Actually, I originally wanted this White tiger girl cosplay look to be cool and elegant, but because of this pair of oversized bells on my head, the style of the shoot completely went off track. When we first entered the studio, the photographer, Huai Yi, stood three meters away and said, "Move a bit to the left, lift your chin up." I could only see his mouth moving, while my ears were filled with the echoing "clang-clang clang-clang" sounds. In the end, we had to rely on his expressive gestures and mimicry to direct the shoot.

The makeup and styling this time presented quite a challenge. The black and gold color-blocked modified cheongsam fits the body very closely. The sheer mesh detail on the chest creates a beautiful sense of layering under the studio lights, but it also required careful adjustment to avoid looking bulky. The long white wig was intentionally styled to be voluminous; to balance the huge golden bell hair accessories on both sides, the hair roots had to have enough volume to support the weight.

We shot three sets of poses over about three hours. In the first shot where I'm sitting on the wooden platform, the combination of the cane and the red-corded bells makes me look a bit like an arrogant cat master taking a leisurely stroll. The second shot, where I'm kneeling on one knee, has a stronger sense of interaction, but the shiny black chunky-heeled boots on my feet definitely gave me a hard time; pressing my knee down while trying to maintain my center of gravity was tough. The final shot, lying on the white faux-fur blanket, felt much more relaxed instead, and I'm quite satisfied with the feeling of resting my chin on my hand while looking at the camera.

The white tiger tail and ears were made from a very dense faux rabbit fur material. They were thickened to provide plenty of volume, making them look exceptionally fluffy when moving around. Combined with the exaggerated white plush sleeves, they were very warm, but they easily slid down when I lifted my arms, requiring the photographer to help adjust their position at any time.

Special thanks to the studio owner, Cookie Cabin, for providing the Japanese-style studio photography setting. The combination of the wooden sliding doors and green plants injected a vivid vitality into this primarily black, white, and gold look, preventing the frame from appearing too monotonous.

As a side note, I have to complain that every time I turn my head, these golden spherical bells sound like a tolling church bell. If any fellow cosplayers want to do this outfit for a Kemonomimi cosplay in the future, I strongly recommend buying a few pairs of foam earplugs in advance or stuffing some cotton inside the bells; otherwise, your ears will definitely be ringing after half a day of shooting.

All in all, even though my ears suffered from the noisy bells during the shoot, seeing the fluffy texture and exquisite clothing details in the final photos made it all worth it. The photographer perfectly captured that tsundere yet lazy beast girl vibe, and we also applied a soft light effect during post-processing to preserve the hair textures under real light and shadow. It was a very pleasant Beast girl photography experience, and I'm extremely satisfied with the final result.
