Re: Fan Art
That little "dustup" deserved a coloring. I decided to go with Institution Beige for the color of the walls, but left the graying background to give it some texture.

Re: Fan Art
*turns cart-wheels* Well Done!
Re: Fan Art
That is indeed a great eye catcher!
Although I would not call that wall color "institutional beige". It's closer to "institutional puke-green" and thus on the approved list for use in all schools and community centers.

Inasmuch as this is a nice, amusing bit, is there a reason why Atsali's tail is gray, while the rest of her skin is, well, skin coloured?

Her "natural" skin color is the gray, but when she's in school mode, it's the Caucasian-color. Except, of course, when Mister "Cutie Tail" comes out to play. Or comes out when she's asserting her succubus side.
Like, say, when she's angry.

Re: Fan Art
Oh, good. I knew her natural skin color was gray. But I wasn't sure if in this instance, it was intentional, or a blooper. But it sounds like you have spent some time thinking about it, to make it a rational, intentional decision.jwhouk wrote:Intentional.lake_wrangler wrote:Inasmuch as this is a nice, amusing bit, is there a reason why Atsali's tail is gray, while the rest of her skin is, well, skin coloured?

Or, at the very least, you were able to come up with a rational explanation to cover up a blooper...
So, which is it? The world may never know...

Technically it's Mint . . . though I've never seen a mint plant that color.Dave wrote:That is indeed a great eye catcher!

And the Community Center in my home town emphatically did not use it . . . and by the time I graduated, neither did the schools. Of course, I'm not sure that one formulation of Mountain Dawn was an improvement . . . it turned a thoroughly disgusting color under fluorescent lights. Fortunately they figured it out really fast . . . only one room.
And it wasn't my home-room.

Atsali's normal skin colour is a slightly blue-tinted white, not a grey type hue...

It's food coloring. Mint oil looks like water.
Re: Fan Art
Mint plants are green . . . but it's an attractive medium-dark green, just a bit off Forest Green. Where that repulsive institutional shade got associated with mint I'll never understand.Warrl wrote:Have you noticed how many things with mint oil in them are green?FreeFlier wrote:Technically it's Mint . . . though I've never seen a mint plant that color.Dave wrote:That is indeed a great eye catcher!

Re: Fan Art
Which is rather less than a distinguishing feature of them. Most non-microscopic plants have, at least, green leaves.FreeFlier wrote:Mint plants are green . . .
Another common color for combinations with mint oil, is red. A rather bright red. AFAIK there is nothing red about mint.
Re: Fan Art
"Nothing red" isn't strictly correct in all cases.Warrl wrote:Another common color for combinations with mint oil, is red. A rather bright red. AFAIK there is nothing red about mint.
And then, of course, there are those really off-the-wall sparks who have been working on a genetic fusion of spearmint, peppermint, and scorpion pepper. The resulting hot-and-cold flavor confuses the hell out of food critics (those it doesn't incapacitate immediately, that is).
Re: Fan Art
I think it comes from things like Mint Ice Cream and other types of stuff like confections & sauces/chutneys... Their pastel nature got associated w/ 'Mint' as a color.Mint plants are green . . . but it's an attractive medium-dark green, just a bit off Forest Green.

So be accurate and call it "Mint Ice Cream" instead.TazManiac wrote:I think it comes from things like Mint Ice Cream and other types of stuff like confections & sauces/chutneys...

Of course, I used to know someone who liked licorice ice cream . . . it looked like wet cement.
