“The police just left your house. Should I be worried?”

It’s Color Theory EP 23.

Violet and Scarlett

Trivia

This marks the first appearances of Paige, Scarlett, Clarence, and Aziz. The former three previously appeared in Rough Sketch, the latter debuts here. This is also the first time Siren appears in the flesh.

Olive makes her first appearance since her debut.

Scarlett inherited Rosie’s old name from the original continuity. The names “Violet” and “Scarlett” came around about a month before Gamefreak agreed it was a good idea.

This episode debuts a new background style with geometric blocks of color to partially convey movement.

This episode also dabbles in consistent leitmotifs for certain characters; in this case, Scarlett, Clarence, and Aziz.

Aziz’s setup shows “Sore Losers” playing in the background. Coincidentally, that was Rosie’s debut episode.

No Gray Drewmans appear.

“Comment allez-vous (How are you), what’s up with you?”

It’s Color Theory EP. 25

‘Ello, Elo, Y’ello

Trivia

This marks the first appearance of Eloise and Amber, having gone by “Skye” and “Charlie” in the old continuity. Incidentally, Olive and Paige used to have their names.

This is the first episode since “Back Again, I See” in which all six core characters appear.

Lyman is seen without his jacket, Bryan his vest, and Peony her ascot for the first time. We see Peony’s hair down.

No Grey Drewmans appear. Geneva is also the only Red Drewman in the main cast to have debuted by this point and not be present.

Peony’s parasol debuts here.

This episode ends a mini-arc starting with “Violet and Scarlett” where the door is busted down.

Nobody in the Oobay-Monade household is seen in their regular clothes. This is subsequently the first time J.’s eyes are seen in full.

Chloe wears a sleep mask, much like her original continuity counterpart does.

This episode aired, although doesn’t necessarily take place, on Lyman’s birthday.

“YOU BROUGHT. PEOPLE. INTO MY LAB?”

It’s Color Theory EP 22.

Factory Reset

Trivia

This is the first appearance of Chloe or Angie since “You Live Like This?” and of Geneva since “Walk the Dog”. This is also the first episode Geneva appears without Ingrid.

Chloe’s lab returns after not being seen since the second episode.

Several of Chloe’s trademark inventions debut here, including the robot claw and her Happy Hammer. The massive gun Tanner is seen with is a prototype of the far smaller lasers seen later on.

While Chloe’s eyes are always visible when viewed from the side, this is the first time she’s seen without glasses.

Ragdoll Chloe is a just visual gag. She is not secretly a ragdoll, nor will she ever be.

No violet or yellow Drewmans appear.

Random Lines of Dialogue I May Never Get to Use in It’s Color Theory

Violet: It’s amazing what you can accomplish through emotional suppression!

Rudy: You middle urinal of a living being. 

J.: You can’t kill me in any way that matters.

Gordon: We can’t kill you at all!

Angie: (About to punch someone) I think this needs a woman’s touch.

Gordon: I wanna do something so out of character the message boards will whine about for years to come!

Chloe: (Collapsed on the ground, deadpan) Want some blood? I’m clearly not using it.

Bryan: Unyielding rage, my old friend, how I’ve missed you!

Peony: I…I never want to hear any of those words again.

Geneva: Not even “the”?

Peony: ESPECIALLY NOT “THE”!

Lyman: I can see your intrusive thoughts.

Coco: Everyone shut up, I’m dissociating.

Aziz: Why are you this kind of person?

Noah: Hey, if I hit on every available adult in the vicinity, statistically somebody has to love me back.

Paige: (To Martin) You sure do talk a lot for someone nobody listens to.

Scarlett: Can somebody just say the title of the episode so this whole thing can end?

Aziz: You don’t even deserve to hear my lame excuse. I’m out of here.

Sylvester: I’m right behind you, aren’t I?

Crimson: Turns out putting up emotional walls is terrible for your social life. Who knew?

Clarence: I want my life back, Dullsville.

“AWAY WITH YOU TIME IS NOW!”

It’s Color Theory EP 16.

You Live Like This?

Trivia

After being mentioned in the previous comic, this marks the debut of Oz Square, the Bad Part of Town and the first time we see one of the subdivisions of Dullsville outside of the one the core cast lives in.

