Since I hinted about my Seem skin color headcanons, I finally made a post just for that. The hairstyle I draw them with is to use both shaving/undercuts and show off their curly hair, as well as to make it easier for them to put on their headscarf. (Click image for detail)
First one (upper left) is the HC that I use the most, Seem with brown skin, hair, and eyes. I darkened their eye color to resemble the canon red ones without being eerie. Apart from noticing that the Precursor monk’s paint resemble Hindu monks’, I also noted the Precursors posing like Ganesh and other Hindu references, so I opted to make Seem Indian/South Asian. (I had also considered making them Algerian).
The second one (upper right) is what I think Seem would look like if they had albinism. They have spots and their hair is yellow rather than being all plain white, as it is usually stereotyped of people with albinism. Glare might hurt their eyes and the eyes themselves may be unaligned. Coloring their eyes dark brown is also approximate to some cases of albinism.
Last two are based around the Dark Sage Seem theory I have in mind. It coincides with the first headcanon. Their original hair color has been “bleached” because of Dark Eco, their eyes turned red and may have big dark markings on the sides of their head alike Maia. I call this one the “angsty AU” and don’t normally use it for writing despite being the closest to canon (because Seem deserves good things).
Feel free to use my color palettes!
