[Robin cosplay] Honkai: Star Rail Dreamland Anime Convention Fanta collaboration record

This Robin styling for Dreamland Anime Convention required quite a bit of effort in detailed preparation. To recreate the gradient feel of the light blue and orange highlights, the wig underwent repeated thinning and styling, especially the braid on the left side, which needed generous amounts of hairspray to stay secure and avoid unraveling while walking through the venue. The golden circular halo on top of the head and the blue-purple floral ornaments were focal points of the entire ensemble; to keep them in front of the line of sight without obscuring the face, the center of gravity during wearing required repeated adjustments. For the makeup, cyan-green contact lenses were paired with elongated eyelashes and eyeliner, small rhinestones were placed below the left eye, and a strong setting spray/powder was used to withstand the venue's heat. Although the white feather wings on the back looked lightweight, carrying them for extended periods was still somewhat stuffy, requiring extra caution to avoid bumping into surrounding crowds when moving around.

Upon arriving at the Dreamland Anime Convention venue, the crowd flow was much larger than expected. Due to the complex lighting, finding good selfie angles wasn't easy, often relying on my partner's help with lighting. Participating in the Fanta booth collaboration this time, the orange co-branded drinks displayed on site served as ideal photo props, creating a very photogenic color palette. When posing with the beverage, I had to ensure the can's logo faced the camera while keeping my makeup intact. During the booth interactive sessions, I tried the mini-games arranged by the organizers; with many photographers snapping shots around, maintaining expression and posture in dynamic motion was a true test. Fanta put genuine thought into their convention booth setup, and the staff were very warm, making the overall interactive experience smoother than anticipated.

Having Sunday Cosplay appear alongside me greatly reduced the shooting pressure. His silver-gray wig, light-colored casual shirt, and golden geometric halo visually complemented my styling remarkably well. When walking side by side, we intentionally kept a certain distance to prevent our head halos from clashing. Many passersby requested photos after seeing our combination, and we would remind each other to adjust facial angles and prop positions. Whenever posing for photos, I habitually shifted my center of gravity backward and turned slightly sideways to present a better silhouette before the lens. People often asked about how easy it was to put on, take off, and move around in these costumes—in an environment like an anime convention requiring hours of standing and walking, convenient design details are indeed essential.

As mentioned in the post description regarding the Fanta collaboration, it was truly a fun segment. After running around the exhibition hall all morning, drinking an ice-cold orange soda was wonderfully refreshing. We tidied up our wigs and outfits in the break area while discussing plans for the next stage of shooting. For a cosplayer, a convention is not only a venue to showcase characters, but also a dual test of physical stamina and patience. From starting makeup preparation in the morning to maintaining energy in the crowd through the afternoon, focus is required every moment. Especially when flashes concentrate on the face, keeping one's gaze clear and avoiding squinting under intense light requires repeated practice before the lens. This live-action record gave me more experience controlling facial shadows under messy lighting, such as utilizing the booth's ambient light to contour facial features.

Overall, the presentation of this styling at the convention achieved our expectations. From the fit of the costume to the delicacy of the props, everything withstood the test of the live environment. After the on-site shoot, organizing wigs and washing garments were tedious closing tasks; the blue hair fibers easily catch dust and require careful combing and maintenance after returning home. If given the chance in the future, I will definitely continue trying styles requiring extensive prep work and keep refining my grasp of character demeanor and movements in practice. The schedule for Dreamland Anime Convention was tight, but meeting so many like-minded friends made every interaction in front of the booth a valuable experience.
