Protagonist- green giant

Green represents my hero because his physical color is green.  Not only that, but his personality represents somewhat of a monster at times.  When most people think of monsters, they are reminded of the color green.  This being said, the two are indirectly related to one another in the human mind.  Also the first thing that people recollect when thinking of my hero is the color green.  However, most people connect my hero to the color green due to physical appearance yet there is so much more about him that goes with green.  The comic book which this character is drawn makes everything associated with him some shade of green.

I chose this picture to represent the lighting of my super hero because he has a dark image yet always ends up doing things for the greater good.  This picture shows what looks like a fairly large figure with a bright light behind it.  My super hero is a large person who does good things.  I think of the light behind this dark character as being the good that could come from such a dark character.  Also, in some instances, his goodness is somewhat hidden by the darkness of his stature.  This picture also depicts this with the light coming from behind the dark being.  

A picture of a twisted circle represents my character perfectly.  First, I chose a circle because when we see this character, he is pressing his fists into the ground which makes his figure take a sort of circular shape.  Also, I chose for this circle to be twisted because his personality is a bit twisted as well as his actions.  His personality traits consist of both good and bad things.  He is a good being at heart yet his actions say otherwise.  As a person, he does good things in the long run.  This being said, he makes a large mess of things while doing so.

Antagonist- Dr. Redman

I chose a mixture of red and black to represent my antagonist because his physical appearance is red.  You can most likely guess this by his name.  When I think of evil doings, I think of Satan and Hell.  I then put with the color red.  This being said, Dr. Redman has red skin with dark black eyes and he wears a black lab coat with red flames on it.  His appearance represents his evilness in every way possible.  The red and black color style has been used for to represent evil for as long as I can remember which is why I gave him these attributes.    

The lighting in this photo shows my antagonist perfectly.  My antagonist is the type of person who on the outside is a nice, happy man, yet he is the antagonist for my purposes.  He may come across as a nice guy, but it is not until once you get to know him that he turns on you.  He has a bright outskirt with deep, dark innards.  The bright light in the photo represents his outer shell while the darkness in the background of the image shows his true being.  He is the type of character who was once a protagonist but was turned by a series of unfortunate events.

I chose this picture to represent my antagonist’s shape because before he was a super villain, he was a loser, otherwise known as a square.  Also, if you look at this picture, you can see that the square in the picture appears to be twisted.  This represents my antagonist because everything that he does as a super villain is twisted in different ways.  This is also a good representation because he twists people’s words in order to lure them into his trap.  This image captures everything about my antagonist; from before he became a super villain to the present day.
