Description
This is a Rainbow Brite OC I created named Dayglo. He is either Moonglo's Brother or Boyfriend I can't decide. I like the idea of them being in love just because the idea of them only being able to be together at sunrise and sunset sounds romantic.Since Moonglo has light pink hair I gave him light blue. She has sort of a german maiden dress thing going on so I put him in a sort of little boy dressed up outfit.
The reason he has the sunbelt and the three neon arm rights is because he is in charge of the DAY but also in charge of putting LIGHT into color. So "glowing colors" are because of him. He puts the suns light into them.

Part of the problem also with his was that if I made him too orange and yellow he started looking like an orange or yellow color kid. Initially I had given him blonde hair and it just didn't work, thats when I decided on blue which also kinda reminds me of a pretty daytime sky color

His colors were actually really hard for me to decide on. And they still aren't set in stone. Moonglo blue makes sense for the night so I gave him a yellowish out fit for the day. The neon green pink and yellow are to illustrate his job as the guy who puts light into colors.
Any suggestions with him would be great though.

What I do when I'm having trouble deciding on colors is sometimes have multiple "mock ups" of an image side by side with different color variations to see what I like and don't like. Or when I'm in photoshop, I'll try one color, then replace it, and hit "undo" "redo" a few times to see which works better. I can end up doing this with a lot of colors. It's kinda like going to the eye doctor for glasses and he asks "Which is better, a or b" You may answer b, so he goes to "b or c" "one or two" etc, y'know? Same principle, just with finding colors, not lens prescriptions.

hee hee yea good idea. Do you think different colors would work better? What colors would you prefer do you think?

I don't know. But I do think that as it is now the colors of his clothes swallow and drown out his hair. It's a cute outfit though.

Just made a little edit to it, does his belt and bottons being blue help a little maybe? I think the belt being blue works cause its like the sun is in a blue sky then.
