[Gongsun Li Cosplay] Bunny-eared combat girl in the sand

This time doing Gongsun Li's bunny-ear look was full of unexpected situations yet full of surprises. In fact, ever since the makeup and styling stage, I've been pondering how to nail that feeling of being both cute and a bit combat-ready. That pair of giant white fluffy bunny ears on top of my head is the soul of the whole look; putting them on instantly gave me the character's atmosphere. The wig uses a very bright pink, specially braided into double braids with small buns on both sides, which not only looks lively but also better flatters the face shape. For the makeup, blue-purple colored contact lenses were used to echo the overall cool tones, the eye makeup was drawn quite full, and pink-toned lipstick was chosen for the lips, aiming to create a two-dimensional vibe that is sweet yet playful.

The details of the costume are truly crafted with great care. The upper body is a white strapless top with light blue piping along the edges, and the blue straps and ruffled trumpet sleevelets on the chest give the whole look a sense of lightness. The lower body's light blue polka-dot pleated skirt, combined with the exaggerated big pink bow at the waist, makes the skirt fly and full of dynamic feel when walking. The paired white stockings and white strapped sandals are also designed to match the overall color scheme. The pink-and-white toy assault rifle held in the hand is an excellent prop, full of sticker details, and holding it instantly gives off that combat-girl vibe.

This set of photos was taken by the reddish-brown sandy ground and blue water edge. The natural light on that day was fantastic. To capture that dreamy macaron color scheme, we tried to avoid the harsh light of noon during light selection and chose a slightly softer time slot. During post-processing color grading, the saturation and lightness were deliberately boosted to separate the blue water area in the background from the reddish-brown sand, making the blue-white-pink color scheme on the character stand out even more. Because the background elements are relatively messy, the blur effect brought by the large aperture played a great role here, steadily pulling the visual center back onto the subject.

I have to mention that "little episode" everyone understands. The shoulder strap design of this top is actually a bit delicate; I kept paying attention to my movements during the shoot, and only when reviewing the photos later did I find that one side of the shoulder strap had slipped off at some point. I really didn't mean it, absolutely didn't do it as an edge-playing trick; I was completely unaware at the time and only realized it after looking at the photos. However, such a casual little accident actually added a bit of true vividness, just like a momentary relaxation in battle. Everyone, when looking at the photos, please focus more on those cute bunny ears and the carefully matched blue and white skirt.

The shooting process for the whole set was extremely enjoyable. Styles full of high saturation and bright colors always put people in a good mood whenever they look at them. Pink double ponytails paired with big bunny ears—running around in the sand and by the water made me feel like I truly entered that world full of fantasy battles.
