This time I'm cosplaying the Izanami - Scarlet Bliss skin from Onmyoji Arena, and I'm sharing two preview convention/photoshoot images without any special effects first. I specifically asked post-processor Zhizhi to save the original unedited versions because some previous pictures were misjudged as AI. This time, I'm simply uploading the raw, unedited images directly so everyone can see the true texture.

First of all, I have to talk about the giant snake tail prop behind me. The prop made by Kirisu is truly breathtaking; when I first got my hands on it, I couldn't help but exclaim that the snake is so huge that a single screen truly can't fit it. To make it present perfectly in the frame, we put a lot of effort into the shooting, repeatedly tuning both the angle and the load-bearing. The scale texture on the prop and the glowing effect of the snake's head are even much more exquisite in person than in the photos.

Regarding the clothing, I really have to give a huge shoutout to the tailor ego. The details on this Izanami - Scarlet Bliss outfit are absurdly numerous, and the red, black, and gold main color scheme creates an intensely gorgeous vibe. The wide sleeves, complex obi, and those hanging golden rings and pearl tassels all require meticulous processing. The split skirt hem design adds a bit of sensuality to the overall look, and when walking or posing, the lines of the skirt look fantastic. The deep V-cut on the chest is also just right, retaining the character's aura while providing a great visual presentation. As for the strap part of the shoes and the barefoot feel, I am extremely satisfied with the accuracy.

The makeup was handled by Zuilan, and the gorgeous eyepatch on the right eye along with the red hair styling are the key to the overall look. The patterns and metal elements on the eyepatch were painstakingly applied entirely by hand piece by piece. Combined with the blue-green eyeshadow and the red wig, it fully brings out Izanami's mysterious and dangerous aura.

The studio was chosen at Luoying, and the set design and lighting for this session helped immensely. The purple ambient lighting combined with the Japanese-style folding screen background and huge blue paper flowers fit the style of the Izanami - Scarlet Bliss skin extremely well. Photographer Luoluo knows very well how to utilize these lights and shadows to capture the character's silhouette and clothing texture with great depth. During the shoot, we tried many angles just to make the props, clothing, and character's aura blend together perfectly in a single frame.

Thank you everyone for the hard work put into this photo set. From the tailor to the props and the studio, a lot of time was poured into every single step. Shooting this set was truly quite tiring because both the clothing and props are very heavy, and coupled with the complex styling, maintaining poses for a long time is a test of physical strength. However, seeing the final photos, all the exhaustion is totally worth it. I hope everyone likes this work, and see you in the next photoshoot!