This marks the first appearance of Tyler in the It’s Color Theory universe, having gone by “Ringo” in Rough Sketch. This also marks the debuts of Bobbie, Charlie, and Dwight.

Tyler being the guy Ingrid and Geneva had previously beat up off screen was decided after the previous comic was written but before this one was. Adding him in made his introduction easier. The girls’ mentioned landlord would’ve filled his approximate role.

Siren was originally going to be the one to drop them off. This was scrapped both for pacing and because it would leave Rudy, Angie, Chloe, and Bryan stranded in Oz Square, the Bad Part of Town.

No Yellow or Gray Type Drewmans appear.

This is the second episode in which someone dies. In this case, Tyler is hit in the head by a door.

Ingrid’s parents (Alyson and Phyllis) and Geneva’s grandfather (Ezra) all cameo as pictures in the background.

A month passed between when the story was boarded and when the dialogue was written, meaning several details changed: The cutaway when Rudy is talking to Tyler originally had dialogue; Geneva was initially meant to cap off her story with something to the effect of “And that’s how I met your mother”-this was changed to prevent her from dropping two non sequiturs in a row; similarly, she was meant to misidentify Tyler as a tax collector, Ingrid’s nonchalant response serving to correct her; Rudy’s appeal to Tyler was initially to unconvincingly promise Ingrid and Jen wouldn’t attack him again, to which Tyler agreed to (the fact Rudy was already sporting a smug expression made it easy to change to a threat); finally, Bryan and Geneva’s final exchange was initially a one liner by Angie.

Tyler was completely right. He’d destroy Ingrid and Geneva in a fair fight since Geneva lacks technique and Ingrid isn’t all that strong on her own. Angie would’ve smoked him, though.

Siren let the girls go early on good behavior. Given that all the other law enforcers are superheroes that can level cities, she can afford to be lenient.

This comic takes place about half a day after the previous one. The ending is around ten in the morning; Violet is not a morning person.

Character profiles for the six main characters are finally linked in the pinned post.

[enteringdullsville]

Angie O’Jayes, the Orange Drewman

Be Fierce

Rank: A+ (Main Protagonist)

Aesthetic: Awesome

Character Bases

Dullsville’s Ferocious Tigress

Angie is an unstoppable force of nature. Third oldest of ICT’s six founding members, strongest person of her weight class in Dullsville, great at basically every sport, and able to slash bone into two with her signature hockey stick. So why bother with It’s Color Theory at all?

Well to put it bluntly, she’s bored and she owes Violet one, so why not?

Angie’s tough as nails and has more than earned her slight egotism, and while she’s not exactly a genius, she’s generally pretty on the ball. She’s plenty energetic on the field, but lazy basically everywhere else and seems perfectly content with snarking at everyone around her and occasionally pulling pranks. Funny how she’s the most functional of the six.

Fun Facts

Angie’s name is a play on orange.

Angie was the last Primary Character to be created. Originally she was their designated “Sixth Ranger” before being promoted to main character during Rough Sketch and starting off as one in It’s Color Theory.

Angie, along with J. bares the least resemblance to her initial design. Ironically, she’s the one most unchanged in personality.

Angie is the only Primary Character not to be visually based on a preexisting character, aside from a facial resemblance to Krillin from Dragon Ball.

Angie’s fang was added on to her design during the RS era. She maintains it in ICT.

Angie, like a few other Drewmans, has a distinct cat motif. In her case, her striped clothes, orange skin, and one fang are all reminiscent of a tiger.

Angie’s surname is based on OJ, or orange juice, as well as sounding stereotypically Irish.

Angie’s human form is not the only redhead in Season One’s cast, but she is the only ginger.

Angie’s eyes, despite how they are drawn, still appear illuminated (albeit orange) in the dark.

Angie (orange) incidentally resembles a cross between Rudy (red) and Gordon (yellow). Her distinctive eyes combine Rudy’s round ones and Gordon’s beads, her curly hair resembles Gordon’s texture and Rudy’s volume, and she’s roughly between the two in height and build.

Angie’s hair color in human form is the exact same as her Drewman skin tone. With the obvious exception of Coco (and for some reason, this doesn’t apply to Noah), she is the only character in the main cast with this distinction.

