“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)

NO SHADING. Don’t outline iris!

Bluish mouth natural. (#605173, #3b3049)

Alt: red (#ff0d00)

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


How I do his glitches:

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

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.

Unobscured gore for reference:

Bones, Flesh: #ffffff, #ff0d00, #a50800
Heart: #bd1a2a
Liver: #5c1612
Spleen: #942f53

BLUE GARY OAK

Height: 5'4
Pronouns: He/Him
Home Region: Kanto
Casual Team: Jolteon, Pidgeot (Otto), Exeggutor, Gyarados, Alakazam, Arcanine (Akira)
Blue has several other Pokemon kept in frequent rotation for more competitive battles: Machamp, Aerodactyl, Heracross, Rhypherior, and Tyranitar.

Once, Blue was a notorious local bully. But after the rude young boy lost his short-lived championship title to his neighbor and rival, Red, he seemed to recede into his own troubled mind, turning his back on the world. Dark periods never last forever, though- soon enough he began to straighten his life out, taking on the responsibility of becoming the Leader of Viridian Gym, and later, taking years away from home to see the world and find himself.

Nowadays, he’s become widely respected and considered on equal footing with his childhood rival once again. A budding Pokemon Researcher, dedicated Gym Leader, and passionate trainer- though he still hasn’t lost the cocky attitude, Blue’s grown up into a new man. Still, he never quite forgets about the past, and sometimes it still drags him back down.

LEAF AOYAMA

Height: 5'7
Pronouns: She/Her
Home Region: Kanto
Team: Dragonite, Espeon, Slowbro, Marowak, Clefable, Banette (UNWANTED)

A young woman who’s passionate about researching Pokemon, especially those of legend. If there’s one thing that matters to her more than her studies, it’s ensuring the safety of those around her at all costs. Though often reserved, she’s headstrong, intelligent, and friendly when given the chance to shine. Next to nothing is known about her history- all she’s said voluntarily is that at the age of 11, she was adopted by the Yuuji family, and that she received the third starter from Professor Oak when they were given to the dexholders. Strangely, official records, though obscure, point to her disappearance and presumed death many years ago. Even now, she still likes to vanish for days at a time.

“FIRE” RED YUUJI

Height: 6'0
Pronouns: He/Him
Home Region: Kanto
Team: Pikachu, Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Lapras, Snorlax

Said to be the strongest Pokemon Trainer in the world, Red’s rise to fame after defeating Team Rocket and the Indigo League set him on a path to greatness. But that was years ago- Soon after his victory, the boy vanished into the snowy peaks of Mount Silver, and has, since then, only appeared at major battling events or establishments- always determined to defend his title as the “very best.” Due to his reclusive and silent nature, nobody knows much about him- not even his closest friends and family. But every time he vanishes and appears again, it’s always from that same mountain, his gaze duller at every return.

REMEMBER WELL THAT IGNORANCE IS BLISS.

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW CAN’T HURT YOU.

IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO TEAR AWAY THE VEIL.

SUCH THINGS ARE IN PLACE FOR A REASON.

LET THE PAST STAY BURIED.

LET THE STITCHES STAY CLOSED.

WOUNDS LIKE THESE ONLY REOPEN WHEN FORCED.

YOU’D NEVER HURT HIM LIKE THAT.

OF THIS, I AM SURE.
