#edit: actually now that i think about it. trolls hairstyles are much more limited than our hairstyles

I'm getting ready to post my second Flea-inspired Funk-Rock OC Jake, but I'm a little worried that he may be too similar to Hed because of his hair color, skin color, and the fact that he has dreads he wasn't born with. Here's Jake's color palette:

I shifted Jake's bare skin color to be closer to Reuben's but I'm still worried about it being too similar to Hed's.

I totally understand this struggle! Especially rock trolls have such a limited set of colors. It's either shades of gray or desaturated browns and greens, basically rock/earth colors, and hair is either black or white (or pale blond) and maybe some bright reds, blues, neon greens because those are punk. and that's it. 😞 (I am not upset by this btw, but it does pose a real challenge sometimes)

But in the end there's so many other factors that make troll characters unique besides the colors and hair shape. Same as how we are all unique even though we're much more limited in both of these departments haha

If you're worried I'll take his design the wrong way, don't be, but if you're uncomfortable with the similarities, maybe think if they really feel similar (vibes) or if they look related. If you still have a problem but like the color palette, maybe give this OC a different hair style? (I don't mean not give him dreads, just different shape/length) or make something unique a prominent feature on him. idk, I'm just giving ideas. But you can keep that color palette, I don't own color palettes :P
