Hero/Villain Critique

Jordan Bond's Blog: http://jbond00777.blogspot.com/
Jordan's hero/villain combo begins with a strong contrast in color. The hero has two color forms, a blue and a yellow, both of which are bright and heavily saturated.  The villain, however, has a very dark color palette, being mostly gray and black, with bits of darker color on its head and hat.  His colors are much more muted, darker, and less saturated than the hero's colors.  This contrast actively sets them apart in the viewer's mind by pointing toward different motivations and opposing alignments.  This is due to the purity of the colors, and their hue.  The hero comes across as more pure because his colors are pure and unmarred.  In addition, his colors didactically show his state of being.  This may not seem significant at first, but the transparency create a connection between the viewer and the hero that is missing with the villain.  The villain's colors are much less bright, and therefore not pure, which conveys a dark intent.  Also, they mask his state of mind, creating an uncomfortable disconnect between the viewer and the villain which creates negative feelings in the viewer toward the villain.  The hero is actually somewhat complex in his color scheme because his color depends on whether he is awake or asleep.  Each form is simple in color with heavy saturation, but the brightness and hue depends on his state of consciousness.

On this blog, there is only one character posted, and it is very hard to determine what to make of it because of that.  This is interesting because it shows that the meanings of a character's traits are completely relative to the the world in which the character exists.  This character specifically is difficult to categorize because he is wearing neutral colors that could be used for a hero or a villain.  The character's posture and expression would seem to point toward him being a hero, but the things he stands for would point me toward the opposite conclusion (probably only because of my own values).  The fact that he is wearing complementary colors also points toward his heroic nature because their hues and medium brightness are somewhat calming.  Apart from these observations, though, no conclusions can be made since there is nothing to compare or contrast with.
