Ack! I need an object for Yuuko of XXXHolic to be leaning against as she is reclining!



And it's not Watanuki!

Would a well work?
There was one in a chapter if I remember correctly.

Mmm, probably not. I'm thinking some sort of interior piece of furniture, perhaps. I've got her looking vaguely 1920s like.

She's really more leaning *on* the thing as she's reclining...

(it started as a more abstract Art Nouveau piece and ende dup 1920, so the background is going from random stuff to a wee bit mroe realistic)

Maybe a fainting couch would work?

What about something like this (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/images/xxxHOLiC/holic1001.jpg)?
I'm trying to think if there is any important furniture, but a lot of holic happens outside.

That's a bit more informal and simple than what I'm thinking of. :) i'm trying to do a picture full of detail - think of the covers of the manga. Thsi is the sketch so far:

Oh! You could probably get her time/space witch chair in there!

(a) I don't need to stick to canon for this - think of the manga covers, which are fantasies of art and ahve nothing to do with the contants. The design of the actual manga tends to be very plain except for wreaths of smoke, and that not what I'm going for.

(b) What on earth is her time/space witch chair?

[identity profile] rayechu.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I am scanning it now. I couldn't find a picture online.

I just thought this might work because the poses are already pretty similar.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Cool chair. Hm. I think I want to stay away from things already similar to the manga.

(hard, I know, as she spends a lot of time lounging on things XD)

I am still quite grateful for your help - I'm figuring out what I don't want in the pic, which is just as good as what I want ... this way I can narrow in on whatever the perfect background is. :) Thanks!

It's cool. Just let us know what you end up picking. Or if you end up just making something up.

Wow, look at this rocking chair. Maybe I ought to attempt that. XD

Objects to lean on

[identity profile] amberley.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
A sake cask? Although looks like she's holding a brandy snifter so that might be odd.

Or a big stuffed Totoro!

Or given that almost anything might turn up in her shop, the ark of the covenant.

The rocking chair would be excellent, though.

Oh! Wait. Shouldn't she be leaning against either Sanzo, or Mello's fabulous... no I guess not.

A telephone table. Very fashionable in the 1920s. Picture here. That IS a cushion and you WERE intended to sit there.

[identity profile] badnoodles.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
To me, her attitude suggests a fainting couch (http://antiquesinboca.com/images/Chairs%20&%20Sofas/cs0003.jpg). Or a wine cask/crate.

If 1920s is what you're after, how about something by Le Corbusier? Maybe this (http://www.steelform.com/uk/lc4.html) or the chaise portion of this (http://www.futoncreations.com/corbusier-sectional-ltchaise.html).

A statue of a horse, resting on the ground, smoking?

One of those Roman-style reclining couches. Like, um, this, (http://www.lf.org/bhai2000/product_thumbnails/classic_couch_thumbnail.jpg) only plusher.
