100 Portraits Challenges - Part 8 and 9
Not real ambitions for character associations here. Just looking for interesting faces and a broader diversity of skin tones.
Part eight
49-50) American actress Julia Jones
51) American actor Ritesh Rajan
52 - 53) Sikh American designer and actor Waris Ahluwalia
54 - 55) Indian actor, martial artist and stuntman Vidyut Jammwal
Part nine
56) Harvey Guillén as Guillermo De la Cruz
57-58) Canadian/American/Gambian YouTuber Khadijah Mbowe
59) One of the portraits of the Humanae Series by photographer Angélica Dass
60) German rock musician Gil Ofarim
61) Ivorian model Aminata Sanogo
The Humane series by Angelica Dass is pretty neat. It shows both the broad variety and similarities across humans from all kinds of ethnicities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Part 1 – Start of the project Part 2 – Kaladin Part 3 & 4 – Adolin and Renarin Part 5 – Dalinar Part 6 & 7 – Shallan and Jasnah Part 10 – a little bit for The Lopen Part 11 & 12 - Wit and Navani Part 13 - ofmd und Dev Patel :) Part 14 more ofmd and Patel

I've changed up the way I paint a bit and had to go in and make some edits to my custom skin tone swatch set so they didn't run into brightness/burnout and over-saturation issues. So here's a new sheet with all of them for anyone who wants it. You can get the actual photshop .aco file that has them all organized by list title, name, pale, light, medium and dark groups when you switch your view out of the default and into the "small list" mode, like I have mine in all of my videos to more easily find stuff, on my Patreon if you want. I just exported all of my swatches for Patreon again though so you'll have all the different shades of blacks, whites, metals, and golds I have saved in my swatch sets as well. Otherwise just eye-drop and save the ones you want from this sheet I guess. Idc. Enjoy.

What's up with the whole noble girl thing for April, do the people of the earth kingdom really think she's a noble just because her clothes are well made? Don't they find her features strange? I know there are dark skinned people in the Avatar world, but I don't remember any black people (I haven't seen much of avatar/korra, I could be wrong). Much less in the earth kingdom, which is mostly based in China.
LONG ANSWER BELOW!
Yes, it is her clothes, but it's more like people look at her as a displaced noble. She's also jumping between small towns so the quality of her clothes is completely different from what they're used to seeing.  Clothing is typically a sign of wealth so to them, she looks like a lost or fallen noble.  
Personally, the only thing about her features they might find odd is her hair.  There isn’t anyone with her curl pattern (that I remember) which is why Suki commented on it being odd.  We do see some background Earth Kingdom characters with wider noses and fuller lips so I don’t believe those would stand out to them.
On that same coin, we also see a wide variety of skin complexions throughout the Earth Kingdom, but mainly in their back ground characters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, I’m not saying that the above examples are close to April's skin tone, but I don't think they would consider it strange enough to comment on.  If anything, I would say that some of the other Earth Kingdom natives might assume that she has Fire Nation in her blood.  Simply because of the Fire Nation’s heavy presence (which causes issues in the comics), and because they have shown in the show that the Fire Nation has the capacity for darker skin tones (even though it was one character lol)
Tumblr media
Another reason why I didn’t have anyone say anything about it is because I simply did not want to lol.  I didn’t really want to write long passages about people commenting on the darkness of April’s skin.  She gets that enough from rottmnt haters lol.  
All jokes aside, I did not want her section to fixate on her race.  It might be because I’m a black woman myself, but I don’t write race reactions (this is definitely not the best term for it, but it’s the only one that comes to mind) in my personal works or fanfictions.  Especially if I don’t think it would serve the greater narrative of the story.  At most, we’ll see someone describe her complexion in a POV, but that’s about it.
Hope that helps!

Some of y'all be needing one of these bad boys before y'all start suggesting FCs for older, younger, and recasts for Black FCs, because, Baby, you muffuggas do not seem to know how skin colors look.
I need to make some of y'all a guide with people someday. You don't know what "dark skin" is. You don't know people can't grow up and become biracial when they was a monoracial kid. You don't know that two dark skinned parents will not make a quarter Black child, and the times that they make a light skinned child is not as common as it is on screen.
I... will help you. Someday. Not today. I'll make a lil' chart or something.

Simple Skin Tone Ref Chart
I wanted to cover some VERY basic samples for commissions. Of course, these are not the extent of all the undertones and more, but they should be easy fun for commissions. I'll come up with more soon.

I was looking for what colors to use in coloring Māori skin tones as I am planning on doing a portrait of one of the clones (Fives, Cody, Rex, haven’t decided) and I came up with this fabulous reference page with exactly what I was looking for:
Tumblr media
So, the page this came from was deleted. However, I have a pdf copy of it on my iCloud drive so any artist wanting to create a color palette for Star Wars Clones (who are based off Temuera Morrison who is Māori, of Te Arawa (Ngāti Whakaue) and Tainui (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Rarua) whakapapa, and also has Scottish and Irish ancestry) or any other ethnic background can hit me up and I’ll post what I have ☺️

Something that cracks me up (Not in a good way because it's kinda messed up) in games during the "create your character" section is the skin tones. Like 90% of the time it's like this.
Tumblr media
Not much variation in the lighter skin department, but absolutely NO variation in the poc department. Poc are not a "one tone of skin fits all" game devs.

do you have skin tone references for the ROs?
I swatched these, so they may be inaccurate! Here's the base/undertone, as far as I can color pick.

Please share this with other people, I spent hours working on this :)
I made this resource for digital artists to have something to reference and quickly color pick from for flat coloring. While I tried to include a diverse set of skin-tones some skin-tones are best conveyed by their highlights and undertones. Therefor they can't be conveyed by just one color, so I encourage people to play with highlighting and shading!
Please tag me if you use this to make art, I'd be delighted! :D
Also I may edit the pallet collection if people are able to suggest enough skin-tone colors that should be in it! I tried not to miss too many and if I don't get any suggestions I'll take it as I did a good job.
Anyway, please like and reblog! And follow because I'm an attention gremlin (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

can we have RO skin tones so i dont fuck up my fanart 🙏🙏🙏
Koda has a medium brown complexion.
Scarlett has a fair complexion.
Cyrus/Cyra has a lightly tanned complexion.
Quinn has an olive toned complexion.
Caden had a warm beige complexion (with a deathly pale aura).
Sloane has a light brown complexion.
Blake has a tanned complexion.
Reginald/Regina has a warm ivory complexion.
I tried my best finding the various skin tones that I think fit the general idea of what I’m going for— if I find better ones down the line then I’ll make sure to let you know! (And, yes, I did use real people for some of them.)
