Tritone Shading

A style of shading (commonly used in comic books and anime) which depicts materials with up to three banded or posterized colours.

Guy1: Dude, how many shades of orange should the character's hair be?

Guy2: Make it three: amber, yellow-orange and peaking white for the gloss effect.

Guy1: So tritone shading it is?

Guy2: Yip.

Shades of Light in a Transcendent Realm

Sounds like a great theme song. Not as good as Purgatorium though or even Dreamin' Attraction in my opinion! But I think the people at Arcaea made it! Good song 10/10

Roxanne: I like Shades of Light in a Transcendent Realm.
Rachel: Yeah so do I.
