Creating a new character...

As the instructions state, I have come up with two unique characters (a hero and his match). I have also deconstructed each character to its 3 basic elements, color, light and shape! Now lets get on with the show.

HERO: Allan Cutler aka Malachite Man

Color Scheme

Allan's color scheme is based on the geological gem Malachite (hence the name). The color scheme is a mixture of black, green and dark blue creating a calming yet mysterious sensation. Like the Vicks vapor rub of super heroes. The calming and soothing effect of justice is more than eminent with this hero.

Lighting Scheme:

Malachite Man is in many retrospects a figure who wants to help the community, but doesn't want the reputation. This picture showing the two above looking on towards the light yet staying in the darkness shows their yearning for good, yet staying in the shadows to not create attention to themselves.

Shape:

Triangles are usually known as the strongest symbol in symbology today. A strong base with a sharp point... almost every superhero has this shape (or should at least). 

VILLAIN: Vincent Ahab aka The Captain 

Color Scheme

Ahab's color scheme is the exact opposite of his nemesis Malachite Man. Dark tones and shades of orange, red and  hints of yellow compliment the evil side of this distrustful and destructive force. These colors also personify the colors and evils of Hell... and after all what is more scarier than eternal damnation?

Lighting Scheme

Using dark dramatic lighting such as this draws the audience into a snare of evil.  This "lure" of lighting draws unwary heroes into becoming a little to close to this dastardly villain. There is not other fear than the fear of not knowing what will happen next, and that is exactly what this lighting does.

Shape

All of the best villains are the ones that you have no idea what they are going to do next. This representation of pure madness describes the absolute essence of our villain. Crazy like a fox, but yet flexible and bending enough to just be able to counter the heros strict, rigid moral code of honer and dignity.
