JorgeSantiagoJr Colors

Tumblr post

So one night I was thinking about color theory and how much I like JorgeSantiagoJr‘s Mob Psycho 100 pinup, and wound up coloring it for fun!  (Luckily I got to wimp out on rendering since Jorge did so much of that in the inks, haha…)

Since the original illustration was inspired by Akira, I was thinking about how the movie used a lot of red-green color contrast, but just used that thought as a springboard for palette experimentation rather than looking up any reference or trying to match Akira’s style.
