Toppat Clan Elites Colour Palette Redesign (2024) & Colour Theory
2021 design & colour palette vs. 2024 colour palette & designs.
So, fun story, but my laptop bugged out or something yesterday, because I discovered half-way through I couldn't save ANYTHING, from any app. So these are screenshots of the final image (, that's why the size is small & a bit fuzzy).
Righty'o! I've been brushing up on my colour theory knowledge, wanted to practice, and I found this re-design sheet for the Toppat Elites I drew August last year. So I used that for my recolouring practice (and some minor redesigns).
The colour swashes on top are the old ones, below the new, and I scribbled down which colour palette type I was using for each elite.
Some guys like Macbeth & Poshly didn't really change much, just some slight alterations to the hue or saturations. Others like Ahnoldt and RHM got a complete new colour scheme.
I was watching this video, and learned you're supposed to have a dominate colour in your colour palettes. A colour which should have the most saturated and be used the least throughout the piece, and that way it will work to draw the viewer's eye.
Eg1. Carol Cross's design. The dominate colour in her palette is yellow. I changed the ribbon near her face to yellow (, as that's the focal point), and gave her a yellow headband.
Eg2. RHM. I made his scarf the most saturated colour to draw the viewer's eye. Also, in contrast to the duller blues/orange-brown in his palette, the red really 'pops' out.
Eg.3 Mr Macbeth. While his new palette is VERY close to the original, the new one works better as there is more contrast from the saturation. The old palette all has the SAME saturation (so, intensity of colours). It makes nothing stand out. His new palette uses a brighter red & yellow to create more contrast, and thus a more interesting design. However, the red isn't as saturated as the yellow (and is in a larger quantity), which allows the yellow to work as the dominate colour.
And that's my colour theory waffle for today :)

Lore time!! Here’s a giant wall of text for all the lovely theorists out there ;) This panel(s) is huge, so it took absolutely forever, but I got a lot of help, which was really nice :) And I’m debuting one of my 3D models! The Kaleidoscope in and of itself took me months to make. Because it’s so complicated, it needed a pretty advanced reference, aka an entire posable model I made in Blender. But now that it’s done, I can pose it for just about whatever angle we’ll need it for in the future!
Thank you all for being so patient with me. We’re almost at Act 4 now!!
