The return of BCS color theory!

I've previously argued that Jimmy's color is all of them, and I stand by that. But out of all of them, yellow is the most prominent.

The two most obvious yellows associated with Jimmy are his iconic Esteem and the mug Kim gifted him, both of which have a touch of criminal red.

The Wexler/McGill logo is a mix of Jimmy's yellow and Kim's blue (notice how the office is mostly yellow, because this is Jimmy's dream, not hers.)

So why yellow? Well, it's loud, it's bright, it catches the eye. Jimmy loves to be noticed. But most importantly - it's not red or blue. It's the other primary color! Because in the beginning, Jimmy's not quite criminal red, and not quite lawful blue. He's in his own category.

In 1x01, there's yellow lighting in Jimmy's office (his attempt to play it straight), but there's also yellow when he reveals his Slippin' Jimmy past (notice the blues there, too, as his natural yellow crowds out his lawful aspirations).

What does it mean? I think it means that Jimmy's colorful approach to the law is not inherently criminal. If it was, he'd be red. The implication is that Jimmy could have made it as a legitimate lawyer while still being himself.

And to prove it, here are some shots from 1x05, when he visits Mrs. Strauss for the first time. Everything in her house is yellow - the walls, her furniture, even her teapot (although she herself is dressed in lawful blue.)

Jimmy the Elder Law Lawyer was perfectly in tune both with his natural colorful nature (his slippin' ways were what uncovered the financial abuse of the Sandpiper residents) and the law. He couldn't cut it in the stifling halls of HHM or Davis & Main. But he could have struck his own path and been happy. In a kinder universe, maybe he did. Alas. :(

#my art #hermitcraft #mystery skulls animated #geminitay #geminitay fanart #ethoslab #ethoslab fanart #falsesymmetry #falsesymmetry fanart #ignore the fact that etho's hair changes literally every drawing #poses + expressions are traced a bit; and backgrounds aren't mine(well; except for the second one; which you can prolly tell;; sksnsks)#and also (with the help of sap bc i'm bad at color theory) edited the truck bg colors a bit #but even so;; i am!! very very happy with how these turned out #mystery skulls animated spoilers #<- honestly that's mainly for the murder mystery one #granted anyone who hasn't seen the future at this point prolly won't have that tag filtered #etho's murder mystery form(no i don't have a name for it)'s collar tag is a mix between a mable leaf and a vex!#cuz reverb is cub in this au #hence all the blue and stuff;; skdhkdnkd #you'd think that last pic would have been the hardest for me to draw; with how complicated etho's design is #but surprisingly; it doesn't even place top three in terms of how long it took to draw #no; instead it was that Fucking. Truck.#WHY did that take me eight and a half hours #the second longest was only five!!!#the others barely even top 4!#also #WHY are the deadbeats(which are mini tillies here) so deceptively hard to draw #every time i struggle with them orz #anyway. images 3; 6; 7; and 8 are my favs <3 #if false and/or pearl see this. o/ hoi

red is to spider-man as pink is to miles, in that pink is the color of: self-expression, confidence, compassion. if you side with miles, if you want to support his growth, you're going to be in pink

that being said...a pink robe can be removed, and pink hairdye can be washed out

#have LOTS more thoughts to thot around this and all the other colors in the movie but. just gonna leave it as this for now #like. dropping this here mostly bc i thought i lost this on my twitter and nearly had a heart attack lol #atsv color theory masterpost you'll never make it out of the notes app but you'll always be real to me #atsv #spiderverse #miles morales #my writing #<- idk how else to tag it for now lol

i may be an idiot but its just occurring to me what second usual color of fire is and its making me have feelings

#fire (orange/blue: jimmy/kim) + something to burn (lives: their own and others) = smoke (black/white; grayscale ending)#its basic chemistry jesse #trying to succinctly articulate the running theme of: fire. energy. electricity. heat #like yes all those things are normal to have show up in a story but in brbabcs its IMPORTANT #bcs color theory #bcs

OHHH MY GOD THAT LENS FLARE HES LYING I CANT BELIEVE I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE

MGS has a very tight color language, especially obvious in V and PW, but it's present throughout if you know what you're looking for. The main ones that get played on are red, yellow, and blue.

