Mitsuri (Demon Slayer) WIP 2
Compositionally with this piece I want to do something in the theme of transitional or liminal points. Here Mitsuri is half way in the water but that’s just the most obvious thing. She’s also half way through undoing her braids so that she can wash her hair in the tub. The scene is split, not evenly, between the water down below and the sky above. She’s getting in the bath after a long day, unwinding herself in a physical way by undoing her braids and in a more metaphorical ways by allowing herself to relax in the warm water.
I think you can tell by the styling of the background that I’m not going with time period arcuate version of Mitsuri. Because I haven’t finished the series I’m happy to play with a few things here I can imagine this as modern day when the Demon slayer Corps are still around and fighting demons. Mitsuri is still the Pillar of Love. This place in is their headquarters somewhere up in the mountains. Also, now that I think about it, this may not be that inaccurate. So far, I’ve seen from scenes in Tokyo that Japan is probably somewhere in the early 20th century. They could easily have this kind of bath setup somewhere in there.
Ok just googled at the risk of spoiling myself, it takes place between 1912 and 1915. So, I’m going to say that this could easily be in the time. I’m still thinking modern day though, because I want to put her in modern clothing though.
