[Tamamo no Mae cosplay] FGO's miko fox, maxed out details on the oversized tail

The saved photos from this Fes are finally sorted out. The material of this Tamamo no Mae costume is really exquisite. The blue wide sleeves are spliced with a black lining, and the waist belt with gold piping fits snugly, perfectly accentuating the waist curves. However, what satisfies me the most are the fluffy ears on top of my head and the large tail behind me. The prop team is truly dedicated; the fluffiness of the tail has a heavy, substantial feel in front of the lens. When walking or posing while sitting, it still takes a bit of skill to adjust its position so it doesn't look awkward.

Taking care of the wig is truly a technical job. For those bright pink twin-tails with a few white streaks, I spent a lot of time styling them, using specific hairspray to fix the bangs and sideburns to ensure they present that naturally drooping yet non-flying state in front of the lens. To recreate the character's slightly mysterious gaze, I deliberately wore gold-orange colored contact lenses, paired with warm-toned eyeshadow layered and blended to deepen the depth of the outer corners of the eyes, and the captured effect is exceptionally stunning.

During the shoot, I chose this gray stone platform as the background. The cool-toned stones just happen to set off the high-saturation bright blue and pink on my body very cleanly. How this outfit is worn is also quite particular; the placement of the strapless tube top paired with the black choker can wonderfully showcase the shoulder, neck, and collarbone lines. Although posing on the steps wearing platform flip-flops was a bit tiring—especially having to juggle various gesture actions, find the right sitting posture to make the leg lines look slender, and ensure that all parts of the costume wouldn't deform—seeing the overall effect created by the dark blue over-the-knee socks and the outfit in the final photos made it completely worth it.

Actually, the hardest part of this styling is maintaining that seemingly relaxed yet slightly tsundere expression; you can't smile too sweetly, and the gaze needs to have some penetrating power. Under natural light, the gold piping on the costume shimmers slightly, and the fur texture of the large tail was captured very clearly. Every time I try a character with a bit of a fantasy color, I feel like I gain new experiences in costume details and body language. I really love this batch of saved photos myself, and although the whole process was hard work, it was very enjoyable.