Red is kind of obvious. Violence, etc. Ocelot is typically wearing a lot of red, like in this image. In V, characters who are doing/about to do violent acts are often back-lit with red lights that seem to come from nowhere.

In PW, red incites dissonance by foreshadowing Paz being a double agent, while *also* painting her as an innocent little red riding hood analogue. But I digress.

Yellow is also kind of a no-brainer. It's typically associated with allies, general good-heartedness, and maybe a sense of naivete. Think about Amanda and Cecile in Peace Walker.

Kaz even *changes his outfit* from yellow ascot (and blond hair) to red tie and beret post-GZs incident.

Blue is a little harder to tie down. It's best described as deception (including self deception), "something isn't what it seems." Sometimes it's used for grief as well. Think Paz's whole room's lighting, the blue butterfly, or the way Snavid is described as a blue rose-- pretty, technically biological, but unnatural.

The lens flares in V are used a LOT to toss a flash of the appropriate color behind someone. Here we have Ocelot saying "yeah boss I'm over it dw" and the lighting going

Which. We know he's lying. We know because of the way he acts for the next THIRTY YEARS. We know bc when he has a senior moment (a multiply-hypnosis addled senior moment, but still) and mistakes snavid for john, the first thing he does is plant a kiss on him.

But sure buddy. You're totally over it.

#actually i suspect he genuinely does think hes over it bc he conditioned himself not to love V #but i dont have solid evidence for that other than the general vibes of how he treats venom in v vs john any other time #mgsv #mgs #bosselot #ocelotposting #revolver ocelot #analysis or something #color theory #my analyses

"I've known good criminals and bad cops. Bad priests. Honorable thieves. You can be on one side of the law or the other. But if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again. But you took something that wasn't yours. And you sold it for a profit. You are now a criminal. Good one, bad one? That's up to you."

~ Pop-Pop

Let's talk about Mike Ehrmantraut. He's in a unique position with regards to the law. As a dirty cop, Mike was simultaneously criminal and lawful. He knows the law is hypocritical and unevenly applied, and has no illusions that lawful = good and criminal = bad. When his son is killed by officers of the law, Mike must step outside of the law to get justice. So naturally, he mostly wears the color historically favored by outlaws everywhere - black.

Although he does struggle with it through the series. He wants to be lawful - or at least, he knows he should want to be lawful. He starts the series off in muted blue, when he is half-heartedly trying to live inside the law.

But he reverts to black pretty quickly. When his former colleagues come to interrogate him about the deaths of his son's killers, he's in black, refusing to cooperate. He will have nothing to do with the law anymore.

Blue creeps back when Nacho tries to convince him to murder Tuco. He may be an outlaw now, but murder is still a pretty big law to break. He wears a black jacket (outlaw) with a very muted blue shirt (he still has lines he won't cross...for now).

When he meets with Gus, he's in black and gray. He knows working for Gus is going to put him well out of the reach of lawful blue...

...but he still hasn't given up completely on a lawful life, as we see with his flirtations with Anita, wearing blue jeans and a blue checked shirt.

But his blues are always faded, and he's much more comfortable in black:

#my art #not hellsing #artistic nudity #cw nudity #kirikou and the sorceress #kirikou et la sorcière #west africa #the design is absolutely stunning #y'all need to check out that movie btw #it's absolutely amazing and I'll never shut up about it #i hope i did her justice. I hope the skin isn't too light bc the bg was light gray at first #and I hate color theory #also it deals with SA and gender issues as well as a more metaphorical approach to Africa's plight under colonialism #i love rendering. you put colors that shouldn't be there all over everything

Artwork finished for the story Nightmares Run Wild. (Had to draw this to get some tension out of my system) The story of (almost) losing a best friend (but being just as traumatic) was heavily inspired by pausing the movie's end, way too many times. So here's a quick summary under the cut for those who need it:

He was left behind, frozen. It only lasted a few moments in the movie, but they've made so many scenes of Pickles still not moving from Nathan's side after minutes long, maybe an hour too of dragging his body across the snowy terrain.
