Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: (seeing as we're on random question answering hour YAY) so I noticed you seem to use lilac as a recurrent colour theme for Reigen, which is awesome because it's my fav colour and I don't see it around very often; any reason to that?

oh! hehe kinda pleased you picked up on that, because 

a) I really like lilac too 

b) when Reigen gets his ‘own’ aura in ep12 it largely seems to be of the lilac-magenta spectrum, albeit with some rainbow variance

c) I was looking up stuff about auras for a different character a while back (hey remember Justin Case u guys) and indigo/purple has connotations of not only intuitive wisdom and clear mindedness, but also of spirituality- it can be seen as the 6th layer of an aura which is supposedly the ‘angelic’ body of an aura- which I think fits Reigen pretty well!

d) not even related to the character so much as mp100 on the whole but the association I grew up with was that lilac is worn as a symbol of recent death and has ghostly connotations, so symbolically speaking I feel it always has an edge of melancholy and the supernatural to it, I don’t know if that’s just a UK/Europe/me thing or what though…

e) I just really like the colour ok it’s pretty
