Primary Research / Problem Solving – Audience Feedback – Character Colour

After starting up a questionnaire for my colour research, I created my sets and went about collecting the answers so that I may final finalise my character research and move forward into other researching key points. The first question was about Centurion. When asking these questions I made sure to fully explain the character so that people understood who they are designing for. Out of the two sets for the knight character, G/R/B pulled through. The idea for my creation will be to use the Red for the cloak around the character like a traditional knight but also to infer anger hidden in plain sight. The Grey is clear to be a main armour colour with the Black being the main choice for the blade, this to signify grief and loss.

Velocity is one of the two animal characters I created so I needed to include colours that could reflect the fur of the beast. The winner of this question was the G/Y/B. This set in my opinion is the more freedom giving of the two as it allows me to create the shapes of Black fur spots over the Yellow fur. This signifies the grief of his character plaguing his bright vibrant lifestyle. the Grey again, similar to above, is for the metallic features.

Clemency/Ruthless is by far the most complex in terms of design. Due to the split personality style, but this also gives leeway to more creative outcomes to show these contrasts. The winner of these sets was the W/B/Y & B/R/P, while unfortunately the other set had a more spiritual like outlook, this set allows me to follow that neo type universe I intend to create and explore. These colour choices are vibrant but harshly contrasting the other, each representing the traits of their style. Be it love and care or hate and pain.

W/R/B came through at the question over Regicide. This allows me to follow the contrast in my murky wound feature, especially with the White fur against it. The Red of his blades expressing the anger flourishing of his rage and hatred. This is the key feature of the character and needs this point to come across with looks and colour choice.

This final choice went to the Y/B/Y set. This was a last minute set inspired by seeing construction workers. Something about the hazardous colour choice with the mysterious background fits well with the leader character. The machine aspect of the character also fits well and brings fear to the games, a clear contrast to how mistreated the main character was in the past and now.

With these answers I have now been equipped with the knowledge need to move onto other research points and issues. Next I will move on to my Geographical research topic including world building / broadcasting and other pieces I need to showcase my world.
