SisterKyoya Posted April 24, 2012 That is a beautiful photo, Sister Kyoya. The black and white really brings out the textures. Perry looks so soft. Your main subject is so cute. You captured such a sweet expression. Thank you for the wonderful comment. Tamayuki is so cute that I'm surprised that he hasn't given me a real nose bleed yet, and Perry is as soft as he looks (and squishy too!) I really love having the right tools for post-processing, I can take pictures that look nice enough, turn them black & white (with some tweaking) and they turn out stunning. I've even been able to take some of my mediocre pictures and fix them to look really impressive. The one thing that can't be done well is if the lighting is bad, it is probably a lost cause, put perfect lighting (like in the photo) just does things that no post-processing can mimic. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaveOfNightmares Posted April 24, 2012 I just remembered I had this pic of Nia from approximately a year ago. It was taken at a Japanese organic food restaurant called Hinano using my old (new at the time) Sony A55. I had set the White Balance to Incandescent since that was the type of lighting they had in there, and I was trying to teach myself how to adjust stuff like that manually, but I forgot to turn off the Auto-Flash. I liked how the pic came out so much that I kept it, even though it was technically a pretty big mistake. 244344_1728684016291_1214177753_31448017_4208214_o by zero_the_faerie_believer, on Flickr 21 DD girls: Mio, Marina, Yui, Yoko, Nia, Lily, Arisu, Akina, Momo, Arisa, Yukina, Ayaka, Niimi, Eri, Millefeuille, Ekisu, Chitose, Miyabi, KOS-MOS v.4, Hatsune Miku and God Eater Alisa. 2B in a hopeful future.

misskale Posted April 26, 2012 And tonight I found out again why it's definitely for me to be playing around with a pen or brush that work really well. This is going to be wiped tomorrow, but apparently I wanted to paint a Caterpie. Caterpie by misskale, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

misskale Posted April 26, 2012 Its really uniqe and adorable ^^ Thanks. ^_^; I was trying to practice lines on the face as well as get an idea of how they hold the paint. Usually I wouldn't do something this extreme. But it's also why I'm not approaching it as something I want to do a second layer on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

finnleo Posted April 27, 2012 yesterdays sewing-jutsu practice produced the following ...still a bit baffled how I managed the lining on the skirt. The top is also lined. Its weird how a second layer of cotton makes for a more chunky feel to a outfit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

archangeli Posted April 27, 2012 IMAG0454 by misskale, on Flickr The yukata I got from Infinite Love arrived today. So much cheaper than a full kimono but these ones are adorable. So pretty! It makes her eyes stand out beautifully! I've used the "inner robe" from my Infinite Love kimono as a yukata on it's own. Shhh!

misskale Posted April 27, 2012 I got the same one and the other color. But, i haven't got the chance for my girls to try them out. Too busy doing other things Ooh I'd love to see what the green one looks like when you get a chance to try them. I also got the white-background goldfish yukata. My resin doll Irene is wearing that one. Resin is a lot harder to dress in a yukata than I thought it would be... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJStarstryker Posted April 27, 2012 Akira: WOOHOO! We're going to Japan in a few months! Rin: Don't be so loud, silly girl. Don't you see I'm meditating? Akira: Aren't you excited, Rinchan? Rin: I told you to call me Master. And yes. I'm obviously excited. But it's months away. No use thinking about it right now. I have more important things to focus on. Akira wanders off to the clothes box while Rin talks, a big grin on her face. Rin: ...are you even listening to me, Servant? ...fine. Whatever. At least you're being quiet. Later, Akira comes back in a Japanese yukata and a long black wig. Akira: Tada! What do you think? Don't I look Japanese? Rin: No. Akira: Eeeeee, I want to go to a festival! I want to see fireworks! I want to see cute maids! Rin wanders off while Akira is being excited talking about things she wants to see in Japan. Rin comes back in changed clothes. She'd gotten jealous that only Akira was in a changed outfit. Rin: There. Practical, cute, and not obnoxious. Akira: Wait a minute. Your top's not on straight. Let me help. Akira knocks Rin's wig off. Akira blinks, then starts laughing hard. Rin's face turns red in embarrassment and she kicks Akira hard in the shin. Akira: What did you do that for?! Rin pulls on Akira's wig she wears normally. Rin: Not only do you not look Japanese, but I look better as you than you do as you. Akira: ...well, it is cute. Rin: You're not supposed to admit that. BAKA. Now leave me alone so I can meditate. Akira: I will serve you tea then, Master. Maybe it will help you mediatate. Rin: ...well, I suppose it's a start. Here's some bonus pictures of Akira trying to look Japanese. You can click on them to see it bigger. And, yes, the short Marissa wig is used as Akira's default wig at my house. We only have her head + eyes. She's also on a DDII body. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nehelenia Posted April 28, 2012 @Juu You got some amazing skills! It looks great on Ilya ^^ @Anouc Nice find! Nia looks o perfect with this outfit and the umbrella was the right touch @DJStarstryker Akira looks adorable in that Yukata Poor thing though. Rin is quite harsh with her.

DJStarstryker Posted April 28, 2012 @DJStarstryker Akira looks adorable in that Yukata Poor thing though. Rin is quite harsh with her. Rin likes Akira a lot and is quite fond of her. If anyone were to hurt Akira, that would be bad news for that person, because Rin would fight back with everything she has. The problem is, Akira is a very happy-go-lucky sort of girl who wears her heart on her sleeve and Rin finds that naive. Rin also doesn't like it when Akira decides to interrupt her quiet, "zen" time. It makes her in a bad mood. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

finnleo Posted May 5, 2012 Well, enjoying my last fully work free weekend by doing some more sewing-jutsu. This still tweaking the old bathrobe patterns, but with a full length variant this time around. Again fully lined, this time to keep the satin edges from frezzing up, and thus might seem a bit extra puffy in places. Quickly did a sleeveless undergarment to get the layered collar look I also wanted. Dunno can it be called a kimono just yet, but atleast a posh yukata... heh. Was originally planning this kind of outfit for a white skin lady, but after this, I guess #13, might aswell take the role of Yukimaru. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted May 6, 2012 I really like that yukata hybrid Finnleo! She looks so nice in it! I also think those piercing blue eyes look marvelous. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy thank you. 13, or current Yukimaru has been a bit of a neglegted lady just to hang seifukus on so far, even with the 5000 yen faceup head and eyes, I did hear a definitive click go off when I got the obi tied. Was actually one of the first times with my sewing practice that I went, not bad for a metal worker, even if I say so myself. heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
