The equipment for all four members in this Obol Squad armed prep is finally in place, following a long cycle of preparation leading up to the actual shoot.
First up is Soldier 11 cosplay. Short white wigs are tricky to style, requiring multiple trims to capture that effortlessly crisp layered structure. The yellow tactical sunglasses serve both as goggles and a vibrant color emblem for the tactical squad. For her black-and-yellow stand-collar vest and leather gloves, every buckle and strap placement underwent multiple fitting iterations to ensure shoulder seams wouldn't pull during arm lifts. Paired with this Mecha style outfit, the look excels in both studio and outdoor settings, flawlessly projecting a crisp, tactical aura.
Next is Orphie cosplay. Her vibrant orange short wig is extraordinarily eye-catching with high color saturation, nearly blending into the red backdrop. However, to highlight facial contours, eye makeup detailing became crucial; pale green contact lenses were specifically chosen to create striking eye color contrast. A tactical beret, stiff black leather collar, and red-and-blue armor plates with metallic ring buckles give this ensemble immense depth. Her grey gloves adorned with yellow strap accents add dramatic visual tension during tactical hand gestures.
Trigger cosplay posed a dual challenge with her long golden hair and mecha mask setup. The red hair ornament at the crown adds a unique flair from both front and side angles. The inverted triangle glowing zone in the center of the large black mask required multiple shading adjustments on set to dial in the ideal lighting effect—neither overexposed to lose outline details nor too dim to appear lifeless. Combined with yellow-and-black armored gloves and a silver mechanical firearm, her standing presence radiates outstanding silent intimidation. Because the mask covers the upper half of the face, eye line guidance and expression control during the shoot relied heavily on subtle lip movements and chin angles.
Lastly, the light teal short wig styling felt like the most airy and translucent look of the entire project. Mint green hair paired with a white choker, shoulder straps, and a subtly exposed shoulder complements the overall light-toned techwear, looking remarkably fresh against a blue backdrop. A silver flower ornament on the choker adds a touch of softness to the mechanical techwear vibe. White long gloves featuring mustard-yellow fingertips made hand poses an integral part of the composition.
Although the photos may look straightforward, patterning each gear set, trimming and selecting wigs, and finding the right contact lens matches demanded immense effort. The main photo set is currently in active preparation, and we hope to bring the members of Obol Squad vividly to life for everyone.
