#AnnTakamaki (#Persona5) #WIP 2
I didn’t do Ann or my first piece because, well she didn’t win the vote. But here she offers us a chance to try something different to contrast the last piece. My Mo Motoko x Futaba piece was a yuri piece where the characters were playing off one another. Ann here is doing something different. She’s singular and her body is cutting diagonally across the frame. Whereas in the last piece the center of the image was left empty here she’s the center, she’s taking up space and you have to deal with it. She’s even covering up the symbol behind her so you have to deal with her as an obstacle to something behind her if you wanted to see thy symbol or even the city beyond. Conceptually she’s the woman taking up space
In terms of her characterization and body language I wanted to play up the cat part of her not going to lie, I was looking at my cat when I thought of this. She’s a big cat all slinky self-satisfied languor just draping herself on this couch by this window. Her expression is somewhere between come here and fuck off but it’s still somehow magnetic.
Of course, the hair is going to be a challenge. I’m not great at fixed structures like Ann’s ponytails but I can’t not do it without them. I’m also going to be doing a dramatic side swoop thing like some of the hair in the front escaped and she’s looking at you partially through the dangling strands.
