BLOODLINE: Why I’m Changing the Color Grading
🕑 Added 2025-08-28 13:03:57 +0000 UTCI’ve been working on refining the visual direction of BLOODLINE, and I want to share why the upcoming episodes will look different. This change isn’t just about style. It’s about storytelling, visibility, and making sure every character shines.
The Previous Grading (Before)
Dark, cinematic, and mysterious. I really loved its mood.
However, in certain Episode 4 panels, characters with deeper skin tones (such as Cateleya, an African American character) were not as visible as I intended. That didn’t sit right with me, and I felt it was important to correct.
BLOODLINE is about all kinds of people, and the story deserves visuals where everyone is equally clear and vivid.
The New Grading (After)
A balance between luxury, mystery, and clarity.
Deeper tones now stand out beautifully, while lighter tones remain elegant and crisp.
It isn’t just for darker or tan skin it works across the full spectrum of humanity.
This way, BLOODLINE represents more than a single aesthetic. It embraces the variety of real-world people while keeping its dramatic style.
Why This Matters
BLOODLINE isn’t just a webtoon; it’s about legacy, power, and humanity.
Humanity is diverse, and I want the visual world to reflect that.
By reworking the color grading, I’m making sure the art matches the story’s vision: inclusive, layered, and vivid.
This is how the “Kang’s Daughter” look came to life. A grading that keeps the drama but makes sure no one fades into the background.
✨ Thank you for supporting me as I keep refining BLOODLINE’s look. Every change is about bringing the story closer to the vision I’ve always had for it.
