Can anyone explain what's happening to Jinx hair and Kuro on SG splash?

I don't get how it is possible.

UPDATE It seems like many people didn't understand what's happening or got confused because of red circle highlighting only one part of hair. Since it didn't turned out fun - spoiler - try figuring out how Jinx's hair got into his mouth.

Im not sure I can make it any clearer.

So you're implying that Kuro mouth is 360 degree wide? Look at splash for reference if I darkened it too much.

Not sure how that looks like a 360-degree split. The hair comes clearly out of the corner of Kuros mouth(behind his little tooth)

TheEdgeOfDestiny1 votes

Sly. But where does it comes in? Or should I highlight with red circle if it isn't obvious?

On the other side of his mouth obviously....

It might look a bit like it goes into the side of kuro,but that is mainly due to the angle from which we see it. The part of his mouth where the hair squeezes in simply isn't seen from our point of view.

Yes. This is what I said originally: "So you're implying that Kuro mouth is 360 degree wide?"

For an artist (I assume first picture was yours) you're not very good at spatial awareness. NP. I can help you with that. Here is a schematic of what is off (on the right).

P.S.: Firstly it feels of and if you analyze why - you see that either Kuro has a really big and non symmetrical mouth or Jinx's hair is really strange (like abruptly going from really wide to really thin).

you know that would be 180 degrees at best,not 360.... 360 degrees would split kuros entire body in half.

What first picture are you even talking about?The one that TheHobbits posted?Someone with an entirely different account from an entirely different server?

In general it is possible that Kuros mouth opens further on the left(left in the picture,the one that you drew a circle around)as well since a part of the hair could cover the rest of his mouth. In that case it would be like Kuro having a 180-degree mouth(or at least something that comes close to that)

It is also possible that jinx hair goes a bit thinner behind kuro,after all we don't see how her waves behind him and Kuro does bite on it,pressing it together when it was flailing around a lot before.

No way! Are you sure? :D You also not very good at sarcasm are you?!

Regarding mouth opens further - you are right. It is possible like here. The thing you are arguing with is logic. While I say it's an artist mistake.

Poros actually have really big mouths, which Kuro takes most after in terms of design. This means the corners of his mouth are literally on opposite sides of his body, thus why Jinx's hair looks like it's going through him, because it's going through the edges of his mouth on opposite sides of his body.

I couldn't exactly find a picture of a poro with its mouth open (apparently it's near impossible), but I found a battlecast poro showing its hinges with a similar mouth design.

So what was your original problem with me saying that Kuro opens his mouth really wide if you ok with this? oO

I didn't say that, Greenlore did. I'm just replying in a much more reasonable manner by outlining the potential connection in biology between the two.

Can you argument your opinion?

Ok now, seriously. I don´t really like these threads about the splash-art and "how unrealistic" some motives and things are. They are very often on these forums and they annoy the hell out of me.

Anatomy and realistic shapes and perspectives are hard to do. We are artists, not photograhic machines. Some stuff may look weired or "wrong" but who gives a damn?!? The artwork overall looks phantastic and that´s what it is about: The stunning visuals.

TheEdgeOfDestiny1 votes

It looks good when you look at colors. It's not really good in anatomy (look at Jinx body and face) and I'm ok with this. Exaggerating is good. The problem is - some specific mistakes that shouldn't be there. Especially considering multiple artists work on splashes.

Contrary to your believe "art" is not smth obscure or subjective. You may not like some specific art or style (subjectively) but quality is another thing. Art is heavily based on rules existing in this world.

Little guy is obviously chewing on it in his mouth.

TheEdgeOfDestiny1 votes

:D Can you explain how he put it in his mouth?

Tesla Effect1 votes

He is a magical familiar, why do people even question things such as believability when magic (note magic from an alternate universe of all places) is involved?

TheEdgeOfDestiny1 votes

Hmm. This is also an option. So you're saying he is kind of etherial and Jinx's hair passes through his side and comes out of his mouth?

Catastrop1 votes

This person does not seem to know the difference between 180 and 360.

TheEdgeOfDestiny1 votes

Who are you referring to? Splash artist?

Catastrop1 votes

You.

TheEdgeOfDestiny1 votes

Why do you think so?

It's not that deep

The hair probably entered the mouth at a weird angle. That's my best guess. Physically it's awkward at best. xD See what you're talking about though.
