Artist's Comments

True story: I had decided to go to bed but then I drew this instead. This is Jude, who's Chinese name I can't be bothered to remember at all at this late hour. *ladydragona created him for Skin Deep, along with a couple other Chinese mythology-based characters collectively called the Foriegn Exchange Clique. Basically I love them.

Anyway. Jude. He wears a shirt that says "Trust me I'm a doctor." He has an improbable afro. He has several iPod Shuffles that are color coordinated to corespond to different genres of music. He breakdances for spare change so he can play DDR at the arcade for hours. His glasses are attached through his bridge piercing in his nose. Those are real. He's secretly a Fu dog. You know how it goes.

Skin Deep is horribly white bread, so I'm trying my hand at figuring out how to draw different races. I think I got "he might be from some part of Asia" down okay. He tans a lot, apparently. I love him.

I drew this whole thing in a half hour in photoshop for the sole purpose of drawing pierced glasses. I'm just that awesome.

*ladydragona created Jude. Ain't she neat?

:-o Personally, I think it would be terribly, terribly painful to have my glasses attached to the piercings on the bridge of my nose. Another note, he's cool. I like him and his "break dancing for spare change". can't wait to meet him.
:iconbooker:
Not really! All the weight of the glasses rest on the nose pads! Plust they're magnetically attached to the bridge bar so you can't rip them out. That's handy.

SO THIS IS WHAT KORY DOES INSTEAD OF SLEEPING.

The glasses thing is freaky but cool. Rock on, Jude.

Oh, this would prevent my glasses from falling out of my face all the time XP

Oh! Neat! DDR for hours! Kind of like me ^^

Ahh, magnet! That would help, methinks. Yeah, I was picturing practically ripping of his nose everytime he had to take off his glasses. :D hehe...I'm stupid.

Hey! He really looks Asian! I commend you, because I find it hard to draw Asian features. Jeepers I just love Jude and I love this drawing. Even though he's outlandish he looks believable (due in large part to the more realistic/detailed style, I think). Like he stepped right out of FRUiTS. There's just some unpinnable charm that compels me to fave 'im. Verreh nice!
(Darn good job on the whiskery chin/lip scruffage, too!)

Hmm, he give off a more korean vibe than chinese, but it doesn't matter because AFRO. MY GOODNESS LOOK AT THAT THING. I want to squoosh it in my hands, y'know, just squoosh squooshity squooshness all the way. (I also hope squoosh doesn't turn out to be an euphemism for anything O_O)

Anywho, I LOFF HOW THIS IS COLORED. All golden-age comicky goodness and all. The entire thing is very nicely done:love:

I've discovered that my basic "Can't be bothered to properly shade this" is "Let's throw a halftone screen on it and call 'er done!" Seriously, I should probably not rely on that method as much as I do.

Yeah I thought he looked a little dark/full in the face to really come off as "Chinese", but then I realized just how much of my life has been spent in the middle of White Bread, Missouri, because I'll be damned if I know anything at all about people who aren't white and I feel like I'm using racist stereotypes when trying to draw different ethnicities.

Being a dog he'd probably love you forever if you squished his hair.

But that method rawks!

Anywho, it was more the fullness of the face than anything else (lots of chinese are really dark). Also, don't know if you've heard of this, but made a ginormous tutorial about different human types. [link]

Drawing physical differences isn't perpetrating racist stereotypes at all, just facts. Really, it'd be more racist to draw one face type and just color it differently to portray different ethnicities :P
