fading

When a character is gradually vanishing into nothingness. Typically rendered as the person being partially transparent or parts of the body disappearing from one end to the other. This tag may require context and be subjective.

• Not to be confused with projected inset, when a character is inset at a lower opacity for dramatic or comedic effect.

• Not to be confused with zoom layer, where an image has a semi-transparent, upscaled version in the background.

If a person seems to be merely drawn as translucent, rather than actually being so (such as for the sake of showing something behind them), then tag as x-ray instead.

• Consider using dissolving instead if a character is becoming incorporated into a liquid or smoke.
