The two characters that i chose to compare are Arnold and Helga from the show Hey Arnold. First I looked at the elements of the main character in the show Arnold. The hue of Arnold is yellow-green because of his bright yellow hair contrasting with his green shirt. Arnold is a very bright character that makes him come off as someone with a bubbly and flamboyant personality which the character has in the show. The saturation of Arnold's character is very saturated pure colors real cartoon style. There really isn't a shadow in the image of Arnold it it shows him close up shot from a low angle. But there is a very apparent background with all of his friends in color and the adult figure peering over the street in black and white. I think the image really symbolizes the kids trying to over power the adult figure and conquer the neighborhood. The mood of the image is very upbeat and fun with great colors and background and the Arnold character so large. There is not much weight to the image but it does have a little bit in the background as well as on Arnold with the bending and buckling of the knees showing pressure on the joints. As for the character of Helga her hue is much more of a red-orange with the contrast of the bright pink and bright yellow hair. Similar to the Arnold character the colors of Helga and the image are very saturated. This image has a large shadow over the left side of Helga's face contrasting with the brightness of the right side of her face. The symbolism of her being the crazy stalker girl is apparent with her facial expressions and the way she looks at the picture of Arnold in a gold heart locket. The mood of this is very lovey-dovey with the hearts and pinks and purple colors in the background. The only movement in the image of helga is the contorting of her torso while gazing at the picture of arnold shows the flexibility of real humans through the pulling of the cloth on her clothes.
