We once again take up pen and paper, metaphorically, and present our further adventures at WonderCon!

Things of Color

I know that each costume at WonderCon represents a superhero, robot, anime, cartoon, or some other media concept. And I also know there is no way I can keep up with all the different concepts. So, let’s look at them categorized by color because, why not?

White Things

White is the lightest color and is achromatic (having no hue). It is the color of objects such as snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black. White objects fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths of light.

This White Thing was almost pure white. But then she had to do phone stuff and ruined the moment. Maybe that’s why she’s so sad.

Is the teddy-bunny supposed to be evil? Those eyes kinda creep me out.

The face reminds me of Teresa Del Taco from Sausage Party.

I’d like to get this White Thing out of her costume, just to see if her feet really look like that.

When I saw this White Thing’s hair, I realized it would take a massive amount of “hair gel” to get it to stand up like that. There are all kinds of heroes out there.

Yellow Things

Yellow is the color between green and orange on the spectrum of light. It is evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 575–585 nm. It is a primary color in subtractive color systems, used in painting or color printing. Sunlight has a slight yellowish hue when the Sun is near the horizon, due to atmospheric scattering of shorter wavelengths (green, blue, and violet).

This Yellow Thing could bitch-slap you across the room, I think. On a more (or less?) mature note, I wonder if folks into fisting see this thing and get sprung…

If you look just slightly up from her cleavage, you will see that this creature has yellow hair. Not that you care.

This Yellow Thing is maybe more green than yellow. But…how does she stand like that? Does her character hop instead of walk? So many questions…

This would be more of a Rainbow Thing, but I didn’t want to make a category just for her.

This Yellow Thing is doing an admirable job of using its surroundings to blend into the background. Why, I can barely make it out in this photograph!

Red Things

Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–740 nanometers. It is a primary color in the RGB color model and a secondary color (made from magenta and yellow) in the CMYK color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy.

This Red Thing is a character from an old newspaper comic, I think. But I also think she might have the Pox, so I’m keeping my distance.

These two just found out that Duffman says a lot of things. Oh, yeah!

I have nothing to add.

Enjoy these Red Things.

And even more Red Things to enjoy.

Orange Things

Orange is the color between yellow and red on the spectrum of visible light. The human eyes perceive orange when observing light with a dominant wavelength between roughly 585 and 620 nanometers. In traditional color theory, it is a secondary color of pigments, produced by mixing yellow and red. In the RGB color model, it is a tertiary color.

Yes, there is a lot of blue on this Thing, but the orange is what catches my eye.

Is this a variation of the previous Orange Thing, or are all female archers orange-haired?  Not that I’m complaining, mind you…

Because she’s wearing a cape, I suspect this Orange Thing is a Goddess or a Superhero. But, what’s with her eyes? And is that a headdress or are those her ears? And that shield is too tiny to be of much use. Nice hair, though…

What is apparent about Orange Things is that, if you have orange hair, you have A LOT of orange hair.

Green Things

Green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum. It is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm. In subtractive color systems, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and cyan. By far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage. Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.

Since we ended our Orange series with the Lots-of-hair Orange Thing, let’s take a look at her Green companion. Note that not all Green Things need to have green hair.

But some Green Things do, indeed, have a lot of green hair. And we are all wondering if the carpet matches the drapes…

And, as with the Yellow Thing above, feel free to insert a fisting reference for this Green Thing.

Not all Things of Color depend on hair to show their orientation. Some do it with pretty clothes.

If he let his hair grow out, what would the three-spined cow-lick look like in a few years?

Tip: before posing, clean up the trash around you. Unless that’s your character. In that case, carry on, Green Thing.

Since glasses enhance vision, should they be considered a magic weapon, similar to a Lasso of Truth or a Power Ring?

The interesting part is the Green Thing behind her holding up a stuffed chicken.

IRL, if she could wield that axe like a warrior, she would have Schwarzeneggerian biceps.

I would hire her to dust me. Yes, I would. Also, that Green Thing looks creepy.

