An Honest Apology
Many of you might be confused with this since this didnāt got popular or talked about; but it was for the better to not keep myself silent.
(disclaimer: Iām not an english speaker and Iām aware that this apology might be worded weirdly)
A few months ago; almost a year, I published here and my DA a drawing (and a pfp) of a Wendigo persona that I did for Halloween. It didnāt got much attention nor anyone saw something wrong with it, therefore, I couldnāt see the big time mistake that I just committed. You see, since I donāt live in the US I donāt really know much about their culture, much less Native American culture. Most of the info I have for myths and weird critters is through here, the internet. I tried to do someĀ āresearchā of the Wendigo but it wasnāt enough, for the most part of my life I always believed that theĀ Wendigo was a funny haha cryptid, you know...like mothman. (oh boy I was so wrong..) Most of the references that I got from this creature was from google images so I thoughtĀ āhey...If I try to depict this creature as accurately as I can, maybe I can do something cool with it..ā but at the end of the day It was highly offensive.Ā
Months later, I realized that these drawings were pretty racist, since the Wendigo is a creature that Native Americans take VERY seriously, and I wasnāt aware of that fact at all, so I deleted them. I wasnāt sure if I needed to apologize since no one saw these drawings (nor Iām going to show them, In my opinion I think itās for the better to forget about them) but as I said in the beggining, itāll be worse if I didnāt say a thing about this.
I also want to add that I wanted to portray Wendigos as part of my passion project called Siblings of the Dawn (or ThunderFeathers for some old followers) before all of this happened. Since big part of the world building is about different myths and folklore coming to life. But I decided to not to. In exchange, I tried to make an original species that are inspired by Wendigos (at least the image rather than the myth itself) instead of adding actual Wendigos. (they are still a prototype and I would thank a lot if you could give me some feedback) Theyāre called Forest Spirits (or soul harvesters), theyāre tiny anthro looking shadows with lion-like tails, some rigged clothing and wear skulls of different animals; their main task is to control the overpopulation of souls that avenāt found a body, some of them eat the bad souls, and others try to guide them to newborn bodies. I never made this public but I thought It was better to also put it in here.
Iām terribly sorry and I hope you can forgive me.
Also, quick note: PLEASE donāt try to defend me or commentĀ ābut you didnāt do anything wrong! this isnāt cultural appropiation!!ā itās really insensitive of you, MOSTLY if youāre not a Native American and donāt participate of this religion/culutre. This apology isnāt for you, itās for the ones I hurt. Hope you can understand.

Last year, The HRC (Human Rights Campaign), reported that in 2019 alone, at least 26 trans and gender nonconforming people were killed in the United States alone. Disproportionately, Black trans people were the victims. Those I have illustrated here, do not even scratch the surface of what is, and should be recognised as, an epidemic. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we do whatever we can to support the black trans community.Ā
