This time, Eyjafjalla's pajama styling in Arknights required a lot of thought from material selection to makeup and styling. This MINISO Pajama Sheep collaborative pajama set has a very lightweight and breathable material, and the pink tone appears very soft under the lens, but attention must be paid to the fabric's reflection issue during shooting. The wig was chosen with an orange-red gradient highlight style. To restore that fluffy texture, I deliberately used a curling iron to increase the curl and fixed the white curved horn accessories and flower accessories on both sides. Fixing the horn accessories took some effort because it had to ensure they wouldn't fall off during posture changes while avoiding pulling the wig net to cause the scalp to be too tight. This problem was finally solved by crossing and fixing with bobby pins.
In terms of makeup, pink contact lenses are the soul, and low-saturation peach color systems were chosen for eyeshadow and blush to create an innocent and agile gaze. The base makeup emphasized a translucent feel, paired with a glossy lip tint, making the overall makeup fit the home atmosphere of pajamas better. The black-and-blue geometric straps on the ankles are small details that I personally like very much, adding a bit of techwear feel and breaking the monotony of the pure pink dress. To match this styling, I also specially prepared a Q-version little sheep doll as an interactive prop.
The shooting location was decorated with green grass, blue-and-white hydrangeas, and lilies, giving the overall atmosphere the feel of a little sheep in the forest. In the first picture, I am holding the customized Q-version little sheep doll, sitting cross-legged with hands crossed over the doll and my legs, looking docile and quiet; in the second picture, I lean my body sideways, stretch my legs out naturally, and gently rest my hands on my shoulders—this posture can better showcase the body's lines and the drape of the skirt hem. During the shoot, I paid special attention to the position of the light; soft front-side light flattened the face while highlighting the wig's gradient layers. Although this pajama is very loose, by adjusting the sitting posture and the brown thin strap at the waist, the waistline can still be outlined.
Participating in Arknights: Sur le lac Lune Vivante and the Arknights Creator Support Program this time, the whole process is not just simple costume-changing photography, but a secondary creation of the character's personality and atmosphere. From hairstyle fixing to clothing wrinkle processing, as well as the emotions displayed by coordinating different postures, it is a complete character immersion experience. To show a more natural state, I would keep holding the doll to find the feeling during shooting intervals, and also communicate with the photographer to adjust the spreading shape of the skirt hem to ensure overall visual harmony. Being able to present another aspect of Eyjafjalla in this way is a very special experience for me.
