew#art#art:nathan#nuclearocs#nuclearart#ok so 1st of all: i'm sorry. no i'm not. yes i am. no#2nd of all: do not look at ruvik's scarring for too long i got lazy somewhere along the way#3rd of all: this piece takes place YEARS after the conclusion of both games. i have my own imaginary tew3 AND tew4. don't worry about it#4th of all: the way i see it is that eventually ruben's own appearance starts overwriting leslie's so he looks mostly like himself again#(just with hair and eyebrows and eyelashes. thanks leslie)#5th of all: yes i gave him a hearing aid the boy has survived a barn fire and part of his ear got burned away. it makes sense. to me#6th of all: yes i gave him pretty princess eyelashes and beautiful brown doe eyes and a nose bump. i will die on this hill#7th of all: when i designed nathan all those years back i did not even think about the color symbolism going on with his hair#which is now enhanced by the white patches in his eyebrow and eyelashes too. but yeah that's there now. much to think about!#and in this piece it's also in the clothing i gave them. didn't think about that either that just kinda happened. anyway#thank you for tuning in today i know i'm insane about these guys but like what can you do. sorry. bye#no wait hold on one more thing i made ruben taller than canon so he can hover over nathan like some victorian era skinny twinkish ghoul#not that nathan isn't a ghoul but. actually nathan is more ghoulish his base skin color is paler than ruben's. ok bye for real now#if you read all of that we will have a soft and bright late spring wedding with easily digestible food

The mostly-crazy darling of the Lunar court, Prince Jacin Clay-Blackburn!
Breaking my general pattern of posting the girls first so I have a little extra time to get my interpretation of Winter just right, so let's talk about Jacin.
Jacin approaches Winter's plot points with a certain characteristic gruff-ness, but he notably keeps her general kindness to the working class of Luna (something adjacent to what I think he'd have expressed in the books, if he wasn't so busy jacin-ing about winter). He's got lots of light, airy fabrics in his design, but retains something of a more fitted feel than winter to show this- big, billowy sleeves, but paired with well-tailored slacks. His wardrobe leans into lunar extravagance and almost ephemeral textiles in court, when he's actively trying to remain on "Levana"s good side (another thing he retains from the books- much more concerned than winter with remaining too small a nuisance to deal with- even if he inevitably fails because it isn't actually winters fault levana wants her dead).
Cinder | Kai | Cress | Thorne | Scarlet | Ze'ev | Winter
Original Au by @healing-winston-pratt
#lucy doodles#my art#fanart#lunar chronicles#reverse au#marissa meyer#the lunar chronicles#jacin clay#Lunar chronicles jacin#tlc jacin#lunar chronicles wolf#tlc wolf#ze'ev kesley#ref sheet#ok folk. how do we feel#i think jacin is sosososososososososo pretty#i just think that he should be too pretty for his own good#lots of light colors for his skin hair and eyes#and in my canon design for him#lots of dark and heavy colors and textiles for his clothing#and then it contrasts winter with her warm brown skin and dark curly hair and her light airy gowns and dresses#i have SO MANY feelings about winter and jacin guys#i want winter to be just right#fun fact i almost drew the scene where winter meets kai and decides to tease him with cinder but then it was too hard for a small doodle#so i abandoned it#ze'ev does not care for this man or his general vibe. please cease that (they will be best friends)#ok that is all my lucy rambles for the night. much love

