Xiongmao Posted March 31, 2023 Wow - if my Uzuki v2 and my Erica had a child I'd expect she'd look like your Uzuki v1. I wasn't sure about my Yayoi at first, but when I put her default wig on she became complete. And then I found Iori and she became even more complete. 1 My Dollfie doll family December 2024 😊.

BeyondTime Posted April 18, 2023 I still need to work on refining my masking on these. Masking software seems to struggle with dolls, and things that work properly on humans don't work as well on our little plastic friends. Still, here's M.O.M.O. I haven't photographed her in a while, and I created a graffiti background with custom text as something special just for her.

The original composite image that I used for the background. Custom Graffiti for M.O.M.O.jpg by Cult of Athena, on Flickr I blended that image with a stock sidewalk photo. I got almost all the individual elements from Adobe Stock except the "style" graffiti text which I made in Photoshop, and the Xenosaga / iM@S images which I grabbed from the web and aged in Photoshop. It also highlights why it's important to take pictures of random things, the concrete and sidewalk are just photos someone took on the street, and they're nothing special except properly exposed and processed. 7 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

I think when you talk Designer Dollection it would be zero, and for a lot of other things it would one, or you'd risk damage to the outfits. For stuff like pants and shirts, you could fit a fair number in. For photos I would fake it. Fill the suitcase with cotton wadding, and then place some clothes on top to conceal the cotton. 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Xiongmao Posted April 27, 2023 Uzuki is still my second favourite. After I acquired Towa it took 18 months to decide on her sister. We definitely made a fantastic decision. Kizuna AI was 3rd and she's awesome too - I love smiley DD and Shin Sato is going to be a popular addition to the household. I think Uzuki (1 and 2) are pretty popular because her school outfit is starting to sell for silly money. It might also be because Shin Sato and the other Idolmaster releases go to the same high school. Your Uzuki's fishnets are cool - that's something we don't yet have. I must put my Uzuki in her Smile & Sweets set sometime - I think it's my favourite of all my girls' default outfits. My Dollfie doll family December 2024 😊. Towa believes they are 34 in number.

jazijaz Posted May 30, 2023 Wow I went through all the thread. I was so delighted looking at every picture, you have a big collection but all your girls are very well taken care of. Your photography and posing skills are amazing, your girls are all so beautiful. It makes me feel guilty when I have all my dolls in the same outfit for 1-2 years 😅 it's a miracle if I change them all 2-3 times a year. This thread inspired me to photograph my dolls more and change them often. Thank you for the photography tips, I screenshot them all so I can come back to them when I finally do a photoshoot of my dolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It make it easy to dress them up for photos, and they're packed too close together for flowing outfits. Pants are an option for the ones on stands, but some of them have to sit on the edge of things, so they need something that lets them bend and which won't get wrecked.
