[Tachibana Nozomi cosplay] Blue Archive Nozomi's everyday pajama fitting trial

This time I did the pajamas styling of Tachibana Nozomi from Blue Archive.

Regarding the makeup and styling, the wig is a bright green long straight hair with blunt bangs. The wig was a bit frizzy when I first got it, so I spent a lot of time smoothing it out and trimming the length of the bangs so that they just covered the eyebrows. It was paired with orange-yellow contact lenses and pinkish eye makeup, with the outer corners of the eyes slightly smudged. The base makeup chose a fair-toned texture; since it was going to be shot under lights, brightening it up a bit makes the overall state look better. For the ears, I wore skin-colored elf ears props, using skin wax to slightly modify the edges to make the transition with the original ears more natural. However, after shooting for a long time, the ear clips still feel a bit pinching, which is inevitable.

In terms of clothing, because this set is self-styled, some details might not be fully accurate, so I'd like to apologize here. I chose a light blue dress, and the white lace flower decoration on the chest was specially picked by me to add some soft layering. It is layered with a beige open-knit cardigan with tassels on the edges, so the overall color scheme is blue, white, and plus beige, looking relatively clean and homey. In fact, during the styling process, I was always considering how to bring out that so-called maternal radiance, or rather a gentle and relaxed state. Friends in the post said it might be because of the hairstyle. After looking at the photos after shooting, I do think the hairstyle played a huge factor. Long green hair with blunt bangs, as long as the gaze is slightly softened, the whole person appears quiet. Compared to some sharpness usually, this styling is indeed more daily and soft.

During the shooting process, the photographer Yexing Yougui has been helping me find angles. In the first picture, I tried raising my arm and doing a one-eyed wink, wanting to express a playful feeling. The second picture is turning back sideways with hands crossed on the shoulder side, which can bring out a quiet atmosphere. In the third picture, I sat directly on the gray long-pile carpet, supporting my chin with both hands and making a V-sign. Considering the overall homey feel at the time, I specially matched cute white mid-calf socks with cartoon patterns and light-colored clogs with cat faces, wanting to present a casual and cute state. The fourth picture is standing and making a heart gesture, which is a relatively classic interactive action.

Overall, after shooting, although the self-styled details are not fully restored and there might be some OOC (out of character), I think the key is to experience this relaxed living state of the character. The fabric of the clothes and the hair strands of the wig have a decent texture under the lens, and the lighting is relatively soft. I hope this attempt at a different style allows everyone to see a different feeling, and thanks to the photographer for their patient guidance.
