Black artists shouldn't have to risk their platforms to speak on issues that affect them. As much as I enjoy posting art here, anti-Blackness continues to persist in all areas of the art community.

doodling my way to japan update!
thanks to so many people, i've paid off some of my japanese university's tuition!
right now, i'm focusing on raising for living costs.
i want to doodle as much as i can, so if you'd like one consider donating!

quick dark skin and pastels tip from me resident pastels and dark skin lover because how many times must we have this conversation

again reminder: dark skin tones comes in different shades. I'm not tan, I am a deeper brown. drawing a character that canonically has deep brown skin, a lighter, tanner brown is not good enough
"they still look poc" doesn't cut it, not anymore

your support for black artists should come from a desire to see improvement in our visibility and to combat the frequent hate and harassment we receive.. not to present yourself as some sort of super ally..

hi #PortfolioDay !!
im melty and I like drawing cute things. drawing cute things as a profession would be super sweet!

using "monolingual", "westerners" or "americans" as a catch all for black people will never not be weird.

anti-blackness in fandom goes beyond fandom at this point, cute avis won't hide the fact that some people genuinely don't want black people anywhere near them
