made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

Your Usopp is so pretty (just like the rest of your art!!) I’d love to see you draw him again if you’d be up to it. Thanks for sharing your art, it always makes me happy to see it on my dash.
OMG… thank you so much anon 💖💖 i am most definitely up to it. i’m working on something for usopp at the moment too ! it’s just that all those wips im trying to get to are accumulating and it’s starting to become a hassle lol. with each character study i do or revisit for redesigning, i have to really lock in and contemplate about what i think feels right/works or not. that’s really the main hold up rn, along with the common art block.
it makes me very happy, i can make you happy with my art !! it’s one of the many reasons i do this. these warm-hearted inboxes mean so much 🫂

okay ! rubs hands together. continuing with these and dipping
actually. i was in a mood. sanji has always been wasian to me. japanese and french to be exact. (his dad is the french one).
ace - tongan 🇹🇴 i personally cannot believe how very pacific islander coded him, LUFFY, and jimbei all are in different ways but somehow it’s an unpopular opinion. beats me, but this is my truth.
sabo - umm argentinian 🇦🇷 and dominican 🇩🇴. ace and luffy’s palagi brother, yeah
dadan - look into my eyes and hold my hand... dadan is melanesian. she’s solomon islander and brazilian 🇸🇧🇧🇷
a few additionals:
shanks - filipino 🇵🇭
law - puerto rican makes the most sense to me. look at him. he’s not german, oda doesn’t know what he’s talking about most of the time or he just doesn’t know some things yet. that man is latino 🇵🇷
bonney and kuma - australian aboriginal OR māori ! i’m hitting so many with the islander beam but seriously, they’re canonically australian. so why not just make them indigenous 🇦🇺/🇳🇿
hancock and her sisters - indigenous chinese 🇨🇳
edit: had to fix a few typos, i was tired while typing all this forgive me 😭
So you already discussed your hc for Luffy's ethnicity but what about the rest of the crew?
great question, i’ve been pondering about this for a while, it’s just when i saw luffy, i just knew he was my pasifika cousin 😭 i have reference sheets w all their hcs i’m working on to post later but let me go ahead n lay out rq how i would imagine the strawhats! i try to be as canon compliant as possible when assigning them.
usopp - afro-caribbean, specifically jamaican 🇯🇲
luffy - indigenous on both sides. so afro native samoan-brazilian. i stand by that forever. polynesian luffy real 🇼🇸🇧🇷. malagasy too. historically malagasy people are austronesian relatives as well anyway (malayo-polynesian) 🇲🇬
nami - thai-swedish. she’s ethnically fully thai, but when bellmere found her and nojiko, she took them to her hometown in sweden to be raised. im a firm believer in southeast asian nami 🇹🇭🇸🇪
zoro - afro japanese-caribbean. been a blasian zoro truther since day one. so japanese and haitian 🇯🇵🇭🇹
robin - double native as well !! native costa rican, the bribri people, and indigenous to eastern russia, yupik. she’s a challenge to figure out but i just know this is a native woman. 🇨🇷🇷🇺
jimbei - melanesian cousin fijian-indian !!! 🇫🇯🇮🇳
franky - italian american. only fueled by how water 7 is allegedly based on venice 🇮🇹🇺🇸 but also consider panamanian franky …🇵🇦 exactly. so he’s either panamanian or italian american to me
brook - afro-austrian ethiopian. an ethnically east african black man from austria(i also get new orleanian from him IF he were american)🇪🇹🇦🇹
chopper - if he were a human, indigenous canadian first nation (inuk) absolutely 🇨🇦
vivi - nubian and sudanese vivi on top !!! 🇪🇬 🇸🇩
sanji - french ……… 🇫🇷
i have headcanons for ace, sabo, dadan and some other characters too but this post is getting really long. to be continued !

