[Rita cosplay] Honkai Impact 3rd Phantom Iron Fitting, Braving the Heat for a First Run

Putting on this Phantom Iron outfit for a fitting shoot for the first time, the overall effect has much more presence than imagined. Seeing the concept art before, I thought the scythe looked extremely cool, but holding the actual piece in hand made me realize that long-handle props place a high demand on center of gravity control; when striking poses, one must pay close attention to the angles so it doesn't look sluggish. The structure of the waistband and the leg straps is actually quite complex, and it took a few rounds of adjustments to find the right tightness—it can't be too tight to restrict movement, yet it must ensure sharp and clean lines for the look. The transparent material of the skirt hem is stiffer than anticipated, and the contrast with the black inner lining looks great on camera. Although the accessories haven't fully arrived yet, missing a few key decorative pieces, I still wanted to do a quick shoot first to check the accuracy of the general framework. What attracts me most about this costume is its overall color scheme and mechanical design; the combination of black, white, and green is exceptionally sharp, and the fluorescent strips on the scythe reflect light remarkably well under actual illumination. If I can get all the details sorted out later, the overall texture should turn out even better. Braving the 30-plus degree weather today in long boots and thick fabrics really tested my willpower; I had to wipe off sweat and catch my breath after every single shot, but seeing the final images makes it feel completely worth it. BW opens tomorrow, and I hope to have the chance to take more high-end edited photos at the venue, and I look forward to seeing everyone's interesting 2D creations at the expo.
