This time, the convention photos mainly aimed to recreate Nahida's quiet and slightly divine feeling. The material of the costume is crucial; I chose a fabric with a slight gloss, matching green textures and golden piping, which presents a very good texture under the lighting. The wig part is the key point; I spent a long time styling the gradient from silver-white to emerald green, ensuring the hair strands flow naturally without looking rigid. The hair ornament on the left side is put together with golden hollow-out and green embellishments, fixed firmly with hairspray. To enhance the elf feel, I specially chose these transparent pointed ear covers, with the edges blended so they look as if they grew naturally. In terms of makeup, the eye makeup is the core. A large area of green eyeshadow blending, combined with emerald green contact lenses, and a slight enlargement treatment in post-processing make the eyes look more spiritual. The base makeup pursues extreme whiteness and flawless perfection, adding a little pink blush to make it look more like a doll stepped out of a 2D anime. To achieve this doll-like feel, I added quite a few sequins on the lower eyelids and aegyo-sal, which create very obvious reflective points under the flash, making the gaze look more agile. During the shoot, I tried several poses, and finally chose kneeling with both knees together. My hands hung gently in front of me, and my eyes looked straight into the lens, expressing a state that is somewhat timid yet very determined. Although the venue for the convention photos was limited, through the bokeh of a large aperture, the light stands and passersby in the background turned into dreamy light spots, instead adding a unique atmospheric feel to the scene. The glowing butterfly in the first photo was added by me in post-processing. In the game, Nahida is always surrounded by such glowing elements; to increase the layering and dreamy feel of the image, I tried painting a translucent white butterfly with a brush, adding a glowing effect to the edges of the wings so it looks like it's really breathing. The green arm ring on the arm didn't glow originally; I slightly brightened the green elements in post-processing to make the overall tone more uniform. The second photo is a relatively pure convention photo record without special effects, focusing more on presenting the static posture and the details of the costume itself. Regarding the details of the costume, the vine patterns on the skirt are not printed, but pieced together using different fabrics plus three-dimensional decorations, so they produce different shadow effects under different lighting, which was a huge plus during the shoot. The golden jewelry on the wrists is slightly heavy; to capture that lightweight feel, I tried my best to keep my arms in a relaxed state. The whole process was actually quite tiring; kneeling for too long makes the legs prone to numbness, and holding that pose motionless waiting for focus is tough. However, seeing the effect of the final photos, it feels like everything was worth it. Costumes with this kind of mysterious and natural elements have quite high demands on lighting during comic conventions or studio shoots; I suggest friends who want to shoot a similar style can try overhead lighting and side-backlighting more, which can outline the character's contours wonderfully while making the gloss of the fabric more obvious. Apologies for any OOC, hope everyone likes this attempt.
