Oleksi Design Question 🤔
Added 2022-03-08 18:58:53 +0000 UTC
Please weigh in if you can! I just can’t decide on his tiefling form… maroon or powdery teal?
i love the teal! but a combination of the two like vitiligo would be really cool!!

Maroon. It makes the freckles stand out more.

He would only be in this form a when he is casting spells so the color palette of the clothing is more attuned to his elf form than this one so I probably won’t be changing the coat to maroon, good point 😊

As much as I love the color teal, I think I prefer the Maroon skin

Personally I love the teal! It’s super unique. But I think maybe darker clothes… 🤔😍😍

The teal background with teal clothing with teal tiefling is just too much teal. Either maroon skin with teal clothing, or teal skin with maroon clothing, so that there's that pop of contrast, for me. So I guess it depends which you're more decided about. If you really want the teal clothing, he should definitely be maroon.

Definitely maroon for me, but that's how I see Tieflings, with skin color ranging from common human shades into the red shades. Blue just doesn't suit a Tielfling to me. I could see a different race having blue skin.

I really love the teal. The maroon makes me think of an Infernal. Which isn't bad, not at all, but I like the distinction the teal makes.

Maroon personally! Or, if you go with teal, may I suggest trying a maroon colored jacket? I just think all the details in the jacket are lost if he’s all powdery teal, know what I mean?

I honestly like both but think the teal is too much blue with his outfit. Also I just noticed the roses on the tips of his bow and adore them.

Sonnet is married to a non-binary tall and skinny (somewhat slutty) elf named Kokobiel (Koko for short!.) Koko runs a brothel in Waterdeep named "Koko's Back Door."

Love the maroon, it makes his freckles look so much bolder, but I absolutely second Zavier’s suggestion of vitiligo, that would look stunning!!

The maroon is more "traditional tiefling" to me, but the teal is just super pretty, especially with the freckles. Kind of a stars-at-dawn/dusk vibe

Could you do something like vitiligo? I think those colors would be really pretty together.
Zavier Burst
2022-03-08 19:23:26 +0000 UTC
It is hard to choose between, but I do like the freckles with the maroon a tad more, so I guess that makes me lean a bit more towards maroon.

Maroon with loads of blue in the hair and clothes is stunning
JillianVolts

I like the way his hair and freckles glow with the maroon skin. Theoretically I love teal and blue shades a lot more, but here, with the gold freckles, the darker colour of the maroon really makes them stand out. Alternatively, you could make the teal a darker, bluer shade, which would also make his golden freckles stand out - like stars on a midnight sky. :)

Definitely Maroon! makes his freckles and eyes stand out more ☺️
Cathlo Morton
2022-03-08 19:13:52 +0000 UTC
I prefer the teal. Somehow it makes him look determined and brave and the maroon make him look harsh and mean. Perhaps something about the way the details of his face stands out diffrently depending on the colour around them?

I like the maroon, but I'm unsure if that's because it's more readable on the blue background or if I truly like the maroon.
Neil K.
2022-03-08 19:08:16 +0000 UTC
I like the teal more, it clashes more with his masquerade. Though with the teal he kind of vanishes inside his jacket. 😅

For me I like the maroon skin only because it’s easier to read from a character design standpoint with his teal clothes. And I like the way the freckles stand out more. However, if you were to change his clothes to contrast the teal skin more, then that’s definitely an option too.
Lauren

The teal for the treifling is definitely rare and not seen very often. I think it looks very interesting and you could make the color he is have a huge impact on his backstory. 😁
Here’s some reference material if you need it. ⬇️
Blue skin: In 2e, The Planewalker's Handbook, p. 80, blue skin is an option. In 3e, Races of Faerun, pp. 125-126, blue skin is attributed to having night hag heritage. In 5e, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, p. 118 mentions this in the Tiefling Variants sidebar ("red or dark blue skin").

The teal is so cute but his outfit washes him out, he pops more in maroon.
Janine

the contrast between his eyecolour/freckles/costume and skin looks starker with maroon skin, so I like this version more, even though both versions definitely are gorgeous ❤️
so my voice is for MAROON 👀❤️

The inner glow seems to stand out more on the Maroon, but teal does provide good contrasts with the clothing. I can see why it's hard to choose.
