I would like to second the opinion that it makes no sense for her to be white, not as a diss to the artist but just so it's out there and maybe people in the future will not take it for granted that all characters should be

No idea why it doesn't make sense for you to have an elven queen be white, traditionally elves are white, so it's no surprise they asked me to paint her as such. I'm also not sure why it's a problem that there's an elven lady having a winged unicorn zebra as her animal companion, this is fantasy, not the real world. Even so I certainly wouldn't think twice about it if seeing an african/asian magician/whatever depicted next to say a bear/penguin/reindeer, no one culture/fantasy culture "owns" some kind of right to be painted next to certain animals.

I respect that opinion, I suppose my concern was more that in the 100s of characters this company has they seem to be almost 100% white -- having a desert-themed character be white seems like intentionally ignoring an opportunity to be more inclusive.Β

IΒ would suggest making your opinion heard by the company who produces the gameΒ --Β as it's not very kind to Viccolatte for you to complain to her for doing what she was PAID to do for this painting.

I never intended to be unkind, only to bring some different perspectives forward

Go 'head and make your own version then, no need to throw your opinion around as though it's superior to the artist's and then bash this artist for a COMMISSIONED piece.Β Your virtue signaling, nothing more.Β Β

I just said I wasn't trying to bash the artist at all, I understand that it's a commissioned piece. You may call it virtue signaling if you like, my intention is to just raise awareness of the concept. It is not in the artist's best interest to go away from the concept of the commission, but for others who are browsing comments, I don't think it hurts to develop an idea of diversity. Furthermore, as long as it's polite, I don't think offering opinions is inappropriate or bashing.

This is what I would imagine if Princess Zelda wore a female Zorua armor suit.

Why would a DESERT queen with a ZEBRA be white?
You people loooooove African animals but constantly erase African people.

You are very racist. Since when does any one race of people need to exclusively associate with animals from their region? Would you also have an issue with an African character hanging out with a European Badger?

"You people"? This was a commissioned work, I painted the character as it was briefed to me; a queen descended from elves.Β

The piece is magnificent in its details, but those hair tied together so tightly look just unrealistic.
