color palette hell

Duplicate wolf-skull fullbodies; an attempt to figure out a palette, including grayscale versions and a potential color guide. Notes transcribed below:

  • Keith Voltron/Lucas & Ethan PKMN: stands out—too much?
  • monochrome: OK colors, kinda dull
  • Spicy! Yes: warm hues only. overkill?
  • burgundy: interesting… no purble tho.
  • Hmmm ok still not Satisfied but noticing A Pattern: same colors, same places
    • [hair and pants can have] similar values? but not always
    • 5 [outfit] colors: jacket + shoes, accent, trim, shirt + socks, pants
    • +2 [base] colors: skin [and] hair; [the] mask need not be exact, just Light
  • no matter how many palettes I mess with I keep goin back to this one… [red jacket, blue pants, dark shirt, light accents]
  • [next to a blue outfit with a suspicious resemblance to another character of mine] …wait.

At the end of all these: a silly doodle of wolf-skull lying T-posed on the ground, with all sorts of hues scribbled in. girl help (do u love hte colors of the character)
