bow (feature)

A bow is a feature of a ribbon, or twine (string, rope) characterized by two loops, or flared ends fastened together by a knot, or in some instances clamped together with glue.

Tagging notes

  • These bows are attached to, or designed to attach to characters, clothing, or other objects.
  • Not all bows are real, or constructed from actual ribbon.
  • Not all bows are in the main scene. Some will be part of a print instead.
  • The term bow tends to loosely apply whether the ends are loops, or flared. Some concepts that just appear tied, especially for concepts like wearing a kerchief, shouldn't be considered a bow.
  • Anatomy bows should be introduced into this tag in the future. The concept is comparably relevant to wearable bows, and makes tagging easier.
