I wanted to take a break from drawing large, technically exhausting pictures for a bit; so, I decided to experiment with Gali's color palate with a rough sketch of her regular clothes. As I was playing around with different colour schemes and pairings, I never really noticed how much colour plays a part into a character's personality. Just looking at the differences between each one really gives me an idea of what kind of person each one is-even without them saying or doing anything, which I think pretty neat. With this in mind, I really like how the first one's colour palate worked out. I'm hoping to do a larger picture with more details later on, hopefully with more energy and "liveliness" than my last one. (I feel like she was little stiff and that she wasn't as natural as I'd like her to be). **As a side note, because of some insightful feedback, I realized I didn't explain why I'm drawing things this way; this is why I want to share why Gali is still wearing a mask instead of just having her normal face showing. This is because for the series I'm writing/illustrating, "The Halfway", wearing masks is an extremely important part of the story and world these characters live in. The reason why everyone needs to wear them is based on major events that happened in the past and have huge implications for the plot; because of this, I've intentionally added and designed each character to look normal, except for masks covering their faces. And as a result, something looks off about the pictures; they look odd, strange, or uncomfortable, and these is exactly the feelings I want to convey. (More details about this can be found on my DeviantArt page: http://fav.me/dberb8n) What do you think? Do you have a favourite colour scheme, and if so, why? And as always, critique is welcome and appreciated.

They're totally going to reveal Jar-Jar as the super-rare bonus constructable figure that's valued really highly because his torso is made out of SOLID GOLD MIXED WITH PURE ANNOYANCE And while I'm doing this whole font and colour thing in my blog.. This Colour With Trebuchet MS (Unbolded) or This Colour With Courier New (Unbolded) I feel that the dark green with Trebuchet MS is much easier on the eyes and thus easier to read than the red-orange Courier New, especially when neither are bold. I may be biased since #1a6134 is my favourite colour. I also feel that the green is more... calming?... than the orange, which kind of seems to be... aggressive?... can colours inspire feeling? I know I'd much rather read a paragraph of #1a6134 than #cc3300. Speaking of typing... Why do you type in whatever font-colour combination you type in?

I have no idea which colour looks better Maybe this will do? A little more orange... no, too orange and too common. Perhaps something more like this? Too easy to mistake for brown. Alternatively, there's this... I think this is too yellow. Yellow isn't exactly a pleasant colour. Yeah, so how about thIIISS NO. TOO EYE-SEARING. Maybe this instead, if it weren't so bright? If it were a bit darker... No, wait. This is where we started. I guess that was pointless. And that's why I use whatever this colour is. Hey, BZP. How do we invent more colours? I imagine you're getting tired of all those overused BIONICLE colours, like RED and GREEN and BLUE and BROWN and BLACK and WHITE and GREY. Grey especially during 2008, and also silver. I forgot what I wanted to make this blog entry about, so I'll just leave some questions for BZPower below as usual: What is your favourite colour? Least favourite colour? Favourite combination of colours? Least favourite combination of colours? Most overused colour? Most underused colour? Darker colours or brighter colours? Apologies to the colourblind and also to anyone who does not like colours.
