[The Shorekeeper cosplay] Blue Starlight in Wuthering Waves, A Frozen Moment at the Convention

The convention lights shining on the blue hood, that starry fabric texture really hit the spot for me. Doing The Shorekeeper this time, from the smoothness of the wig to the silver spiral wrapping bands on my arms, every accessory was repeatedly checked and compared before the expo. To recreate the character's ethereal and slightly mysterious feel, the makeup intentionally toned down the lip color, focusing instead on the contours of the eyeshadow and fake eyelashes, paired with light blue colored contacts to make the gaze look softer.

The venue was actually very noisy, but the photographer was great at catching the right timing, using the flash to overpower the background and isolate the subject from the chaotic crowd. When shooting the picture on the ladder, the ribbons were blown up by the wind, and at that moment, I really felt the character came alive in the frame. Since the skirt has a relatively high slit, I had to be careful to prevent accidental exposure when sitting or squatting, so I specially prepared a gray plush mat. Later, I just took off my transparent sandals and stepped on the mat to shoot; being barefoot actually fit the character's light and otherworldly temperament much better.

Posing for convention photos is actually quite a test of physical stamina; we had to try various angles repeatedly, switching through several sets of poses—from standing to sitting, and then to kneeling and looking back—in just a dozen minutes. The blue butterfly accessory in my hand was pinned on at the last minute, and I didn't expect its reflection under the flash to be surprisingly amazing. Although I was a bit tired after the shoot, seeing the curve of the ribbons and the soft glow of light on my skin in the finished photos made me feel that all the previous preparation was worth it. The flowy feel of this costume and the character's cool detachment were pushed to the max as much as possible, and I hope you can feel my interpretation of this character.
