Main Enemy Characters, Cockroach Mini Bosses - Colour Variations


Once i had done with the cockroach turnaround design i started with the colour combinations by looking back at the research and found that the shade of the colours used for the cockroach are what distinguish the cockroach from other insects and so i began to use very dark and between light and dark shades for the colour combinations on the cockroach to show that the character is neither as evil as the rat nor good as Ned but in between but on the side of bad. So i went along with this and use more of the dark shades of colour but also colours that are between the light and dark aspects of colours such as the oranges and the browns and from this i began to work around the colour combinations to use not the one aspect of colour combinations but use different colours for the body, limbs and back shell of the cockroach. Once again there wasn't much of a difference of colours and so i kind of lingered on the same area of colours which although don't look too close to each other it is very instant if you look back at each of the colour combinations as the only difference is the brighter aspect of the colour which makes the choice in the cockroaches colours limited however in the final colour combination cockroach i tried to merge most of the colours used and single out certain areas to which i feel will work quite well if chosen.

In fact we had deciced together that the final colour combination is what worked well because it uses various colours to distinguish certain areas and allows the character to stand out. Also we felt that because the colours don't linger in either dark or light colours but instead in between it works well as it holds that creepy, crawly instinct when seen based on the colours.
