Costume Details
Since Keqing is almost entirely purple, of course I wanted to cosplay her! I wasn’t particularly interested in making her outfit however, so I decided to purchase a premade version from Doki Doki Cosplay. Thankfully, the only part I needed to replace was the vision, however the original one was still quite good quality.
Keqing doesn’t have a signature weapon in Genshin Impact so I chose my favourite sword instead- Aquila Favonia. This was by far the most complicated 3D model I’ve ever done, and it was very tricky to print too. It’s also very fragile so I haven’t used it for a location shoot yet!
I wasn’t unable to wear/shoot this cosplay to a convention until October 2021 due to the pandemic. By this point I had already made my Ayaka cosplay, so I decided to use Ayaka’s sword (Mistsplitter Reforged) instead, since it fit Keqing’s colour scheme much better.
