The Arknights and Oishi collaboration booth this time was decorated quite eye-catchingly. The Amiya costume I'm wearing spent a lot of thought on detail processing. The jacket material is a light windproof fabric, suitable for crowded and stuffy environments like conventions, but to ensure a crisp silhouette, the inner white shirt features a high collar and accordion pleats, while the large bow and necktie on the chest are stacked with multi-layered gauze materials, creating a strong sense of layering. The prints and embroidery on the cuffs and sashes restore the original design, and the metallic-textured tail hanging from the waist side is the focus of the entire styling, woven with multi-layered silver cords and needing to be fixed at a specific angle during wear to present a natural drape.
The wig took quite a while to trim; the bangs and stray hairs on both sides needed to be styled with hairspray. The pair of long rabbit ears on top of the head has a supporting skeleton inside so they can stand upright, but to prevent them from tilting easily during shooting, anti-slip pads and bobby pins were added to the inside of the headband. For makeup, bright blue contact lenses were chosen, and the eye makeup was deepened and smudged to highlight the contours of the eyes. The overall tone coordinates very well with the blue-and-white color scheme of the costume.
The main color tone of the booth background is bright yellow, and the lighting is relatively strong, so attention needed to be paid to avoiding strong reflections during shooting. Earlier during the booth interactions, many players recognized this outfit, and everyone even experienced the collaborative snacks together. Black stockings paired with a blue plaid pleated skirt made moving around the booth a bit restrictive, but when sitting down for photos, the pleats of the skirt and the texture of the stockings had better layering in the lens. To capture the leg lines, the photographer lowered the camera angle slightly and utilized the steps that came with the booth. Actually, wearing this outfit for a whole day still consumes quite a bit of physical energy, especially since the rabbit ear props are relatively heavy and required finding a balance point. Black loafers paired with polka-dot lace short socks were worn on the feet, and blue rings were worn on the fingers; these small details added richness to the frame during close-up shots.
Among the photos taken this time, there is one where I'm sitting on the steps; that angle happened to capture the pleats of the pleated skirt and the texture of the black stockings, while also capturing the display board in the background. At that time, to find a suitable sitting posture, I extended my legs toward the lens and straightened my waist, which visually made the legs look slender while keeping the hand gestures relaxed to avoid looking stiff. Location or booth photography fears uneven lighting the most; fortunately, the booth's top lighting was relatively soft, and a slight post-adjustment of contrast and saturation could yield decent finished photos. However, being able to interact with everyone on-site and share the atmosphere of this collaboration event made all the preparations feel worthwhile. These convention photos mainly recorded the state under the booth scene, with high overall lighting and shadow and color saturation. While browsing the convention, I also casually bought some merchandise, ready to slowly organize them when I get back.
