Also, just for fun, today I decided to look through the tag lists and compile a few numbers. My main interest was that I had a subjective feeling, just from seeing all the art go by over time, that some characters seem to have a significantly disproportionately higher chance for their sketches to get colored, relative to how often they show up.
So I went through the patreon posts filtered by 'color art', copied down the tags for each post that show the characters in them, and compared the number of colored pieces for each character to the total number of pieces they're in as measured by the number patreon displays for their tag. This yields a score for each character measuring the odds that a piece containing them will be colored, calculated as (colored pieces)/(total pieces - colored pieces). The top 10 entries, excluding characters with fewer than 5 appearances as not having enough for the numbers to be significant, are as follows:
Code: Select all
Character Appearances Colored Odds
Saria 6 6 100.0%
Rose 22 15 68.2%
Therie 12 7 58.3%
Adira 14 7 50.0%
Daniels 10 5 50.0%
Euchre 9 4 44.4%
Nora 29 12 41.4%
Adelaide 25 10 40.0%
Maeve 28 11 39.3%
Laura 37 13 35.1%
(And, just for fun, the main four are sitting at: Trace - 29.3%, Flora - 29.6%, Keith - 33.6%, Natani - 32.2%. The median chance to be colored, across all characters, is 29.4%.)
I, of course, quickly noticed something interesting, namely that Rose is way up compared to almost everyone else. Moreover, for two other characters on this list their color appearances are strongly linked to being in the same sketch as Rose - half of Euchre's and 5/6ths of Saria's color appearances also include Rose.
So what can we conclude from this particular bit of mathematical daydreaming? Well, probably not *that* much, this is just for fun. But I do think that one thing is clear, based on this:
Rose is Best Girl. It is scientifically proven.
