I believe the list of events was as so...

Oliver Nome did a Wonder Woman redesign over here.

forty40dumbhott @ tumblr coloured it to show what he'd like in a Wonder Woman portayal.

It circulated around tumblr, until I eventually saw it and went yeaaaaahhhhh..... buuuuuuttttttt..... it is still white woman *lineart*, and added a couple tweaks of my own.

Redesign of Wonder Woman where she is coloured as a black woman but the lineart is obviously of a white woman. Now with facial features and hair tweaked to be more accurate.

I like it. But the way her hips throb in your comparison gif is just down right disturbing.

Hmm, okay, maybe I'll get rid of the comparison, the original is linked after all!

Normally, I'm a huge fan of the race-bending to show how white-washed DC is...

But Wonder Woman's actually, you know, Greek (Well, Themysciran, but that's basically "Ancient Greek stereotypeish"). She has a defined ethnicity, and it's a little weird to me to see that treated as generic Whitey-McWhiteness.

That being said, I still think the changes are interesting in context of the original colorization - I just think that the original colorization is a little weird attached to Wonder Woman.

Disclaimer: not a historian whatsoever, but I have heard that the Ancient Greeks didn't understand or define race in the same way (via skin colour) we do, and in fact there were a good number of people of African descent living in the area at the time.

So it seems reasonable to me she could have more African features and still be "Ancient Greek stereotypeish"... at least by her own opinion!

If that's so, then objection withdrawn, of course - I've also done very limited research in the area.
