For this CC Eternal Promise version look, the most challenging part was the blunt bangs and long green hair. When I first got the wig, it required a lot of detangling; to prevent the bangs from blocking my vision while still conveying that aloof, eye-covering coolness, trimming and styling took quite a bit of time. The shooting process was actually not easy—to achieve a piercing gaze that strikes the heart, I had to stare intensely into the camera the entire time. Although the yellow contact lenses really enhance the complexion, wearing them for long periods easily dries out the eyes, so much so that I had to control my blinking throughout the shoot to capture the most cold-blooded moments. As for the outfit, the white high collar paired with the black choker creates a contrast that is actually quite hard to pull off. Because the collar is quite high, it slightly chokes the neck, and for most of the shoot, I had to maintain a pose of pulling at the collar. Repeatedly adjusting this action was quite exhausting, but it wasn't just for costume accuracy; it better reflected the character's defensiveness and detachment. My right hand was also doing subtle tugging motions, and since the fabric is rather stiff, holding these poses took a lot of effort, though I am very satisfied with the final result. For the shooting location, I specifically chose a corner with small white flowers and dark leaves; with the background blurred, it looked very serene. During post-processing, I suppressed the overall color palette into a cooler dark tone and enhanced the contrast of the golden-yellow eyes. This not only highlighted the subject but also echoed the white flowers in the background. The focal point of this photo set is the portrayal of the character's eyes, so most of the shots utilized a slightly head-down angle, looking up into the lens. For friends who want to try characters with green hair and yellow eyes, I highly recommend focusing on deepening the lower eyelids during makeup, which helps immensely in shaping the demeanor. Although the entire shooting process involved physical strain, being able to recreate the character's unapproachable, mysterious aura made it an unforgettable experience.
