Aw thank you!! :heart::heart:

He's a werewolf and his name is Opalescent. My comic Wolftrain to Heaven follows his daughter BlueMoon, but this is a flashback of how he met his wife in a jazz club.

I have a lot but Iā€™ll just share one for today, I think most of my main characters are brown but if they are light skinned theyā€™re probably still a POC :sob: BUT this is Silvio Ramos, heā€™s a recurring character in several different stories, sometimes he goes by Sabah tho. Heā€™s sort of not Goodā„¢ļø but heā€™s so interesting I canā€™t stop drawing and writing about himā€¦

I think Iā€™ve shown other drawings of him before too.

lol, not all of mine are good guys either. a good portion of my casts are poc and i still need villains

Holy hell Imma sub to a whole lot of these!!!

So, hereĀ“s my queer main character, Ivar. I love her to bits...

This is no spoiler territory, but if you want to find exactly what she is capable of (she can do magic, come on, you know you want to know), you can read her story so far in the following links. Girl is going to have a long and hard road ahead of her... and itĀ“ll be insane. I promise.

Exactly! You get me lol I write mostly about Hispanic people so the antagonists tend to be that too. Although in butter bee I have a rare instance where there are some pivotal characters are are white :v like Geoffrey and Stellaā€¦ I mean I showed Geoffrey for like point 5 seconds, but I swear heā€™ll show up majorly later :sob::sob:

Aye, the world needs more hispanic characters, period. imao.

Lol, well, I have some relevant white characters.

Ummm, none in "Damsel in the Red Dress" or "A Dozen Morning Glories," lol.

But in "Rigamarole" the two MCs (brother and sister) and main antagonists (their parents, and the son of one of their parents' friends) are all white cuz it's kind of set where i grew up and the area was like 99.9 percent white at the time.

My female lead is also white in "Sketchy Business" though she'll probably often be confused for asian due to her slanted eyes. Literally, everyone else in her world so far is at least part poc though. (male lead kind of roundabout Hispanic, though ethnically, he's completely Malaysian, since both his folks grew up in Panama and are citizens of Panama.)

My female lead in "Crystal Blue" is half Welsh, but tbh, people are still only going to see a black girl and not care what makes up her heritage. Crusty mom (Therese George) is white though, a French immigrant, and so is her husband (french and german but American born and raised) and their son is white by default lol.

Actually, Crystal Blue probably has my second most white cast, since my FLs social worker and first antagonist is also white. Second is technically white too, but she certainly doesn't appear traditionally white, being from the Mediterranean.

i mean, white wouldn't be most people's first guess probably

Yeah! I write mostly Hispanic centered stories, and thereā€™s so much under that umbrella term I know I havenā€™t explored every aspect of it, but I guess that means thereā€™s just more to learn! I think since I grew up in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood it shaped the stories I write. Although now I live in a town that is predominantly white, but still most of my friends are not? But to be fair most of the people living in this town are like elderly people so itā€™s hard to like connect with an old old person lol or for me anyways.

Still I have a few white characters floating around too xD

Ah I get that, my momā€™s side of the family is from Italy and my grandma and her sisters are actually a deep olive tone, basically as dark as my dad who is Mexican. But thatā€™s also Mediterranean/European :sob: (theyā€™re from Sicily)

I know I definitely haven't, I just created my first Peruvian characters recently. I have the most experience with Mexican, Venezuelan, and Dominican people I think, so those were my go-tos in the beginning.

Interestingly, I've never struggled with this, even when I was like 6. I think the trickiness comes from any mental divide where you think you're very different from someone, but people almost always have things in common. I grew up watching old cartoons and black-and-white movies, actually, in a lot of ways I've been an 'old soul' my whole life, and I just talk to whoever, regardless of the age gap, so old people and I actually got a long pretty well.

Now idk, since I don't speak the language in the place where I live.

I have quite a few brown OC's from a fictional race.

Zalas, also known as The Shadow Emperor. He's one of the main antagonists for my web comic/novel.

Ravad. Also known as the Sun Emperor. He is a side protagonist for my web comic/novel.

Kirin, a priestess-in-training. She is one of the main protagonists.

Heeey I have a Peruvian character too! But yeah most of my characters are Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican as that's who I grew up with the most.

Ah yeah I have older friends too, I don't struggle to talk with older people. Most of my friends are slightly older than me, but I have a few who are/have been in their 40s-60s. One of my besties from college is in their 50s but I adore them xD We call each other siblings.

I think people get along more based on personality things though. You see I mostly just meant the old people in my town specifically :sweat_smile: They're a bunch of really miserable old pretentious people who even if i wanted to talk to want nothing to do with someone like me. I've tried connecting with through the art gallery and events there but they treat me like I'm diseased so I kinda just gave up lollll their loss I guess :O?

Oh that sounds tough ): I hope the language starts growing on you <3 I've learned language best from immersion, but it can def be tricky learning a new language so I wish you the best of luck.

well that's understandable, unfortunately some people are like that. It has everything to do with the individuals, regardless of age, ethnicity etc, who we'll be able to connect with

Exactly, they just happen to be RUUDE old people but definitely not all old people are like that. Unfortunately this small town is just filled with a lot of people with bias and prejudice :ā€™)

Blue Fedora/Crystal Jackson and Belle Rainey!

Also, Belle's goth husband Malcom

Otto is more ambiguous...but I intended to have him be half Moroccan.

Also... AMRIT!
