I will never tire of seeing your characters interact in this loft diorama, there is so much detail and something different to appreciate with each angle you take shots from. I love all the character designs and tailoring, as well as their alternate outfits - it was almost overwhelming seeing them all together in a single massive post, but such a treat as always. Awe-inspiring work on all accounts, and might I remind you it was when I randomly came across your 1/6 photography through a simple Google search, that I was inspired to take up the hobby seriously myself. And your craftsmanship continues to be an inspiration and magical viewing experience with each new gallery; thank you for sharing your intricate universes with us all here, and keep it coming!!!
Ah, Can't believe I left this comment unanswered so long! Thanks so much AlKelAstra. My biggest hope is always to be able to draw you into this world for a little bit, so that means a ton to hear. And hearing you found my work inspiring is huge to me, and it's paid off in how much I've enjoyed all the incredible work you've shown. Seriously, just epic and utterly distinctive, and if I've inspired you at all, I've already been rewarded tenfold. Can't thank you enough for the kind words.

The first time around I was so overwhelmed I didn't fully take in all the various gifts everyone received...the amount of work that must have gone into creating those gifts alone is incredible! Likewise, I can imagine you must have had fun decorating that mini Yule tree. And Krysa wearing nothing but an apron and her black underwear reminds me of that scene in Empire Records... ;p
One thing that I only just noticed.... is there an in-story reason why Berlin wasn't at the party?
Ah, I'm so happy you came back around for another look, and especially that you're finding all these details! And my god, you're so right. I actually kinda agonized over presents. Corbin totally has a toy collection, and all of those robots are individually painted, most experimenting with different effects, with specifically designed packaging. Isblomma is discovering she loves music, so they got her a record player of her own. The flower they gave Alice has mystical properties, and only grows in the lands of Autumn, now lost to the blight. The box is actually from Autumn's capital, bought on the black market and probably looted as the city and castle was evacuated. Krysa just like flashy jewelry and hitting things.
And holy crap, that DEFINITELY must be the effects of that Empire Records scene, lurking in the back of my mind. What a fantastic movie.
As far as Jeff and Berlin's absence, they're actually way more Abel's friend's than they are aquainted with the rest of the group. Delia actually kinda doesn't like Berlin, and thinks she's a bit cold and aloof, while grudgingly admitting that she is ridiculously cool and an incredible musician. What Delia doesn't know is that Berlin is completely intimidated by her, is actually a bit awkward, and really wishes they could be friends. We'll see if that changes any time soon

well... my eternal and fervent envy for this diorama is with you... always and forever (yes, I know that meaning is covered by eternal, just wanted to stress it)
No need to list all the stuff I consider cool and awesome... just EVERY bloody damn thing in this... (ok, let's pick the stair case for special praise).
The posing is sooooo delightful all over.... (picking the one with Krysa in her apron making eggs)... will certainly revisit this post
I am so floored - not sure I will ever get up again. Just stay down for my convenience, I guess.
Yes!!! I'm always aiming for the knockout!
So incredibly glad you enjoyed! I had so much fun with this shoot and so happy it comes through. And yeah, it is definitely shot with the hopes of repeat visits.
