Hey jsyk it’s 2018 and if you’re still drawing characters with big lips like THIS, even if they’re pale/not black, it’s fucking racist. Stop doing it.
No excuses. “It’s a stylistic choice!” It’s a RACIST stylistic choice.
“Idk how else to draw big lips!” That’s because you relied on racist caricatures and are a bad artist. Teach yourself. Learn. If you’re not willing to do that, then you are a bad, racist artist.
“But it’s part of the character design!” Yeah, and it’s racist. If it’s your OC, then change it. If it’s not your OC, make the right choice and draw them with normal looking bigger lips instead of this racist monstrosity.
And if this post makes you uncomfortable because it’s calling you out for stuff you’ve done, good. Fix it. Own up to it. Grow.
If you see this and you’re first thought is to defend this: you are racist. You are part of the problem. Congrats. Now work on yourself and unlearn that.

형 a word used by Korean males to address another male older than them who they are close to. Hyung literally means “older brother”.
In the games as they got closer, Sang-woo tells Ali to call him 형/Hyung, which has the standard definition of 'older brother'.
Sooooo,
It is all the more tragic when the betrayal occurs, and Ali's last words were calling for Sang-woo 'Hyung'...
Btw,
The poignancy of the moment, could not be fully delivered due to the absence of an equivalent english form. In the english subtitle, the line “Call me hyung” was translated as “Call me Sang Woo”...
During Christmas we are all on our best behaviourrr, also Sangwoo
