Rivalry

The sun was out today for the first time in weeks. Unfortunately, just as I got to actually posing these two, clouds came and it got really dark. But since I’d taken the time to dress these two the night before (took like two hours due to having to iron the outfits and change limbs etc.) and set up the backdrop fabric, I thought: heck I’m not gonna stop without getting a single photo! Since it was dark already it was best to lengthen the exposure and I need a stand for that. So, I figured I might as well go all out with the pose (and take my time). Unfortunately it meant that I didn’t get a full shoot since just one took so much effort. So, the rest are pretty boring.

This is also the first time Delmia is wearing a uniform since changing her look. She had a dark theme before and wore a red and black uniform, but now that wouldn’t suit her anymore. Luckily I got this grey one back from Mizya since she sold her Apate in mini size and it suits Delmia well. Yay for not having to sew another one. Though, she does need a skirt of her own for it.

Synergy

(I’ll reply comments tomorrow, I’m too tired today. x_x)

Oh yay, today, I was able to try out a shoot I’ve been thinking about for a while now. The weather just hasn’t been really cooperating: whenever I start thinking about building a set on my bed, the sun goes away. And when I consider doing it on our balcony, it’s too sunny. Well, today I built it on the balcony after the sun had turned away, so HA! Beat it. The downside was that the sun was also going down so there wasn’t as much light as I would’ve liked. I had a really interesting reflector set up and then I brought in my fan and… it was interesting. :P

Anyway, Prisca and Delmia got matching dresses (finally, I’ve been thinking of making another one of this style for years) and I wanted to try some dynamic poses with them. Slightly repetitive with the poses but I wasn’t trying to get a full shoot out of this. I was, however, supposed to take some close ups but I forgot. Oh well, I really like the last two ones ♥


The test poses I started out with. I promise the rest are nicer.

Battling Dragons

These are all kind of similar again. Especially the Delmia photos because I was running out of light and camera battery. It was blinking quite a while before I stopped and then I just quickly snapped some close ups of her (which happen to be my favorite photos of these) hoping that the camera wouldn’t die on me.

Anyway, just executing an idea I had. Some more to come if the weather gets better -or if I could at least get some light indoors. :I I’m kind of sad that the pose where Prisca has her hip out nicely doesn’t really show in photos. Bad angles, I guess but I was paying more attention to other things.

Frost

This is sort of repetitive, but I got a package from Cuarto over a week ago and some weapon parts from Withdoll earlier this week and today was FINALLY a lovely day. No rain and no doom and gloom. I’ve also been eyeing this spot every day that I’ve driven past it on my way home from work. I just couldn’t resist. And I’ll definitely be shooting here more when the weather is right again.

Just headshots

Changes all around. I switched Delmia’s Angela head to Nana and I’m now seeing if I can bond with her better. Angela was a bit of a surprise doll and I’m not sure if I would’ve gotten her in normal circumstances (though I would have wanted the armour). And I have been thinking for quite a while that I should’ve gotten her in grey. I don’t do that well with really dark dolls (I have problems with my pale tan Dollshe, too). This is much better than the old head at least, so that one will be given away. I’m just not sure if this will stay or if I’ll have to try another mold again later.

I also got a Ruby head as an extra girl to keep around as a rolling head. She doesn’t have lashes yet, because they’re still somewhere in mail limbo. And so are the new wigs I got my Withdolls.
