{ Asterope Group }

I hope it's okay to make a new thread- if not, I understand if this one gets combined with my old one 😅 however, the direction of my collection has changed, and their entire story setting changed as well~ so here we are, with Asterope Group, LLC and their little secret "Operation Atlas." 
Of course, this is a photo thread, not a writing thread, so I will introduce the newest members:

Nora Cantrell - Codename "Aeonium" / A 27-year-old chef working at Calaeno's, a bistro owned by Asterope Group and housed inside of 19 Tauri (something of a casino, maybe. I'm still deciding at this point in their story.)
She's an F/GO Saber DD with Hisyo-Hisyo eyes and a Cotindoll wig.

Maia Morgan - Codename "Amaranth" (due for a wig/eye change to match) / a 32-year-old pastry chef working at Merope Cafe, housed within 19 Tauri. 
She's a Smart Doll Justice (Coffee ver) with Tenshi266Studio eyes and a Culture Japan Emerald color wig. She's due for a change next time I make a Cotindoll order. 
~

Alice Markham - Codename "Lobelia" / a 24-year-old working at Alcyone Boutique, inside of 19 Tauri. 
Cheeeeeese. She's "The Moon is Made of Cheese" in cocoa. Tenshi266 eyes and an off-black Cotindoll Miku wig (wow, Miku havers were not kidding about the tangles. Taming this wig is no joke- I'm keeping it in braids on display just to avoid snags.)
~

 

Sybila Pagos - Codename "Campanula" / a cute robo-kitty barista at Merope Cafe. 
She's a Cybershell Prowess in Blacknavy. 
~

Erika Taylor - Codename "Iris" / A 29-year-old bartender at 19 Tauri. I haven't decided what name to give the bar yet... but I do have a few ideas in mind. Of course, this comes with wanting to make an entire diorama.... ahh, maybe someday.
She's a "Cruel to be Kind" in coffee. Featured in full default for once! I will be changing her eyes to some resin ones eventually. 
~
And now, some not-new not-arrivals! Just some girlies that got upgrades since I last posted.

 

 

 

That's all for now~ 

Beautiful collection and loved reading about them!!

I love the concept here. Such lovely, well dressed ladies! I hope we'll get to see them at work

I spent too much time playing games this weekend, so I decided I had to touch grass and take some doll photos to make up for it. The victim chosen model was my Asuna Titania DD- renamed Rosalin Springfield.

 

She has eyes from Tenshi266Studio and wig from Cotindoll (there seems to be a theme here...)
She's my playful elf. She's engaged to Laura Emmanual, my DDdy Miko who is currently waiting on some eyes I ordered today. Rosalin and Laura were my first two DDs, so they're very special to me. Both are also due for body replacements this year- still trying to decide whether I want to bother with a 2.0 or just get 1.0 f3s for them. 
Rosalin is the manager at Alcyone Boutique. She doesn't really have manager energy, though, does she? I may rethink this. 

Cute crew

The rest of my new wigs and eyes came in. I haven't gotten photos of everyone yet, but I did get a few of Persica and Shiloh.

 

 

 

 

 

I also got a photo of Erika. This wig wasn't originally supposed to be hers- but it turned out to be a very different color from the product photos on Cotindoll's website. They now... added a disclaimer because of me, lol. Anyway, after trying it on half of my collection to convince myself I didn't waste $45 on a wig that doesn't look the way it was supposed to, I finally landed on Erika. 

The bugs are out in full force already, so I'm not in any rush to take more photos right now... I'll probably go back to working on their stories more. 

 

 

Your photography skills are amazing! Something about the first photo of Nora is so striking and elegant to me.
