davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

Ooh, love the atmosphere of this one!

Thanks!

Oh, there's a real atmosphere here - almost sad, like it's somehow the end of the era. Like it's the last time he's putting up the closing sign...

Thanks. Yeah, about the "sad" - I posted this to Flickr, where I am still undecided about letting my "Pro" subscription lapse when it ex.pires later this year.

The comic adventures continue.  Such an odd pairing but i think it's going to work out okay.

Melancholy shot of closing time, lovely atmospheric shot in the B&W

It was an odd pairing, but as I was taking the photos, I noticed that the Kenna and the Dr. Evil figure seemed to have a sort of amusing chemistry together.

That Momoko, though, she can actually be kind of intimidating for a "cute" and "petite" doll.

Masterpiece! Everything about this one is beyond amazing! Light, composition, mood, oh my goodness, this one is SO good. I love it! I love it I love it I love it!

 As you know, the "secret" here is: if the photo doesn't turn out, convert it to B&W.

4 August – General Patton figure by 21st Century Toys

A quick pic to test out the "door" I've been working on. I thought making a door for a scene in a pic-fic I have in mind would take me maybe an hour or two. Ha! The door ended up requiring two walls and a bunch of wall decor and took many hours spread out over about two weeks... and I'm still not happy with it. Oh well, shadows and selective camera angles may help to hide its craptastic nature.

As for the army guy figure, he's pretty cool, very detailed, but I'm not sure I'll keep him. His face sculpt is a bit too realistic for most of my scenes. Of course, the contrast between a realistic figure and a Monster High, Bratz, or even GI Joe fig can enhance the comedic effect, which is fun. But I'll probably do some checking on eBay to see if he's worth at least trying to pass on to a "military figure collector."

EDIT: I looked him up. Even with all the detailed equipment, the figure often brings less than the cost of shipping. Poor guy, I guess he's stuck in The Dungeon!
