I am planning the return of sketchbooks / milestone images sometime next week.

I have been experimenting with color palettes to replace my previous flawed (but informative) system, and my inking process is evolving a lot recently.

With being in an experimental phase that could easily have mixed results in mind (though hopefully still good results), I will initially make a few “Dan’s choice” images before ones people voted on.

At least one will involve Santa Ellen, hence her absence from the tier five polls I’ll be posting after this.

In the meantime, behold this custom color wheel I’ve created to help with the new palettes I’ve made. It was more complicated to make than I expected, as RGB hues aren’t evenly distributed on color wheels (obvious in retrospect, but my brain defaults to expecting things to be neatly and evenly divided).

I’ve set it up in my templates in a way that lets me use it like a physical color wheel. The downside of this is that it’s potentially too much fun to spin.

Does this also include all the Patron poll images that aren't milestone images too or?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but if there was a patron poll for something specific to draw, it would have been at least for a "Dan's choice", which would be a milestone image and on the to-do list.

I mean all the end of month polls prior to the Dan's choice ones taking over where Patrons suggested ideas that were voted on

do a sketch with all colours chosen by spinning the wheel

If there was an end of month poll for an image, then it's a milestone image that will be done.

This is a downside?

what type of scaling are you using for the wheel . At first I thought it was like degrees in a compass, but the numbers do not line up

P. S. It looks great any way

It looks like the numbers assume the red/green/blue format that computers use, but the positions are distorted to reflect aesthetic composition with red and green being opposites, not red and cyan.

Thanks a lot. on the computer using Irfanview red and cyan are negatives and the values max out at 255, but since this wheel is a circle it looks like that is why the numbers are skewed, but I could be wrong and as I look at it more, it seems that an alternative explanation is needed. sorry to bother you again but here is what i found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV
