I agree with your sentiment. The art from my fic post is concept art from artist Eric Jones who did a comic set in the sequel era and is the one of the only official images we have of Kix post cryo-stasis with the Crimson Corsair crew. You can find the art on Kix’s wookiepedia page:

Given that my fic is set after Kix wakes up in the sequel era, I had very limited official images to draw from in that time period. It definitely highlights a pervasive problem of both racism and colorism among portrayals of the clones at Disney. (Echo and Tech in the Bad Batch episodes come to mind.)
It’s a problem that’s also recurring in the fandom portrayals of the clones. @suja-janee is, in my opinion, one of the best Clone artists out there. Her art doesn’t whitewash the clones and she draws the correct hair texture (none of that stick straight hair from TCW). I’d definitely recommend her blog to anyone who isn’t already following her and wants a more honest artistic rendition of the clones. Also her baby au is the cutest darn thing
