[Specter the Unchained cosplay] D2 record of the Touhou Project comic convention

This comic convention lasted for two days. On D1, I cosplayed Cirno from Touhou Project, and on D2, I switched to Specter the Unchained. Although the blue-and-white dress on D1 looked very lively, the skirt hem was quite large, so walking around the exhibition hall required extra care to avoid bumping into others. By D2 with Specter the Unchained, the overall style completely shifted to a hardcore aesthetic.
The costume for Specter the Unchained has an abundance of details, featuring a black-and-white color scheme complemented by various metal buckles and strap designs, making dressing and undressing quite time-consuming. Especially the wide-brimmed hat with decorations; it tends to slide easily if movements are too large during shooting, so I had to constantly pay attention to head angles while posing. To highly recreate the character, I specially prepared a large chainsaw prop. Although this chainsaw is not exceptionally heavy to hold in hand, lifting it steadily to strike poses is definitely a significant test of arm strength and core stability. The tight waist design combined with straps also imposes some restriction on breathing, but in order to present a sharp, clean line in front of the lens, these challenges can be entirely overcome. Paired with black over-the-knee boots and an asymmetrical skirt hem on the lower body, I had to watch out for stepping on the fabric while walking.
Arriving at the venue around 1 PM, this time the focus was mainly on seeking mutual-benefit photography collaborations. Because I have certain standards for photo quality, the post explicitly stated that beginners are declined, which helps improve the efficiency of cooperation for both parties. When coordinating with photographers, I actively communicate the desired composition and lighting. For instance, with an outfit dominated by black and white, in a crowded and messy convention environment, it's necessary to use lighting or find clean backgrounds to highlight the texture. A prop like a large chainsaw takes up a lot of frame space, testing the photographer's control over angles and distance immensely. Although carrying a large prop and walking around the exhibition hall for a whole day makes my arms extremely sore, seeing the high-texture raw shots in the camera makes that sense of accomplishment truly worthwhile.
