Hey, resident colorist in the thread! I'm wondering something! I don't know if these comics are in your syndicate, but even if you have no connection with them, you might be able to make an educated guess...Johnny Walker posted:Mary Worth A lot of the characters in Mary Worth seem to like wearing single-tone lounge suits. This makes sense for an old lady like Mary Worth, but it also shows up on small children, trophy wives, and happnin' college kids. It seems like an odd choice. How does this happen? Is the colorist being consistently too lazy to pick separate colors for the tops and pants (though the background characters would seem to disprove this theory), or has the task of creating Mary Worth propelled the writer/artist to such depths of insanity that they are actually specifying "MAKE DAWN DRESS ALL IN PURPLE, COLOR PEONS"? Selachian posted:Pros and Cons The coloring in Pros and Cons, on the other hand, is consistently well done, with subtle touches that would be hard to envision in a lot of other strips. People in this room have different skin tones! That man's shirt collar is a different color than his jacket! The lawyer character (who does not appear today) wears a vest where the front is clearly a different fabric than the back. This smacks of effort! Is this likely a case of Meehan specifying how he wants things colored, or is this a case of a colorist liking the comic and wanting to make it look nice? Here's a comic that's a waste of some poor color drone's effort: Luann  And some better ones! The Amazing Spider-Man  Does Dr. Strange not have any wizard friends? What if a nice wizard wants to visit and have some tea? Does buddy get zapped? Sally Forth  I AGREE, CES. Uh... Colorist? Why did Ted switch to salad in the last panel? The Heart of Juliet Jones

Julet Esqu posted:Hey, resident colorist in the thread! I'm wondering something! I don't know if these comics are in your syndicate, but even if you have no connection with them, you might be able to make an educated guess... Hey there! These are mostly outside my syndicate with the exception of Luann. Let me answer your questions as best I can. I can say that workload and deadlines play into the laziness and/or weird choices by colorists. I'm guilty of this. If you're not given consistent guidance by the cartoonist and/or you're not paying attention, you fall into a "get this poo poo done as quickly as possible" funk, especially with older strips. Every strip has a palette, but you can't account for every single scenario with just one palette, so you often have to improvise. When I color Peanuts, I have to color the same strip twice. Every week, I have to color one strip, and then repeat the entire process with the next strip, the only difference being that the second strip is a little taller. Schulz is long dead, so the only guidance I've ever received from Peanuts was, "Keep the backgrounds pastel and not so dark." That's it. My coworker who colors Big Nate, on the other hand, gets emails from Lincoln Peirce CONSTANTLY because Peirce looks at every single strip on GoComics and he makes note of every inconsistency. You develop a stricter and more consistent palette based on the creator's involvement, and your natural talent as a colorist comes into play as well. Stephan Pastis does not like yellow backgrounds. That's all the advice I got when I was handed coloring duties on Pearls Before Swine last week. Luckily I get to color Phoebe and Her Unicorn, and Dana Simpson is both encouraging and consistently helpful. We have a freelancer color Luann, and I pray every day I won't ever have to color it myself. I already have to color Close to Home and it's awful. tl;dr: the more guidance creators give colorists, the better. But most strips don't receive that much guidance regarding color, which results in inconsistencies and weirdness.

Julet Esqu posted:Sally Forth Little know fact: Muffins are actually salad cleverly woven together into a more pleasing shape/colour, to trick people into eating healthy food. By breaking a muffin into its constituent parts Ted is exposing the truth to the world! Also I like how they managed to gently caress up the continuity on the Muffin/salad which is both important to the plot and pretty front and center, but still got the colouring continuity on the books spot on between the first and third frame, even though they're a minor background thing basically no ones ever going to notice.

You know, in a good comic this little storyline would end with Lynn finding out about the dance and then having the same reaction as her husband. Somehow I don't think that's going to happen.

Bloom County is really into genuine experiences. Peanuts (April 5, 1969)  Funky Winkerbean  No wait, what's that other word? A hack. Yeah, that's totally it. Crankshaft  Li'l Rip Haywire missed his calling by not writing old jungle sayings.  Out Our Way (January 9-10, 1929)   Thimble Theater (October 17, 1929)  Part of me hopes that Castor has figured out a way to get those checks cancelled and just let his idiot son wander off to learn these things the hard way. Of course, we already know that Popeye ends up independently wealthy off of pirate gold, but that comes much later.

This isn't actually that far off from the standard descriptions - a lot of things seem to "die" or "be killed" in math. I'm still not sure why.

painynumbs posted:Every strip has a palette, but you can't account for every single scenario with just one palette, so you often have to improvise. This explains MW's penchant for weird yellow walls and purple whatevers. Having a set palette makes a lot of sense. I don't know why I never thought about it. But it should probably be revisited periodically. F Minus  Score! Mary Worth has a professor with a rare duotone outfit.  It's probably unusual that in a group of 6 at least 2 are left-handed. I don't know what the girl in the back left is doing. Fixing her hair? Rex Morgan MD  I both hope this does and does not end up with Mr Avery clumsily and inappropriately hitting on June. Secret Agent X-9  I want to know what the regulation actually said. Apartment 3-G  Ugh.

I would love it if, one day, one of the dreg comics like luann just started having these amazing colors on every daily, like they hired this amazing genius who just expressed himself through the daily ins and outs of snuffy smith or the lockhorns or whatever E: I did one myself, this was fun, everyone do one

treasureplane posted:Barnaby (August 12, 1942) So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the lesson in this whole arc in Barnaby has been "judge people by their looks", right? Like, Barnaby assumed the ogre was evil just because he looked evil, and Barnaby was vindicated on this: no one could look that sinister without actually being a Nazi menace. And this has continued to be the case. I'm remembering this right, right?
