bro thank u so much for giving the dark skinned obey me boys actual skin tones. in the game they all look kinda sickly (simeon & diavolo whrn he’s full demon especially) and i see your drawing of simeon and he looks so full of life!

There shouldn’t be a need for a thank you but I appreciate it none the less! This might sound silly form someone who’s white but I damn well don’t like some of flawed character design and diversity that goes into otome or hell any game for that matter, but it seems especially harsh in this genre in particular. My family is pretty diverse and a lot of my art has been affected by what makes them happy even if it isn’t intentional, and some of that reflects back onto me when I like something such as Obey Me. Back when I was playing Food Fantasy there were a lot of elements to the game that I liked, especially the character designs... Until you get to chocolate and brownie, aka the most notably “black” characters in the game. Instead of looking anything remotely like a dark skinned human, they look grey and not at all any normal skin tone, and the lack of diversity in the game itself was a bit disappointing since you have foods coming from all parts of the world. Honestly, they could’ve even color referenced a chocolate bar and gotten a better palette for those two... Rant aside, when I seen the characters in Obey Me they looked far better, Instead of beige or khaki colored skin they actually gave Mammon, Dia, and Simeon at least a bit of richness to their skin tones, something more than just an ashy excuse for “brown”. Even though I’m white with blonde hair and blue eyes, my family, friends and community consists of more than that, and that they look nothing like what these games color them as and it’s usually what makes or breaks character design for me. Hell, if I can’t relate to a character that looks like me in terms of being taller than average with a more muscular build rather than the dainty female mc’s most games set their default to I can’t even imagine the disappointment that poc feel y’know? It’s more than just a frustrated sigh or an eye roll, it’s this ache in your chest that happens over and over again. I hate that feeling more than anything and I don’t want others to feel that way either. As a side note this is the exact reason why I love and support oc and self ships. It’s important to see yourself in a way that makes you feel happy and loved when no other media can do it for you.

Anon, I’m sorry for this rant here, but I’ve only had a few hours of sleep and I got emotional so thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nearly forgot to do a hair update!

It turned out better than I expected guys! I’m so incredibly happy and satisfied! The color is right what I wanted, the colorist is honestly a GENIUS AND A BLESSING. I went from bleached Dynamite Kenneth to a gorgeous beige-ish, ashy blonde/light brunette color that really suits my eyebrows much more! (If you saw those pictures of Seventeen's Jeonghan I reblogged earlier, it's kinda similar to that!)

All is well! Lol 🤙
