Monty Posted August 5, 2018 Disclaimer: The wonderful set and props here (except the laptop and keychain game machine) are courtesy of the Fu kuoka Volks Showroom - I liked the new photo space so much I couldn't not do a photo story in it. (Well, not so much a photo story as an excuse to see how many ways Mel could laze around in the room) DSC_0582 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Whew, I'm finally back from shopping. DSC_0583 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: I lost the 'dont buy anything in the hobby store, just look' game again. DSC_0585 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Well, time to get started on this kit, then! DSC_0586 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: This wont be a repeat of all the other times. I know I have a problem with buying kits and never making them. DSC_0587 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: So I'm gonna start on this one right NOW. That's the only way to get it done. I'll do those other ones after this new one. -2 minutes later- DSC_0589 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: .... DSC_0590 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: hmm... DSC_0595 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Okay, time for a break. DSC_0597 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Better make it a snack break while I'm at it. DSC_0600 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Just gonna look up some in-progress pics of this kit. ...but I may as well check Twitter while I'm at it. DSC_0604 by torinomh mh, on Flickr ...oh! I just had the best idea for a photo. DSC_0615 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Yes! It's genius. People will really appreciate this bold and unique idea of mine. I'lll have to ignore all the notifications after I upload it, so I don't get distracted. DSC_0591 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Right, no more distractions. DSC_0592 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: grr DSC_0622 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: No one's liking my cool photo. DSC_0602 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ... DSC_0628 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ...Right. DSC_0624 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: You know, I could probably work easier with some music on. DSC_0601 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ...this song is just so good. DSC_0603 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ... DSC_0620 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Maybe I should repost it...I guess people just havent seen it yet? DSC_0623 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ...I mean....not that i care or anything. I wouldn't want to be overrated. DSC_0605 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: sigh...I'm so bored. DSC_0607 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ...oh yeah. DSC_0608 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: OKAY, enough messing around. It's model time for sure now. DSC_0609 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: ...huh, whats that? DSC_0610 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: It must have been in the shopping bag... DSC_0611 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: Oh my god! Five percent off?! DSC_0612 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: I should go and get something with this!! DSC_0613 by torinomh mh, on Flickr Mel: I should get a model kit! 2 *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pickle Posted August 5, 2018 Love this photo story of yours, Torino! I feel like I can seriously relate to how Mel acts! Very nice photo space you got to go to as well. Must have been loads of fun! Hope Mel can finish one of those model kits one day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ie-Aster Posted August 6, 2018 This is great The set really looks like it was made just for this photostory--the way you utilized the props is really great. Mel's poses are also super lifelike and expressive--as is his face, it's pretty awesome how different camera angles bring out different nuances of expression. I'm very glad you were able to use the set before you left and make this story! At home: Mei (DDP Lucy custom), Aku (DDB Takane custom) En route: L. (DD Matoi) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty Posted August 12, 2018 Thank you for all the comments! Love this photo story of yours, Torino! I feel like I can seriously relate to how Mel acts! Very nice photo space you got to go to as well. Must have been loads of fun! Hope Mel can finish one of those model kits one day! I very much identify with this. I think most of us can relate, especially in this hobby. I'm afraid to ever have more than one floating head at a time in case I end up with 80 and still havent done anything with them. And it definitely was fun to do. Technically the only reason he couldn't finish one was because there was no completed ones in DD scale included in the diorama lol. This is great The set really looks like it was made just for this photostory--the way you utilized the props is really great. Mel's poses are also super lifelike and expressive--as is his face, it's pretty awesome how different camera angles bring out different nuances of expression. I'm very glad you were able to use the set before you left and make this story! I'm glad! Somehow Mel seems to 'come alive' in photo spaces or locations that he's suited to. Since Mel is so expressive in the comic, it sometimes feels a bit weird that his face has to stay 'static' as a doll (unless I made multiple heads for him) but I'm glad that changes in angle and lighting can change his expression even that much. Mel is so pretty! I can relate so much to her here; especially that shot of her resting her face on the desk. Mel is definitely pretty, but he is a boy He's a custom Kagamine Len so he's on the DDS boy body too. (Of course, his custom faceup does make him look girlier than Len did original, and he -does- wear the maid outfit and candypop dress arguably better than my girls do, but he's very much a boy. ) wow very nice set you have Unfortunately I don't have it, it was one of the photo spaces in the Fu kuoka store. They are often very nicely done - sadly this one didnt seem to last long and they've already changed it to a summer camp (which I like a good deal less as it looks a lot more 'fake', so I'm glad I got to use this one) *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
