Prompt #239
"You don't understand," Villain seethed, hand pushed tightly against their wound, "how hard I worked. I did..." They took several moments to pant and whimper through the pain. "I did everything I could, but you- you're the real monster here."
Hero was quiet.
"You don't"- they paused to groan. They kept bleeding, and it hurt. "You don't know me, Hero. You only see my actions; you don't- you don't consider their meanings."

Hey quick question how do you come up with the color scheme for the piece? I get stuck trying to think past what colors my characters have
oohhh, that's a hard one It depends on what you're focusing on, the colours on a character or the colours in their background! Backgrounds are best when they complement the figure but don't melt into them. Using opposites on the colour wheels (red/green, blue/orange, Yellow/purple) is a good place to start, as well as complimentary tones. So, for example, for the pieces below, the background contains a Lesser colour from the figure, but allows the main colours to pop! the pink/red of ahme's skin to the desaturated green, the deep but warm brown against the blue and green of the bg!

For complete pieces, full illustrations, one good way to make the character and background feel more coherent, is picking colours from the figure and incorporating them into the bg. The pink flowery dress becomes the pink of lanterns in the bg, the same yellow of the stars as the characters eyes. And for most character designs, I find sticking to a few base colours and adding one to make it pop, works for me. Brown leather and smoky blue with Gold jewellry, Lilac silk with sage and perwinkle blue! Also, mixing warm and cool tones. All warm and all cool is borin, gotta give it a touch of the other to make it glow! Also, make sure to look into some colour theory, my way isn't the way for eveyone, getting lots of dif info is the best way for you to find how YOU like to colour! Hope this is helpful!!

It sounds weird considering they're mute and featureless but I really like the character of C4-621. I suppose I should say I like them conceptually, rather than just liking the specific C4-621 self-insert that I play as.
I like this stoic shell of a human being who's gone through so much that at this point they're pretty much only capable of piloting an AC and doing nothing else. They're merely functional.
Tumblr media
But they're still a person with thoughts and drives and they still manage to express themself with the sole outlet they have available, the AC they're doomed to pilot. It isn't just a weapon and a lifeline, it's a canvas which Raven uses to design (or regain) their personality.
It's my own personal headcanon, but because of the reasoning above I like to imagine that when I get obsesses over ACs working both functionally and aesthetically and spend longer on colour-schemes that weapons, that's reflected in C4-621 spending hours between missions poring over notebooks and sketchpads and colour palettes.
It helps that on Tumblr I've seen so many people interpret their own personal C4-621s in so many different ways that all feel very personal and unique.

Writing Trope: Magically changing your POC characters.
You might not realise this, but if there’s a POC character on screen then there’s a good chance the character won’t stay themselves for the entirety of the story. Don’t believe me? Here are a few examples.
Princess and the Frog: The main character turns into a frog
Soul: The main character turns into a soul
Coco: The main character nearly turns into a skeleton
Brother Bear: The main character turns into a bear
The Emperor's New Groove: The main character turns into a lama instead of being dead.
You get my point, yes these are all Disney/Pixar-related stories but the point still stands, it’s a very common trope.
You might be asking yourself, why is this a thing and honestly...I don’t have a good answer for you. It’s almost the same question as “why does every black superhero have lighting powers?” It’s a common trope that again, not many people understand where it came from or why it’s a thing.
I think I might have an idea but it’s only a theory though. I think this is one of those situations where white people try not to be racist but instead create a racist character anyway and for this example, I’m going to be looking at Pixar’s movie, Soul.
If you’re a person of colour and a writer you might’ve gotten the good old. “How do I write a black character?”
“I don’t write black characters because I don’t want to accidentally become racist.”
“I just find it easier to write stories about fictional animals instead of humans because I don’t want to be racist.”
I discovered that young writers are afraid to create people of colour because they think they're going to get “cancelled” or get called out for being racist and in order to avoid the uneasiness about writing a person of colour, they make the character transform into literally anything else. This way the writer gets the benefit of no longer writing a black character but instead a [blank] one, all the while still having a black person on the diversity checklist because said character started off as black.
In the movie Soul, the main character doesn’t even stay in their own body for ten minutes before getting swapped by a white woman and in a way...that was kind of blackface the more I think about it.
While yes, there was one black writer (Kemp Powers) to help write Soul, there were two other writers who were white. One of them had been with Pixar since Toy Story. So, it’s safe to assume in the pecking order for who was in charge of creating the story, it was most likely a white person with Kemp being there to help do touch-ups. (Pure speculation).
I’ve seen countless white people try to “avoid” being racist by creating characters which are extremely black-coded but for some reason aren’t considered black because said character doesn’t have a black skin tone and the thing is, if you’re trying to avoid writing a POC because you don’t feel comfortable writing them, then you need to ask yourself, why? Why are you uncomfortable adding a person of colour to your story and why do you think people of colour are these weird foreign concepts you’ll never understand?
We’re not asking you to write a POC story, no. We just want you to add us to your story because we exist.
If you’re going to add a person of colour in your story, maybe don’t change them midway through, because I think it might come across as you’re trying to avoid writing us, by changing us into something you’re more comfortable with and we don’t want to be changed, we like ourselves for who we are.

if there's one piece of art advice i wanna give everyone i know, it'd be to
RENDER YOUR LINEART LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE!
Tumblr media
lineart can be coloured and shaded just like every other aspect! it may be subtle but can make a HUGE difference to the finished piece.
now, it's not for everyone; some people prefer the boldness of black lineart. just from my experience, allowing lineart to blend yet still stick out just enough can help art feel smoother and open.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR PIXEL ART!
Tumblr media
since your lineart is WAY more noticeable and thicker, sometime it is jarring to have all of your lineart bold-black. colouring your lineart opens up your art; it creates space for your subject to breathe. black lineart can be confining, so lightening it up to compliment the colours it contains can make your art look fresher!
AGAIN this is purely up to choice. everyone has their methods! just from me to you, try it out sometime!

so i'm crocheting a temperature blanket this year. my initial instinct was to say it's for my 32nd year but that's not actually how birthdays work so instead i'm awkwardly going with "the year i'm 32" and shortening it to just 32 mostly. anyway, that's besides the point.
i have the colour palette/yarn, i have the pattern (toni lipsey's linen stitch pixel temp blanket), i made a gauge swatch, i've started tracking temps (i've recorded hi/lo starting on dec. 8).... but fuck, i'm having so much trouble figuring out the temperature gauge!!!
i can't decide what the intervals should be, i can't decide if i want purples to be warm temps or cold temps or where to put the neutrals, i can't decide if i want to fiddle/tweak(/cheat?) and use the lows for the cold temps instead of the high which was the initial plan.... i just don't know!!! ugh.

I actually do struggle a bit with colours, but overlaid gradients help a lot
