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!]

and if I make a miniscule adjustment to her color palette is it even noticeable

plus a bonus thing with her parents

ignoring the fact that they're not physically together at the moment

the secret to having everybody compliment your colors in your comics is to make every scene one color. this is the Green Scene and this is the Red Scene and now you are a genius

Mini comic time babyyy

This has been on my mind ever since I found out PJ just reverts to ink puddle form when extremely tired

Transcript;

Palette: Hey, Gradient?

Gradient: Yeah?

Palette: Why is there a giant black puddle in my kitchen?

Gradient: First of all, I’m offended that you assume I know what it is.

Palette: Okay?

Gradient: Second, that’s just PJ. Leave her alone if you value your life.

Palette: (I liked this mat…)

~ Long Silence ~

Palette: I’m sorry, WHAT?!

Gradient: (It’s your funeral!)

I would’ve drawn PuddleJam but I’ve got a plane ride in a few hours and I haven’t slept lol

Art club

Nightwatch ref sheet posting once again. Here’s the reference for art club (evil little children). While they definitely aren’t main characters they are important to the story as they reflect the adults around them. You have palette, son of the highly respected gaurdian Dream. Pj and Gradient children of the “temporarily” retired threat to the multiverse, Error. And Punk, adopted child of two loser doctors. These 12 yr old nerds have art skills in common and they come together to form the art club (sponsored by gaurdian of creators, Ink)

Don’t worry these are like some of the only characters who won’t be massively traumatized.

I’m excited for you guys to read them interacting because they have been fun to write so far. They are a good tool for lore building, I use them to explain how ship children exist (it’s not sex dw, no mpreg here folks sorry) and the lack of free will between creators and creations (Poor ink)

Anyways enjoy the designs, toodles
