[Castorice cosplay] The Flower Sea Elf in Honkai: Star Rail

This time at the comic convention, I brought everyone the convention photos of Castorice. A lot of thought went into the preliminary preparations for this convention. The material of this dress is extremely exquisite; the white strappy design on the upper body and the purple satin are spliced together, creating a strong sense of layering. The waist tailoring fits body curves particularly well, allowing the skirt hem to spread naturally when walking. The fabric has a shimmering feel, looking especially textured under the venue's lighting. The purple long gloves and the white printed stockings on the legs are also full of details; aligning the print took me quite a long time to achieve a perfect effect.

The most exhausting part was actually this giant scythe prop. To be able to carry it at the comic convention, the material chosen was lightweight EVA, with a metallic-textured coating on the surface. The gradient transition of silver and purplish-blue looks exceptionally effective in front of the lens. The blade part was thickened, making it not only resistant to deformation but also offering great reflection effects when taking pictures. Although light, because of its huge size, moving around in the crowd still required constant caution, especially when turning around, where safety distances had to be calculated to avoid poking passersby. The posture of holding the scythe was also practiced many times, finding the right exertion points of the arms and waist to make it look effortless.

The elf ears adopted skin-touch silicone, with very thin edge processing and high adhesion, and wearing them all day didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The thorn crown of the headwear and the small pink flowers were balanced in styling to avoid looking too fierce, after all, it needs to fit the character's setup. In terms of makeup, the eye contours were deliberately deepened, matching purplish-red contact lenses to make the gaze look more profound.

The shooting scene was chosen here at the flower-vined swing; the white tulle and colorful floral materials match this outfit's style very well. To capture good angles, the photographer and I spent quite a while at this scene. When sitting on the swing, attention had to be paid to the draping feel of the skirt hem, while also naturally placing the scythe diagonally in front of the body, giving a sense of oppression without blocking the leg lines; the sitting posture was also slightly adjusted to showcase the leg lines. For the standing photos, the focus was placed on the delivery of the gaze, combined with the contact lens color, aiming to present a cool yet slightly playful feeling. The purple gloves were particularly easy to expose flaws when making gestures, so I kept adjusting the knuckle postures to make the hand movements look as natural and relaxed as possible.

In a relatively noisy on-site environment, controlling expressions and limbs really required some concentration. That's the great thing about comic conventions—you get to meet many kindred spirits. Every time I walked around with this scythe, it attracted a lot of attention, and some people even specially asked how the props were made. As a veteran player, being able to fully showcase my favorite character offline and exchange shooting experiences with everyone is a very happy thing. The completion degree of these convention photos is quite high, and thanks to the photographer for the snapshots. Looking forward to meeting everyone again with new props at the next comic convention.
