It's black history month, let's see/hear about your black OCs (authors and comic artists!)

This girl is from my comic mental soup:

[kyupol]

I had a black oc from long ago... I think his name is "Big Louie"... this was way back and he was meant to be one of the boss villains who run an underground fighting ring like this is yuyu Hakusho where the fighters had special powers and magic elemental weapons and such... And he's a badass fighter himself.

And these are the "good guys" in that comic... that never got developed properly...

Just as bad as the "bad guys"...

There's one teacher in 'Haru and Tsukasa' who is black.

Her name's Ms. Harrison, and she's Haru's World History teacher.

another new oc

My novel has 2 important black characters, with one already showing up and the other to appear at some point in the future. Anyway, the one who appeared is Evangeline Vaedra, vain noblewoman acting as the etiquette consultant for Hollowbane Academy by day, ruthless and cold Spymaster of the Executors by night.

I took a major inspiration from Aveline de Grandpré from Assassin's Creed Liberation, with the whole Persona mechanic that game had. I have a blast writing about her and she's to be one of the major figures in the story at large.

If you are curious, go give it a read and, if you do, don't forget to say hi.

same. is Sadie's hair naturally blue because she's a fairy or does she dye it?

[sophialyn]

Nah, it’s magic​
She died in the 1800s and was brought back by a spell, turned her hair blue, ears pointy, and gave her wings!

[Leyelle]

so she normally looked more humanoid?

[sophialyn]

Depends on the situation. I don’t want to say exactly how it works in fear of over explaining the symbolism. This exchange I think is the best way to explain it:
