[Luo Tianyi cosplay] Ruling the World blue and gold color scheme traditional Chinese armor styling

This time, my Luo Tianyi Ruling the World styling aims to try the feeling of combining traditional Chinese style with traditional Chinese armor. A lot of thought went into the details of the entire outfit. The wig is grayish-green; the two ring-shaped hair buns on top look simple, but actually have wires and hair pads stuffed inside, and it took almost half a bottle of hairspray to fix them in place. The long hair on both sides was also layered and trimmed to restore the flowy feeling in the original art as much as possible.

The color scheme of the costume alternates between blue, white, and gold. The outer bright blue fabric is printed with diamond-shaped dark plaid patterns, with golden piping treatments along the edges. The shoulders and chest are dotted with golden circular decorative buckles, and the neckline and cuffs are spliced with white plush edges. Wearing this outfit requires someone else's help; adjusting the back straps and shoulder armor is quite strenuous, and once worn, the stiff fabric supports the person into a very upright and rigid silhouette.

The long sword in hand is the highlight of the entire styling. The light grayish-white scabbard features extremely delicate white relief textures, resembling a combination of auspicious clouds and dragon patterns. Although the sword is a prop, it still has some weight when held in hand. When shooting these two photos, the first one has me holding the long sword horizontally and looking straight into the lens; to showcase that disdainful expression, the gaze needs to be fixed, and the spine must be held straight with effort. The second one has me lowering my head to look at the sword body, with half-drooped eyes, making the emotion more introverted and calm, conveying that feeling of "plotting before acting."

In terms of makeup, this time the eyeliner was deliberately elongated and slightly upturned, and a deep reddish-brown eyeshadow was used to deepen the contours, matching the grayish-green wig to present an overall cold tone. When posing, holding the long sword steadily kept the arm muscles in a tense state, and my hands were so sore after shooting a set. Especially when adjusting the position of the scabbard, I had to constantly make sure it wouldn't slip, while also controlling facial expressions so that the sense of exertion wouldn't show on my face.

Traditional Chinese style cosplay pays great attention to posture and aura in action design. Although this outfit does not have a large area of exposed skin, the complex layering and metal-textured accessories carry a natural sense of weight. During shooting breaks, I constantly needed to tidy up the flattened bangs and cuffs, and the wig was also prone to snagging on the golden buttons of the shoulder armor. To make the frame look cleaner, a pure white background was chosen, utilizing indoor even lighting to highlight the color contrast of the costume and the texture details on the scabbard. The overall shooting process was very interesting, and I tried a style different from the past.
