#I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS ART AND THIS ANIME

“This is a time of mourning for all Autobots. The Decepticons, in their endless cruelty, have snuffed out one of the brightest Autobot sparks in generations.”

I've been absolutely, totally, inexorably captured by @glyphwrites ' fic Lion's Den. The characters development, the world building, the incredible detailing and attention put in Decepticon culture, the super slow burn of two (2) gay robots... My hand itched and I absolutely needed to draw some scenes from it. This one is one of my fav, but there are at least two more I hope to be able to draw hgfdsafd -The intro of this song is what I imagined playing in the background, found it fitting for the situation with the vibes and text❤️ What happened here I cannot say, make yourself a gift and go read it!

I think 90% of my gripes with how modern anime looks comes down to flat color design/palettes.

Non-cohesive, washed-out color palettes can destroy lineart quality. I see this all the time when comparing an anime's lineart/layout to its colored/post-processed final product and it's heartbreaking. Compare this pre-color vs. final frame from Dungeon Meshi's OP.

So much sharpness and detail and weight gets washed out and flattened by 'meh' color design. I LOVE the flow and thickness and shadows in the fabrics on the left. The white against pastel really brings it out. Check out all the detail in their hair, the highlights in Rin's, the different hues to denote hair color, the blue tint in the clothes' shadows, and how all of that just gets... lost. It works, but it's not particularly good and does a disservice to the line-artist.

I'm using Dungeon Meshi as an example not because it's bad, I'm just especially disappointed because this is Studio Trigger we're talking about. The character animation is fantastic, but the color design is usually much more exciting. We're not seeing Trigger at their full potential, so I'm focusing on them.

Here's a very quick and messy color correct. Not meant to be taken seriously, just to provide comparison to see why colors can feel "washed out." Top is edit, bottom is original.

You can really see how desaturated and "white fluorescent lighting" the original color palettes are.

[Remember: the easiest way to make your colors more lively is to choose a warm or cool tint. From there, you can play around with bringing out complementary colors for a cohesive palette (I warmed Marcille's skintone and hair but made sure to bring out her deep blue clothes). Avoid using too many blend mode layers; hand-picking colors will really help you build your innate color sense and find a color style. Try using saturated colors in unexpected places! If you're coloring a night scene, try using deep blues or greens or magentas. You see these deep colors used all the time in older anime because they couldn't rely on a lightness scale to make colors darker, they had to use darker paints with specific hues. Don't overthink it, simpler is better!]

Looks like drawing them once or twice wasn't enough, I needed to see them be glamorous ✨

Reference is the iconic shot in Clothes dont make the turtle from ROTTMNT! One of my favorite shows

A reminder that Kira not only knows how to play the violin, but has won the second (or third, I'm not sure) place award in a violin competition. Do you know what that means? This evil mf is probably extremely good at it, even when he's holding back.

So.. I let my intrusive thoughts take over and decided to draw him performing one of the most famous and hauntingly beautiful violin concertos out there, the Mendelssohn concerto in E minor. It suits him so well and I feel like he would eat this concerto up. I definitely recommend you to listen to the whole thing! It's such an elegant musical piece!
