The above picture illustrates the split-complementary color scheme for our character. The red and green symbolize both greed and blood, or blood money. Our character is a hero; yet he’s involved with the mafia, therefore these two colors symbolize the opposite attractions of good and evil portrayed in his character. The purple not only goes well with the other two colors but shows the dull and hazy sense Pavlo gets from the dilemmas he faces daily. Pavlo gets a dull outlook on life, represented by the low saturation of purple, while trying to decide whether or not to support his family through the mafia or quit and live a normal life.
This picture shows the two possible paths that Pavlo can take. One is the good side, staying in school and getting a different job. And the other is the dark side shown by the right half of the picture. In Pavlo’s life, that would be staying in the mafia to support his family, which is the easy way out. The lighting on our character shows shadows under his head on his green shirt indicating a looming darkness in the good part of his world. The overall mood of the character is positive but slightly dampened because he needs to do somewhat bad things in order for his family to survive.
Pavlo can be described in a very rectangular way. His natural look is rectangular which shows in a way that he’s always looking for his pot of gold, or, a happier Pavlo. He’s growing physically and mentally, likes change, and is unpredictable. A doorway represents him well because he has a choice to make with a better, happier side behind it. He just has to choose to go through it without knowing the possible outcomes beforehand.
