The question is, “Does a few fan aren’t making Lucio lighter make in game Lucio no longer a black representative?”
The answer is and will always be, no…fucking idiot no. It dosn’t matter what these people draw or write Lucio will always be dark black…so who gives a flying fuck how people draw him.
But I shall second @ mootecky super great comment about lighting. Light changes our skin ton and just about every single color literally ‘under the sun’. It will change even the darkest of skins a shade lighter. That’s how ‘light’ works and reflects. The image @ owfansagainstracists took was from his basic reference sheet (I know..I own the book it’s pull from which have older ideas for characters as well as) and they seem to have noticed this as they took a single still from the game and did ANOTHER noticeably LIGHTER palette…for some reason? I guess to show that in game is different from their ‘real’ Lucio? But the illustration from the book is much lighter than any image from the game, even his clothing and gun are at least three shades darker than what is represented, and details are missing. His yellow highlights are shorter, his muscles are less defined and in general he looks light they literally ‘lightened’ him from his expression to his tones.
Depending on the lighting of each Map he will appear different as will every character but since Lucio shows the most skin he is the easier to use and is bait for the retard police I guess.
Black skin is like white skin (fucking shocking I know!) it can get redder when they blush, or pale when they feel sick, sunburn, rashes and ash are all things that happen. All these things change their complexion. And so does light. Hanzo looks down right Mexican on some maps, sporting a darker, almost brown skin palette with almost now yellow undertones. Reaper is another one who looks straight up white on maps like Volskaya or Kings Row.
From what I can tell @mootecky used a very nice washed out palette, with yellow as the base background tone. The whole look is very (cute)washed looking making it softer. Her palette choice for his skin is clearly not wrong as she pointed out (rek) but it also is not wrong for the piece itself. I look like shit on backgrounds of red or yellow. My red hair and super pale skin looks straight up gross so often I’ll pick very mute tones to match clothing wise. From an artist stand point she did a wonderful job.
The only person who seems racist is anyone who dosn’t grasp the basic understand of how black skin isn’t the same under different lighting. It’s racist to think they just stay the same becasue ‘lul black skin’.
