Quick Tutorial On Drawing Characters of Color →
damnlayoffthebleach:
“WHY IS THIS RELEVANT? In terms of most fanart, there is a dearth of visualized characters of colour. I think the main exception to that is perhaps manga/anime fandoms (I say ‘perhaps’, given how many debates there are about the ethnicities of manga characters); but for me, it’s still not enough. Fanwriters have been batting this topic back and forth for a while now. When...

thebookofstyle asked: I just have to thank you! I have tossing around ideas in my mind for writing Twilight with black characters and (also with more common sense, (like, for serious, if your boyfriend takes the engine out of your car so you can't go anywhere *run and tell your daddy while grabbing the GD shotgun* SMH). I just haven't gotten up the motivation to start writing but seeing your West Indian...

I suspect this has to do with the penis psa, and I understand. I, too, love a good penis. once you realize this isn’t a penis blog, though, I suspect you’ll all leave in droves.
in the meantime, I just wanted to say hi, and also you might want to skim my about me page so you know what you’re getting into.

“I am a woman of colour with a deep – almost unhealthy – love of popular culture....”
– Bim Adewunmi, in a moving editorial for The Guardian (UK)
I’m trying to imagine how white supremacists would argue against this. ‘Make your own, then’? Oh right. Because the solution to having a top-heavy white network and movie execs, producers, writers, directors etc is to...

When POC characters are turned white: this isin't about race, if you think it is then you're the racist one, lets just enjoy the book/film as it is, this is about the character's personality god you're so sensitive, the new skin tone actually fits the character's personality IMO, I never imagined them as POC anyway, not all whitewashing is racist god get over it!!111
When white characters are turned into POC: omg how could they!?!?!? this is soooo racist and unfair! why cant they present that white character as WHITE, how dare they change the original skin color to suit their own terms! this is reverse racism!! this is about race! I NEVER imaged that white character to be a POC that is so weird, it doesn't fit, this is political correctness gone crazy!!
When POC characters stay POC but readers/viewers imagined them as white: THIS IS SO WRONG. This isn't how they looked. i don't care what it says in the booooook because i imagined they lookd different. ugh the film is ruined now. Ruined.

Spread the Glock love but give her the credit! I spent a bit of time commenting on so many repins stating who the artist was. Glock is awesome:) I claim her proudly as a friend. I have two pieces by her...

canering:Yes, the casting call for Katniss specified “Caucasian only” even though Katniss is racially ambiguous, and arguably, the story would have more political resonance if she were played by a woman of color. Many children of color looked up to Katniss as a rare role model that actually looked like them.
Sadly, it is naïve to think that the people and stories we see in the media are selected...

IP masking might be the easiest, to make it appear as though she’s connecting from a North American URL. I’m not up on the best extension tho
HMMM I have no idea how that’s done either, but I will look into it, thank you!!
