Do to a lot of the comments in my latest Wendigo adopt I feel like I need to make myself clear on some things on how I feel.
And not to be rude or anything but....
It is NOT racist to purposely misinterpret a cryptid out of inspection for artistic freedom.
As an artist I feel like I can pretty much draw what I want. Regardless if anyone likes it. Because I love drawing, its what I do, and I personally don't like others telling me I can't draw this or that because of an opinion. Now telling me I'm racist and disrespectful for making an adopt for the purpose of profit on a misrepresented cryptid is a bit much.
And to be honest rather rude in itself.
There are sooooo many other adopts that are based on cryptids werewolves, fae, centaurs, anything under the sun there is an adopt on it. And not all are spot on representations of them and that's the beauty of art, it can be anything you want. But I also don't see them getting hollered at for it for 'misrepresenting' the creature or being disrespectful of the native people. My windigo adopt should be no different.
It is a cryptid that I took inspection on and made it my own for others to enjoy.
SO, Tell me? Is it racist to sell cryptid adopts? and I'm talking ALL cryptids cause picking just one would be a bit weird.
So if anyone wants to be rude they don't need to type. BUT if you wanna have a civil conversation on this matter feel free to leave a comment down below on your opinions!
