Artist's Comments

Okay let me get this of my chest. there needs to be MORE art on this site featuring people of darker skin tones. Im tired of seeing art featuring anime characters, models,photography, stories, sketches etc..etc featuring people of fair skin, white skin. Am i being racist? no I just would like to see some diversity in art. When i am speaking of dark skin, i am not only speaking up for people of Africa/African descent . I speaking for all brown skinned people ... like India,Cambodian,Thai, Dominican republic,Hawaiians and so on. Please bring more art of people with color to the table because dark skin is just as beautiful.

This is really cool. I'm from Dominican Republic and I have dark skin, even though I like fair skin photos I would like to see more art with dark skin people.

thank you so much for this! As a dark-skinned Dominican girl who doesn't look black/hispanic...really, much like ANYTHING, I always LOVED seeing girls of color of ALL nationalities in pictures-I think we need to work to glorify all of us, not just the black/hispanic ones, and we ESPECIALLY need more of a voice in art.

I love this stamp. So many days have I tried to find photos and art that don't deal with the "European standards of beauty" and I'm unable to find very many.
I agree that there needs to be more promotion when it comes to our skin colour because we're the Original people. All of the other colours come from us. Genetics show us that you cannot get a dominant from a recessive.
I hope that on DA, more of us will be brought out into the light and appreciated also.
Great job. :)

even though I think of race in the very back of my mind, I agree with you. My characters are mostly of the darker races, African decent, Yemeni... to name a few, and it would be nice to see more characters like them.
