Since this is going to be set in the 80s, I figured it would be good to make it look like and 80s comic - limited colour palette and all. As I'm still getting used to colouring, my style is fairly simple in that regard, usually consisting of just flats and a few shadows and hi-lights when need with a filter to mimic the CMYK dots printers use. The 80s look isn't much of a stretch in that regard, and while it would be nice to have a really painterly, Dean White style set of colours I don't want to experiment and fail at this stage. I'd prefer to do something I know I can, and do it well. The limited palette will likely be enough of a struggle anyway, as I don't have much of an eye for colour. However, one of the palettes I found is split into warm and cool colours, which should be useful. I still want to colour-drop the Djinn, though, as that'll make him look even weirder in this setting. These are the first couple of tests - some flats on 'Al' using the palettes I sourced online, plus playing around with a semi-transparent layer of old paper, and the original digital inks.
