Neat Shiny Owl is neither capable of nor liable to exactly reproduce any specific existing work of art. All styles (whether external or internal), and influences are only points of reference. In the pursuit of art and the improvement of representation of people of color, we must diligently work to build and reinforce a wider gamut of phenotypes, appearances and aesthetics documented, highlighted, or otherwise personified and depicted in any accessible art.

This means more dark skin, more olive and umber tones, more broad shoulders, more breast variety, more very thin bodies just as much as more thick bodies, more hair just as much as less hair, more wide noses, more thick lips, more short people, more "average" bodies, more differently abled bodies, and absolutely more collagen & cellulite.

While the references used, whether on this site or in style-guides utilized, may not explicitly represent who you are, Anthony Lewis and all parties working on his behalf will make it their exclusive priority to only take the best of these references and apply them to you exactly as you are, and in a way that makes you shine.