Alright know what here's a little Guild Wars 2 reblog game for everybody; what mounts (if any) do your characters have in their canon, do they have names? Personalities? How'd they meet??
Spill it all below, tell me about all your creatures!!
#my posts#gw2#guild wars 2#thinking about this a lot lately since mine def do!#I'll start: Pirkko has branded mounts and while I haven't named most of them. they were all branded over by Aurene#because they'd been corrupted by Kralkatorrik and they wanted to see if Aurene's magic could purify them in some way#it usually didn't work but Pirkko keeps the ones they saved#Larimar is her skyscale. his egg was tainted by the Brand before he hatched so Aurene was barely able to save him#he's a chivalrous knight type and is known to be just as noble as the Commander who raised him. brave. bold. kind of a dork.#while the Commander is fighting he circles up above and swoops down to rescue injured soldiers from the front line#Saoirse meanwhile gets the SoTo skyscale egg and that hatches into Nightshade. he's fierce and protective too#but in a much more 'loyal guard dog' sort of way as opposed to trying to help everyone else as well. he's an axejaw!#in Regrowth Ceara gets Foxglove because the Commander and Gorrik could NOT manage this little troublemaker#she's too smart for her own good and is CONSTANTLY causing problems. so basically just like Ceara HDKDHDH#Foxglove's a lunarmane! and she's very fluffy and cute and will give you the big shiny eyes to mooch all your food. evil#Ruju meanwhile has a full cast of different mounts who all were troublemakers in different ways when he found them#his griffon Windshear's a northern featherwing that was notorious for carrying off travelers in Lornar's Pass. turned out she was just bore#she's very playful and mischievous and still grabs him on a regular basis. he absolutely hates this#his fulgurite ridgeback jackal Thunderclap was a rogue jackal that the djinn had him help recapture and tame#he's imbued with Ruju's air element magic and is known to make the air spark and smell of ozone when he's annoyed#then there's Blitz his lepidote brute skyscale! he likes bloodstone magic and kept nipping everyone until it was finally provided#the rest I don't have in-game yet but I DO have concepts for the skimmer/warclaw/raptor. the 1st 2 I know what skins I want too#the skimmer will be a frosty-dyed lithosol named Frostbite. it's an ice elemental that terrorized Frostgorge Sound#the warclaw is a spinetail nian with jungle colors since it's supposed to be a smokescale-type saurian critter#and the raptor is SUPPOSED to be the jungle raptor that plointt grew to huge size and promptly tried to eat him#BUT there isn't a skin that feels close enough yet so rip. Fang is a handful tho and keeps trying to chew on Inquest HDJDGDH#ANYWAY. that's all of mine. throws this into the wind

as a chinese person yall need to stop blaming the ccp for everything (read: hoyo is capable of making colorist design decisions and not everything is a result of censorship pls)
#the govt is v racist while also doing like a lot of rlly questionable economic exploits but also: as a company hoyo can suck#please read what china actually censors and what historical nihilism covers#also: sumeru proves that a) they can make brown people b) the '''race'' dynamics were literally crucial to the plot#it was *intentional* that the rainforest region designs were pale and the desert designs were (a rather laughable) tanned because it added#to the colorism plot they tried weaving into the academic and knowledge inequality plot#so i think it's also gonna be intentional that the natlan designs are pale like they're not fucking fools#open at will: hater behavior#also: you fail to consider that mandatory (for cn server) skins for old 1.x characters got released bc they decided they were too revealing#however neither kaeya nor xinyan's skintones got changed; sumeru released as normal#literally based on what's been changed: the only thing hoyo seems to be out of line with right now is excessive cleavage on some fem chars#i dont think the skin tone censorship is the real issue. maybe the company is just. a product of the colorism and biases#in china/asia as a whole#it's not 'oh ccp censored them' maybe their skin tones are just colorist#this is technically a ''''subtweet'''' as they say but it's also: bro ccp is not the end all be all bogeyman#also idc if you are from the cultures that genshin tries repping in game but gets skin tone godawfully wrong idc you have the right to ask#for more from them and call them out for colorism! it's a societal thing yeah but they can also do so much better#edit: another thing about this is like: yall are literally infantalizing chinese ppl like do u think cn people can't be racist of tehir own#free will?? the government is the only thing forcing them to be racist?? get a grip. not everything is because of the ccp oh my fucking god

u know what? fine. *draws my guys like they're a cartoon*
here's the lil antag crew too. they get to have more detail because they're special <3 (aka they show up less often so the AU version of myself that makes cartoons can afford to put more time into them)
#my art#pirate comic#ive never watched any cartoons tbh#so this was a lil silly to draw#i know nothing about animation i have no idea if this makes sense to be cartoon#but i didn't want to draw them in an extant cartoon style#wanted to draw them as if it was it's own cartoon with its own style guide#tried to make all of them really distinct#but also like if any 2 or 3 of them were in a scene together they wouldn;t clash. anyways.#pretty fun but hard af im happy to go back to my own stylee hahahaha#i don't kniw what the hell i was doing with colors on this#especially skin??? why is ginger GREY? idk#just accept it.#trying to imply matt and stan are related in this style gosh. hard.#richard was the first one i did so he looks a little wack but i couldnt make him better. everything i did made him look less lik himself#looooove his long limp arms though that's how he stands fr fr#SJ is a lil simpler than the others but thats just her in the reg style too hahahaha#matt continues to be hell to draw whenever he leaves the omic
