✶ i was tagged thrice for this so i'll be doing another for tessellate and maybe one for nordhaven. i wanted to start with hallowmire because i feel like there's a really nice journey behind it. this project blossomed during a time where i felt as if i was going through the motions and was a little burnt out. i wanted to push my own boundaries to create something that felt immersive yet magical. fantasy is something i've always wanted to explore but felt intimidated like it was something out of my league. what a perfect time to try something challenging

✶ unlike tessellate, each characters doesn't have a designated color, however, the world itself is where certain color groups pull through. the initial concept was every world would focus on deep greens, browns and a general bronze-y color. from the media i've viewed, brown tends to dominate steampunk colors, so i wanted to add in the green to break up the similar colors to add more depth. i began to run into issues as each world, even with lighting mods, shifts subtly in color as well as details were being lost in the background which was vital for immersion. oddly enough, i thought a lot about dragon age and the dark crystal where there is a lot of changing in environments. i thought a lot about how everything was cohesive yet different. so i started molding my editing to a clear image as well as creating a preset that could bring cohesiveness to a changing world.

✶ Ravenwood heavily focuses on glimmery metallics, jewel tones with that pop of moody and gothic Victorian colors (lmao the color black and brown-). i originally had intended for faded, lower contrast images but too many details were getting lost in the process. also! contrast just makes magic pop! idk how to describe it but the dream-y yet sharp highlights (?) is the signature of hallowmire and the thing that brings everything together!

✶ Innisgreen was was like how in the hell do I add color to this world?? I wanted it to feel magical and otherworldly. I spent a lot of time looking at art. (Here is my art tag on my other blog showcasing a lot of the people I was inspired by.) really trying to understand how certain values were being pulled and how certain color combinations worked in a fantasy setting. I focused a lot on ethereal blues, magentas, and cyans, while the pops of earthy tones brings Innisgreen back to the world.

✶ Forgotten Hollow was so stinking difficult. an actual challenge that took a few weeks and several reshoots. i wanted the exterior to be devoid, sorta dilapidated to represent the true nature of the Immortalis. It's bleak, dystopian and oppressive. While on the inside, everything is monochromatic in rich browns and expensive golds, red is the color that pops, connecting the manor to the Sanguis.

✶ there's a lot more i can dive into for the other worlds LMAOO but i've yapped quite a bit so i'll wrap it up! there are so many edits i was unable to include but i do look back fondly on each of them as well as how i've grown throughout. it's helped me better understand lighting, values and color grading as well as allowed me to grow in my ability to draw! i eventually want to combine both styles without sacrificing clarity so that is my next focus! thank you for reading if you did. you can catch the story here if you're curious ;_; <3

Colour Theory is my Passion - Tag Game

Tag Game is by @m0n0lithical and tagged by the lovely @niecjing!

This time the colours are red, black and white, and the featured Sim is Oskar. Much like Violeta, you can probably guess that I use these colours a lot for him because they're strongly associated with vampires. There's nothing more intelligent behind that. Just gives off that vampire-y look! Also everyone looks good in black and white ;)
