I really needed to draw another Halloween themed pic! It has been a while. Hope you like this Holly!

This picture is.. peculiar. Just the colors but I like them. They're like a decal on an old shirt or color pages from on old comic book. A very pleasant aesthetic IMO. This is mostly my monitors' goofy color temp/environment settings, I'm sure (my monitor does wash-out colors by default) but it begs the question of how artists deal with the perception of their arts' colors from the palette they use versus many different types of monitors/phones/displays? Is it a non-issue or just "fuck it, who cares. Looks good to me ~ the artist". Well I do care. Did you use a different palette?
Well, there's a couple of completely independent subjects you are including in your question. I'll talk just about the way I do things, it's very likely other artists approach the same subjects in a different way! A color palette is a group of individual colors (combination of tone, hue and value) that an artist picks previous to starting coloring a piece to ensure there's a harmony between them. I don't usually pick color palettes previous to coloring, but I always end up adjusting the colors AFTER I'm done coloring. Which means adding filters on top of the finished picture. That to ensure that there's a predominant color or colors in the picture. In this halloween Holly case I went for strong purple and orange with some white and black. Since this feels like a color palette with a small number of colors, (specifically purple and orange) it can give the sense of an old printed piece, because in printed pieces, you need to restrict your palette of colors to what the printer allows you as the artist. An example of that are the enamel pins I designed a couple of years ago that were restricted to 6 colors: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51994126/
Holly is really too beautiful, what a pretty expression on her face. And all her details on the characters and the clothes (even Mocha and Jen are superbly detailed) great work Deer :)
D'awwww!
AAAAAAAAAA SHE'S SO CUTE 😍
Holly is a cute witch!
I suppose I can ignore the little decore on the pumpkin tops because Holly, sweet Holly, is too cute and adorable. She has to be the cutest witch for sure. I wonder though with alts can the Mocha and Jen thing be removed? Just an idea to try but of course, up to you ABD.
the gap
Jen and Moccha as shoulder angel and devil are a so good idea 🤣
