A2 Cosplay — Red-Lit Industrial Rooms, Photo 3
NieR:Automata
Still in the red-lit corner, A2 kneels facing the camera with her knees set wide, her body leaning slightly back and her right elbow raised so the forearm crosses diagonally in front of her face. She looks up from beneath that arm. Seen from a little above, the wide knees become a low, stable base for the whole figure.
The same hard red light runs in long highlights down the glossy latex gloves and the tall black stocking, while shadow falls across the torso and the pose repeats as a large shadow on the uneven gray plaster. With no sword in hand, the composition is more intimate, and the forearm across the face does the work a blade does elsewhere in the set.
