This time, I shot the 'Fading Dreams, Dimming Shadows' OL look of Bronya from Honkai Impact 3rd, which is the Silverwing: N-EX that everyone is familiar with. The design of this costume is incredibly exquisite. The navy blue cropped jacket is paired with a white knit inner top, along with a black miniskirt and lace-up high heels, making the overall look both capable and a bit sci-fi.
The part that required the most effort was this long silver-gray wig. A lot of work went into trimming and styling it, and the layering and flow of the hair strands were repeatedly adjusted to make the look more full and dimensional. For the shoot, I chose a relatively minimalist indoor scene, like a wooden desk and chair, aiming to create a sense of daily routine in an office environment.
The photographer @Xi is excellent at capturing expressions. During the shoot, we focused on highlighting Bronya's calm yet somewhat soft aura. We also tried many different poses; sitting makes it look more composed, while leaning against the edge of the desk gives the composition a more narrative feel. The lighting in the final photos is amazing, which not only highlights the details of the hair strands but also perfectly presents the texture of the clothes. As a player of Honkai Impact 3rd, I'm really happy to recreate this side of Bronya. The prop preparation and the synchronization of makeup and hair during the process made it a great Cosplay outfit experience.
