I love these panels a lot because 1. she’s so freaking cuteeeee ohhh her pose in the second one especially. me when some random american walks into my hunting lodge and I whisper in his ear like im telling him a secret and get him to gruesomely mutilate himself and 2. I think the differences between how her costume looked pre-sinyala and during sinyala are so interesting.
obviously the main thing is her right arm, here it looks a lot less dexterous and almost like it’s permanently clutched in a fist, less like a sheath for a blade and more like just an accessory to give the illusion that she has 2 arms. I imagine maybe she didn’t have her cool arm blade here, probably did more of her killing with her claws that she Does have interestingly.
she also seems to have less jewelry (she’s missing most of the stuff on her arms + only has one, maybe two pearl necklaces) and her outfit seems a lot more. patchwork? like the pieces came from different places. I feel like it’s particularly noticeable with how her corset and stockings look here versus how much more they flow together in game yknow? (and while it’s probably just a choice so that the artist can avoid drawing her complex ass patterns, her mask appears a lot smoother and shinier like it’s made of leather or latex or smth similar. maybe she just straight up took a hood used for kink stuff and modified it to look more Saintly? idk this is just spitballing at this point lol)
there’s also the fact that she appears to be not as skinny as she is in game. shes still skinny obviously but she’s not like. A Twig like she is in game lol. this could just be a stylistic choice or whatever but it could also have some sad implications for how she’s being treated by murkoff. I doubt the expop get fed well in general but it almost seems like murkoff is either purposely giving her less or encouraging/pressuring her to eat less so she looks more mannequin-like.
