You know what? fuck you *puts your mons in a blender*
I was possessed inspirited if you will to make this
And then it took me a week straight
Super secret Tumblr exclusive (unless I made a behind the scenes esc video for Instagram) extras under the cut
Here is my submission for @creatingblackcharacters' Melanin Beam Challenge!
I wanted to make Katie Black because I'm very very attached to her as a character. I think a big part of why I love her so much is because I always used to play as her when I was a kid to the point I've just kind of made up a world in my head where Katie is the real watch-wielder.
So when I heard that the Melanin Beam Challenge would be coming back, she was the character that immediately came to me as someone I could redesign to be Black!
I looked at her wiki page a lot for this, and thought it would be nice to draw her hanging out her canonical friends because in the games she ends up with Nate's friend group (most likely so they wouldn't have to recode like Everything to fit in Sarah and Chelsea). I also found out some cool things about her that I didn't even know, like she's apparently easier to inspirit because she has a sensitivity to spirits.
For a bit I wasn't fully sure on her hairstyle but I think what I have here is a really good translation of her original hairstyle and makes her look really cute.
[Image descriptions:
Image 1: Katie from Yo-kai Watch redesigned to be Afro-Japanese. She is medium-skinned, her hair is parted in the front to mimic her original design's front bangs, the back is tied into a big, poofy ponytail with a pink hairbow. She is wearing a cream cardigan with teal accents, underneath is a white and gray striped shirt. Her Yo-kai watch is wrapped around her neck. She is wearing blue shorts, gray striped socks and black shoes. There are multiple doodles of her to the side.
The doodles are from left to right, top to bottom:
Katie in alternate hairstyles, one where she instead has a big braid in the back and the other where she has two small afro puffs, each tied with light orange bows.
Katie in her pajamas, patting a sleeping Jibanyan with a relaxed expression. She is wearing a striped, pink and cream silk bonnet.
Whisper talking to Katie while she looks at him with a nervous expression and gently holds her watch in one hand. It is captioned "Katie the moment her life would change forever [smiley face] (aka the moment Whisper explains Yokai to her.)"
And a close-up of her yo-kai watch.
Image 2: Katie from Yo-kai watch with the same design. She is smiling and talking eagerly with her friends, Chelsea and Sarah. Sarah is to her left and Chelsea is to her right, both are smiling, Sarah is giggling and has her left arm raised to her cheek.
