The ghost tail thing works for me. It's in Casper all the time. I was going to suggest Poil from the Casper comics, but I realized she mostly looks like Casper with a wig. tongue

Are Ghost Lights Japan-only? I thought the concept of the will-o'-the-wisp began elsewhere. Or do they have slightly different connotations?

Relatedly, the Ghost Lights image could use a replacement.

If we do go with the transparent ghost girl it needs to have the sides cropped.

[up][up]They aren't specific to Japan, but this particular usage is much more common in Anime than western works.

In Western Animation, the tail can be found on the anthropomorphic Danny Phantom.

BTW, I can make any of these pics semi-transparent if you want.

[up]Why not? The clearer the better. Make J Theeth's first image half-transparent and lets go with it. I don't think there will be any objection.

Here's what I got. I think it's light enough that you can tell she's supposed to be transparent. (A background would let it not have to be so light.)

Eh, I think without transparency is better, after all. ^^;; I guess it doesn't work quite well with a white background. It is looking weird now. I barely see her.

Since no one else saw any problem with her looking a phantom, and my comment was just an attempt of avoid Fan Myopia in the first place, I guess we can just use the original, not photoshoped image.

Sorry wasting your work, Big T.

I might have a version with a black background. Let me check.

EDIT:

Is this better? The tail looks a little more transparent.

They all seems good to me. I would like Catalogue better (it is a pretty background), but the trees are obscuring Sayo's face.

[up][up]Flip the background image horizontally and it would be perfect. Although it might also be better if the tail was more visible.

[1] [2], [3][4] Here is the ways that both shaft series handled her transparency if you want to try and match that.

The quote should be "Sorry, for haunting this page."

Ok... "Haunting" did not lead to what I was expecting it to lead to...

[up] Of those, the fourth is best.

The pic in post #35 is good, but I'd make it a hair less transparent.

I was talking about trying to match the transparency on above image to the way she appears in the series.

Flipped. And an alternative, based on the background above [up] here.

Crowner made.

I added all the options that got positive feedback. Someone else can add the rest if they think everything should be on there.

Semi-Transparent Sayo, Background 1 is in a solid lead, so if nobody objects and the votes don't change, I'll put it up this evening.
