“GLITCHY” RED TAJIRI

Height: 6'2
Pronouns: He/It
Home Region: Kanto
Team: ????????, ??????, ?????????, ??????, ???????, ?????????

A disheveled man in a twisted realm who claims to be Red- yes, THE Red, despite bearing no resemblance in appearance or personality. He somehow seems to possess knowledge of things he shouldn’t know, and an unnerving ability to do that which should be impossible. His body appears unstable, and though the same could be said of his behaviors… the odd man acts and talks as if he’s an old friend of yours, and always seems relaxed around you- showing off his loud and passionate personality, and always bearing a Cheshire grin.

[Transcription of design notes and color hex values under the cut.]

Hair: #181418

Skin: #fbf3ef (main) + #c6b7d2 (veins/eyebags, multiply) + #76658c (blush) + #4291fe (airbrush overlay)

Neck bruised and veiny.

Eyes: #ffffff (sclera) + #ffffff, #ff0d00 (iris, red and SMALL amount of white)

Glitches (red/yellow/white) always visible on body, NOT CLOTHES. (Hidden for body ref)

How I do his glitches:

Use any method to make basic glitch effects of any color.
New clipping layer over glitches, set color layer effect. (Fill: #ff0d00)
Merge.
New clipping layer again, layer effect Hard Mix OR Color Burn Layer. Whichever looks best. (Fill: #ff0d00)
(If there’s no #ffffff or #fff800, manually add lines and boxes to base layer of these colors.)
This should result in his distinct glitch colors of red/white/yellow/black.
Merge again
Clip onto glitched area (optional)
Set glitch layer as Glow Dodge– or whatever gives the best looking effect. Pick with your heart!

ALT PALETTE (only for this outfit)

Yo.

Look, I’m not here to dick around with a buncha cryptic bullshit. I’d like to think I’m a pretty open book, yknow-

I just think that hiding this one would be really fucking funny. Trust me- you’ll find out soon.

A lot sooner than you’d think.

General Note:

Details of these forms can vary based on circumstance. This is more like examples and a style guides than a concrete reference- I’ve tried to note every key part for each.

Hue over Red’s body, not over amalgam: #ff0d00

Skin: #fbf3ef (main) + #c6b7d2 (veins/eyebags, multiply) + #76658c (blush) + #4291fe (airbrush overlay)

Hair: #181418

Eyes: #ffffff, #ff0d00

NO Shading!

Don’t outline iris! “Animalistic” look in eyes.

Blood stains, multiply #900700

Mouth: #ff0d00

Amalgamated parts can be parts of anything summonable with the Old Man Glitch, use one of these palettes:

1: #76658c, #181418, #c6b7d2, #c8afa3

2: #ff0d00, #181418, #ffffff, #ffff00

Glitching is far more extreme in this form.
