I was remiss

I'm sure you were all just losing sleep over the fact I hadn't put up any photos of Charlie in his Halloween costume.

I shall remedy that now.



He is dressed as Albido from Ben Ten Alien Force. Albido is the 'evil Ben' a doppelganger from another planet, or something - Ben has black hair, so Albido has white; Ben's jacket is green so Albido's is red. (Not sure how that's 'opposite', but whatever.)

Once again the Halloween Spirit smiled upon me and I found the jacket at Goodwill for under 3 dollars, and, as usual, My Brilliant Friend kirathaune stepped in to help me, and fixed it up so it looked just like the real jacket.

Charlie was thrilled with the result.

Ben's jacket is green so Albido's is red. (Not sure how that's 'opposite', but whatever.)

It has to do with doppler effect and light. While it's more accurately known as red-blue shift, it's traditionally known as red-green shift and it's also the basis of classic (not modern) 3D movies & glasses

I assumed it was merely because red and green are complimentary colors, and therefore opposite each other on the color wheel, which animators and people writing for animation would be very aware of.

See...both of these comments fall into the category of Things I Didn't Know!

Thanks!

Very cool.

My goodness, he's grown up. You can almost picture how he'll look as an adult, now. ♥

Yes. It's more of the 'my goodness they grow up so quickly' category!

Looks good! And he's wearing Drew's Salisbury wig from WOTR. (lol.)
