Miles knows ASL and even tho it's the Insomniac version of him Imma headcanon all versions of Miles know ASL because that cool asf!
Marisol communicates solely in ASL. She's Italian-American and LOVES pastels and hearts.
In deaf culture they use light to alert and get others attention so I wanted to incorporate light into her fighting style. She uses flash bombs and the main part of her suit, which is based off of the Mirror Spider's reflective back, can blind temporarily enemies. The eyes of her suit allow her to see in the intense light and are very expressive (an important part of signing).
She's not fully flushed out yet and this is only the 2nd iteration of her design so she will definitely change in the future. But for now I want to figure out what her face looks like and draw her with clothes over her suit because she does so all the time.
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
this is one of those, "wait, I seriously haven't posted that to tumblr yet?" drawings, lol. I drew this character months ago when I was thinking I might give making adoptables a shot, but even though that project fizzled out, I still like the designs I drew for it.
This brown hyena character was inspired by the Afrikaans name for the species: "strandwolf", or "beach wolf", due to many of them being coastal scavengers. I imagine her as an eccentric seaside hermit, reclusive by choice but still friendly enough to offer a passing traveler a cup of tea or clam soup.
