1st image:

rainbow color palette: (will probably change)

zoom single wing: (50% normal <- 50% white) + 66% screen wings partially transparent (just fiddle with layer types until it looks right)

lower wing: (10% normal + 66% screen) 80%

2nd image:

can summon rainbow fire

1st aid kid in satchel bandages, scissors, painkillers… in case his wounds act up

eye & flame color tends to reflect the human soul most influencing him at any given time

true story: i originally wanted him to have headphones to mimic the big eyes dragonflies have but i couldn't really make it work, and i thought that didn't really fit the og character design so i gave it up, then i found this post talking about it and tried it again and it actually looks good??? so now he has headphones

also got the bag from this color redesign by @sandeewithtwoe, he did have a smaller one originally but having it placed parallel to his scar looked weird (plus it was kinda small for the amount of stuff he would carry), so now it's bigger & crossing his scar

transcript for the 3rd image:

No ❌ Yes ✔ (he uses his antennae to smell!!!)

likes light and shiny things (especially if dangerous)

antennae match his mood big eyes

honestly spider dream & nightmare were the easiest ones to place

i kinda wanted to keep it all lamtaf (the bug utmv), but i didn't have enough characters so all utmv, but i got stuck at the middle row and thought the Tower of the Gods trio would fit well in here so here we are

honestly Lea is a bit of a stretch, "I have no idea how I got here, even less where I am going" does fit, but she's more a victim of circumstance (like the others in the trio) and it's not (entirely) her fault.

Circ though fits literally every single column. one day this man centipede is going to kill someone.

I think Spider Dream could go into the "I'm making it everyone else's problem" column. He tries very hard not to make it other people's problem (and fails spectacularly).

finally, an actual love triangle

the triangle thing can be seen as platonic or romantic (personally i think whatever they've got going on transcends typical relationship but that might just be me)

1. He keeps small trinkets, one for each of his friends. He makes sure these are strange or esoteric objects, that he would never think of on his own, as a way to make sure they aren't fragments of his imagination. He updates them every so often.

2. Too much noise or too many people can make him easily overwhelmed. Ironically, he hates silence and empty spaces. He wears noise-cancelling headphones for that purpose, but always has music or a podcast on so he never hears complete silence.

3. He absolutely hates being alone.

4. The human souls are a constant presence in his life. He hears their thoughts and opinions as voices in his head, and they influence his every action. Sometimes they force him to do specific things or prevent him from doing what he wants.

5. He's a very social guy and loves hanging out with others. He wants to learn everything about everyone and discover all the cool places in the multiverse.

6. His wings are extremely fragile and tear easily. If they were to break, Color's natural healing powers would fix them in mere hours, though that wouldn't make it any less painful. When overwhelmed or panicked, he tends to have intrusive thoughts about ripping them apart. He has never once acted on them, yet they still weigh heavy on his mind.

7. He sometimes takes off his headphones to hear the sound of the waves, the wind in the trees, or the chirp of the birds.

8. His way of fixing problems is mostly waiting for them to go away. Although he wishes to be, he's not reliable or helpful when it comes to fighting the dangers of the multiverse.

9 (because why not : P). He technically has a residence in and full access to the omega timeline, even if he doesn't spend a lot of time there.

also here are the drawings without the doodles & without all the crazy colors

Now to tag more people...

1. @Goog-puppy Adium (he looks like he has a lot more to him than meets the eye)

2. @sprinklershake Zleebert (them knowing ASL and morse code is so neat vbdjklsf also curious if they got lore??) or Chimera (I love their antennae they are so cute)

3. AnnitArt Draco Sans (that is such a cool concept for a Sans honestly)

4. @error7227 Void's dawn Asgore (i just love his design)

5. @laly-481 Keywai-chain because HOW DID I NOT SEE HER SHE LOOKS SO CUTE NFUKDLBRFENFRSEHNFU

6. @mrblank-0 Endri (or really any Katanaverse character you have so many of them O_O)

7. anyone who wants to join!
