#also a handful of artists during isles had no problem drawing gandus with her canon skin tone but somehow did with mianite

i still don't understand how people were/are able to not only draw mianite with light skin, but now dianite in isles as darker than him.

ye age old digital art of the color picking tool shows not only that mianite has always had notably darker skin than ianite (who has the standard light skin of most s1-s2 mianite npcs) but that mianite and dianite not only have the exact same skin color in ises--they have the same base character model.

the uncovered portions of their skins perfectly correlate. same exact colors/patterns. (obviously go ahead with whatever you want to do with ianite, i just used her as an example to highlight that canonically, neither mianite nor isles dianite is pale.)

also standard disclaimer that i have light skin myself and there's a clear difference between someone making dianite darker than mianite to project their own appearance on dianite in particular and a light person subconsciously deciding that the evil->chaotic god is darker than the good->lawful god with the same skin tone. the mianite community is small but if someone started a dogpile on the former i would to beat them to death with a stick.
