a party member drew us all lil arts to use as tokens in our roll20 and an unintentional consequence of the style they used (identical colours used for every party member for the purposes of differentiation from the background) is that they have absolutely whitewashed my character lmao

and like, yeah, i knew academically that my character design for that character wasnt white, like i Knew that, but then comparing the bw values for the colours used im like hooooly shit dude. and the main reason i noticed is tat the colour styling also meant that the hat and hair were the same shade, which is not true, zimris hair is way darker than their hat, and their eyes are the same colour as their hair, so it was like, the whole value space of the character was completely different

and it doesn't ~matter~, its not a thing that remotely matters - the important thing about the token is that we know where the fuck our characters are in the grid so we can fuck up some extraplanar beasties. thats fine. it doesnt matter. but its like oh. hm. okay. huh.

#also like probably an important thing to note is that i - the character designer - am very white #while the artist who made the tokens *isnt*#so its like. theres no malice here from the artist. it genuinely doesnt matter at all to anything #you can still tell zimri apart from the other characters in that simplified format.#arguably the bigger shame is that the simplified format gets rid of zimris fucking ~colours~#not just the shades but the riot of colour zimri wears. pinks and blues and yellows #zimri dresses like a walking pansexual flag and by dint of format they are now Green #but again it doesnt matter! it doesnt matter! its a means to an end! if we eventually get access to our tts again #then zimri will have the art i gave them #though if we end up going to foundry i expect the green token will Remain. we'll see. life moves on #it doesnt matter but im like :( my oc have been contrast slider'd and pastelized
