[Phoebe Cosplay] Wuthering Waves offline exhibition, detail restoration of the blue and white sailor uniform

Before setting off for this exhibition, a lot of thought went into the preparation stage. To restore Phoebe's outfit, I started adjusting the details long in advance. The wig chose a bright yellow long style, styled with blunt bangs and twin-tails on both sides. Although the wig is prone to tangling, as long as it's combed smooth, the texture under the exhibition lights photographs exceptionally well. To match the overall temperament, I specially selected purple contact lenses, increased the layering of the eye makeup, and paired it with a black hallowed-out geometric choker, giving the overall styling a bit more refinement.

The main body of the costume is the classic blue-and-white color-blocked sailor collar, with white double stripes along the edge of the dark blue collar, and white pleated lace spliced below the neckline. The huge light blue striped bow in front of the chest is the visual focal point. To keep it stiff and structured, I padded it with shaping materials inside so it wouldn't collapse when walking and posing. The dark blue uniform hat on the head also underwent repeated position adjustments to ensure a secure fit without crushing the wig's bangs.

The lighting at the exhibition site was quite complex, and the overhead industrial lighting made it very easy to cast shadows on the face. For my first photo, I chose to rest my hand on the brim of the hat to make a salute-like gesture, mainly to let the arm lines guide the line of sight, while using the hand's cover to slightly soften the facial highlight area. For the second photo, I picked up the dark blue box prop; the golden pattern on the surface of the box had a great texture, and I turned the box around so that the inverted English letters on it faced the camera, adding a bit of layering to the image.

The convention environment is always noisy, with people coming and going all around, and many metal railings and flight cases serving as backgrounds. Shooting in such an environment is no small test of physical strength and concentration. I had to constantly check whether my clothes were smooth and if the wig was messy, while also looking for relatively clean background angles in the crowd. Although what was shot were just two simple selfies, behind them were long hours of standing and countless times raising the phone to adjust angles. Regarding this Wuthering Waves creator incentive project, my participation mindset was more about recording, wanting to present my understanding of the character in the most direct way. Every time the shutter was pressed, it was an acceptance inspection of this preparation time; from costume tailoring to makeup adaptation, every link was a brand-new attempt. Throughout the process, although physically exhausted, seeing these records makes me feel that all the busyness is completely worth it, which is the most enjoyable part of offline conventions.
