One of the people I am supposed to critique did not have there assignment posted. I emailed Makella.

Yichen Li and her partner created a sense that the hero and villain were from the same universe well by using affinity in the shapes of the characters and by using an analogous color scheme between characters.  The villains shirt uses color brightness changes well to show wrinkles. The hues used in the hero are blue and yellow which are complementary to each other and the red cape makes the hero’s color scheme analogous. I think that the characters could be improved by adding more saturation of the colors used to suggest depth and shadow in certain areas. I think that the villains main color hue was a good decision. Purple was perfect because it helps us as viewers subconsciously realize that the character is a villain because purple is a very sinister color. Great work.

Yuxi Li did a great job on her character design.  The lighting on her hero was especially well done. She did a great job using different values and amounts of saturation of green on the characters clothing to show depth and detail.  The position of the characters arms and body are in a pose that helps to show the symbolism of being a peaceful, serine, and almost godlike protector. The hues she chose were also well thought out. The majority of the character is made up of different saturations of green blue and yellow which are all analogous and the orangish red scarf helps create contrast and guide your eye through the image in a way that didactically feeds the viewer information about the character.
