On-site at the Comicup 32 convention, I prepared to complete today's photo shoot in the image of Arknights Amiya. This special snack delivery look for the Rhodes Island CEO emphasizes rabbit ear elements and red-and-blue bow ties. In close-up shots, I intentionally deepened the pigmentation of sapphire-blue colored contact lenses, paired with pink blush and gradient lips, striving to convey Amiya's blend of leadership composure and youthful demeanor. Although not a 100% accurate recreation of her in-game outfit, this maid-style derivative mix-and-match Anime convention cosplay look actually enjoys very high recognition at the convention.
To get these photos, I started preparing in the hotel before dawn. The highlight of this outfit lies in the huge rabbit ears on top, which rely on a hidden wire skeleton for support so they don't collapse when taking selfies. In close-up photos, you can see that the white lace headband and vibrant red bow form the visual focus, while the large blue bows on both sides make the overall coordinate feel balanced and richly layered. When taking full-body mirror shots, the biggest difficulty was actually controlling the phone's position—partially obscuring the face while revealing the wide skirt hem and the large red bow at the waist. After repeated attempts, I finally found an angle that perfectly displays the dress's silhouette.
When arriving at the convention floor to hand out snacks, many fans instantly recognized this Amiya cosplay look. Some friends even asked if I wanted to share Rhodes Island recruitment info, which made on-site interactions extraordinarily delightful. Once fully geared up, I realized walking around the convention required significant physical stamina. Although the multi-layered ruffles and petticoat inside the dress made the skirt look full, they also brought quite a burden in the hot venue environment. However, just thinking about portraying this character turned all the exhaustion into a sense of pride.
Judging from these final photos, the close-up perspective highlights facial makeup details much better, such as the contact lens color and eyelash curl. To align with the overall cute vibe, I selected a wig with a fluffy texture and styled it into side twin-tails. The confident smile shown before the camera actually became natural only after practicing in front of the mirror many times. Once reflector panels were set up, skin tone appeared very even. This is perhaps part of the charm of cosplay—experiencing a character's unique personality traits through coordinates and styling.
Aside from the clothing decorations themselves, I also prepared several small snack boxes to fulfill the promise of the Rhodes Island CEO delivering snacks. While cosplaying ACG characters is common at conventions, coming to Comicup 32 with a specific interactive mission was a very special experience. What is displayed in these photos is not just the outfit itself, but also a relaxed mindset while participating in the convention. The everyday working-class burnout completely vanished after changing into this outfit, replaced by weaving through every corner of the exhibition hall to share joyful moments with photographers and passing players.
This shoot took place in indoor and public areas, so the light coming through in the photos is quite natural. Although my face was covered in the mirror selfie, perhaps that offers a unique interpretation—directing more attention toward the costume itself. It can be clearly seen that the blue collar bow on the top and the wrist straps are exquisitely designed, making this maid-style rabbit ear outfit look even more three-dimensional.
Finally, let's talk about daily reflections on attending anime conventions and shooting cosplay. Behind every single photograph lies hours of meticulous preparation and continuous on-site adjustments. From putting on clothes and styling wigs to maintaining intact makeup, every step is full of challenges. Yet for every player who truly loves Arknights, transforming into Amiya in reality even once is an immensely rewarding achievement. I hope today's photos allow viewers to feel the enthusiasm of the Rhodes Island CEO during her snack delivery, as well as the vivid vitality of the character herself.
