I'm not, it rather makes me laugh.

I'm rather annoyed that they are unable to draw other races, like Asians and Egyptians. They base on stupid stereotypes more than real anthropology knowledge.

Pixelberry's whole anthropologic knowledge is reduced to the fact that Asians have yellow skin tone and slant eyes... I've seen some manga/anime works, where artists were more able to catch real Asian facial features' similarity. Example: Anime Characters DO NOT Look White!... I know that not everyone is Asian, nor Asian horror fan, but there are many Asian immigrants in USA (some cities still have Chinatowns and Japantowns), so I won't buy that Pixelberry don't have living models to imitate.

Also, Pixelberry seems to not know that Native Americans are related to Asians (they migrated through Syberia to Alaska, then spread to the South). But for PB, they are just Caucasians with tan skin.

The same goes for Egyptians. The whole Pixelberry's knowlegde is that they had olive skin tone, black straight hair and heavy makeup. That's another example of ignorance. Due to burning sun and heavy heat, Egyptians used to shave their heads (to not lose water with sweat) and use caps and wigs (to shield their heads from the sun and, in women, to not lose the attractiveness). According to some anthropologists, they were related to Levant people, so their natural hair might be actually curly or wavy.

I sincerely doubt that Delphinia's wig would endure 20 years in Gaul, as well as her cosmetics (there was different flora in Gaul, so it was harder for her to find the components). Also, Gaul's climate was way colder than African, so shaving her head might be fatal for Delphinia (I mean hypothermia, pneumonia etc.)... Beside this, to survive in barbaric tribe, she should do everything to became one of them, including having her natural hair and local haircut (Gallic women used to wear braids, buns or Roman haircuts).

The same goes for Cleopatra, who also looked different than Pixelberry's version Cleopatra, including her natural hair. But Pixelberry used the same stereotype for Delphinia, Cleopatra and Isis - they are just the same person in diffrent age.

So I understand using the same sprites, but I don't understand slackness justifying not doing their homework.
