This set of Pure Yang loli cosplay is quite exquisite in detail processing. The overall color scheme adopts blue, white, and black, with the outermost layer being a semi-transparent sheer gauze with polka-dot patterns, and the inner layer spliced with printed fabric. When walking, the sheer gauze and base fabric create a visual disparity, resulting in an exceptionally rich sense of layering. The white lace stand-up collar at the neckline and the large blue bow on the chest are the visual center, paired with those silver-textured metal pendants and chains, which reflect light wonderfully under the convention site's lighting.
To maintain the thickness and drape of the blunt bangs, the wig styling was pre-set using a hair straightener. The two hair buns on top of the head have hair loops padded inside, allowing them to support sufficient height without easily collapsing. The white jade ring hair ornament and the pom-pom are fixed to the base of the hair buns using bobby pins, making them very sturdy so there is no need to worry about them falling off while running around the venue.
To match this 2D anime styling, a lot of effort was put into the makeup. Large-diameter circle lenses combined with a pinkish-brown eyeshadow base, deepened at the outer eye corners, and then false eyelashes and prominent aegyo-sal were used to enlarge the eyes. The tear mole under the eye was intentionally dotted on with an eyeliner pen to increase recognizability. The blusher on the face was applied slightly heavier to maintain that youthful, childish complexion even under harsh lighting environments.
This time at the site of the CICF (China International Cartoon & Game Festival), the blue-and-white checkered background matched with the bright red tablecloth featured extremely high color saturation. A white phone tripod and fill light were placed on the table to conveniently record the on-site dynamics at any time. To match the rhythm of Xiaodan's choreography, I tried different body postures before the lens. When resting my chin in my hands, the lace trim on the wrists could be just right displayed; when making the cat paw gesture, it brilliantly highlighted the sheer texture of the flared cuffs; when making a V-sign, tilting the head slightly made it look even more playful.
When interacting with the photographer on-site, gaze tracking was crucial. Because the wig was relatively heavy, head-turning movements had to be as gentle as possible, using the shoulders to drive the rotation of the head so that the captured photos would have smoother lines. The white paper and yellow pen on the table were also intentionally used to create a situational feel of the junior sister resting and writing in the practice room. The sleeves of this outfit are very large; during on-site item retrieval or close-up interaction, I would subconsciously gather the cuffs to prevent the sheer gauze from being snagged and torn by surrounding booth props. Although sheer gauze material looks great on camera, it is also prone to static electricity, so I brought anti-static spray as a backup.
Throughout the entire shooting process, the focus was mainly placed on the display of the upper body and facial expressions, utilizing the height of the red table to naturally form an intimate feeling of leaning on the table edge and chatting with the lens. In a crowded and noisy environment like a comic convention, calming down to focus on the lens and showcasing the junior sister's light and lively state was a thoroughly pleasant offline experience.
