Throughout the week I have come across several post on the different types of characters whether it be what can you tell from the type of men/women I’m into, or these are my fav webtoons. I’ve noticed that 99% of the webtoons either all look identical almost, or they’re European coded in nature despite being either in a Korean/japense setting or aliens.

Not trying to make this a race thing, it’s just something I noticed considering I’m black, and not seeing one black character in a sea of media just stands out to me personally. Obviously people who aren’t probably didn’t notice, or care which is fine I am only asking out of my experience if people care to see a WEBTOON where majority of the cast is black, Asian or Hispanic, and by that I mean they’re not Hispanic with blonde hair and blue eyes. Same with Korean, Japanese, or Thai. All very distinguish looking people, but they all look European. Is there a reason for this? Will making my characters how for the most part a lot of them look will that set a bad tone for my comic?

I just personally don’t want to make the cardboard cut outs of the same character. I’m just tired of seeing everyone either look like Jin-Woo or blonde Griffith.
