Ok, so everyone who has read Homestuck probably knows who Gamzee is.

But I'm a bit conflicted, since Gamzee has two completely different sides to him; both of which I like.

Our MoThErFuCkInG mIrAcLeS Gamzee that we all know or the MURDER MODE!Gamzee?

I had some color choices in mind (of course, he's going to get an overlay).

Also keep in mind I'm open to suggestions too.

I guess for the regular (if you can really call him that..) :

or the insane homicidal maniac:

As I said, I'm still open to suggestions [any color or species combo is fine], and would be glad to hear some.

Haha I saw the topic title and immediately went BLOOD RED.

But, if you can't choose, I'm sure you'd be able to get an animated overlay of him changing back and forth between colors. If you do something like that, then I say the Spectrum Paralix would be the best one.

oooorrrr you could do something like the BR Kumos has going. One color on one side, another color on the other, split right down the middle. :b

Regardless, I like the Spectrum Paralix, just for the pose.

and I hope to god you fill his treasure chest with nothing but horns.

[edit] aughh scode ruined the smiley. :c

Spectrum Paralix is amazing, I could probably animate it right (or not, considering the difficulties I had animating Lord English's overlay).

And I will..but I don't know if there are any clown horns available. D: /looks

I really suck at things like this haha. :C I like the Spectrum Paralix because it looks carefree but also kinda sinister with that grin...

Oh yes, it does. >:-D ALSO the paint splatters on its arms line up with the ones on Gamzee's evil-self.

My first thought was bloodred as well but it's entirely up to you. It all depends on what part of Gamzee's character you really want to showcase. I do think that having him be a paralix is incredibly appropriate, though, considering his lusus is sort of a sea dragon thing. c:

Also I think his unicycle and green slime pie should be represented in his TC if you're able to find items that can adequately portray them. And maybe a link to the Miracles music video that made him so angry? I dunno.

I can't find any unicycles or clown horns [please add some subeta. kthx], but i think i can find a pie probably. gonna also need something that resembles faygo. and all the capricorn related items.

NO MAKE HIM EVIL NIGHTMARE PARALIX NOW

that way you can do maybe two overlays? and rotate them. so people can see either happy go lucky gam or HONK MOTHERFUCKERS gam

i am projecting on to you right now because i am excited

Nightmare paralix would probably be MOST fitting for his evil side. I might be able to. I tried in gimp to do that with Lord English (like actually animating him) but I couldn't. I probably could on my ds though. (BUT EXPECT MEGA-SHITTINESS)

it doesn't have to be animated! there is a code somewhere for random overlays that just change every time someone goes to a page. there's an eevee fanpet around here somewhere that has an eevee overlay then evoluton overlays. it's pretty cool

I'd like to find dat code.. THINK OF TEH POSSIBILITIES. /dramatic stare into the distance and wave of hand over the horizon

i think if you ask in the help forum someone should be able to help you ❤

Probably so, but I'm going to make him spectrum because for one, I can definitely edit that right. AND two..the nightmare paralix's horns would be hard to redraw.

related and unrelated at the same time: oh. and i found a pic of myself in my wolf costume (DO NOT ASK) from back when i was 13 (3 years ago) oh god. and i drew gamzee's features right over mine. perfect match. .-.

gonna redraw it, because i accidentally deleted the image..(BOO)

You made a decision pretty quickly. Awesome. :B

The angle on the nightmare Paralix's horns would make them difficult to futz with, definitely. haha. I'd offer to help with an overlay, but I have some difficulty with my own overlays sometimes. :c

and oh god. You were the Gamzee. lol

I agree. Plus, I love the paint splotches on the spectrum one.

i AM gamzee. (or not.) though i thought i was lord english. (but i look nothing like lord english). --->

Had to read through a whole bunch of posts but even though you already picked his main color, if you ever want to have an alternate overlay with him I have a code I found on the forums that's like a roll over, I use it for one of my pets and it works great c:

<style type=text/css> {margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; background-image: url( INSERT URL HERE );}

:hover {background-image: url( INSERT SECOND URL HERE);} </style>

Also congrats on getting another homestuck pet, when I get my own Jade pet in the future i'll have to friend yours haha.

If you haven't decided yet...

NIGHTMARE WARADOR.

Seems like the perfect balance to me. :3
