Because yellow is also the color of sicknessAnd baldless is a desease
Baldness is the gift that has been given to me
Happiness color, also, Stewie and Charlie Brown aren't bald, and Krillin is orange
>>154132393Huh, I never realised that.I know that color printing limitations and color theory resulted in lots of redheads in old comics, and a lot of villains with purple/green color schemes. But as for yellow and orange bald guys? There does seem to be surprisingly many of them, across media from lots of different decades. That's mildly interesting
>>154132489Krillin and Aang aren't bald either.They shave it because they're based on Chinese monks.That's also why Krillin has those six dots. They're incense burns.
>>154132659>They shave itSo they're bald.
>>154132525That is one ugly ass lil nigga
>>154132393Because
>>154132393Chick isn’t bald, he is just really blonde and has a buzz cut
>>154132393
>>154132393Homer Simpson
>>154132659Bald is different from balding. Being bald just means you have no hair on your head.
>>154132393Hey! Where is Numbuh 1???
>>154132393I dunno
>>154136780He doesn't fit the narrative.
>>154136747The point is, they can grow it back whenever they want to.
>>154135219>>154136608Charlie Brown came before Homer
>>154136829Yeah they could, but they are mostly known for being bald.
>>154132393>>154132525Why did you post this on /sthg/? lol
>>154132438Is your head shiny?
>>154132393no clue desu
>>154132393I would love to see Krillin interacting with Aang. They probably would be good friends
>>154132525You have a number of bald villains sporting greens and purples>Kingpin>Lex Luthor>Brainiac>Piccolo Daimyo>Tien Shin Han
>>154132393CAILLOU, HOW DARE YOU HANG OUT WITH A BUNCH OF BALD PEOPLE? THAT'S IT! YOU'RE GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED FOR 10000000 YEARS. GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!
Because the colour scheming has to be complementary. Think about what kind of impression a bald character wearing dark colours has on the viewer. There would be a starker contrast, and that often isn't something that you want for the impression of your character.Think about bald *villain* characters in particular. Do they come with a lighter colour scheme?
>>154137972Kingpin wears white
>>154138065Typically, but he can also wear black tuxedos. He wears suits to make sure you're thinking about him being a mafioso. Kingpin is a particularly interesting design though because of how comical but severe he has to be drawn. Big fat guy with a double chin but he's an actual threat.Anyway, the point is that with a character like that when it comes to colour schemes you're carefully crafting his backgrounds and lighting to make sure there are the proper contrasts. Look at any random Kingpin page. I bet you shadow is doing a lot of work on that page.
>>154137970>Saitama punches Caillou's dad
>>154132393Because the Buddhist monk, humanity’s most iconic bald figure, traditionally wears saffron-colored robes
>>154132393you might be onto something
>>154132393beats me
Classic emojis are yellow and bald too, btw
>>154141886This actually helps explain OP's question. Yellow makes characters stand out more easily, and designing them as bald saves time and money on having to animate hair. It's a similar reasoning to why so many cartoon characters have four fingers. That way you're left with a character who can be instantly memorable/iconic without the need for added accessories like hats/hairstyles for the animators to fret over.
>>154142444Interesting
very interesting thread, I'm sure there's more examples
>>154132393Yellow ia a cowardly color and bald men lack virility and virtu.
>>154144192Yellow ia indeed
How deep does the yellow = bald rabbit hole go?
