This Arknights: Endfield Liino styling has an extremely rich sense of layering in the overall costume. The top is spliced with deep purple and light purple layered trumpet sleeves, and the inner wear chooses a silver-white base with a bit of luster, matching the black straps at the neckline, making it very three-dimensional visually. The huge purple heart-shaped waist bag at the waist is the visual center of gravity, with metal zippers and fine stitching on the bag surface, matching the black belt and bows on both sides, greatly enriching the detail texture of this outfit. The skirt is a multi-layered irregular pleated skirt, and the outer purple edge is dotted with white star patterns. When walking, the draping sense and layering of the skirt hem are very clear. The purple headphone headpiece with cat ear tips on the head is also very characteristic, coupled with the pink gradient wig and pointed elf ears, the restoration degree of the overall styling depends on the stacking of these details.
In terms of makeup, to match this futuristic and dreamy costume, I wore bright blue contact lenses, deepened the contour with eye makeup, and matched it with thick false eyelashes, which can have a great magnifying effect both when opening and closing eyes in front of the lens. The purple gloves on my hands also make the overall color scheme highly unified. In the photos, my hands make a heart shape in front of my cheeks, and I closed one eye to make a wink expression. This action can well showcase the material of the gloves and the wrinkly feel of the sleeves at the shoulders.
This time it was shot live at the Hypergryph Carnival. The blue and white exhibition booth behind has various geometric shapes and star elements, coupled with colored confetti scattered on the ground, maximizing the overall atmosphere. However, I must mention that the purple light of the venue is really very strong. I wore black Stockings with hollow-out and strap designs at the thighs, paired with those purplish-blue geometrically cut platform shoes. Although my legs look very long, walking in platform shoes at a convention for a whole day is truly a physical chore. Moreover, because the ambient light on-site was too purple, to ensure that the original purple of the costume wouldn't be swallowed by the ambient light, a lot of effort was spent during post-processing color grading to gradually restore the skin tone and costume color while preserving the venue's atmosphere.
While taking photos, I tried different angles. Full-body shots can completely display the layers of the skirt hem, while half-body shots highlight facial expressions and makeup details more. Although the venue color had a certain impact on the output photos, I am still quite satisfied with the overall presented effect. I hope that the venue lighting for the next convention or carnival can be slightly softer, avoiding all-around high-saturation purple light, so that the costume's own color can have a better presentation, and also allowing cosers like us wearing platform shoes and complex cosplay costumes to have a little less dual pressure of photo retouching and walking.
