Hot Fudge Fashion

First off, today's Webcomic.

The Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club, Issue 18, Page 6.  www.torcpress.com.  The big blue guy is Omnichronus.  We'll talk more about him in another blog on another day.

Instead, let's talk fashion.

When I came up with the Roster for the new HFSAC, I knew I wanted the group to be colorful.  I also wanted each individual to have their own personal color scheme, but I wanted a handful of unifying factors that would link my new crew together visually.

Generally, in terms of color schemes, there's not a lot of overlap.  Everybody's got their own particular look, which I'm happy about.  There's some exceptions, of course, cause there's only so many colors to work with.  Run-No-No-Run and Electric Cherry both have yellow skin, and Turquoise is the color of Pengy's feathers as well as Eyemo's costume and Electric Cherry's armor.  Red pops up a lot, but primarily as a secondary color.  The only character whose costume is primarily Red is Run-No-No-Run.

Virtually all of the members of HFSAC have a few traits that link the team together visually.  They are:

1) Most of the characters have a circle with a dot in the middle on the backs of their hands.  This is a simple "Eye" symbol, and is a Symbol of Omnichronus.  The eye symbol indicates that the members of HFSAC serve the Judge of Worlds.  The only members without this are Pengy, Platomega, and Dark Watcher.  Pengy doesn't have the Eye because there isn't enough room on his flipper to squeeze it on.  Platomega has the "Red Eye" symbol on both of his forearms.  The "Red Eye" is the more formal symbol for Omnichronus.  Dark Watcher, of course, has actual eyeballs on the backs of both of his hands.  In addition, he has the Red Eye on his loincloth, as well as the brooch holding his cloak together.

2) Most of the characters have an "H" badge on their Right Shoulder, and an "F" badge on their Left Shoulder.  Obviously, this stands for "Hot" and "Fudge".  This is designed to show solidarity among the group.  The only exception to this is Darkwatcher, who despises the name, "The Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club".

3) Most of the characters have a Butterfly type design on their backs.  Omnichronus is the King of All Butterflies, so having the butterfly on their backs is another indicator of HFSACs allegiance to Omnichronus.  Again, the only exception is Dark Watcher, although it's possible he has a butterfly tattooed to his back under his cloak.  I'm honestly not sure about that one.

So there you go, a quick look behind the scenes of HFSAC.
