get to know me [1/5] favourite female characters: mako mori
mako mori
Becket, this is Mako Mori.
#I AM GONNA FUCKING DIE #THEIR FIRST MEETING MADE INTO THIS SWEEPING ENCOMPASSING THING IN THEIR SHARED MEMORIES #drifting in2 each other’s hearts
But look how they perceived each other too. This memory isn’t an exact one (memories rarely are). Raleigh’s perception of Mako was very close up and she’s this stunning, slightly sad, closed off thing framed by her umbrella like a halo. She looks exquisite and unapproachable in a way. Mako’s perception of Raleigh has him looking far more serious and sad than he actually looked when they met. The camera angle zooms in like she was suddenly really taking in who this guy was and he looks forbidding and far more warrior like than he ever does in real life. If you notice, that one frame makes him look more like Stacker than any other moment in that movie. If that was her perception, something about Raleigh ALREADY reminded her of the level of command her father had and not only is she the only one in the movie who sees that, but we realize it’s an internal thing on Raleigh’s part because he doesn’t ACT like Stacker, but he sure has the same grit.
I so love when people see things I miss! When I saw these gifs together, my jaw dropped. They actually took the time to refilm their first meeting. Blows my mind how much thought they put into the drift sequences. I wish we could get a point by point explanation of each drift cause there is a lot in there we don’t understand.
One of the four postcard designs I’m doing for shatterdomeseattle! (An additional four to be done by geniusbee.) The postcards were available through the Indiegogo that was run last year, and I imagine they’ll also be available at the con itself on May 3rd. So go to the shatterdomeseattle page and get up to Seattle. :3
I had to make one of them coffee related, and given that I usually always draw Newt, I decided to go with Mako instead.
This Mako fanart is FOR REAL.
put on your lipstick, fix your hair and get in your jaegers ‘cause it’s time to take on some category 5s (◡‿◡✿)
I really like the pacific rim recruitment posters, so I wanted to try one with ppdc’s best pilot!! so here is a thing
“To have her say ‘for my family’, but it’s not only for the family she lost in that memory. I made a conscious decision not to show the family destroyed in the memory because it’s all the family that she’s formed now, it’s the Russians that died, the Chinese that died, it’s the human family that we have seen slaughtered so far in the movie.”
Guillermo del Toro, DVD commentary (via ungyo)
