Do y’all see the vision??

Colress is absolutely messing with him but then gets huffy if he doesn’t get this exact reaction lmao

Im sorry Looker I have no idea how to draw you (Lack-Two as well but this ain’t about him)

I started this at 9pm and now it’s 3am I feel like I did the opposite of locking in somehow

So…manga Colress

Interesting character, that one

Is there a reason he doesn’t seem to have his coat on in like, most of his appearances, or was it just a time saving measure considering the ungodly amount of detail present in the characters around him

I haven’t actually read the manga I’ve just been absorbing information via osmosis

I actually have no idea how I colored this one, it just kinda happened

Whatever it was absolutely didn’t work with the coatless version tho so that’s why it’s dramatically different lmao

I do not vibe with coatless Colress, his charm is stored in the lab coat I fear

Behold, Colress with more blatant attributes from Klinklang ✨

It was only a matter of time before I got bored enough to draw this dude myself. It will probably happen again

My artstyle is in the process of evolving, so it’s a bit all over the place, but I wanted to doodle this concept for a while now. I’ve seen more people portray Colress as/with Beheeyem traits, and as much as I really like that idea, I do think Klinklang suits him more, alas

Removing limbs from characters is just a thing I like to do lmao, so that’s why his arms float like that (as well as why his legs are as nonsensical as they are). Not exactly visible, but his hands are also detached from his wrists, albeit hidden by the gears

The original idea I had first was literally just “transparent torso full of gears,” kinda like one of those see through video game controllers from way back when (miss those). Whether or not that comes across is debatable, I’m unfortunately not very good at executing my ideas to their full potential :’)

This was fun though, I don’t often draw characters with any hair styles similar to Colress’, so that was an interesting process to figure out (his hair antenna is way too big but maybe that’s just where he hides his secrets)

Blue being quick to anger, quick to forgive

And Red being slow to anger, slow to forgive

Feels right to me

I love when fanworks give Colress the last name “Achroma” since it basically means his parents named him “without color” twice

This either explains why Colress isn’t the best at naming his inventions (behold, the Colress Machine part 1,708), or is the reason he’s morally stunted

I’m your world so it is flat

This came to me while walking to work yesterday

Pokespe Colress has major Ragebait vibes

Yes this is also a reference to the iconic World is Mine pmv

Wordless version below the cut

Here ya go

He’s in the blue void

I’ve seen a few people say Colress didn’t need to pop up in the Rainbow Rocket episode of USUM because they could have used any other scientist/inventor to fill his role

But like, when you actually think about it, Rainbow Rocket was a gathering of past villains who were all successful in their own timelines

What is Colress if not a past villain who was technically successful in his timeline

All my favorite Colress panels so far

So pretty much all of them
