Can someone explain jalwa games colour prediction in a simple way? I’ve seen people talk about patterns, but I’m not sure if there is any fixed method or if results are random

I like that he’s teaching open classes—artists who do community stuff tend to develop a clearer visual “voice,” even when the subject matter is unsettling. If he ever does a character lineup for the comic, I’d be curious how much color theory plays into it; I’ve used tools like StyleLookLab for seasonal palettes and it’s surprising how much it affects the mood.

The description makes me want to see a couple examples side-by-side—like an earlier Miami piece versus something from Chicago—to catch how the storytelling changed. Sometimes I’ll mock up little “before/after” boards with an AI image editor just to compare palettes and silhouettes without overthinking it.

“Conflict, compromise, and love” is a great way to frame it—especially since the violent imagery can be a barrier until you realize it’s doing narrative work. If/when he releases the comic, I hope it’s easy to find outside the gallery circuit; I’ve seen artists pop up in directories like hrefgo and it actually helps normal people stumble onto them.

Interesting that he’s in the final stages of a comic book—his background in galleries + teaching feels like it would translate well to sequential storytelling. Also, if he posts progress videos, I always end up watching those at 1.25x using a playback speed calculator so I don’t lose my whole evening.
