The Protagonists

Protagonist Colors:

Warmer color gradient sampled from Loish’s works. Differentiates them from the background and makes them stand out more. 

Shapes: 

Arya has rounder, curvier shapes to display her innocence. The soldier and other enemy characters should have a more angular look to them. Using straight lines, angles, and box like figures with emphasis on them being “top-heavy” (having a larger torso and smaller legs) makes them look more official and intimidating.

Antagonists

Antagonist Colors:

Cooler, darker color gradient, sampled from Simon Kopp’s environment work. Sets their mood along with the environment.

Supporting Cast

Supporting Cast Colors:

Cooler, darker color gradient, sampled from Simon Kopp’s environment work. Sets their mood along with the environment.

Environment

Environment Colors:

A more muted color gradient sampled from Sholes' and Kopp's works. This allows the characters to stand out more. 

Shapes: 

Boxes and angles are used in opposition to the protagonist. Color ranges are sampled directly from the chosen inspiration images. A fog is introduced as a menacing unknown element.
