sdtwbaj Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 For the Zo'ra, there's a queen that sort of revolves around heaven, culture, art etcetera. Her color is very much caramel-like, but I suggest it be changed to much brighter, almost albino-esque version of Zo'ra, which would be a light red or almost pinkish color, and a much lighter, almost sandy brown for the bound. The queen is Ta'Akaix' Athvur'zekt'azi Zo'ra. I suggest the new colors: Unbound - 255 135 135 Bound Warrior- 199 133 101 Bound Worker - 254 128 96
Conspiir Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Heyo, Conspire here. I helped with the coloring of the Unbound and Bound workers for the Zo'ra and as far as I'm aware, the changes suggested still stand at this time. We (this being Falco and I) knew all Zo'ra should be red. That's what set them apart from the K'lax. Red vs Green. The main problem we faced was that there's only so many shades of red and they all have to be distinct and they all have to relate to another version of the same red for both Bounds and Unbounds. By the time we got through all the colorings, our heads kinda hurt. We didn't even suggest anything for the Bound Warriors. We did what we could to match the lore (Ice planet bugs = a cooler, almost purple. Desert planet bugs = orange, rusty, dusty color). And Bygone approved. At the time, I know I was going off of the idea that Athvur'zekt'azi is related to Vaur'skiyet'sca, which we established as a darker color. So we suggested a lighter version of Vaur'skiyet'sca for her. Looking at what you've suggested, I could see it as being this lighter, peacher version. I will make the following suggestion, simply to make it easier to remember the RGB color scheme for the character creator: Unbound of any type: (RGB 255, 131, 131) Bound Warriors: (RGB 201, 131, 101) Bound Workers: (RGB 255, 131, 91) Essentially the same colors, but matches the way the other Zo'ra colors are aligned. This is, in the end, [mention]Bygonehero[/mention]'s call. So let's get 'em down here.
Bygonehero Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Its best to avoid brighter colors, as they reduce the detail on individual sprites. Additionally Athvur'zekt'azi is related to Vaur'skiyet'sca. The colors we have selected, as Conspiir said, aren't arbitrary.That's what this suggested change feels like, an arbitrary one.
sdtwbaj Posted December 30, 2017 Author Posted December 30, 2017 I found when I was looking at these colors that they don't necessarily mess with the detailing. Vaur'skiyet'sca has rather vanilla looking coloration. Standard reds, fairly close to normal Zo'ra coloration. Currently, Athvur'zekt'azi goes darker than her mother, but I think she could stand to go lighter instead. Other than providing some nice color variation for the Zo'ra, it also helps push her VR lore a little more, since it's described as heavenly.
