[Sandrone Cosplay] An Academic Afternoon in Nod-Krai, Genshin Impact

The theme of this shoot was set as "The Daily Life of a Scholar in Nod-Krai," so I deliberately chose an indoor scene with a scholarly vibe to match Sandrone's temperament. I made slight adjustments to the wig this time, purposely styling a few fluffy layers, which, combined with the multi-layered structure of the headpiece, makes the overall look more three-dimensional. The focus of the makeup was on the proportions of the brows and eyes. To recreate the character's cold yet calculating feel, I elongated the eyeliner slightly, and paired with light-colored contact lenses, the intense focus in her gaze really came through.

Regarding the costume, there are plenty of details like the golden accessories at the waist and the red gem at the collar. Before shooting, I spent some time arranging the flow of each layer of fabric to ensure that the lace on the hem and cuffs maintained a natural drape in both sitting and standing positions. The pose of holding up the teacup in the first photo was actually practiced several times, as I needed to control the strength of my wrist and the openness of my shoulders simultaneously to avoid looking stiff.

The tailoring of this look is quite demanding to carry. The off-the-shoulder design of the top combined with the detached sleeve structure requires elegant shoulder and neck lines. Therefore, I did some simple warm-ups before shooting to avoid any shrugging issues in front of the camera. The post-processing mainly unified the warm ambient light, making it a better match for the texture of the wooden bookcase and brass clock, and preventing the originally cool-toned costume from looking too disconnected. I hope everyone likes the presentation of this version. With every shoot, I hope to capture the truest side of the character, rather than just a superficial resemblance.
