However, I think the ties/waistcoat of the Mayor and Assistant #1 could benefit from some brightening, as they don't stand out much, and make the brighter colour of the lady's lips stick out too much.
Yes, her lips do stand out.
Everything red as been equally saturated, however, her lips a a little brighter than the ties and vest.
I edited the picture and desaturated her lips just a smidgen. It looks a bit better now. I'm not sure if I could brighten their vest and ties very well, and I like the hint of red being subtle.
And it would be really cool if I could use this in an actual film, which is why I want to do it.
I've done some experiments on Isaac the Clown's hair by removing colour then trying to redden his hair twice. Unfortunately, they seemed slightly different from each other. But I'll keep experimenting until I can redden a picture twice and make each edit look exactly the same, or close enough to not look dodgey in animation.
Reddening the details on clothes is actually remarkably easy. The thick black lines allow for a comfortable margin for error. However, red pieces are a bit more difficult.
I plan to have a very specific scene in Welcome to Darkmoor have several red accents. Luckily, it will only be one scene, one very, very special scene, and for the rest of the film I won't have to worry about this nonsense. (though, I may do an additional brick-built title scene with WELCOME TO DARKMOOR in red)
The clothing details will be rather simple, but I want to have a very special part with a red telephone. The most difficult part of this business being that a character actually picks up the telephone, which will probably be horribly painful for me, but it would look super amazing so I totally have to do it.
Unless I can't find a way to redden stuff consistently, in which case I'll just leave it grey and carry on.
