Re: JR’s Characters

Thanks Scatman. Eye was inspired by you for that one, eye think you’ll know which one (eye think eye should stop talking like this)

Son4, it’s hard to answer that question because it’s different for every one. Good tips are, concentrate on what sort of hero you are creating, a night-time hero like Batman, Punisher or Daredevil will have generally dark colours (blacks, greys, dark reds/blues) for example. I usually keep to a small range of colours for costumes, 4 being the maximum, otherwise the costume ends up being to overworked and you have one of Kitty Pryde’s 80’s costumes and no-one wants that. When making teams try to make them look like they belong together, unless you are going for the Justice League/ Avengers deal. Try to give a repeating colour scheme, you don’t have to use the colours in the same way like the Fantastic Four do, but shared costumes are the easiest way of saying ‘this is a team’. So far your guys are all looking pretty good on the colour scheme front. Just give thought to how you are going to design your main bad guy now, you’ve used a lot of black and red so far, so find the opposite to use for your villain. Villains should always be the opposite of the heroes when it comes to costume, Superman and Spider-Man both wear Red and Blue so Lex Luthor and Green Goblin dress in green and purple. Batman wears dark, muted colours, so Joker wears loud, vibrant colours.
Hope this helps.
