V3 chapter 5
I mentally start foaming at the mouth whenever I think of these two.
I always cry about intense foreshorting and swear to never do it agian and then I decide to make this. I usally try and use more muted colors but these guys always pull the saturation out of me.
Going insane over Kokichi and Kaito’s designs and how they relate to each other. (Correct me if I’m wrong I’ve haven’t played the games in a while)
First we have patterns. In V3, Kokichi and Kaito are the only characters to have associated pattern (Kokichi is a checkers & Kaito is space.) Now this could obviously be a coincidence but I think it reflects their characters really well. (I just remembered Shuichi has stripes but I don’t care about him)
Kaito pattern consists of colorful gradients of and diverse shapes, representing the fact he relies on emotion which are diverse and not clear cut. Checkers, on the other hand, have the same shape and are black and white, showing how Kokichi relies on logic .
Second is their colors. While both of the are purple, Kaito is more magenta/reddish and Kokichi is more blue/indigo. Obviously Kaito warmed tones are supposed to make him seem more trustworthy compared to Kokichi’s blues, but it could also be seen as him being more hotheaded in comparison.
Also blue and red are often seen as opposites (even though they aren’t) and the fact their both purple could be how their two sides of the same coin because purple is often associated with deception.
Thank you for coming to me color TED talk.
