Color Palette Thumbnails

   Let round two of my color palette exploration begin! I have been learning so much about how color conveys mood while playing around with this technique---it's been so much fun!
   In an effort to broaden my range of possibilities, I tried applying what I've learned to a different subject matter: sword design. I chose the keyword "demon" for the left sword, and tried painting in a palette that would convey the mood of that selected trait--which for me invoked a strong need for purple, with blood red accents. I then tried the opposite. Through my analagous palette test on the right, I discovered that yellow is the most heroic color to me when kept dominant in the warm palette. I used that knowledge to thumbnail out a "Hero's" blade--originally I had a splash of blue (triadic color scheme) in there as well, but found the effect was stronger without it.
  A September catch up post will be coming some time next week! Until then, color~
