Randam's random pics

Thank you very much for the kind comments! I will try to show some more pictures of the duo in the coming weeks, when I hopefully have some spare time to finish the diorama pieces.

Yes, everyone can join the board. One has to wait some time for the confirmation message after registering, because the administrator sends them manually, if I remember correctly. The board language is German, though.

If there's a translation option, I could be good I guess

That pumpkin carving pic is hella sexy! That's a very nicely posed and photographed custom fig!

I have missed quite a lot on this board again - big sigh -
fantastic stuff to catch up with!

Your way of staging and photographing figures is a feast for the eyes. You really have great talent. Thanks for all the impressive pictures. The posing of your figures is so great.

Thanks fore the nice comments, folks!

I got the SW Toys Jessica-Figure just before Christmas, and thought it might be good to share some pictures. I'm a huge fan of RE: Revelations, so the figure was a must-buy despite the pleather outfit. The overall quality of the figure is quite solid, with the exceptions of the thin Jiaou body that does not even match the skintone of the head. Therefore, I transfered the outfit to the recently released VC Raksa-body...

Nice rain effect in the images, creating a "Bladerunner" vibe.

Cool outfit! Did it present much of a challenge to remove the outfit from the original body and install it on a new one?

Great pics Randam!  The background you chose is very appropriate for the figure, and I'm impressed with the rain effect as well. +1 on the Blade Runner vibe.

I like the figure as well and went back and forth on whether to order one myself.  The main reason I didn't is because I'm getting too many too soon (almost twice what I planned).  I want to slow down and enjoy them more rather than rushing to the next purchase.  She really looks good in your photos!

Great figure photo's!
The rain works very well.

I agree. Excellent transfer, beautiful figure, gorgeous effects and image. It's raining here, so I didn't need to look at more rain, but it is still too beautiful to not appreciate.

I had to look back to some of the prior work, awesome stuff as always. Latest shot is also really cool.

Great looking figure Ralf!

That is pretty cool, Ralf. As always your photos are stunning. I see the body still has that shiny look to the skin, which in this context works well.

Woooooow, she looks amazing! That body works really well with that costume.  And what a gorgeous head!
And your photos... pfft! So beautiful! The lighting once again completely sold the background - which by itself was already an inspired choice.

Many thanks for the kind comments. FYI the backgrounds were quickly generated by Stable Diffusion, which is the reason for the slight inconsistencies in the shape and size of the containers.

No, the outfit is quite well made, and the material is stretchy. Possibly it would fit also well on bigger TBL bodies.

Yes, the VC silicone body is still shinier than our TBL bodies, but it is not very noticeable under normal light. I should have sprayed some water on the figure to make the shots more realistic, but I  was in a hurry and totally forgot about it.


Here is also a little update on my continuing effort to build 1/6 diorama pieces. I made a simple iron fence for masking the transition between foreground and background screen. The character is from the "Lockwood & Co" book series (recently adapted on Netflix)...

Now I need to make more of these fence pieces.    

Thanks for looking at my stuff!

That fence section is brillaint! It looks amazingly lifelike!

And using something like this to serve as a visual transition between foreground and 2D image backgrounds is a clever and effective idea!

That's a nice-looking figure, too. Is it a custom, or is it a figure that was released?

Thanks, Dave!
The figure is a complete custom using the Natasha-head from Flagset.

Genius! I like how you showed a bit of the “how it’s done”. Beautiful shot.

Looks incredible as always! Love the BTS stuff as well.

Fantastic dio piece, Ralf! Awesome shot!

She's so cute! And cool backdrop and fence!

Absolutely lovely: the custom character, the fence, the "brickwork," the background image, and the lighting are all beautiful both in themselves and combine perfectly.

Thanks for the kind words, everybody! I really appreciate it!  

I played around with the fence a little more, using it as part of a street setting...

Beautiful.
Transition to background works really well.

Yeah that looks pretty awesome. Modelstyle.

Youbshould try taking it outdoors too

I agree. Beautifully done! Excellent combination of figure, diorama piece, and background.

Wow! That’s fantastic. What a cool bunch of photos. The transition to the background is perfect.

What head is that, Ralf?

Thanks, guys! I'm happy that you like the pics.

That is the PopToys Brianna Lionheart-sculpt (ALS-020). It cost me quite some money as a lose head on eBay, but the full set is even more expensive.

Excellent photography and photo effects. Great collection going on here.

I spy some Trickyman12 Sneakers on the latest figure.
