joulejay: gomigomipomi: Agent 8's first Splatfest. hey OP what the s---? also I fixed it I'm not sure where to begin with this as I normally don't post anything other than my art here, but I have seen enough from your side to prompt me into making this post, so I suppose we should start with the obvious: 1) Swearing, editing my works, and worse of all, throwing heavy accusations around like there's no consequences and being proud of it. I might not know who you are but I can tell you're rude and ignorant based on first impression. You have already lost quite a bit of my default respect that I have for anyone before we even begin 2) I read that you're a PoC and most likely belong in the group of minorities from where you're from. Now that's something you and I have in common, but our biggest difference is, I don't throw accusations lightly like you did me. 3) Now let's talk about art. I have seen people trying to explain to you how color, light, tonal values work, but you seem convinced that as long as it's not a direct eye-dropped tone, its considered whitewashing. There's a difference between giving a dark-skinned character a lighter shade due to lighting/mood and downright turning them white. And just for clarification, I generally favor pastel-like tones with saturated values at times, which usually resulting in a softer and brighter shade in the things I colored Let's have a look at the official art We know that the creator is trying to convey an atmosphere. Marina is being colored close to a beige tone here, but we can tell she is still shades darker than Pearl, and naturally so. Everything here is meant to look soft and light to convey a sense of relax Here's another example of light and mood: Notice the differences in how the creator colored in these two pieces. One is not more 'right than the other. They're just being depicted in different mood and settings, often times exaggerated to display a more dramatic effect. 4) Im not sure if you're still with me, but I shall continue on. Your heart is at the right place and your cause is noble. Racism is a very bad thing and I should know, but I think you're picking the wrong ng people of something that isn't ntended, creating more battl e. You're accusing of enemies than allies, making the environment hostile for the wrong reasons. Your lack of understanding and proper knowledge in certain field has, frankly, caused more harm than help towards your goal and, indirectly. hurting the art community. I don't bear any ill will towards you and I'm definitely not expecting an immediate change, but all I ask for is that you take a step back and think things through before you decide to throw down the gauntlet again.

I hate to say it but they're not still with you artist, they're out there telling their friends to go harass you in the name of fighting "racism" even if they had to invent it themselves. Throwing intelligent discourse at them here isn't going to work because they skipped out in both halves of that at the start.

Ah, another shining example of people on tumblr not understanding colour, light and style. For fuck's sake, Marina is still plenty dark in the artist's original work. It is ridiculous that this exact situation happens so often.
