CALLING ALL ATLA Fans!! Ok So I Just Got In To The Show And I Love It 🥰 Here’s A Redraw For You

Hello friends! In light of the creator of Inktober shamelessly plagiarizing his newest artbook from Black artist and art instructor Alphonso Dunn, and the constant harassment of Black cosplayers and artists for re-imagining their favourite characters as black (i.e. Kiana Mai’s drawing of Princess Peach) in media where we are underrepresented, I’ve teamed up with my friends over at the Black Card Members community and created #Blacktober! Let’s create a positive space for Black creatives, by Black creatives. ❤️ 

Blacktober is a month long exclusive event where Black creators get to turn their favorite characters into something that looks like them or draw their Black OCs using the official prompt list or their own! The event is meant to overall have fun by putting a fun, representative twist on their faves be it from anime, western cartoons, video games, and more!

If you are nonblack and would like to participate, you can do so by sharing, uplifting and commenting on the work of Black creators and protecting them from the possible backlash they might receive. Alternatively, you can join OC-tober, where you will be drawing the OCs of Black people while continuing to spread Black joy and overall promoting Black artists! There will be an OC bank where Black creators can submit their Black OCs, for anyone (nonblack & black) to draw! We are currently accepting submissions from Black creators HERE!

The event is meant to overall have fun by putting a fun, representative twist on their faves be it from anime, western cartoons, video games, and more! It includes creatives, cosplayers and artists of any medium and its for anyone Black or mixed with Black. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Fun fact, October is Black History Month over here! 💕

Have fun being unapologetically Black!
