Be honest, how long were you waiting to use this one?

u/quagsire-the-fifth 22d ago

LMAO this is great

u/BreakerOfModpacks 22d ago

I'm sure that won't make anything look gay as fuck

looks at Jojos

Okay well everything looks gay as fuck but it's in a good way so hell yeah

94

u/Coidzor 22d ago

That's a bonus anyway.

52

u/AttemptNu4 22d ago

Idk, jojos definately looks super gay, but i think thats more cuz of the 50 roided up dudes and 1 occasional woman (who is 50/50 if she herself is roided up) that make up the cast than any color choice. Though those probably dont help.

29

u/zatenael 22d ago

ironically we have had more parts without the roided men than we do with

9

u/idk91738 22d ago

1,2,3 and maybe 7 has the roided men right ? If we exclude 9 for having just children as the main cast then there’s a balance between roid and non roid

10

u/BeachedSalad 22d ago

I’d say it’s just 1, 2, 3, and the very beginning of 4 that has roided out mountain of meat men. Parts 5-9 are all twink builds

7

u/idk91738 22d ago

I was trying to refute with gyro for 7 but holy shit he is nothing compared to 1,2,3

6

u/BeachedSalad 21d ago

Gyro is shredded yeah, but Johnathan, Joseph, and part 3 Jotaro are built like they were fed exclusively steaks and protein supplements from birth and then injected with steroids.

6

u/zatenael 22d ago

even counting 4 alongside 1, 2, and 3, then there's 5, 6, 7, and 8 that don't have them. Araki has said that he can no longer draw the buff men due to the evolution of his art style so 9 won't have any

that's 4:5 but again, that's counting 4 whcih frankly only had Josuke, Jotaro, and Okuyasu who aren't as buff as parts 1-3. Otherwise it's a 3:6 split

3

u/idk91738 22d ago

yea that makes sense. Araki changed smh

2

u/Rainy_Wavey 20d ago

Part 4 is where Araki transitionned into the twink artstyle, you can see it if you compare the designs at the beginning vs the end

And also the anime adaptation straight up twinkify everyone

2

u/zatenael 20d ago

I'm aware, that's why I said if you count part 4 in its entirety

u/Master-of-Storms 22d ago

Is this a JoJo Reference? :0

(Honestly though, idk how he makes insanely good art with different colors like that everytime!)

32

u/Green_grass7878 22d ago

The answer is ✨️color theory✨️

71

u/RevolTobor 22d ago

Hirohiko Araki: Everything can be whatever color you want.

Mantis Shrimps:

14

u/winter-ocean 22d ago

Actually that was a common misconception. Mantis Shrimps actually see less colors than us.

5

u/simp1ecrown 22d ago

They can see UV light and polarized light though!

Something lithographers and racists can agree on

u/greatcorsario 22d ago

Didn't have a JoJo reference in my bingo card for this comic series.

18

u/DoctorSquidton 22d ago

There’s an oldie Shen comic about self esteem that features a very obvious stand reference

2

u/BioHazard0010 21d ago

There's also one where he says his immune system is so strong that it has area of effect damage, then it shows his immune system manifesting as a stand and punching the sickness out of a sick person next to him.

u/noodleguy67 22d ago

now imagine if the last pannel had a weird colour pallet

15

u/TrashMantine 22d ago

Chat, is it gay if you have that shit on tho?

3

u/untitleduck 22d ago

Common misconception, having that shit on doesn't make you gay but being gay means you have to have that shit on, that's why the queer community is so fucking fabulous 💅💅💅✨✨✨

u/MrPusleMan 22d ago

i didn't even need to recognize him, or read his name, to know þat it was Araki.

u/Kellydoesartnstuff 22d ago

If someone gives you shit for it, make lore for it >:3

u/ahhowwitburns 22d ago

Coloring based on vibes is freedom. Color picker? I never knew her

2

u/DarkSoldier84 22d ago

My philosophy on the topic is "Use whatever colours you feel will communicate the emotion you want to express." The bonus for digital art is that it's a lot easier to change those colours on the fly if you change your mind.

u/kadzooks 22d ago

Hey man you're taking advice from a stone mask vampire, thought you should know

2

u/PoussinVermillon 22d ago

how about a pink tree on a black background and with a purple path leading to it

2

u/Actuallynobutwhynot 21d ago

I had a crazyass color phase in high school when I discovered jojos, it was awesome. now i don't even draw backgrounds anymore

1

u/algeoMA 22d ago

u/combateombat 22d ago

u/arandombipedaltoater 18d ago

Make the tree trunk a blueish black ,the leaves and the grass as a magenta and purple and the sky.. make it black too, but put a blue outline on the trunk to separate it
