Ok so these are a few of the girl’s hair colors for the ap mascots. The deep red is her natural hair/”auto” hair color, but basically she changed is A LOT.

Bascially, she’s the more “vibrant” of the two, so she tends to like to dye her hair all sorts of colors. She has boundaries though, and will not dye her hair:

• an “MSPaint” color. She’s fine with bright, but if it belongs on the auto MSPaint colors, it does not belong on her hair.
• into streaks/highlights. She WILL do gradients, splits, or other color changes, but they do not go out of one general tone. Anything pieced or striped is not her style.
• basically anything crazy like the name of her significant other or something bleached into the back of her hair.

She also tends to like to keep her hair at shoulder length with some side swept bands, but what she does with that hair changes a lot. As long as her hair looks fairly messy and “relaxed”, she’ll probably do it. She will do all sorts of hair styles when she needs to be professional, but because professional moments don’t occur often she doesn’t do them frequently. 

Oh and lastly, her rule is basically 

• bright lipstick
• bright eye shadow OR
• bright hair

the only acception to the rule is when she’s too lazy to dress up in any make up at all/doesn’t feel like it or the hair and makeup are in the same tone (ex. the green one in the corner). Even then the makeup isn’t crazy then.

oh and inb4 no this is NOT a thing to vote over. 

again, reblogging this for people who aren’t up at 3am

Thank you, Ally, for adding the explanation!

NOTE: if you do not like hearing about the mascots, I will always tag posts about mascots with “mascot”, “mascots”, and “artistproblems mascot” so those of you with Tumblr Savior can block one of those three words.

Here is the dude’s equivalent. He is more conservative/traditional whatevs than her, so he only accepts dying his hair in shades of brown (blonde and black count; basically anything except red and crazy colors) only when she pesters him enough to do it. Usually he stays in the darker brown to medium brown range, but occasionally (ex, the blonde bangs) she can beg him enough/ trick him through a bet or something to get his hair a little “crazier”.

TLDR he’s dull and doesn’t like to change his hair much.

reblogging myself for people who aren’t up at 3 in the morning

this is the design for the girl mascot, but I was told the second one didn’t match her spunky personality well enough. I hope the change is better, but I’m not sure (the top is the change, the bottom is the original)

hey which do you guys like better?

Ally my crying

I think the top one is the best :) The blue in the bottom one is just a little more muted. I think the top one matches her personality.

What do you guys think?

tada! this is for the most part done, but I may make some alterations to make it more interesting. He is the male mascot for the artist problems blog~

ALLY ALL MY SOBBING

We are taking darker skin into consideration, so no worries :) people come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.

In fact, my friend and I were throwing around some ideas about making the girl mascot a little curvier, we also are thinking about costume designs, and we are trying to be as diverse as possible.

Also, there will only be two mascots. We don’t want to get too crazy xD
