So I haven't posted anything in a long time; I basically took a break from the 1/6th hobby and my creativity in general in the midst of some personal problems that took place in the latter half of last year. I just didn't have the motivation or interest to partake in a lot of the things I enjoyed before, but with some healing time and the turn of the new year offering new possibilities, I recently rediscovered my 'creative mojo' and decided to try and get back into the swing of things. A lot of this project has been re-hashing and modding previous figures/dioramas, with just a couple new things thrown in.

The being called Gheizt was a supernatural lifeform; a shape-shifter of sorts, known to go through a metamorphosis of physical and psychological mutation, while still retaining some semblance of memory from past lives (yeah, like Doctor Who). Though he was once infected by the extraterrestrial parasitic organism that plagued so many others, like his friends Ashteran and Aurora, Gheizt was eventually able to separate himself from the organism with the help of the goddess Kaelani. However, having fallen into a deep coma following his last mutation, Gheizt was unable to assist in finishing off the alien organism, who had taken control of a new host named Kallius. The goddess Kaelani was forced to team up with the Shaman trickster named Trey, who shared a mutual disdain for the alien lifeform's harmful presence on Earth. But even their combined efforts were not enough to defeat Kallius, who overpowered and enslaved the two to his will. It has been prophesied that only the power of three, born from the womb of the Dreamstar cocoon, will finally defeat the invaders. But this can only be accomplished if they are willing to put aside their differences, their past mistakes and wrongdoings, and work together.

That's it for the main photoshoot. But I also found some really cool filters on this app called PicShot, and figured I'd share the results. It gives a rather surreal vibe to 1/6 figure photographs.

Once again great story telling and fantastic designs! The appearance of the saviour was quite touching. Smile
I also really like those artsy effects on the photos. Especially the second one!

Ahh, welcome back! Wonderful to see you and your creations here again. I love you

I love the whole set up here -- the backdrop and dio work really well. The design for Kallius (?) is great, and the cracks in the rock where he punches it are a neat touch. And is that Gheizt in his new form ? Very gripping all the way through! Smile

I'm glad to see your creative mojo back up and running. Smile And producing the beautifully grungy post-apocalyptic fantasies you do so well. Once again my eyes feasted on the wealth of detail, the fully-developed characters, the interactive posing, and the cool special effects. Like Sky, loved the addition of the hole and cracks punched into the wall. And you found yourself some very cool filters, although I hope you continue to present your work in your usual way.

The storytelling and photography is wonderful. And the effect of the filters is really nice.

The figures have really nice outfits too.

Very cool stuff. Glad to hear you are doing a bit better, and to see you back working on your unique world. From the above storyline it feels like you put a bit of your own unfortunate situation into it, which can be very cathartic. Hope things continue to improve for you.

The new character is pretty cool looking, and interesting filter technique.

AlKelAstra! So nice to see you back! This photo shoot is awesome. Gheizt's new incarnation looks great, and loving the new villian! And those shots of Gheizt appearing in the glowing light - So perfect! Really love coming back to this world.

You have also been busy with your figures and your dios, they are greater than before. I really like that new pale faced guy.

Thank you! Glad you liked that part, tried to manipulate the light effects in a dramatic way and seems it worked out. The second is probably my fave too, I like the way the colors were intensified!

I appreciate the welcome back, happy to participate here again. 😊 I have been waiting to introduce Kallius for a while, but wanted it to be at the right time. Glad everyone likes his design. For the wall holes/cracks, I have also been wanting to show the progress destruction of a battle damaged environment over time, and eventually leave the whole thing in ruins after an intense battle. But that will only be after I am sure I am done using it for the other shoots, haha.

Yeah definitely, I just thought those were fun to play around with. Though I will probably continue to use the mobile programs to edit and tweak future photos since I no longer have access to a PC (it was unfortunately stolen).

Thank you, I appreciate the support. And I am glad you recognized what I was doing with this storyline and the one before; the last photoshoot was about feeling trapped and imprisoned by oneself, while this one is about regaining freedom and independence.

Thanks man, means a lot. 😁 Glad you still approve of the reincarnations! I wasn't sure how that shot would turn out, it was actually just experimentation.

Also, I had a handful of more shots I wanted to get, and just wrapped up the next part of this scene. So here it is!

HAHA AWESOME! Thank you!! Keep'em coming!
The "What the...hell? Why can't I...?"-Moment was my favourite. Beautifully captured that irritation. Very Happy

Just amazing - totally cool setup and perfectly matching characters. Love your background story and how it all fits together.
excellent dynamic posing, great effects... simply WOW
(my favourite also was when he smashed the wall... I really started to look the pics all over for this crack... so, thanks for confirming you intend to dismantle piece by piece - what a shame, by the way Wink )

The wealth of individually created worlds and characters in this forum is astounding. I wonder how I shall manage to catch up with many of them.

(Have there been prequels to this? as a newbie I do not know... I will try to start whatever there is at its beginning.)

great to see some new stuff from you, amazing stuff no less Wink you got that special (in a good way "odd") style that i can't quite put my finger at but find fascinating at the same time.
i hope things are looking up for you and you find the 1/6 hobby enjoyable again. i can kinda understand what it means having no relief from doing stuff that was joyful before but since with the 1/6 hobby there's neither a deadline nor any expectations except your own to meet, it's something you can put down and come back to anytime, which in itself is a very calming thought.

Very cool follow up with the fight scene and more effects. Even more impressive considering you are apparently doing all this on your phone! And whoever stole your computer earned a ton of bad karma.

Yeaaah, so good to have you and your beautiful crazy surreal art back, sir. The BIZARRENESS of the magical effects is very Jojoesque. And Mr. Rautenberry turning more and more into that important greyish being. As I said before I love the unique style of clothes and the surreal backgrounds.

Hope you are doing better.

And...HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM GRAPES???

Such an active scene, and great work on both the characters and the setting. Cool effects as well.
