op I’m not sure you were aware or not, but giving a black character who clearly has tightly coiled/curly hair, broad features and evenly brown skin, straight/wavy hair with lighter skin and slightly slimmed down features is inherently whitewashing them. If you need resources on how to draw curly/coily hair and how to properly execute certain skin tones in your art, I assure you no one is going to fault you for it, you can ask for feedback from other black people in the fandom.
It’s obvious you didn’t have intent/purposely whitewashed gaz but doing research goes a long way.
If you could see, you would see that the art on the right is literally translucent in terms of colors overall, there, the clothing is also very bright compared to the reference.
And also, I believe that people of any race have access to straightening their hair by any means. Do you think black people are supposed to have curly only hair? Ouch, sounds like racism.
ALSO, my reaction is absolutely normal, considering the bunch of shit I get in all social networks, it's literally targeted harassment for no reason. This is not criticism, these are insults, and even death wishes sometimes. But of course, I'm the bad person here, not all of you.
