Inverted Portrait: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Used for artistic effect or perhaps to symbolize something about the character, such as [[I'm Having Soul Pains|being in pain in strange ways]], or in [[Painting the Fourth Wall|deep thought]]. Whether the character is really upside-down, or is lying on his or her back (or floating) and is merely seen from a perspective that puts their head down, is not necessarily clear.

 

Note that this only applies when the character is seen in a stylized portrait. Although it could appear anywhere within a work, if the character is literally floating upside-down within the ''story'', it is not an example of this.

 

* Some of the female characters in ''[[Baldr Force EXE Resolution]]'', along with upright and sideways variations.

* Rai in ''[[Jyu-Oh-Sei]]'', with his twin brother Thor upright next to him.

* The [[Closing Credits]] of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.

** The OP too: at an early point, Asuka and Rei's [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|naked silhouettes]] pan over the screen in the background. Asuka is upside-down while Rei is upright.
