# Rtil Miki Sketch Commission

## General
Details about positioning, etc.

### Body
* **Pose:**
* Front-facing, with her left hand out, as though she's tossed her cloak to the side. Hip slightly cocked to the left.
* Left hand is holding one of her blades.
* Right arm is hanging down by her side, a little bit limply, *stiffly.*
* ***If possible,*** movements or poses with her right hand should look stiff/unnatural (due to rigor mortis) - having her clench a fist unevenly (or not quite completely) might be a good example of this? It's hard for her to move her right arm from the shoulder down.
* **Skin:** [The same color as Anzu's was in the lovely sketch you did earlier][anzu-rtil-mgirl], if not even paler. (Though that's pretty much impossible...)
* Unlike Anzu, she's *actually* a type of doll, albeit a remarkably human one. (Basically, see below.)
* **Proportions:** Generally [like a doll][candeloro-familiar-dolls] - try to hit the uncanny valley here, with her head seeming a bit too big compared to her relatively skinny limbs and the like. (If you can't do this without making her look like too childish, then scrap it; the idea is to make her look slightly inhuman/artificial.)
* **Breasts, Hips, Waist:** Think [like this][sayaka-mgirl-water] - potentially reducing her curves to keep that kind of 'spindly' look.
* **Nails:** A la [the clothing ref][sayaka-mgirl-oktavian].
* **Expression:** An [upbeat smile][sayaka-mgirl-cheerful], but one that's a little nervous or even self-conscious. (This probably shows particularly in her eyes.)
* **Eyes:** Akin to this [this emoji][miki-xanadu-worried] (albeit without the worry to her features, of course); note how her right eye looks like that kind of glowing, milky, glassy "pearl".
* **Decay:** Parts of Miki's right side are rotting! That is, the right side of her face (cf. [this emoji][miki-xanadu-worried]), as well as her right arm, from the shoulder down.
* The look is meant to be like dry gangrene, but ultimately pretty 'sanitary' - e.g. it's not purulent, there are no pustules or cysts, or any gory wounds. It's not 'real' decay, because she's not really "alive enough" to rot normally.
* Whether the color is like that emoji, or like [the image that inspired that][sayaka-form-oktavia], is up to you.

### Other
* **Clothing:** Overall akin to the [Oktavia-esque][sayaka-mgirl-oktavian] reference, *without* the heart-shaped protrusions behind her cloak.
* Please note that the patterns on the inside of the cloak should match the orientation depicted - that is, they're always horizontal and vertical crosses. It's supposed to look almost like the cloak is a "window" into a different pattern - the cloak moves, but the pattern doesn't.
* **Weapon(s):** One of the sabers shown in the [Oktavia-esque][sayaka-mgirl-oktavian] reference, in her left hand.
* For the portions that aren't visible, see [this][sayaka-mgirl-cheerful] reference.
