Just now during a break in the shoot, I tapped on this character's exclusive single. The melody and lyrics coming through the headphones really made my cheeks flush for a moment, but this shy emotion unexpectedly fits the atmosphere this group of photos wanted to convey today. The cosplay shooting project received this time is Sunna from Zenless Zone Zero, and there are also Sunna/Remi setting elements. As a member of the Angels of Delusion, she has both the dreamy feeling of a virtual idol and a slightly quirky girl trait.

To restore the ideal effect, we put a lot of thought into makeup, hair, and clothing. I styled this creamy yellow fluffy curly hair for a long time, striving to present a fluffy feeling that is natural yet retains a 2D style. The mint green headband and several small black hair clips on the head are the finishing touches, making the overall styling layers much richer. The eye makeup part intentionally emphasized the red-brown tone of the lower eyelid, cooperating with light-colored contact lenses to create a slightly lazy and innocent look.

The details on the clothing are even more worth pondering. The cuffs of the white short-sleeved shirt are designed with ruffles, paired with a red tie with a white star pattern, and the overall color is bright. The lower body is a black glossy pleated skirt, which can reflect a very nice texture under warm light, contrasting with the matte cotton material of the upper body. It's worth mentioning are the pink-and-white striped knitted sleeves on the arms and the matching slouch socks on the legs; these two items make the character's cuteness skyrocket. The legs are also paired with white translucent thigh-high stockings and black leather straps with silver rivets, and the mint green bow on the straps echoes the hair accessories just right. The black choker on the neck and the leather arm ring on the arm add a little bit of rebellion, and the thick-soled white shoes on the feet not only make the proportions look better, but are also relatively comfortable during long-time shooting.

The shooting location for today's group of photos was chosen in a sweet kitchen scene intertwined with pink, white, and blue. To match this macaron color tone, the lighting designer used very soft warm light, so hitting the face and light-colored wig would have a fuzzy, furry texture. The strawberry cake, oven, blue toaster, and those cute plate ornaments in the background gave the whole picture a strong sense of story. During the shooting, I tried poses such as squatting with hands supporting the chin, or sitting sideways and looking back, mainly to combine the character's little girl's coquetting and idol temperament. To showcase the completeness of the clothing, especially the leg stockings and strap details, the photographer also made many adjustments in composition, trying to show the layering and linear sense of the outfit while maintaining the character's demeanor.

As someone who frequently does cosplay, every time bringing a virtual character into a real scene requires finding a balance between restoring the settings and adapting to the real physical environment. Although my legs felt a bit numb from squatting today, looking at the playback on the camera, I felt that the early preparations and on-site adjustments were all worth it. I hope everyone can feel the charm of this character, which is also a wonderful experience of 2D characters meeting reality under the Virtual Idol setting.
