King of Knights - vintage 2012

Recommended Posts

Anna-neko

weeeell, looks like Ffm is never coming back, so Imma just spam you guys as a way for showing off pretty pictures to newcomers and making lil archive for myself

 

~~~~~

Flashback to summer 2012. It was boiling hot, very humid and the weather was clearly out to get me!

Every single time, like clockwork: would set up Saber, set up & configure camera, get ready to shoot.. RAIN! Grab umbrella, hold it over myself and Her Grace with camera in lap .... Would rain for 10 minutes, then stop & suffocate us in humid for a bit

 

The terrain wasn't friendly: army of geese, bees, thorns & sharp pointy rocks lining everything, but but but I did come very prepared with entire small print-out of pose references! (a very important prep step, get those ideas down before blanking out in the moment)

 

For those interested: this is OG Saber on DD-base2 body, with her original faceup & outfit. No stand - all the balancing is my OCD & the environment

 

Enjoy ~♥ (FULL photoshoot is still up on Flickr)

 

 

The world needs more soft knights poses

Fun fact: today this is a lovely, working, pretty fountain! Back then? It was more of a decorative gravel pit! So yes, was literally kneeling in sharp pebbles for these defenseless armor off snaps, and regret nothing!! (my knees clearly do, but that isn't news )

Tried multiple set ups... they all kinda work with her kit

Story time!

I'm half kneeling, half sprawled in the grass getting this set up. Little girl keeps pointing in my direction to her mom. They walk over, because girl wanted to see my "pretty princess", and ask why did she have such a big knife

why no, aren't tryin to make a visual metaphor for the fields soaked with blood relating to history.. not at all!

Canon has removed this in-camera shooting option in later models, but Selective Color was my jaaaam!

Guess what, her 'hip plates' are literally holding her up!! Easiest posing life-hack y0

Another fun fact - with enough patience & flash timing, you too can fake-out bright daylight!

These last few shots, these right here are my PEAK DD photographic legacy! ♫♪

spoiler alert: it's based on Fate's orig route ending

Now THIS is a blast from the past! I recall seeing them back on FFM and loving them then. And guess what? I still love them now! I can clearly see how much time you put into them as well as how much love you have for Her Highness.

 

Thanks so much for sharing these awesome pics again, it was great seeing them.

I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

Keep the spam coming. I love the photos.

 

And did you correct the little girl that this is a king with a sword, not some pansy princess with a knife.

Oh believe me, the spam still has marvelous photos coming! We got maid action, we got a botched summoning story, geeking out over Fate cosplayers with Saber among them....

That shot of her laying on the ground without her armor is really nice... it sort of evokes a feeling of her waiting in Avalon for Shirou to me.

Thank you!! The pose is based on a Soundtrack cover (it had Saber and Rin sprawled in the grass, flower crowns were involved...)

 

Totally open to all your DD spam. These shots of Saber are lovely, I believe I remember these fro FFM days. Again, beautiful shots, worth your effort.

 

^__^ So many more spams coming! There will be cute maids, silly armors and ancient stories coming back
