Now that you say it, it seems to be the case with all three slashes, since they use the same animations and dissolve.
As long as i can see, the dissolve goes from down-right corner to the top.
By the way, i forgot to say that i laughed involuntarily when i saw naked Marisa. Her expression reminds of her original self the most (aside from that «uh-oh» look), and that is definitely a good thing... but that „henshin“ somehow looks strange with her, just a witch using an equipment with prepared shells as source of energy, not her innate abilities. Though i'm not really familiar with this sort of thing, so i don't really know about the background requirements for "plausibility" of „henshin“.
Graph wrote:Even for the last Marisa image I drew (the Chapter 2 title splash) I still didn't really like the look I came up with for Marisa, though I'm not sure that the outfit is what's doing it. Maybe it reminds me too much of her ESR look. I'll revisit it the next time Marisa shows up in a CG.
I guess, it's about the appearance. She looks too boyish. For some reason i thought about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson when looking at her (the hat and the cape being at fault).
I dare to suggest that changing the length of the cape (probably shortening it), the hat to a cowboyish one (changing the color of the hat to a darker one, widening the brim and giving the crown a more pronounced crease, plus narrowing the crown, since it seems to be wider than her head is, even with hair), and giving her cut-down gloves (like the ones Alice has) may improve her look. Oh, right, and shortening (rolling up) the sleeves would have good effect too.
Maybe you would find some inspiration in Imizu's Marisa:
