I realised I've never really took a close up shot of Aden. So here it is!
So last Saturday, I went on a little shoot with Cheryl and Jeremy. It's for another contest over at The Doll Affair! And the awesome part of this contest is that there is no set theme! I'm neutral to the idea of an open contest because on one hand there's just about everything you could do, on the other hand, there's just so many things you can do with whatever you have. Okay... that didn't really make sense.

Anyway, we only managed to meet in the evening. I think the night did help set the mood in the empty, almost unused walkway/corridor/bridge with closed shops we decided to head to. It was one of Jeremy's locations and it was creepy enough...


Readjusting Aden's eyes so he's looking in the direction we want him to :{D


Jeremy playing with one of our props... which I used to make half of a friendship bracelet for Cheryl. Teehee.


Sexy hexy~ (I really like his coat a lot.)
Since Jeremy never carried Aden (or any BJDs, for this matter) before, it was quite funny to see him carry Aden from one point to another. xD Can't blame him either, I think I did the same as him... or even better, I think I didn't dare to touch them for fear that I'd break them. But their resins are solid, so they don't break so easily.


It was mostly Jeremy at work during this shoot 'cause he was so into it. I was a little scared, haha. So the final shots I selected were taken and led by Jeremy. I only did the edits...

I can only post that one up 'cause I'm not allowed to post the final shot up anywhere until after the contest.

One of the recent games I've been entertaining myself with on my phone is this game by Square Enix called Imaginary Range. It's plays out like a comic with certain scenes where it's up to you to save the situation. It's a free game so it ended quite fast (I don't know if there's a paid version :/). There were some scenes that inspired me a little.





I wish the story continued more! Pfft. (It's okay, I'm currently playing Chaos Rings and gosh, I love Escher/Musiea's storyline! Melting.)

Today, I headed down to SP for a while - to pass Mr. ODH my 50mm lens he needed for his work. The usual few were there with him though class had ended and I stayed for a while as a wonderful distraction :{D




I really hope these kids are doing well in their work! It's not easy in design (or anywhere else) but I believe that they can do it! They survived Year 1, the next two years are nothing! Hahaha.

Earlier this month, I said May seemed like it was going to be a boring month. I think I've to eat my words now. Things have been so crazy lately, almost getting out of hand. Crazy, in all aspects - the good and the bad. It's almost like extremes... But it's not such a bad thing.

'Cause I've been inspired lately.

Went for another photoshoot on Sunday. There was a bit of a failure in time management but... I got a few good pictures. Need to brush up on my skills, there's still a lot I don't know. Need to find some shifus to impart their knowledge with me. Heh. (Yes I know it's mostly with experience but they've got some tricks up their sleeve, you never know~)


Due to some conflict, we were only able to start as the sun was setting... :/ We were supposed to meet at 330 but only managed to meet 2 hours later, then starting another hour later. Seriously?

Anyway, I shan't complain too much... I just leave when the time is up and get whatever shots I can in the remaining time. Thing about dollfie shoots is that, sometimes they refuse to stand, or you can't just get them in a certain position 'cause of the limitations of their joints... So it takes a bit longer than a normal shoot. And then you have the clothes and the wig, accessories... etc.



Just before it got too dark, we moved inside, to artificial lightings. There wasn't much I could do there... The lights went half gone as it approached 2030, and so the pictures after that were quite dead. Sigh.


Flannel shirts never seem to run out of style. Hahaha and you can wear them any way you want!
Felt so ill that day. Ran through the entire day without food x_x Ran through 30 hours before getting something to eat. I kept myself hydrated though, else I might've fainted or something. I can last longer without food, but there isn't any reason why I should now so... I should try and eat on time. /nods/

The boy without a demon.
Whew! The week has been pretty busy, pretty entertained! Two photoshoots and a meet - quite a bit of photos to process and touch up. Not real official photoshoots yet, I'm going for one later! I'm tired but I'm tired in a good way. I like what I'm doing :') This is just the start... Hope this brings me somewhere ;D

Went on a little photoshoot with Cheryl on Friday in town! It rained a little, but only during lunch. We ate lunch, Cheryl and I ate lunch together. The last two people in the world you'd expect to see eating, had lunch together. Hahaha we had McSpicy.

Thankfully it wasn't too hot or humid as we wandered to an open space. I didn't get too many good shots... Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing or who I'm trying to kid, that I can actually do photography... Fuck myself lol.


Getting all ready for the day! \m/
It was hard to balance Aden on uneven ground, like grass. Thankfully it was kind of like fake grass, so there wasn't mud or anything. It'd be such a mess~ There were nice and cute flowers that went well with Aden's kimono...


