i think that counts, you don't get more different than different species

Well, I have a couple, but I'll start with Otto since he's more of a Work in Progress.

Otto has a white dad and a Moroccan Mom. I've decided on Otto being biracial for a long time, but I'm a bit torn on where his mom comes from (as I said, I'm leaning towards Moroccan, but honestly, his mom could be Ethiopian, Mexican, etc.)

This is the first design I've made for Otto's dad. He's Ashkenazi Jewish, and this may not be the design I keep for him. Dude's a factory worker. Ignore ghost dad. Ghost dad is not canon.

In Clyborne-Chatterjee, the secondary protagonist, Rin Chatterjee, has a Pakistani Dad and another dad that's white.

also...please be normal about Otto's hot dad.

I was waiting for your ocs to show up lol

I wasn't thinking about it but now that you said something I have a strong urge to do the exact opposite of what you just said!

Dang! Hunky dad! hot hot hot!

LOL! Well, Otto's gotta get his good looks from somewhere.

Of course. Why do you think Mrs. Moon is so unbelievably gorgeous even at (cough cough) 56 years of age?

(don't tell her I told)

Oh, and for those wondering...here's the design I have for Otto's mom.

sometimes when i can't decide what ethnicity to make a character, i legitimately just base it on the accent i hear in my head

pjthetoonaddict 2024-04-07 19:38:28 UTC #29

Honestly I kinda do the same thing! But I tend to sketch and work out a character's backstory as I design them.

Leyelle 2024-04-07 19:48:15 UTC #30

ah same, I have to make a back story, but often time their basis just has to do with an accent or set of features i give them.

What are the odds that we both have Mexican/Native American characters AND Korean/White characters?

I think it's cool that Madeline has red hair!.Gabriel dyes the absolute hell out of his lol

Leyelle 2024-04-08 15:07:48 UTC #32

lol, my character Kattar used to dye his hair a lot too. Because he's Korean on his father's side, even though some Hispanics have lighter colored hair, his hair is very black, and he would bleach it and then dye it brown. Sounds crazy from the outside, but he was addicted to doing that until he got injured. Now he hasn't had a hair cut or dye job in ages.

And yeah, the odds are crazy lol.

Shannon Carmichael:

Technically tri.

he's:

“Arab, Irish, and Venezuelan,” he says with a wave of his hand. “My ancestors put all the jokers in my deck.”

“Or maybe they just wanted you to be ‘colorful,’” I quip.

“Colorful,” he bounces his eyebrows in a way that makes me start cracking up, “Like those nasty little pieces of dried hell in a fruit cake. But you’re the ‘rainbow ocean,’ not me. Though admittedly a lot less of a rainbow...”

He goes by his mother's last name, because going by a Saudi name would make life very hard for him. He's also known throughout the story for his strikingly green eyes.

Andrew Palmero. Mexican and Navajo, raised in a portion of the Navajo Nation out in Arizona by his father and mom-aunt Bella.

In Cupcake War Machine, Stella Starchild is part Hawaiian and part Mexican.

In MK's Jekyll and Hyde, she's biracial (half white and half black).

In Word is the Bird, his human cousins are biracial in the same way.

In Psychoborg, the titular character is a melting pot and a cyborg. Doesn't get more multiracial than that.

In my adaptation of Frankenstein, Prometheus (the Monster) is made up of different men and not all of them were white Germans. In fact, he is predominantly BIPOC in his features. Namely black and Spanish.

Leyelle 2024-04-20 22:11:15 UTC #36

who's black and white?

MK_Wizard 2024-04-20 22:13:27 UTC #37

Sorry. I meant to say my take on Lucy Harris Hyde's girlfriend.

In the context of my fantasy series, this boy is my little ba$tard boy with parents from 2 different tribes. Chaeren was abandoned to a half-breed colony shortly after birth.

are you working with an artist or illustrating your own story? your art style is really distinct and crisp
