Apologies
    4 years ago
            So some of you may know I recently drew Kayla wearing a certain outfit and at the time I did not realise the symbolism of 
said headpiece until a few people brought it to my attention. I have since removed said artwork from all platforms and would
appreciate if it were not shared around. I'm sorry to all who were offended by the artwork as that was not my intention in the first place.
If you have any other concerns please let me know!

Don't worry, you are a good person, if you didn't mean to offend, you are at peace. If others are offended, it's their problem, not yours.
They are just annoying you,
Ignore the Haters and keep creating what you want. You can't please everyone
fuck the trolls.
there's NO such thing as "cultural apropriation" or other stupid shit like that.
If there was thered be NO mexican restaurants or italian or fucking hambergers.
only Irish could eat corned beef and drink Irish whiskey.
there'd be NO black dudes playing football or basket ball.
only chinese could wear orange and do h
kung fu.
the amerindians wouldn't be allowed to ride horses!
the italians wouldn't HAVE tomato sauce.
xristians wouldn't whack the tip of their pee-pee off!
the ONLY thing IS cultural APRECIATION!
THAT'S how we get better at being apprentice HUMANS.
It isn't the end of the world, but it is still important to respect traditions, and not bastardize things. Dias los muertos is a spanish tradition, but it is a holoday about rememberance. It might not be "your culture" but you can still partake, and celebrate it and no one should mind to much, since it's about family, and your deceised loved ones.
In this case, author made a peice of art, and submitted it without knowing the implications of the culture they used. They felt bad, and removed it out of respect for the culture as they now learned what the greater symbol ment to others(native american culture is kinda less known, i don't blame artist at all). My understanding is it was about a head dress, witch always look nice, but carry heavy cultural significance.
you CAN do both.
the psychotic morons who reeeee "rawsisisistaphobe" need to just stop.
I feel we shouldn't gate keep cultures, but some things have a larger meaning in some cultures, and shouldn't be misused/out of context.
I'm so used to being attacked by trolls that I jumped to conclusions...
damn my own mental panties are showing...
sigh...
this is why I need a wake up every now and again...
thx
Take Japan for example, so many people get bullied for "cultural appropriation" because they dressed up in a Kimono, but you can easily find a large number of Japanese tell these people to STFU because they love seeing people sharing their culture, its appreciation.
Don't bow down to these people, they will attack you for the smallest things.
You didn't draw this individual defacing it, just wearing it. I've seen white folks being handed
feather head-dresses and lynched for having pictures of it on. Even though the chieftain was the one
that handed it to them and said "It's okay"
You're a sweet artist to try and take everyone's opinions in account and taking it down.
I don't feel you need to apologize. I honestly think people need to get over them selves
