Hey all. I will no longer be sharing art on this platform moving forward. If you would like to follow me elsewhere, I’m on TikTok, IG, Threads, BlueSky, and even Facebook. Same handle (mostly). HMU if you need me.
That "artist icks" post that's been going around has gone from 0 to 100 in nothing flat. We really went from "I hate art theft and racist caricatures"...to "I hate when people draw black or fat people". What is y'alls problem.....
Happy

y'all! I’m working with
@comcast
to highlight hidden figures of the Civil Rights Movement — The McDonough Three. These women along with Ruby Bridges desegregated New Orleans schools in 1960. Learn more about their stories:
Upon further investigation, the illustrator for these students is Toyotaro. Idk how much input Toriyama gives on these, but he did design Pan’s teacher, who is obviously insanely better than any black character design from the 80s. So point still stands!
The attention to detail on April’s hair is top notch. This is one of the few times I’ve seen a black girl in an animated series with their hair tied up for bed.

The ones I know of that have some solid designs are Michiko and Hatchin, Soul Eater, Fire Force, Bleach, Basquash, Hunter x Hunter. Just to name a few. Modern anime generally does a better job with not making them look like ugly caricatures.
Y’all ready for the Winter Olympics? I had an amazing opportunity to partner with
@comcast
to highlight two incredible athletes on Team USA! Check out this illustration of speed skater Erin Jackson and bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor.

Drew a woman with Bantu knots a while back. Wanted to do a full body and decided to use Taina from “Almost There” as a basis for it. So I guess she’s cosplaying Tiana at a ball? Idk.

You really don’t need to do this if it’s not dependent on realism. You’re not messing up if you choose the latter for a stylistic approach. But if you want something more realistic and detail oriented, it’s cool to see the first.
Ok this has nearly 20k likes and I don’t understand why. So I’m shamelessly self plugging. I’m an artist based in New Orleans who loves making character art. Check me out here, IG (same handle), and BlueSky (morgcity). I also sell prints of my work. Website link in bio.

She’s adorable! Never seen either her or the boy before today. But it’s definitely refreshing. All I remember growing up is the bubble gum lips we used to get. 💀

Yeah this is basically it. We never saw her in the movie. So it’s just a little surprising for her to be here. I guess maybe she could have been in a book or something but this is the first time I’ve seen this lady. Lol.
Everyone sharing those old Inuyasha redraws I did, so I wanted to reshare the new ones that have more Songhai influence in the designs. They have Zarma names since they’ve been reimagined.
@opal_lines
You know what it never was? That serious. Why are people getting feral over this?? They want you to change your entire style for them??? Lol bye.