Angie maintains a violent fear of spiders from RS.

Angie tends to notice things that about the cartoon world that even Violet takes for granted. For example, they agree that it’s weird that they have four-fingered hands…but why acknowledge it? There’s nothing else to compare them too. It’s still a mystery, oooooooooo…..

[enteringdullsville]

“Muriel”, Angie’s first design. She was made a fair bit after the other five Primary characters, being more of a side character at this point. This carries into her role throughout RS’ first season; she had less screen time than the other five and debuted long after them.

On the left is Angie’s scrapped characterization as a goofier character, chibified for stylistic effect. The design was recycled from Geneva’s prototype…and was eventually given back to her. On the right is her design in her sole physical appearance in RS’ pilot run, in the tenth and final episode. The final two episodes had a lineless style to them.

Angie in her Rough Sketch debut in comparison to how she looks later on. In the middle is a clearer look at how her shirt looks without her vest obscuring it. The “1” vanishes from her design by the end of the season.

Angie in Rough Sketch’s second season. She gained her trademark fang about a fourth of the way through.

Angie in RS’ third season. Her current tastes in clothing are cemented here.

Concept art of Angie for ICT.

Angie as she appears in It’s Color Theory. She’s a far darker, redder shade of orange in the current continuity.

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn the whole group.

[enteringdullsville]

It’s Color Theory Ep. 1

The Violet Act

Trivia:

This is the first episode of the series with a 2x2 panel structure; this structure becomes the norm as of episode 15.

This marks the debut of the Primary Six, the Oobay-Monade household, and (by extension) Chloe’s Lab.

All the characters appear in their designated order as seen in most supplementary materials.

Knowledge of the fourth wall is passively common knowledge, but (as Angie touches upon) ICT is the only group to give it any real thought.

Unlike later episodes, Violet’s pupils become narrow slits with rage, as opposed to widening.

Angie’s smug grin, Rudy’s bristling hair, and J.’s gleaming eye all become character trademarks throughout the series.

It’s Color Theory EP 10.

Look Deep Inside

Trivia:

This is the first episode Lyman appears in since his debut back in episode three and his first speaking role.

Violet is the only Primary Character not to appear.

J.’s selective mutism debuts here. Notably, this is the first episode he appears in where there is written dialogue from other characters but he does not speak.

In this episode and certain ones after, Lyman’s sclerae display a mild reflective quality.

This is the first episode to show a character in their past. In this case, it is Chloe.

Peony is quick to try to dissuade Lyman from reading J., likely remembering her last encounter with the latter.

This is the first episode to have more than twelve panels.

Lyman’s aura vision was originally an ability he could not repress. While he still can’t turn it off, he can dial it down to a tolerable level.

Rudy and J. are directly stated to be brothers for the first time.

[enteringdullsville]

“Angie, I bench trucks.”

It’s Color Theory EP. 3

You and What Army?

Trivia:

The original plan was for Angie and Gordon to remain seated throughout the comic until the end. A cut panel shows Gordon actually about to arm wrestle Angie.

Gordon’s ludicrous physical power becomes a running gag as of this episode.

This is the first episode in which Violet, Rudy, J., and Chloe don’t appear, the first to give Gordon extended dialogue, and the first to introduce characters outside of the Primary Six.

This is also the first episode in which Gordon strikes his signature wide-eyed look.

This marks the debut of Bryan, Peony, and Lyman.

No violet-type Drewmans appear in this episode.

While the wedding rings in each other’s main colors was a visual indicator, this episode confirms Violet and Gordon to be married.

This is the first episode to have a scene take place outside.

Unfortunately, Angie’s left handed.

Character Bases

Angie’s eyes are based directly on those of Krillin, but I don’t have that kind of space.

Development

Angie was the last of the Primary Six to be designed, even if she still predates the vast majority of the cast. Her second design deviated pretty dramatically from her other designs’ characterization, but her rascally streak remained from then on and the design itself was recycled for Geneva. Note the lack of a fang.

Season Two of the Rough Sketch era marked the debut of Angie’s fang. For a while I struggled with drawing her face, alternating between leading the outline of her jaw into her eye or omitting it entirely.

Eventually I settled on the latter, making more room for her mouth to convey emotions. The series proper also makes her more visibly muscular.