But he refused to stand well. We managed to get him to stand a while before he fell on his back. Yes, he fell. LOL fuck our lives but though the ground wasn't exactly soil, it was still soft and it cushioned his fall. Whew~ (He yanked the flower out as he fell. Violent. Aden doesn't like flowers.)

We got this pretty wonderful pose in the end.



It was quite a success. :) Aden didn't fall in vain.


We moved to another spot for a few more shots, since it was getting dark and we had another place in mind to go when it got dark. This backdrop had Aden changing into his prince outfit, /swoon/



DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HIM ALREADY, HE'S JUST ASKING TO BE DOLLNAPPED. A pity I didn't get any good shots in this background. It was either too awkward or didn't seem to have the feel in it... I'm only an amateur~

Later, we headed down to SP. ;D We decided to use the underpass there. So I managed to get that main shot up there in the underpass and these few might have made it if Aden had shoes... It's hard to find shoes that match his outfit, really.



It was a pretty exhausting day, running around places and carrying all that equipment... They just seem to get heavier as they stay on your shoulders...


Just yesterday, Saturday, Cheryl and I went for a dollfie meet. Again, I don't know what I'm doing, trying to be funny and trick myself into finding a community which I can feel comfortable in my skin... But I had my hair styled and was wearing my ASD hoodie!, so I didn't feel as horrible inside like I would, usually. :)

Didn't get to talk much with the latter but we made a few friends :)


Aden and Zen!

Zen and Sen!

THIS DOLL IS A BEAST. HIS BACK IS FUCKING BAD ASS. THEREFORE THIS DOLL IS A B.A.M.F. MONSTER. (He's wearing Aden's wig. Hahaha if you found the hair familiar~)




Sen! :) Cheryl had a crush on this boy, leaving Aden heartbroken for a while. But there were SO MANY others who had their hearts broken by Aden cause he was just too hot with this crazy abs and a sexy body, all packed in that 71cm resin. Heh.


BOYBAND. HAHAHA
Super funny, I tell you. First it was just the twins and Zen were sitting on the couch. I found them cute so I took them three together... before I noticed how they looked like a boy band xD Sen and Aden joined in later. Sadly I have failed all the band shots 'cause we were running out of time and there was a lack of scenery. :(

The day ended with Cheryl and I having dinner together (xD), then we headed home... Talking about loads of nonsense on the way back. LOL. If anyone recorded our conversation, it'd have been ridiculous. xD

Doll of the day :D
(Cause he's the new doll and... he is a twin to another doll! The doll in my banner.)
It was a pretty eventful day yesterday. It was a slow day, me just doing the stuff needed for the FOC tees. So happened it was Cedric's last day of exams. Since I needed to head out to get some materials, I had lunch with him.

Thinking about it now, Cedric is the kind of childhood guy friend a girl would grow up with - a good childhood guy friend whom you can talk, spar, joke, fight with without breaking ties... and still be really good friends after a huge fight most people would deem the end of the friendship. Hahaha. We had a good time talking lots of crap in our lives at the moment and wasted more time chilling.

I went back after and got ready for a test photoshoot with Alex. :) We were mostly testing locations and angles. Plus he had a new doll for me to work with, so I had to get familiar with him :)



Suave * w *
Paradiso is Alex's company. They're making clothes for these pretty dollies :D And yeah, he's selling that bomber vest. More coming up in the next real shoots ;D



THERE! These two are twins. They're made of the same sculpt, just different skin colour, eyes, wig, clothes. They're AOD Cloud custom.


A few test shots and...


* w *


It was pretty hard to work with the new guy 'cause he's still new - fresh strings, fresh everything~

It started to get dark so we went to the previous haunt. Familiar surroundings and I swear it ain't that good, really.


I abandoned this poor girl :( Frankly, I like the guy dolls more... Heh.

Alex also had an MSD, one of his customer's. She's super cute! Looks like a guy but is a girl sadly :( She's an AOD An. She's called Aoi :)


Play with me?


She's so cute in her orange straitjacket~ Plus her hair was just like mine :D So awesome, I love her.

All of Alex's dolls don't really have a name sadly. Fhl hahaha. So anyway, the doll of the day was like... dying at one corner xD



Took a few more shots with Aoi and Alex's smallest doll xD


And my Hello Kitty heh, so cute! Aoi's like guarding my HK.


Then we wrapped up and went home. I need to find more places where I can do shoots... and remember to bring my tripod along. Heh.
