Visual Langauge - Captain Character, Colour scheme

Now that the design and poses had been worked on i drew out an accurate pose of my character and photocopied it to see what possible colour palettes i could use.

These colours were made using copic markers, the hood and cloak is a nice colour but my attempt at merging the green and brown on the body didn't really look very good. I didn't really mind the green colour colour but i think it would work with a different colour to compliment it as the black robe is a bit off along with the brown and the blue smoke is way out of place (i thought it would work with the green but both colours are too bright.

I tried a different media with the next one, pencil crayons. I kept the green bones which wasn't too bad, removing the brown from the body. the paler colours were really bad though as they weren't as striking as the darker colours along with not being very appealing as a combination, they don't portray his dark atmosphere.

I might of gone over board with the dark colours here, the green against the black is nice but a different colour for the body however these are basically the colours of plague knight which isn't good as it isn't helping carve out any individuality to the character.

With this palette i thought about your, almost stereotypical villain colours, gloomy off colour, blacks for villianary and purples for poison. I was worried that the purple would look off in the image but it works nicely as an accent colour, working alongside the black robe and the off white bone and the hints of yellow in the bone compliment the purple but don't over power the other colours.

The final one i didn't finish because i immediately didn't like the red with the blue, the brownish bones look nice but his clothes colours are too bright and don't work with his personality or his design.

I chose the purple and black design as it made the character seem evil and unique as well as keeping him interesting. He has the right level of ominousness as well as being colourful enough to portray the silliness and cowardice of his character traits.
