This is so very out of character, because Sebille would NEVER be this close to Demyan willingly. He’s more of a random prop here, because otherwise this is in character for Sebille. At least in the past was because she was a model. I got her this Leeke wig because I had nobody else to get a blackberry colour for (not that you can see the colour well in these photos) and it kind of channeled her young self, so I had to style her accordingly.
I got Llyr an armguard in the mail today. I would’ve gotten it on Tuesday already if customs hadn’t snatched it and demanded a HUGE 7€ ransom for it and then stalled with it for forever. The irony is strong because I also got a DC package that would’ve been worth like 5 or more times that and they let that one get through. Anyway, Llyr also has new-ish horns and a new-ish top+hood+sleeves so I thought it was about time I took at least some photos of him. Nothing amazing though, because I wasn’t really all that inspired.
Headshots only because I was too lazy to go properly into the forest to have a better background. ^^;
I’ve been trying to do this shoot for days now, but today was the first time I succeeded. I’ve been waking up in the crack of dawn and cycling to the lake to see if there’s fog. Today there was so I cycled right back, picked up Sigrun and went back. Only I was in such a hurry that I forgot my rubber boots and had to go into the lake barefoot. Oh well, let’s just hope I don’t catch a cold because I have things to do.
I love this Souldoll dress even more now that I noticed that it floats, instead of sinking.
These are all similar, but I was just trying to get one good shot.
Okay, this took me a side of forever, but it’s finally done. Not entirely happy with it but I just don’t care anymore. x_x

Shall we get to it?” The demon inquired.
Also from mizya’s visit. I’m quite loving these because they’re (some of them) quite different in a way.
Lilya loves photography. It’s her hobby and she probably asked Hisoka to come along this time because she didn’t want to go alone and have people stare. xD
Mizya visited with Mi Cha (and Hisoka) and we took some outdoor photos. I’m really happy with a lot of what I took today, though more with the HisaLily shots, but I’ll post those later. For now it’s just our cutie couple. :D
I won an Asis from Soom’s post MD event and she arrived a few days ago. :D I’ve been working hard getting her ready since then and I’m soo happy with her. She’s the one fairy I’d been regretting not getting because she’s the perfect package for me looks wise (and white skin <3). Her wig is still in the mail, though, so this is not the final look, but a mohair wig I made quickly from some scraps I had left. But I couldn’t resist trying this shot because I’ve had it in mind for a while now. Moonlight and gardens are Eris’ “theme”.
I’m ridiculously happy with this set of photos, too. They’re kind of amateuristic as it was my second time ever shooting during night (and first time with flash). But I had so much fun and an hour just blew past. I didn’t want to stop at all. The weather was perfect too: not too cold, not to warm, no mosquitoes, no wind. I got a proper flash in my camera swap (my body for a new body + external flash) so I was finally able to try this. Well, I’d like another flash too, but as things are now, I wouldn’t be able to control it because the micro switch is really stuck good in this camera. :/ This time I did have this very fancy (not), flashlight + reflector set up too. At one point I called my dad outside to hold another reflector to direct the flash better. Haha. It was definitely interesting and I loved it and this certainly won’t be the last time I shoot at night.
My shoots with these three tend to always go in a direction I did not plan… Oh well. :)
I have a story coming up as soon as I find the inspiration to re-read the text part to weed out any mistakes I might’ve left in there.
But in the mean time I took some Sigrun photos while I was out testing my new camera <3
I made my extra Onyx head into a siren and I love her lots. She needs a name but for now she’s just “siren”. I also want to re-blush the hands+arms to match her darker colour scheme but I couldn’t wait to take at least a few photos. Too bad they didn’t come out at all how I wanted them to. The weather was really against me. It was supposed to be cloudy and rainy but nope, all the clouds strategically moved around the damn sun and the wind was horrible. I had the doll on a stand so I didn’t have to worry about her falling, but me? The waves were so strong it was really hard to stay upright and not shake the camera. Also the sun really does not compliment her at all. She’s all dark but pale and would really work with gloomy weather much better.
I got so fed up with the sun that I settled with the photos and went for dull poses and backlight. I also had this waterproof camera bag with me and I was planning on taking a low angle shot of her but the waves were too strong. I’m gonna try that shot again sometime later in the month I guess but not sure if I’ll make it for the challenge. I’ll drag mizya with me and people can call us crazy (again) for ‘swimming’ when it’s already way cold. xD
The first shots are taken with the waterproof bag, so the quality isn’t very good, then when I went to take my camera out of the bag, I also changed her wig. And at one point a strong wave knocked off her other arm finn. I’m glad I noticed before I left cause it would’ve been hard (if not impossible) to find later. When I noticed it was gone, it hadn’t moved much yet despite the strong waves. Luckily resin is pretty heavy.
Oh but hey, even though I didn’t get the kind of photos I wanted, I did get to swim a bit with the beach almost all to myself. It’s 10 degrees cooler now than it has been for like a month so people assume it’s way too cold to swim. The lakewater was really warm, though… unlike the wind.
I took these a few weeks ago, but I’ve been feeling really out of it and didn’t get around to re-sizing them. More to come later.
Lilya grew a whole lot with her new body and she’s way too tall for her character right now, but unfortunately this is the only body that has the right shape and is the right size for the stupidly ginormous Iple head. >_>*** And I change change her head mold because there aren’t any others that are as perfect for her. Sigh.
I’d like to feel inspired again and take some more outdoor photos but currently my sewing machine refuses to sew leather and I kind of need leather clothes for what I had planned so… :/
Mizya visited and we took a photography trip. First we stopped at a maintenance road, then at a lake (didn’t get photos there though because of too many people around) and then we went to an old quarry and climbed to the peak. It was a bit before 10PM and the sun was low, but still above the treeline, so we got some nice romantic photos with strong backlight. x3
