***IMPORTANT*** Seasonal Colors feat. Nail

Description

OK So I'm using my Experiment character Nail for a reference for a problem we have been getting a lot lately.

This guide is to show you how seasonal colors on an Experiment should roughly look.
The left hand side is the proper way to make seasonal colors, the right hand side is the absolute most wrong way.
Problem is, we're seeing a LOT of people completely change the color palettes of their characters for a season.

Advice and Rules to the colors:
- Pick one color as your default color so your other colors are based around it. This also helps for others drawing your characters so they know what color you would like best.
(This is a personal preference of mine so that if I'm not doing RP related artwork I can use my favorite colors to have people draw him.)
- The colors should never be too far off from the original tones of the default color. A red character may not turn blue in the winter, or vise versa. Pinkish red is OK!
- Stick with using the Saturation tool rather than the Hue tool if you want simple editing.
- Even if your character has an ability that in some way changes their color, seasonal coloring must still be like the left hand side.
- Same rules apply to markings. Seasons should not alter markings/patterns in any way unless it has something to do with an ability.

"The plates may be the only acception to the rule, as I'm more okay with those having the intense color shift (like LCL's Arkem)...but for the most part I'd still prefer the saturation and not the hue being altered. Everyone who had their character approved before now won't have to change their character or anything because it's my fault for not making things more clear." - Quoted from pissnvinegar



If you need to have any questions answered about any of these, or you're just unsure in general, please contact us Admin for help!
Please ask us first before confirming a character with an ability that alters colors, shapes, or just in general, because we CANNOT have multiple of the same ability.
We always have keep track of who has what ability, so it's best to ask us first. C:


More information may be added to this when it is needed. Otherwise, thank you for reading. :D

PS: Yes, those are Nail's actual seasonal colors on the left side. I don't have time to make a complete reference now, but expect those on it.

Yay for a decent reference to show the color changes! I did notice it as well but this really clears it up on how that works.  And.. Who doesn't like to see Nail.
