Reminder that these were concept arts for wriothesley vs his final design. There is DEFINITELY some interference that happens between the designers and the producers
unironically kooleen has one of the most manufactured art styles ever im sorry if you like her art but this is so boring, didnt even add furina's ahoge
since natlan characters never had any concept art leaks, until we get some, we’ll never know for sure, but i maintain my belief that there was some tampering
also; note that not all of wriothesley’s concepts were like this, a majority of them (that look closer to his final design) gave him white skin, which means the interference happened early in character development

Anyone who changes the skin color of any character = Racist
Imagine if she had darker skin and somebody changed it to a paler one.
And that's a pretty racist, stereotypical depiction too, look at the "tired" eyes
Compare it to the original, her eyes are obviously not "tired"
@SmolHooni
I agree for the most part!! Ofc there’s edits from people who make them biracial, which is totally fine, but if they are just editing to make them look closer to the race they are supposed to be, that’s when more proper research should be done.
