[Ijichi Seika cosplay] The manager temperament in Bocchi the Rock!

I chose Ijichi Seika as the subject for this cosplay, and the actual shooting process was a bit more complex than expected. A lot of effort was put into handling that iconic triangular piece of stray hair on top of the head. Using hairspray and hair wax, it was repeatedly adjusted so that it could present a symmetrical triangular geometric shape in front of the lens. The overall bangs also needed to be trimmed just right to cover the eyebrows and eyes. I chose this pair of red-eyed makeup style with red contact lenses to set the character's gaze tone. The eyeliner needed to be intentionally elongated and upturned to neutralize the relatively flat facial bones, making the gaze look sharper, while retaining that lazy and composed temperament unique to the manager. The base makeup tried to restore the fair skin texture in the anime without heavy shading modification. The combination of the black choker and black top is the key to this outfit. Since there is no complex structural design, adjustments up and down on the wearing position around the neck were necessary to ensure that the proportion of this collar looks compact enough under front and side camera angles. Forming a clear black-white-yellow contrast with the blonde wig, this color relationship is very friendly to imaging effects. Indoor natural light plus top fill lights cast a clear contour light-shadow boundary line on the face. When adjusting poses, gently resting a hand on the front hair can well solve the problem of stiff hand postures and guide the line of sight to gather on the face. To fit the character setting, during the shoot I focused on how to present a skilled, effortless aura. Without too much facial expression management, maintaining a calm smile fits this state. The hair texture is also a part that needs attention; after lighting, the blonde wig presents golden reflections, showing natural layers under the light, which is a very important foundation for restoring the two-dimensional texture in post-processing. Some minor challenges were also encountered during this shoot, such as the weight of the wig body and the stability of the headwear, which needed to be adjusted from time to time to maintain the best state. Overall, the restoration degree of the costumes, makeup, and styling reached the expected effect this time, with sufficient preparation made from wig trimming to makeup details, and the presentation of light and shadow also made the facial contours more stereoscopic. The shooting process was smooth and successful, making it a very meaningful attempt that left a clear visual record.
