Headcanon that Davepeta is that one friend who’s never seen without starbucks. They take cool pics of them at starbucks, either because they wanted to spread their love fir pumpkin spice latte all over instagram or because their name got misspelled (they always got “Dave Peeta” when a new hunger game movie just came out)
Headcanon that Davepeta are that one friend who knows every FOB’s song by heart and will start singing whenever they’ve got an opportunity.
I’m very grateful for all the compliments I got in tags on the Davepetasprite^2 piece. I saw several comments about the colours and lighting, and specifically about how I handled Davepeta’s palette:
so, Davepetasprite^2 does have one of the most garish, unharmonious palettes I’ve ever seen on any character (sorry Davepeta). When you’re faced with a palette like that, you’ve got to cheat your way around it by tweaking it. A lot.
Davepeta’s canon colours are:
But these are the colours I used in the painting:
1. The eye-hurting quality of the original colours comes from them being at 100% saturation, so I desaturated them first of all. This is all-important in my opinion, unless you’re going for that garish clashing neon look.
2. You can see I didn’t use anywhere near the “correct” green or orange. The key here is the intermediate colour, yellow. After identifying yellow as the unifying colour, I pulled all the colours closer to it, creating an analogous palette that spans from red-orange to green. Without any blue or purple in the palette, yellow becomes a sort of “reference point”, causing one to perceive all the colours around it as less yellow than they actually are. That’s the reason the colours still look “right”.
