In a day where we find most people working to blend in with each other, our character decides to help bring others back down to Earth with a simple plaid mixture of blue and green. Not only do these colors unintentionally create an Earth pun, but they represent wisdom and nature, as our character knows what is naturally cool. These colors also follow an analogous color scheme, which is visually pleasing and makes the character more welcoming. They will also play host to darker, and sometimes even black saturations of the two colors in order to give the character a darker sense, since he tends to linger in the background although is very much the protagonist.
This character will be shown in two lights since there are truly two sides to his being. When around others he will appear darker, in order to not blend in with the crowd and to demonstrate his negative emotion towards a majority of his surroundings. However, much like the person in the center of this Dee Dee King album cover, when on his own or with other men of plaid his light will be much brighter to show his leadership and true standing amongst his surroundings. He would be set in a much more vertical style of lighting in this situation to create a strong presence. These two different intensities of light give the character a strong undercover hero aspect without ever truly being undercover at all.
In this picture focus on the candle sticks in the background for they perfectly describe how the character will be displayed in terms of shape. The shape in which the character will be displayed will be triangular and at other times composed with squiggles. The triangular structure will mainly be shown through the characters ears coming to some form of a point while the rest of his body stands relaxed creating a triangular pose and showing he holds some title of leadership amongst others, whether it be self requited or not. His squiggle poses (poses that hold no particular shape) will normally occur around others as he tries to stand out and purposely make himself out of the norm.
In a world full of fist-pumping Guidos, Bratz Doll Teenagers, and people this Rabbit just finds unintagible, Hipster Rabbit steps in to hip up the world with negativity one plaid shirt at a time.
The antagonist will be represented by a monochromatic color scheme to show his one dimensional style and clash with the Hipster Rabbit. With the character being a fox he will be composed of various saturations of reddish orange, much like the shirt above. His shirt and/or jacket will be darker saturations then that of his fur. This color will be strong for the antagonist, for it’s a dominate color in itself being able to represent domination and aggression, as well as sexual desire. The color makes this character the pinnacle of cool and well liked for his natural display of strength and sly nature.
As for lighting the antagonist will find himself in the “limelight” more often then not as he will normally be portrayed as well liked and successful. With this in mind his setting will normally be green for a literal limelight and to show his peaceful nature in public as his success comes from others and his ability to interact. However the figurative meaning of limelight holds true as well, for he will also always appear brighter then others around him in an almost vertical spotlight fashion to demonstrate his social standing. However those surrounding him will dim his light as they tend to look particularly the same.
Finally with shape we find the fox taking a primarily square stance since his one dimension tends to keep him away from change. His legs and arms will usually be doing the same parallel gestures to help maintain the fox’s box frame. Although he won't be composed of squares like the above figure, it won't be hard to associate his character with square as his blocking and facial expressions will tend to maintain this simple geometric presence. Not only will the fox be a metaphorical square in the Hipster Rabbit's eyes, but his unwillingness to change will give him an everlasting square stature that represents him more than he is aware.
Although the antagonist won't be as cool as Fantastic Mr. Fox, he will indeed be the cool guy around. As for the title of antagonist he and the hipster rabbit aren't necessarily enemies, but simply two animals clashing on ideals especially the idea of what is truly "hip."
