A few of the colour samples I've made of some Homestuck panels in the past year.
Do we ever talk about how much of a virtuoso colourist Hussie is? It's always astounded me how inspired the colour palettes are in Homestuck and it's a highly overlooked aspect of the visual appeal of Homestuck itself I wish got more notice.
Reading the whole essay here: https://www.tumblr.com/mspa-archive/813198962376998912/really-great-read-even-if-you-dont-know-or-care
that Hussie wrote a little while back about the program his father made* makes it clear that from a young age he sort of got an unorthodox initiation into advanced colour theory that obviously leant itself well into the medium of comic art. I only wish he weren't so soured on the whole idea of being an artist, even though I completely understand why, now moreso than ever. I'm probably one of maybe 5 total contemporary Homestuck fans who both knows of Whistles and desires a conclusion to it. Maybe someday.
*and quite a bit of heretofore unknown biographical details about his life that made some aspects of Homestuck all of a sudden really make sense. And yes, I acknowledge that his representation of certain events is questioned by some in the community but that is a whole bag of cats that I've absolutely no desire to wade into right now.