I just have to say: your art is beautiful, your anatomy and shapes are amazing and your colors are the cherry on top that make it all so breath-taking. I love how you draw faces, expressions and hair! Have you considered doodling a living Brook?
this is late, im sorry 😭 YES i have absolutely considered drawing him. in fact, anon, i saw this in my inbox for a while and i was gonna surprise you with some actual brook doodles that i have in my drafts but im not ready to show them yet !
i just haven’t been able to finish much art of significance lately other than half rendered wips. i only ask if you give me a minute to get myself together, i’m recovering from burnout
THANK YOUU, thank you infinitely !! all of this really made my day 💓💓 it’s what i love to do and express

note: my luffy is gnc nonbinary transmasc !! he just doesn’t ever want/ care about getting top surgery. let them out and free, he literally doesn’t gaf. there’s also a whole headcanon i have about him growing out his hair after the culmination of ace’s death in marineford and sabaody archipelago.
so to start, after the war and before he started training on amazon, and traumatized, he cut all of his hair off (all except the root) in his process of grief and started his hair journey.
long story short, his hair is like a sign of his character growth and strength along with time of healing, so he refuses to cut it again for many years. it just keeps growing..

Okay so I love love LOVE the way you draw the monkey d family it FUELS MY SOUL. I’m new to this app and I have lived my whole life thinking nobody drew them due to there being a lack of it but HERE WE ARE!! I absolutely love the luffys mom design and need to know everything about her. May we have a fun fact abt her? (If not that’s cool too)
thank you sm!!! ABSOLUTELY. i love her too. was waiting for someone to ask. this might be a little long.
she acts JUST like luffy. same mannerisms and everything. not as “empty headed” or frivolous but you get the idea. confronting, loud, blunt, selfish to the point where she’s extraordinarily selfless, etc..
samoan-austronesian ofc !!
she’s an international big-time con artist who steals(pirates) from local corrupt, rich leaders of different islands through her sea voyaging. she rarely uses the money for herself, but for the purpose of gifting it to the poor people who really need it. it’s a robin hood allegory. she’s very bright and quick-witted. and beats people up if they deserve it most importantly
traveled usually with friends from her home village and sometimes new people met venturing. unironically, very good wayfinder. she can navigate extremely well even without the help of her best friend, who was their ship’s navigator. she did this for 10+ years. the government wishes she would explode.
garp is more or less angry about this but mostly because her bounty would only continue to rise. meaning it’s dangerous. at that point, he’s like “oi sole !! fine! whatever she can handle herself i guess. it’s not like i can stop her !” it’s so funny to me, he can’t control his kid, his grandkids to come, or his son in law who just so happens to be the most wanted criminal in the world 😭 no one listens to him. i’m sure he feels crazy. most of his aiga are considered criminals.
may or may not be a devil fruit user. probably not tbh.
i figured since oda keeps insisting that luffy looks just like garp when he’s young and when he’s older, i thought yeah exactly ! luffy’s the spitting image of his mum too.
her and dragon met on her island when they were young. i’d say around the age 14-16. when they married many years later, dragon took her last name for reasons iykyk
before they married though, her and dragon went voyaging as well. they did many revolutionary missions/undertakings together. even before dragon named the endeavor a “revolutionary army.” this was the beginning.
dragon developed feelings for her and of course, it took her a long while to realize this.
luffy’s mom knows dadan. she’s an old friend of hers. wink wink. this is why garp is familiar with dadan and trusted luffy (and ace)with her.
i’d like to think(i DO think) they gave luffy over to dadan for safety reasons if we’re being honest. this is why luffy probably never saw his biological mom.
i like to paint luffy with a bit of pink in his eyes, a feature his mom and his grandpa garp, and previous maternal family members inherit. notice how gear 5 has pink-reddish eyes too !
after luffy was born she doesn’t scheme as much. things happened. with her bounty it’s not safe to stay in one place, but she does get to relax in her home village on every good occasion. she kinda has to play hopscotch between islands so they won’t be targeted.
*
these are just a couple of ideas i had about her. a little might change later but this is how i feel about her (possible) character. AUGHHH i really wish to expand more on this and draw more of her. i do have unfinished drawings of her in my cloud though. im super busy with college rn. i will post more art of the monkey d aiga (family) when i have the time to !!! i’m SO happy you like how i interpret them 💗💗💗
