salt, Kani2reR, @VRC_v2.5 Art Style & Composition A cinematic game cutscene still, rendered at high fidelity with clean edges throughout, holding to plain illustration throughout. The picture fills the whole canvas edge to edge, an unbroken image from corner to corner. The camera is placed at chest height, close enough that her upper body carries the frame, and she is held slightly off centre with her shoulder line cutting diagonally across the tall frame. The depth of field is shallow: she is tack sharp from her lashes to her collar while everything behind her falls into a smooth out-of-focus wash of overlapping shapes, so background detail fades out entirely and leaves her alone in the frame. Color is cool and lifted, an icy blue and a pale frost white with a soft neutral grey holding the mid tones, and the darkest values stay well off pure black so nothing turns muddy. Rendering is smooth with delicate edge lighting and a clean even surface, free of grain and noise. Character & Action She is Salt, a small cat-eared girl. Her build is petite and slight, with a short torso, narrow shoulders and thin limbs, and her head sits a little large for her frame, so her proportions stay small and compact. Her hair is medium length: it falls just past her shoulders and stops around the middle of her back, ending in soft tapering points, an icy silver blue that keeps a soft white sheen across the crown and thins into a washed lavender blue toward the ends. Short blunt bangs lie across her forehead in fine separate strands, and one thick lock falls down the right side of her face and covers just the outer edge of that eye, so the eye still reads clearly beneath the strand. A pair of pale blue cat ears sits high on her head, each lined with white fur and marked with a small four-pointed white star. A tiny black stud and a slim silver clip are pinned into the bangs above her left temple, a small white and pale blue yin-yang charm hangs from a strand beside her left ear, and a small white plaster patch sits on her left cheek. Both her eyes are large and round and icy blue, rimmed deeper at the edge with a faint pink glow in the inner corner and one hard white highlight high in each iris, her brows thin and soft and her skin very pale with a light flush across both cheeks. She wears an oversized white zip-up hoodie with its sleeves pushed to her forearms, pale steel blue drawstrings with white tips, and a black paw-print patch on the left of her chest. A blue webbing strap set with sequins and small white crosses hangs in a loop from her right hip. Pose & Gesture She holds a small white kitten cradled up against her chest with both hands, her forearms tucked under it and her fingers spread gently over its back. Her head is bowed down toward the kitten with her chin nearly touching the top of its head, and her eyes are lowered to it, half closed, her mouth softly closed. Her shoulders round forward to make a cradle for the animal, and her cat tail curls up beside her elbow, its tuft resting near the little cat's ear. Light and Background The light is soft and frontal from a wide window on the left, wrapping her face and the kitten evenly with a gentle gradient from the lit cheek to the shadowed side, and a low warm bounce from below keeps the underside of the kitten's chin from going flat. Behind her the background is a single smooth field of pale cool grey with one faint blurred vertical edge, kept entirely out of focus so the two heads and her hands are the only subject in the frame.
