Nicki With a 'C': thoughts on skintones

mulattafury:

people ask me a lot about drawing poc, more specifically “how” to do it. my kneejerk reaction is to get frustrated by it, because the answer is “just like you’d draw anything else.” it’s like the main excuse artists and writers use to not include poc in their art and in their…

It’s what brushes that I use in SAI and my settings.
There’s a couple that are downloaded or something, like the Grass and Gore brushes, but I don’t know where they came from. :S

It’s funny how it’s always the Muslim woman who is “oppressed”

Forever Reblog.

Welp.

Yeah, because its fine if the women look like us. But if they have brown skin, it must be a terrible tool of oppression - we need to show these people how to act civilized.
It bothers me how much our American exceptionalist attitude truly does still translate into our invasion and interference into other cultures/countries/governments business and practices. It’s been our tradition since 1442…

Muslim needs to be expanded to include these:

I’m arab so that bothers me, but past that I have no idea

The taoist nun looks like my grandma…

Okay!  

I’ve received so many questions about how I made this arm.  I got the idea from this lovely robo arm and as it turned out, she also used the same base pattern that I had planned to (Edward Elric’s automail arm).

Basically what I did was take the pattern and heavily alter the arm pieces while keeping the hand mostly the same.  I used mostly craft foam combined with leftover styrene I had from a different prop project, and three different size brads (from the scrap-booking section of Michaels). I glued everything together with high temp hot glue, but I sealed the finger pieces with e6000 at the seams to ensure that they wouldn’t pop open in hot weather.  Once I had all my parts glued together, I coated them in about seven layers of Mod Podge cut by half with water.  Once this was done, I coated all pieces in Plasti-Dip spray (it’s a rubber coating that you can get at Home Depot near where the spray paint is).  Since I wanted the arm to ultimately look used and abused, I made sure my spray wasn’t perfectly even - just don’t overspray or you’ll lose some of your detail.  When this was dry, I added the brads and painted over them with black acrylic paint.  

I covered each piece first with silver Rub n Buff - again, acquired at Michael’s.  Then I did washes and dry brush layers of black, brown, and orange with some additional green Rub n Buff antiquing wax.  I started with the idea of making the rust look natural but got lazy halfway through.  

The forearm closes with velcro, hot glued in place.  The upper arm doesn’t open, it just slides on and stays.  I accidentally made the arm smaller than I’d wanted to so it’s a tight enough fit that the pieces don’t slide around.  The wiring between the joints is held in with duct tape, and only attached at one end, so it moves in and out as I flex my arm and wrist.  The hand piece slides on.  I wore a full-arm length glove under the arm to improve the aesthetic and for comfort.  

I hope I covered everything.  Let me know if there are any questions and good luck!

Some people cited one reason they don’t make more racially diverse characters even though they’d like to is because they don’t know how to colour darker skin without it looking weird. I had the same problem when I started out and made some horrendous mistakes so I know your feels and made a skin colour chart for you. It’s not perfect and doesn’t cover every tone under the sun (added in other random colours because I got carried away with it) but I hope it’ll help get you started.
No, you’re not racist but at the same time you’re hurting your progress by allowing yourself to become comfortable with the fear of making mistakes. Just give it a go. (And don’t care about the unfounded prejudiced opinions of random strangers on the internet, what are they going to do? Type at you?)
