When shooting this casual everyday outfit for Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, my main focus was on recreating the character's relaxed, slice-of-life vibe. Styling the long white wig took quite a bit of time, especially braiding it into two thick plaits with Silver braided hair. To prevent split ends and frizz, I heat-set the ends and secured them with setting hairspray to ensure they wouldn't easily unravel during larger movements. The black horn-shaped headpiece on top required careful securing; I used multiple crossed U-pins at the base of the wig to keep it from slipping off during frequent head-touching poses. For makeup, I opted for blue-grey contact lenses, emphasized the aegyo-sal and lashes, and used eye-enlarging and lower-eyelid drooping techniques to stay closer to 2D Anime cosplay eye proportions on camera. While shooting, I adjusted my shoulder tilt angle to emulate that slightly aggrieved, pouting expression from the original artwork, looking straight into the lens. Because it included head-touching gestures, hand placement was adjusted repeatedly to keep movements natural and fluid. This light-blue hoodie was very comfortable, and paired with the overall backlit environment, it accentuated the rim lighting along the top of the wig. In post-processing, I preserved the skin's natural fine texture, only making minor skin tone tweaks and eye makeup enhancements without exaggerated warping or elongation. For the Mei meme, I deliberately brought out a slight pouting, aggrieved expression during shooting to make the overall vibe more playful and fun.
