character: yamato_(kancolle)
The military uniform she wears has lost its former jet-black majesty, faded to a pale ash gray by the sands of the seabed and the passage of many years. The ornaments of the main guns, once boasted as the world's largest, are red-rusted, and from them, reddish-brown soot trails down her cheeks like teardrops. Her hair is a dull deep blue, reflecting the blue of the deep sea where light does not reach. Once tied up with pride, the knots have now come undone, drifting precariously in the water like seaweed. Her eyes are a dark color, like glass beads that reflect nothing, characteristic of the deep sea. Around her alone, everything is silent as if time has stopped. Occasionally, schools of small fish brush past her rusted shoulders, but she does not follow them, merely staring fixedly at the distant sky—the shimmering surface of the ocean.
1. Design ideas for hair ornaments and accessories mimicking the "bridge" or "Chrysanthemum Crest": On her head or the chest of her frayed military uniform, small metal hair ornaments mimicking the "bulbous bow" or the "uniquely shaped bridge"—once top secret and symbols of Yamato—remain in a rusted state. Presentation: On her forehead or chest, parts of the "Chrysanthemum Crest" that once shone gold are now literally "peeling off and rusted," clinging on in a blackened state.
2. Design ideas to lean the clothing toward "white and black" or "Yamato's sailor suit": Shift from the current simple blazer-style clothing to a base of Type 1 military uniform (black) or Type 2 military uniform (white), mixing in traditional sailor collars or officer designs. Presentation: The right shoulder of the illustration is severely damaged and rusted; interpret this as "the armor plates of the once world-largest 46cm main guns, decaying as a part of her body (shoulder armor)."
3. Design ideas to make the silhouette of the shipwreck in the background specific to "Yamato": Change the silhouette of the masts (pillars) visible behind her to the shape of the "forward-leaning funnels" or the "15-meter rangefinder (the horizontal bar at the top of the bridge)," which are the most prominent features of the battleship Yamato. This makes it instantly recognizable as the wreckage of Yamato.