And this brings us to the end of our section on Green Things.  (See what I did here? 🙂 )

Blue Things

Blue is one of the three primary colors in the RYB color model (traditional color theory), as well as in the RGB (additive) color model. It lies between violet and cyan on the spectrum of visible light. The term blue generally describes colors perceived by humans observing light with a dominant wavelength that’s between approximately 450 and 495 nanometers. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. An optical effect called the Tyndall effect explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.

If you are going to be sad at WonderCon, I guess it’s best to wear a blue outfit and sit in front of a blue curtain.

Lots of other colors, but the blue stands out, don’t you think?

This Blue Thing appears to be using his bow as a club. One of the archery heroes should give him a few pointers. And, you’d think a creature that evolved to be all blue would have blue eyes, wouldn’t you?  Well, you’d be wrong.

This Blue Thing has really blue eyes. See, that’s what I’m talking about.

This Blue Thing is carrying half of a large red scissors. When she finds the other half, she will have met her soulmate.

Her soulmate is not a Blue Thing. That’s probably why she’s so hard to find.  Tough life, being blue…

Is this Blue Thing an elf? There’s a “stocking stuffer” joke in here somewhere, I just know there is…

 

How does this Blue Think sleep with those things on her back? Very uncomfortably, I suppose.

The glass helmet protects this Blue Thing from the harmful effects of our atmosphere. Seriously, I hope he can breathe in there.

Now here is an example of the dedication Blue Things have to playing a character regardless of the costume’s painful effects.

It’s important for a photographer to be in the right place at the right time.

And if you are a fan of Blue Things, we have a lot more for you to enjoy.

Black and White Things

Black-and-white (B&W or B/W) images combine black and white to produce a range of achromatic brightnesses of grey. It is also known as greyscale in technical settings. However, in this case, we are referring to Things that are black and white, not grey.

Why does the White Thing have puncture marks on her neck? I think I should have been here a few moments earlier…

These Black and White Things are pushing their black and white boobs together. Yes, that is a superpower.

Could the White Thing’s dress be any shorter? In this reporter’s opinion, Yes.

If you look just a bit to the left of where you are looking, you can see a Batman doll. Okay, go back to what you were doing.

I know that many people close one eye when they aim a gun, but wouldn’t this Black and White Thing have a lot of difficulty getting the range of the target, given that she lacks binocular vision?

Is this the Bride of Frankenstein? Is it Rogue as an old lady? And what happened to her fingers?

By happy chance, we have Hair Gel White Thing with her Black Thing counterpart.

It seems to me,

the easiest Black and White Thing to be,

is a soccer referee.

I’m pretty predictable when I end these series, but, so far, no one has complained.

Black Things

Black is a color that results from the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It is an achromatic color, without hue, like white and grey. Since the Middle Ages, black has been the symbolic color of solemnity and authority, and for this reason it is still commonly worn by judges and magistrates.

You would think this Black Thing would have a nicer haircut.

I don’t know what her costume is, and I don’t care.

It’s nice when your hair automatically complements your costume.

Calm down. That’s just the wire in the costume pushing against her skin.

My theory is that she applied her eye makeup, then suddenly, unexpectantly, ran out.

Psyche!  Not what you were expecting, was it?

Just a few more Black Things for you to enjoy.

Pink Things

Pink is the color of a namesake flower that is a pale tint of red. It was first used as a color name in the late 17th century. Pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity, and romance. A combination of pink and white is associated with innocence, whereas a combination of pink and black links to eroticism and seduction. In the 21st century, pink is seen as a symbol of femininity, though it has not always been seen this way. In the 1920s, pink was seen as a color that reflected masculinity.

I am always amazed that (1) people eat fast food, (2) people eat fast food burritos, and (3) people eat entire fast food burritos.

Pink and White Things mean innocence. But which half is innocent?

There is nothing in the list of combinations that talks about Pink and Brown Things. I going to go out on a limb here and say that pink and brown is associated with first innocence, then with eroticism and seduction.

Question: if she gets cold, will her pistols fire?

I have questions about where this grows out of, how she sleeps, how she uses the bathroom, and so much more. However, if those Pink Arms are prehensile, a lot can be overlooked.

We hope you have enjoyed all these Things of Color. We will be back next time to explore even more wonderful things at WonderCon!
