if you design a character, "do it right" and make the same skincolor as the character, if you really like the skin you've created then you can include a recolor 

that's my opinion

Lmao if u don't plan to make the skin accurate, why make a design of that character at all ? for me it kind of defeats the purpose

I feel like if a character has a certain skintone then you should make the design match. The only thing that I find questionable is that sometimes people get mad if you change a black person to white, but not white to black ?? I think it's kinda weird both ways bc then it's not the character itself yknow?

thats a bad thing but idk if that actually happens a lot in designs, dont most folks design their ocs/just random outfits they like?
but a thing that personally annoys me a lot @ VP hobby designers is when they make a black skin, but just take an old white skin they made and turn down the brightness or lumination, instead of actually designing a dark skin.

Whitewashing is a casting practice in the film industry of the United States in which white actors are cast in historically non-white character roles
