# Rtil Star Breaker (Halloween) Sketch Commission

## Summary
Every Halloween, I think about what (or who) the characters I play would dress up as~ This one is a little ahead of schedule...

## General
* **General Reference:** [Your own work][sb-rtil-suit]! ♥
* **Vibe:** Casual confidence; ill-restrained smugness.
* **Figure:** Lithe, with some [modest curves][sb-back-bared].
    * It's worth noting that she's short; she doesn't share Angela's build.
* **Pose:** A meld of Angela's poses in these two images:
    * [Head turned towards the viewer, body facing away][angela-lobcorp-grin]; hand on hip (not in her pocket).
    * Legs 'crossed' a la [Angela's flashback portrait][angela-ruina-labcoat] from Library of Ruina. 
---

### Body
* **Expression:** Utterly, *painfully* [self-assured][angela-lobcorp-grin].
    * Sorry about the low resolution; [MAXUSHA][maxusha-angela-grin] has a similar depiction which might be easier to see.
* **Hair:** Just as you drew it before - silvery, faded cyan, wavy and somewhat wild~
    * If you could have some of her hair fall over her shoulders, a la [Angela's][angela-ruina-labcoat], that would be perfect! Otherwise it's business as usual~
* **Eyes:** A la [SCAS's work][sb-scas-ref], but with clearer pupils.
    * Unlike her hair and skin, her irises should tend towards vibrant, vivid colors - ideally ones that contrast with her skin (red, green, blue); try to avoid yellow.
    * As noted before, don't worry too much about this: Pretty much everyone (including her designer) draws Star Breaker's eyes [differently][sb-200mj-reika] from [piece][sb-swimsuit-1] to [piece][sb-100oj-default]; the gist is that red and green should have a significant presence in her irises.

### Effects
* **SFX:** Only in a variant; see the associated section~
* **Markings/Etc.:** N/A - none of her [interface ports][sb-back-bared] should be visible here.

### Other
* **Clothing:** As [Angela][angela-ruina-labcoat], from Library of Ruina: Formal business attire (tie, suitjacket, miniskirt), with a labcoat overtop.
    * Please make sure to get the buckles at her cuffs~
    * The shoes she's wearing are heels.

## Variant 1
A 'gory' version of the initial sketch, riffing off of Angela's [Bloodbath][angela-ruina-bloodbath] sprite—just with soot and ash instead of blood~
### Body
* **Expression:** Broad, creepy slasher smile~
    * Feel free to adopt Angela/Bloodbath's; it's almost exactly spot-on for what I have in mind.
        * The issue is that her smile is too reserved for Reika—slim and controlled, even though she's sadistically enjoying herself.
        * To put it another way: For this piece, Angela is _too **good at** controlling herself._ Reika isn't quite so stalwart; whenever things turn violent, a certain degree of *glee* shows through in her expressions.
### Effects
* **SFX:** 
    * Covered with ashes and soot—mostly, but not only, on her labcoat.
    * The idea is that she ended up covered in someone else's blood, and a brief, intense burst of heat (read: an explosion) *sort of* burned it off. _Anything that **didn't** burn away ended up staining her labcoat as ash instead of blood._
    * Her labcoat should still be streaked and smeared with what used to be 'gore', a la the [Bloodbath][angela-ruina-bloodbath] image—it should be suggestive of excessive violence. *She **personally** got her hands very, **very** dirty.*
    * None of the "blood" should drip or pool at her feet; nearly all of the water inside of it has boiled off. Her clothes are effectively dry.
        * By the same token, the labcoat shouldn't be singed—even if Reika doesn't need its protection, it *is* meant to take this kind of punishment~
    
    
## Fixes
* Thank you for adjusting the clips on her cuffs~ I'm glad you caught that! ♥
* Her labcoat is [missing its pockets][angela-lobcorp-grin-b].
* Could you adjust her skintone to match [your earlier image][sb-rtil-suit]? I realize this is tiny, but her skin is a little yellower here, and the stark white of the labcoat brings it out.
* I like what you've done with her eyes~ But the resolution of the image means that they come out as an odd kind of pastel. Is there any way you could shift the saturation and/or color balance more towards red, a la [her sprite][sb-100oj-default]?
    * I can't really think of how else to describe the color but 'a lurid, apocalyptic red'; it's evocative of [the background of her levels][sb-sky-dyed].
    * It tends to [dominate the upper portion of her irises][sb-100oj-rolling]—but her eyes are often partly lidded, which means that some of their coloration can be obscured.
