My first submission for @creatingblackcharacters’s Melanin Beam Challenge!!! Catra, Bow, Adora, and Glimmer from SPoP :)

(original screencap + rambling under cut)

To be honest I’ve always hc Glimmer as Blasian and Catra as at least half Black as well, simply bc I do that with almost every character I like or relate to (and bc I can) 😋 (Also I feel like Glimmer could only shape her hair like that if it was Afro texture) And I love Adora too, but she very much gives white girl in the show so I usually draw her as white lol. But I luv Black Adora so much :3 And Bow is canonically Black in the show, however he (1) is lowkey colored bright orange (2) is drawn with a pointed nose and implied small lips like most of the other white/non Black characters, and (3) has a high top with NO fade 💔 I guess some of that can be attributed to simplifying things for animation, but still it bothers me. So whenever I draw him I change all of those things. :3

I was EXTREMELY motivated to draw glimmer with wings, mostly because my last drawing of her with wings WASNT the best

✨GLIMMER DOLL✨

Judging by the poll it seemed that y’all thought I should go ahead and make some of the characters that already had official doll!!! SO I made glimmer! I’m really glad I did I LOVE the way she turned out! What do yall think?
