#kaiju oc

a funny and then a good ol amarok doodle from whiteboard :)

Unfinished doodle of animatronic Aptenodytes and Amarok for the fnaf au :) did this while on a car ride bcus I needed to doodle them lol

The kaiju penguin belongs to the amazing @ridicbird!!

Still figuring out some stuff for them shape wise because the au DOES take place in SB so I wanna make em less basic, may also do so the other kaiju but I may not bcus Im lazy lol :) liking how I sketched Aps head though!!

Long while ago, someone asked me what gijinka Amarok looked like, and I designed her with black and latina features as an excuse to draw POC.. but upon the realization that her name is of an inuit legend (she is not the creature itself to be clear, just named after it because she is from the same area), I THEN realized that this probably wasn’t smart.

I wanted to ask publicly though to anyone who would be able to educate me, if it would be better to design her gijinka based off of the actual features from these people? Because I want to respect it, love learning about it!!! But I dont want to make my oc any kind of appropriation!! (I also want another excuse to start practicing features that aren’t just white ppl. It’s why I started making a lot of my oc’s black or black coded lawl)

And I also want to be clear, I did at one point ask if naming her this was okay and was told that as long as I am not turning the legend itself into an OC, I’m A-Ok! But please correct me on this if this is incorrect info! I am whiter than a piece of blank paper so I don’t want to be doing anything I shouldn’t be! Gosh, this is a LATE post to be making practically a year into her creation, but a necessary one. Thanks for reading!!

EDIT: Forgot to add, I am not just asking for advice from social media! I am making sure to do my own research and ask for guidance. I just know I won’t find anything on google that says, “how not to make your oc cultural appropriation”… but if there is such an article or video on it then I would be happy to have a look!

I HAVE to post cus Im feeling chaotic and will probably doodle it later

*wolf fam hanging with rodan*

Rodan: yeah! being bi means i like both binary genders

Romulus: huh… nice

Rodan: yea, humans came up with it. i see em argue a lot on it but *shrug*

Amarok: interesting..

Rodan: what is?

Amarok: that theres a label for it

Romulus: it existed before?

Amarok: of course it did. its just a matter of finding who makes you happiest

Romulus: well. i dont think im bi, i never found interest like that in any other males
