Ayo new take on humanised TLK characters just dropped
Give the humanised character a skin colour similar to the colour of their noses rather than their fur. It'll be closer to being anatomically correct since noses are pigmented in accordance with skin colour in animals.
(Just a heads-up that this post was in no way intended to cause offense, it's just an idea to make human designs similar to those of the lions without the harm of whitewashing.)
