Spent almost 3 hours figuring out a colour palette for this scene and I'm pleased with the results (I ended up with two palettes!)! It's a huge load off my chest because new colour palettes are one of the toughest things to figure out, for me.
The first palette I came up with was image 1. The overall colour scheme of AB has always been in hues of whites, pinks and reds, so I guess it looks okay-ish. It feels pretty whimsical and fairytale-like. BUT I also feel like it's a little too...girly?
What I really wanted was something more masculine and military-like. The premise of AB is pretty mushy to begin with, so I wanted this scene to look a little grittier before everything completely devolves into a mush fest 😂 (Ironically, I am actually a very unromantic person IRL 😂😂). SO I did another tweak and came up with image 2. Which I actually like a lot more!
I THINK I'll be using image 2, but I'm undecided yet. What do you guys think?
Also I think I might actually paint this episode in the MPL cell shading style. It's much faster andmore systematic than the watercolour style, because I rely heavily on 'happy accidents' when using the watercolour style. We'll see!
