Yeah, he was the trend-setter. Sometimes it makes more sense to keep things together in one place than start a whole separate thread, unless that one would contain a substantial amount of its own stuff.Valiarde wrote:I'm glad randam inspired more random pic threads on this board, as I like looking at cool scenes from collections.
Without reading the text I wouldn't have identified that she is holding real berries. Looks bit like velvet.
Nice figure and head
Thank you very much, glad you liked it.Diana wrote:Hah! How very inspired!
Thank you, Dave, I'm glad you liked it. For once (seems like in a long time) this is not screen projected or printed stuff. Indeed, it is a piece I constructed (wood, glue, tracing paper, glass, magnets, and acrylics), for something else that I will showcase soon, hopefully. I did want the wood texture (grain?) to show through and glad it did. The red is a mix of Amaranth Red and Dark Vermillion by Vallejo -- I was going for that special Japanese red color. The brass hardware is actually painted glass and magnets (which were simply the right size for what I needed), and it is attached in a way that makes it removable without damage to itself or the painted wood surface.davidd wrote:I really like the shade of red and the slightly tarnished brass hardware of the screen backdrop. Is that a piece you constructed?
The texture of the plank floor looks fantastic as well. Please oh please don't say that it's printed scrapbooking paper. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by my own inability to tell the difference between a 2D print and a 3D construct... which I suppose speaks well to the level of action figure photography on this forum.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. Technically Japanese scene, but close enough. Yes, unfortunately for this I did use artificial light. She is not very steady on her feet (even barefoot) and I don't want her taking a plunge and damaging or losing those hairpins, so I am using the stable flat surface of the desk and some sturdy surfaces I can pile on it. But I agree, in principle sunlight is always better.ElBundy wrote:Perfect figure and posing in the last chinese scene. Were the photos taken in artificial light? In my opinion, photos taken in daylight are the most effective. Unfortunately, we don't have much daylight or sunlight in winter.

Oh yes, totally real. The waxen/velvet look is why I picked them up in the first place. I wish I had figured out a way to preserve them.
And glad you liked her. It's the Super Duck Geisha set (SET052), on an S27B body.
You are welcome. When I was getting her dressed, I couldn't find the S25B I was looking for. But she looked ok on this body (almost 2/3 of the head mass is the done up hair), so I decided to give it a try. Ironically, she was designed (I think!) for an S10 or something like that, as usual. But even with the very petite S27B I had some worry about stuffing the bottoms of the TPE legs into the provided plastic tabi and geta (molded as one piece). So for now she's barefoot.Valiarde wrote:
Thanks for telling the SET. And all this on a petite body.

Thank you, glad you agree. I don't want to disrobe her (and have only one of that body), but see next post for how it looks on the slightly less petite S25B -- I got a new one (and found an unused old one eventually too). If the head is slightly too big (I do think it is mostly just the hair), the elaborate kimono obscures that. And I agree, horned and headdress-ed heads would have the same effect. As for barefoot, it was apparently very common in Japanese society, and especially indoors; although Geishas in particular, who were supposed to play coy, were often hiding their feet by the late Edo Period (pre-1867), by which point the female foot had apparently become a bit of a fetish at least in urban environments. At any rate, they were supposed to be hidden by the long kimono.Valiarde wrote:Yeah the head works pretty well here. I don't know if that is also because of the costume is hiding much from the petite body but your explanation with the hair makes sense. My red Tiefling character is also on a petite body and most of the head is used up by horns. Similar thing.
Baefoot works well enough for me here.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it and always appreciate your feedback. Yes, while not an exact match, they work well together.Illusion wrote:What a lovely geisha outfit!!! looks great on her
and the berries are kind of the cherries on top of the cake. I love their colour and they look very interesting. Excellent match with her outfit - as has been pointed out sufficiently I guess
(I'm sorry, I must have missed quite a bit in your thread.)
Thank you very much, Dal, I'm glad you liked them.BAMComix wrote:Nice pics either way, Ian . Her gown is really nice.
LOL, I do see what you mean. Her friend is a gentleman in this scenario... and the scene originated in a simple attempt to demonstrate the proportions.Stryker2012 wrote:It occurs to me, you should have had these pics reversed.
Thank you, glad you agree. Well, the berries are pretty cool -- which is why I picked them up in the first place -- and of course all the more fun imported into this scale. Thank you, glad you liked it. It is more inspired than absolutely faithful rendition, and it has companion pieces designed for its main intended purpose, which I haven't posted just yet.Diana wrote:I must have been in a rush when I last checked this thread. The berries soaked up all of my attention, which lead to me completely missing the beautiful diorama! Really beautoful work! I'm looking forward to see what else you got in store!
That body works really well with the head, too. Nicely done.
