Deconstructing Characters

The picture shown here best describes the color motif for my hero, Electro-Man. He uses a split complementary color scheme to make up his costume. Using yellow as his starting and main color to help represent his main power which is electricity. To accent his other attributes, split colors from the opposite side of the color wheel are used. The blue and the purple help to give him a bright and friendly appearance since he is a hero. This color motif makes my character stand out among the traditional super hero colors of red and blue.

Electro-Man being the hero stands out among the rest of the general population. He is shown in a strong light to represent that he is standing up for good and never stays into the darkness. He is an icon for people to see and believe in. He uses his image to give hope to the people of the city and show that their is still good in this world. The darkness around the image also represents the criminals and all the bad things that he stands up against. It is a good representation of the light at the end of the tunnel, in the midst of total darkness.

The lightning picture is a great representation of the shape and general structure of my super hero. The lightning has very straight lines with sharp edges giving it a look of power and speed. Electro-Man has a lot of sharp edges and a generally sleek design. He uses speed as one of his greatest weapons and what better to show speed than electricity. Which also happens to be his special ability. He can use electricity to move quickly and subdue enemies. The edges and straight lines also give the feel of a leader and person with passion and strong beliefs.

For the villain of the city I choose a character named Fire Show. He uses an analogous color scheme of red, orange, and yellow. All three colors are touching on the same side of the color wheel and work well with one another. He uses fire as his main weapon for causing destruction and terror within the city. These colors represent his passion and strength for superior control. These colors match his personality type and what he is willing to do to get what he wants.

The picture showed here is representing the light that my villain, Fire Show, is cast in. He uses the darkness and shadows of the night to his advantage. This helps him to remain off the radar when conducting criminal acts. This is also a good representation of the light the people of the city cast him in. He is the villain and is looked at in a negative light, so showing him in the darkness is fitting. The darkness of the picture also helps to illustrate the amount of evil he possesses. He is a dark and often misunderstood individual.

One of Fire Show's biggest strengths is his agility and strength. I choose this picture because of the smooth curves and sharp tips. Fire Show's agility is due to his stream line flow and rounded parts that make up his overall design. The fire can also represent his power and use of flame to cause damage to the city. As well as his color scheme he uses in his costume. Fire is resilient and can move freely just as Fire Show is able to move around from building to building. The top of the fire is very sharp and shows power and self-efficiency.
