while i'm using this blog for elementalposting i have a thought / question i'd love to hear other ppl's thoughts on too

so of course ember & wade get the complementary colors of orange and a more turquoise/green blue (as opposed to a "pure" blue more like ultramarine) that wade has, and i was appreciating how neat it is and how good it looks that the Combination / Overlap / Meeting of their colors is given this like, purple/pink color? especially visible on wade when they touch, i think, as the one more refracting & reflecting light while ember emits it. like it's great to emphasize The Metaphor of their elements & colors & how they interact & affect each other, and it's also great b/c it looks good

but my thought was mostly like "is that how their orange and cerulean colors would combine according to Additive color mixing??" since like, looking at a Subtractive color wheel re: like using pigments and all, orange / blue green / fuschia type red violet purple are Kind Of close to being triadic, which you know, based on Color Theory looks good lol, and i definitely think that's the most important reasoning to use here like, their colors mixing into a bright purple has Meaning and it Looks Nice lmao. but ember is Luminous and wade reflects the light wavelengths that result in the visible blue green we see him as, so it's like, if we're just going with the idea that their Light's interplay is the interplay of orange & cerulean, would the Additive Color Mixture of those colors of light maybe actually result in that magenta-y color / a pink purple? (while ofc the subtractive mix of colors that are complementary or close to it make less saturated dark greyish brown type situations)

i've made a rough diagram about it lol

i'm not that practiced at working out how different colors of Emitted Light mix either in theory or experimentally lol like, i don't have an Orange and Greenish Blue spotlight to shine on the same spot and see what happens. but using my own visual aid it's like, okay, so basically what's happening is Red (and a lil green) + Blue (and a lil green)....we know the Red + Blue light straightforwardly would create Magenta, and if it was Red + Blue + an equal amount of Green, it would create a White light. but because it's Not the equal amount of green, and it's More of the red + blue, that's kind of equivalent to "okay this Would be white light, but it's then pulled into the Magenta field a way," or "magenta, but pulled a bit towards white" so, Brighter, more of a Pink maybe lol

basically i'm just thinking like "ooohh this might be kind of like how the Physics of their light would really play out" even when it's like, okay, wade's not quite Generating light the way ember is, this isn't like, "realistic" realistic and there wouldn't really be any real world experimental counterpart, like, dye some water wade's color and get an orange flame going and see what happens when you get them really close....that's not gonna yield purple light lol. at least not visibly. and idk what would happen if you were like "let me get on the other side of this small clear tank of dyed water and see what the torch looks like from here" same as i don't know what would even happen the [wade-colored spotlight] and [ember-colored spotlight] were overlapped. and i also know that color theory, whether subtractive or additive, also just goes "it's complicated" lol like the Reality may not always fit the Theory, of course

and i'm not looking for it to be like "yeah wow this is peak realistic regarding the laws of optics" b/c it's already Not trying to be, serving the Metaphors and the Visuals comes first rather than like, trying to be hard scifi about "what if people were made of fire or water" and like, it's fun to think of how things would work in that scenario, Unless it gets in the way of anything else lol in which case it's like "it doesn't really have to matter that this part isn't 'realistic' because this is built around a Metaphor, not around 'but how would it all Really work if your body was all flames'"

(bonus: kinda fun thinking too about how ember's flareups are Also purple....it's sure yet more "oh god additive light rules" trying to look up the colors that fire can become lmao but it's also fun thinking about how like, via wade this becomes about more than just her Temper and about breaking down that temper into basically repressed or suppressed emotions....and before wade the Purple Light Of Ember's Feelings is being let out through her temper building up and bursting out, and then Through him the Purple Light Of Ember's Feelings is coming out perfectly naturally through their interacting. or maybe they're separate purple things lol....hey girl. did you know. your violet doesn't have to be so violent....End Of Post)

since Eng is getting 7.5 soon(?), I felt motivated to go back to my Meleanor rig and make her a couple of lesson animations! ...except for alchemy, because the cauldron bubbles proved too hard to photoshop around, whoops.

maybe she just got lost on her way to the classroom...?

(credit: backgrounds are from the game, I just put her on top of 'em)

(aside from the backgrounds, this is not an edit, I drew her from scratch! please do not tag or treat as an edit!)

i want to give a bit of info to everyone who only knows miguel from the movie:

•he is not a vampire! his fangs are from his spider dna and are filled with paralyzing venom :) fun fact: the size of his fangs makes him mumble so other people don't see them while he's talking!

•he wasn't bitten by a spider like most spider people! spider dna was atomically spliced directly into his genes making him 50% spider

•he doesn't stick like other spider people! he uses the talons on his fingers to climb around and such! fun fact: these talons can easily slice through solid metal :)

•he doesn't have a spider sense! instead, all of his senses are majorly enhanced!

•yes! he always moves like that! he automatically moves like a feral monster because that's what he is!

•he has a fiancé named dana and a little brother named gabriel! they are the two most important people in his life :) fun fact: gabriel recognized that it was miguel in the spider suit the first time he saw him in it!

•his eyes are red because they can see in major details and in complete darkness. fun fact: this makes his eyes super sensitive to light, which constantly gives him migraines :)

•yes! his ass is that huge in the comics, too! everyone in the comics are always commenting on it ^^

•miguel is irish/mexican :)

•he is NOT the original spider man of his universe! there was a peter parker in the past before the year 2099

just wanted to clear up some facts about him movie onlys may have misconstrued ^^
