In celebration of 2000 pages, I'd like to share a good example of incorporating nonwhite elements into a traditionally very white setting. A fanartist by the name of @Cosmiart (that's the name of her twitter, tumblr, and insta) draws a lot of excellent A Song of Ice and Fire fanart. In it, she adds a lot of central and east asian elements to the North's clothing and draws most Northerners as slightly darker than their Southern counterparts, but they're all still recognizably white.


She said that she did this because she thought it would be more fun to draw some variety rather than just drawing the same western European clothes for all of the regions in Westeros, and that it helps to show that the Northerners are indeed ethnically and culturally different from the Southerners like they are in the books. I think the way that she approached it is a really good way of a fan adding ethnic and cultural diversity into a work and making it look natural rather than stupid, forced, or virtue-signaling.
Now this is what I like to see in both fanart and fantasy art. I’d love to see more thoughtful and fun art exercises like this.
 
Ofc we have dark washing when they already got darker pallettes in the game
And of course the coverage of skin

And this dude /dudette might have some issues

Draw children cartoon characters as black but say they're in a "usually "white dominated country...
Make perfect sense

I hate this so much, this cutesy "oh I'm so traumatized when people say anything slightly mean to me" thing contrasted with the "I hate you people and want to see you bleed/die/get injured" stuff. It's stupid to expect these people know of the golden rule but come the fuck on, don't they think a single person on the other team is like them, and will break down when they see "shut up go away" on the fucking twitter feed 50 times a day?
