CBC Black History Month Challenge!

It would make me fulfilled to know that 1) we've actually been listening to what I teach here, and 2) that we care about and celebrate the presence of Black characters, Black creators, and Black fans! So, in honor of Black History Month (US), here is my challenge to you- and yes, everyone can participate!

Part #1:

Create something!

If you're an artist, you can draw a Black character (Fan, OC, Black Edit). Writers, write a blurb! If you make GIFs, make a GIFset; if you crochet, I'm sure there's somebody Black that crochets worth honoring! You're creators- get creative!

Here's the thing: I want these pieces to be happy. Happy, joyful, triumphant, powerful, victorious, loving... SOMETHING POSITIVE!

Find quotes of famous Black people to use as inspiration, if you'd like (no, they don't have to be American. Black people exist worldwide!) That'd be really nice, even!

Part #2:

Tag your friends!

There is an unfortunate social fear of sharing things relating to Blackness on this site. At least for a little while, I'd like to see some boldness, some bravery. We all deserve to be appreciated out loud. It doesn't have to be much- just a "hey, this was fun, I'm tagging such and such if they want to participate!" No pressure, but no need to coddle, either.

Keep in mind, none of this has to be complex, but it DOES have to take some active thought! You could draw a lovingly done 5th grade stick figure, and I'd value it far more than a Michelangelo-level racist piece. I want you to take what you've learned here into consideration as you craft your work. Take the time to respect your creation! Recognize how you put so much thought into this, and how it feels to have created something with such care (and then note how frustrating it would be to see something done with no effort at all!)

Just tag the page for me to see it; I'm excited to see what we come up with!

Hey yall! Did my own interpretation of this photo some time ago and I finally have the time to share it

There’s a mixture of science fiction and fantasy characters

There’s some mages, aliens, vampires, orcs, ogres, fairies, etc

Some more Ethan and Ivan!

If timebomb had a kid, I think they would name her Isha. Mainly jinx would name her Isha

[mightybeedrawsforever]

Ivan is one of my ocs. He’s very precious. He’s the brother of my other oc Ethan. He’s dressed in green while Ivan is dressed in yellow

They may look like twins but they’re not. Ethan is a regular half fae child while Ivan is a changeling that was taken in by Ethan’s parents

So Ethan and Ivan grew up together

Ivan is a lot more optimistic, soft spoken, quiet and compared to Ethan with his pessimistic attitude glaring expression and so his need to fight sometimes

I love them both

I drew MelVik some hours ago :3

They’re my favorite ship right next to Timebomb

This is also my first time attempting to draw them. Viktor was the most difficult one to do. Don’t worry I’ll get better haha

I was watching Snow White last night and decided to draw my own Snow White. But this time, it leans more into fantasy and she’s a cute little black goblin girl
