Essay Number One Nathan's Hero/Villain 

          For Nathan's hero he chose to use a worm. And what I have chosen to talk about for his worm superhero is the color. The worm was drawn in a warm bright pink color which obviously shows he is very friendly. I mean who could be an evil villain and be a bright pink color? Secondly he was drawn with a bright hue which also led to his sensitivity and his conveyance of being a good guy. Lastly the characters saturation was extremely low because the colors used for the character were very bright and warm colors. Due to the colors used it is very obvious the worm is a hero and also his smile helps too.
          For Nathan's villain he conveyed the image of a crow. First of all crows are always used for negative connotations so that was the first hint he was the evil villain. Then the color covered the rest. The crow was drawn in a very dark black with no brightness at all. Because the color was black this means it had a very high saturation which conveys the negativeness of the crow and how it is evil. Also to show how it is evil the character is drawn with a very dull hue which makes him look dark and mean.

Essay Number Two Scott's Hero/Villain
          For Scotts hero he chose dolphin man and his villain hammerhead. Within the color between the two they use the concept of contrast and affinity very well. They contrast the two by having dolphin man in a very bright color with a strong bright hue which makes him appear very friendly. Then in contrast Hammerhead is drawn in a very dark color with a high saturation and low huge which makes him a dark evil mean character. Also they use affinity well by making them both part creatures from the sea. The color of dolphin man is also very bright with a high hue and low saturation. This shows that he is a friendly superhero and not a mean super villain. This is in contrast to the color used on Hammerhead. To show that hammerhead is a mean villain he is drawn very dark with an extremely low hue and high saturation. 

Essay Number Three Ian's Hero/Villain
          Ian's hero and villains appear unnamed on his site so I will refer to the villain as black(because he is drawn in black) and the hero as yellow (because he is drawn in yellow). Yellow is obviously a super hero because he is drawn in a very light, bright color with a high hue and low saturation. This is in contrast two his nemesis black who is drawn in a very dark black color with an extremely high saturation and a low hue In their movie with these two characters they really used the concept mood and tone well. They made black kill people and fight off what appear to be innocent people not doing anything wrong. This sets a very unsettling mood and give a very negative tone toward black. In contrast the mood toward yellow is much happier because he doesn't kill he protects. He is also drawn in much lighter tones which shows he is a superhero not villain which also helps add to the more friendly mood.
