DeviantArt used to be the place I put new poses up three times a week. It was the best place to get consistent updates of new poses from me.
BUT NOW! I have a self-hosted gallery on AdorkaStock.com 🥰 It's a WIP (and there's a lot of work to do) but I like having my poses on my own site. 😌
You can sign up for my newsletter and get an email digest of new poses each week or once a month so you don't have to always remember to go check for what's new. My long term goal is to have this gallery completely replace my DA archive. Reasons for this move include: - DA's enthusiastic support for AI - DA removing categories making it nearly impossible to search for CC licensed images - not being beholden to DA's future random TOS and API changes
Your support helps with this goal. ♥ Ways to support: - Share my work with other artists! - Support me on Patreon for just $1/mo - Shop my Kofi store for pose ref packs and merch Get all my links at my Link Hub. 🥰 Thanks so much for your support and happy drawing!

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see
To add onto this, here's the full-color spread of the straw hats for chapters 999-1000. There's an argument that this whitewashing is done to be more accurate to the manga, and I would like to propose that this too is bullshit.
First of all, Oda appears to use the same technique whenever he colors skintones, something easily seen if you compare Zoro, Franky, and Sanji here.
They all have a white highlight, a few layers of skintone foe shading, and then a shadow layer and some purple for realism. Comparing colors won't do us any good here, because this shading style doesn't have a distinct midtone like the anime does, and depending on how closely you pick your colors the texturing of the markers leaves some spots darker than others.
The biggest differences in skintone come from how many layers of skintone color oda applies. Robin, Luffy, and Ussop all have fewer highlights than Zoro, Franky, and Sanji, while Nami has fewer shadows than anyone in the crew.
Yes, all the straw hats are pale, but you know who isn't?
Blackbeard. It doesn't take a genius to see that he has a MUCH darker skintone than anyone else in the show. And in Oda's official art?
Same skin tone as everyone else. Now if Toei actually cared about manga accuracy, why make everyone pale except blackbeard? For that matter, why make Robin one of the palest straw hats when, if we look at the *miniscule* differences in coloring, she's supposed to look like Ussop or Luffy?
One piece has two problems when it comes to depicting characters of different races (three if you count the poor design decisions for Ussop and Blackbeard). The first is that Oda either cannot or refuses to draw more than one skin tone. The second is that Toei saw this, decided to take their own artistic liberties in the beginning, then backtracked (for some reason) during the timeskip and has continued backtracking ever since.
Oda can ABSOLUTELY be better than this. One Piece can be better than this. It HAS been better than this. The limited skintones we had in the early days of the show aren't great, but they're loads better than what we have now. I love One Piece. I will still watch the show and read the manga. But as a fellow artist, if Oda and Toei are trying to depict a world where men can be made of rubber and reindeers can talk and fish-people swim in the sea then it is their failure as storytellers and artists if they refuse to depict different colors of humans, and we as a fandom need to acknowledge it as such instead of sweeping it under the rug like we so often do.
#id like to say i hate how white they all are. both in anime or manga#but when it comes to coloring manga its normal to see 'less color' bc it usually means having to have a bunch of pens#talking abt oda bc i think he uses copics#and also having to add a Lot of layers to make colors look darker#which is time oda doesnt have#also manga r usually colored in light washes#which i believe comes from copying thar watercolor look#but also from an art standpoint maybe hed have a hard time making the main characters pop from his bgs#bc of how colorful they are#but well i cant be sure of any of those things lmao#all this to say i still think oda could do a better job with his colors lol#but i think the anime is worse in this bc they made the choice to Stop giving them good coloring#but i guess its someting that happened with anime as a whole in last decades so#its something we see in op but reflects the industry as a whole#btw yall will never catch me making any crew member white besides nami n sanji lol#one piece
