Nice :)

Islands in the sky! Bottles that say Drink Me on one side and One Big Object on the other, colors that feel temperate, rubber hose and striped corsets all in a set of frames.

I think you did a marvelous job showing it :)

I just hope I can continue to do as well in showing it for a year or two. At least I know this project has an end...

So how do you choose your colors?

On this project? I'm still deciding how I'll do that.

In general, well, I spent about six years leaning on a couple of books. Hard. "Designer's Guide To Color 5" by some Japanese guy (the book's not in reach at the moment), and "Color Index" by Jim Krause (which IS in reach right now). Both of them are chock full of color schemes, arranged in categories, interspersed with notes on how they were chosen. Eventually enough of it got internalized.

One big thing that I kinda failed to do in this particular piece is making sure the different colors are different values and saturation, as well. The purple and cyan are pretty much the same value, so they kinda merge when I use them at full saturation next to each other (see the upper right panel).

That's a neat idea and a fun bit of self-referentialism.

It reminds me of a gag in the old indy film "The Wizard of Speed and Time" where the producer is listing off a bunch of common camera shots movie needs. The film then cuts between all of those shots as he calls them off.
