How did Tel-Kar come to be Sleeper's butler?

ok so after all this stuff

sleeper and red are adults now and already :/ at tel-kar but he is foolishly very arrogant and they are, in a way, emotionally dependent on him like youll see in many abusive relationships, but the last straw is when he puts a hit out on venom

the vigilante venom has been a thorn in our side for too long! tel-kar says. sleeper freezes. red says, good riddance.

but no way is sleeper going to let anyone kill his father(s). him and red swiftly and violently stage a coup, red mostly just for sleeper’s sake and out of no love for her father(s). P much, they kill everyone loyal to him, cut out his tongue. sleeper gets off some sort of one-liner. some repeat of some crap thing tel kar used to say to insult them, its super badass but i cant remember what it was. chain him up in the basement and torture him for at least a year. after THAT and with some of sleeper’s pheromone shit hes a bit more compliant, and the butler thing is purely his punishment of humiliation, and they throw trash at him constantly and sleeper makes him stand and stare into the sun and act like a footstool and all manner of other crap like he used to do to them

tel-kar occasionally attempts to murder sleeper, but the shit they put him through after one of those attempts is just not worth it so he’s just kind of begrudgingly accepting of his lot in life at this point 😂

tel kar also functions as a body guard bc “im the only one allowed to kill you” trope

you cant just say you have a hack for drawing pinstripes and not tell us jude cmon

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 

Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.

Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!

Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)

If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 

Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.

Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.

OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS
