Archie the Archer 37 years old - Base Color WIP by Hortelaaa on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Here's the full color for Archie!
I'm almost finished. Might finish him while livestreaming today (or not).

Seems like people liked the colors I used on him. I'm glad, because I used the same colors for him as before. I just made the palette a little more consistent. I was thinking on making his hood black, but I guess using green is more on pair with his older (or, in this case, younger) versions.

Now his leather gear are all the same color scheme, so it matches more and doesn't give out the feeling of "too much information" it gave before. At least... I think so.

Here's an older version of his design for comparison:

At least to me, it feels like too much information on the colors and on his design as a whole.

And a more recent one:

In this new version... I made the gloves the same color as his leather armor. And only THAT made it SO MUCH better. I guess it's a good lesson to learn: Repeat colors! It makes the design more consistent and pleasant to the eyes.

Talk about improvement and glow-up, huh?
