All my lovely weevils! Had a lot of fun pairing them up with drinks.

Protein weevil is based off of Cionopsis maculata.

Lemon weevil is a blue green citrus root weevil.

Weevil without a drink is an acorn weevil.

And coconut weevil is a palm weevil.

@creekfiend was very kind in sharing some writing resources with me, and I thought I'd pass along the kindness by listing them down below.

N.K. Jemisin's article 'Describing characters of color in writing'

Mary Anne Mohanraj's article on approaching characters of colour

Renee Harleston's article How to 'Write Characters of Color Without Using Stereotypes'

Working with Colour, a resource site for writers

the book Writing the Other by by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, which had a description that cut deep, because I've definitely fallen into this trap out of fear:

and then a video recommended by @sheprd (thank you!) about pitfalls in descriptive language

Tall, Dark and Racially Ambiguous

Alright, close your eyes and think of the following phrases: “olive-skinned,” “dark features,” and “tall, dark, and handsome.” Hold in your

if anyone else has more resources to add, feel free to reblog with them! this is something I want to learn more about.

Hi! I’m really sick of whitewashing and the various excuses that artists come up with, so I wrote a guide! How To Not Whitewash, at least with regards to skin tone. Please make use of it, and encourage other artists to do so as well. Here’s a link to this guide on a Google Doc - this document has image descriptions. Feel free to contact me if the link stops working, or if you have questions (in good faith).

hi! I was wondering if you knew of any resources (or even just search terms, I'm not sure where to start) relating specifically to Black experiences in the UK? I'm not atm creating any characters but rather just looking to better understand other people in my local community, and a lot of the resources I've been able to find online are either USAmerican focussed or older (which neither is inherently a bad thing, just I'd like to be able to find more relevant resources)

Searched it up online and found this HUGE website full of history, culture, and current and articles made by Black people in the UK, about Black people in the UK. There's so much here, it is an impressive collection actually. I would recommend everyone who lives in the UK who actually wants to care about their Black neighbors to keep an eye on this one!
