[Ace Taffy cosplay] Berserker tactical girl's combat posture

Once this tactical gear with the Berserker setting was put on, that sense of oppression and desire to fight immediately came out. Having previously released a preview, many people said they wanted to see me holding this rifle, and today this set of official photos finally meets everyone.
The shooting scene was chosen in an indoor studio full of industrial style, with the background entirely composed of intricate black cables and metal scaffolding. This cold and hard cyberpunk texture formed a very strong visual contrast with the pink twin tails. The Berserker I portrayed this time retained the classic pink twin tails and black bow hair accessories in styling, while the makeup heavily emphasized a sharp gaze, with eye makeup deeper than usual, paired with amber-colored contact lenses, hoping to convey a dangerous aura of being ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
In terms of clothing coordination, this wine-red and black spliced dress is extremely rich in details. The white lace at the neckline and the huge pink bow on the chest, along with the black lace gloves and detachable sleeves on the arms, are full of a mix-and-match flavor of gothic and functional style. The golden gear patterns and metal chains on the skirt hem, as well as the strap-style leg rings on the legs, not only increased the overall layering, but also made the combat setting more full. Because the setting includes cat elements, I would also deliberately retain a hint of feline laziness and alertness during the shooting. To be honest, however, maintaining a kneeling posture in this outfit while steadily holding this tactical rifle with a scope consumed far more physical strength than imagined.
The first photo is my favorite full-body composition, where I kneel on both knees, supporting the gun body with one hand and slightly raising the other hand. This posture can completely display the costume's tailoring, the skirt details, and the texture of the leg straps and Stockings cosplay. To capture that fierce sense of oppression, the photographer specially adopted cold-toned lighting, with the shadows of the metal scaffolding falling into the background, making my entire persona seem as if immersed in the brief peace before battle. The second posture on the black leather sofa involved leaning the body forward and reaching one hand out toward the lens, with the background being shutters and dappled light and shadow. This action had a bit less murderous intent and a bit more interactive and provocative meaning.
The third and fourth ones showed me holding up the firearms, looking for different points of force exertion. A low-angle upward shot can greatly enhance the character's aura, making the tactical rifle in hand look heavier and more realistic. Shooting this kind of tactical-style work makes the focus of the gaze very crucial; it cannot look hollow and must have that focus of staring at prey. The prop gun in my hand was not light in weight, requiring core tightening throughout the entire process, with arm muscles remaining tense all the time. After a few sets of actions, my shoulders and wrists were indeed sore.
In post-processing retouching, I tried to preserve the skin texture and environmental graininess without over-smoothing, hoping to present a cold, realistic effect. The style of this set of photos is very different from my usual sweet route, but trying to break out of my comfort zone and challenge this aggressive and dark-functional Tactical girl style made me feel extremely gratified. From makeup and hair, costume coordination to prop utilization, every single link poured in the understanding of the character setting. I hope everyone likes this Berserker form, as this is a visual presentation I prepared with great care.
