character: ruby_rose
1girl, solo, ruby_rose, short hair, black hair with red streaks, multicolored hair, grey eyes, sitting on bar stool, perched, legs crossed, elegantly crossed legs, fishnet leg crossed forward, single fishnet stocking, one bare leg, tossing playing card upward, playing cards falling, many playing cards, blue flames on cards, blue fire, off-shoulder cropped top, bare shoulders, bare midriff, denim shorts, blue denim cut shorts, seductive relaxed pose, relaxed half-lidded eyes, light smirk, looking up, head tilted back, smoky dim bar interior, amber lamps, warm amber backlight, blue flame glow, shallow depth of field, bokeh, cowboy shot, from below, dark background, anime style
A low three-quarter cowboy shot from just below her eye line, tilted up so the bar stool's looped footrest and her crossed legs sit in the near foreground while the smoke and hangar lamps recede behind her. Her long torso leans back a relaxed degree, spine arced, weight settled on the right hip against the stool's leather seat, right forearm braced flat on the bar top behind her hip, left hand released just above her shoulder after an upward flick, palm open, fingers still spread, a single playing card spinning up out of her fingertips against the hangar lamps. Right thigh folded over the left knee, the crossed fishnet-stockinged leg forward and lowest in frame -- its heel hooked free in the air, toes pointed, a bare left leg tucked back and mostly hidden behind it, the fishnet mesh drawn taut over the shin and thigh and diaphanous at the knee. The off-the-shoulder cropped top is pulled down off both collarbones, sleeper sleeves slipping, arms and shoulders bare, midriff fully exposed from ribcage to hipbone, blue denim cutoff shorts frayed at the hem with one button fly tab catching the amber light. Her head is tipped back, chin lifted, eyes half-lidded and grey, gaze tracking the card she just threw; lips parted in a small lazy smirk.
A dozen playing cards are suspended in the air around her, tumbling and turning at different heights from above her head to knee level, each one card-face out with pips legible, each trailing a licking tongue of blue fire that peels upward off its edge; the flames throw a cold blue wash up the underside of her chin and the inner curve of her arms, while their light falls off softly into the smoke. The bar behind her is a dim tunnel: amber-shaded pendant lamps hanging at staggered depths, each a hot glowing oval with a halo in the haze, rows of bottles dissolving into illegible bokeh, the counter's beer taps and shelving soft and unfocused behind her shoulder, cigarette smoke drifting in slow amber-tinted ribbons across the middle ground. Depth of field is tight, the foreground stool and her crossed legs sharp, the background reduced to soft warm circles of light; the far corner beyond the lamps is near black and the pendant lights are the only warm source, the blue fire the only cool one.
Palette discipline: warm amber and tobacco brown in the background and skin highlights, cold electric blue in the flames and the cool rim light on her jaw and shoulder, muted coral-red picks up in the red streaks of her short hair and the card backs, denim blue only in the shorts and nowhere else. The smoke diffuses the amber into long soft gradients and kills hard shadows. Moody, lazily seductive.
