Swimsuit Saber Yuki v2

Some advances were made in my indoor lighting setup - I finally got my two external flashes synced properly! The primary problem is that, even with 2 external flashes, the pop-up flash of the Canon 7D will still fire. The popup is way to harsh for close-up shots, and creates undesirable cast shadows. The next step is to use a cable to an external flash, rather than wireless, since using the cable should disable the popup flash. Of course, mounting a flash on the 7D would have the same effect as the cable, but gets unwieldy for handheld shots, especially portraits.

Erio renewal

Took advantage of the nice weather to rework Erio's face a bit.
Still not perfect, but it's a relief to fix bits that had bothered me for months! And each time I work, my technique improves a bit. Practice and all that.
Instead of removing the eyelashes, I protected them from spray sealant with a bit of masking tape. Looked like she was headed to an execution, but it worked ^_^;

Swimsuit Saber Yuki

Bianca casual

Got a cute new casual outfit for Bianca (azone pureneemo raili)
Even at this tiny size the details are very nice! She looks like the girls I saw in Shinjuku this past May, very stylish :)

Sweet berry sisters

Pattern for MDD panties

Warning: cute panties ahead!


Lumi arrived without panties, so I decided to whip up some for her using a bit of extra fabric.






The pattern is actually pretty easy to use, although it may require some adjustment depending on the stretch of the particular fabric chosen.

Akiba Saber

Saber borrows Moe's outfit to go out on the town :D
With her alternate eyes, her expression is softer and she has a nice girl-next-door look. I think this outfit really suits her!

Sleeping Princess MDD

My Sleeping Princess is borrowing Lumi's body for this photoshoot. It was a good chance to try some of my MSD-size clothes on the MDD body - they're a bit big in the torso but the fit is otherwise fine.
I'm aiming for a soft, antique/dreamy feel by using a lot of plain white props and some post process tricks :)

Sweet berry Yomako

A package arrived from Volks USA with a frilly pink dress- Yomako claimed it!


This dress makes me crave curds and whey ^_^




Cute socks <3


And then Leo tried being MDD for a day :D

More Cirno

Decided her name is Lumi :)

More Saber

Trying a couple wigs :D


She looks great with red hair!

Double trouble - Saber + Cirno

Two big boxes arrived!

First thing I checked - yup, got that too, the dreaded ddIII shoulder crack. I can see why it happened, there's a lot of tension on the socket without the crack. Hopefully I can get this part replaced by Volks.


Couldn't resist setting up Saber regardless. The wig wasn't too much trouble, actually, just not very stretchy.


butt cleavage :D


And Cirno, well, she's just adorable. I really like this size, and the body poses so nicely. As other folks noticed, the head seems loose and too heavy for the neck joint. This could be a problem for reclining poses.
Sorry for the poor photos, my flash is unreliable.
