Soft Smoke

Little outfit test. I might mess with the ensemble a bit and do a full shoot later, but I wanted some softer shots of Dom to contrast with the darker/glam outfit V has on right now. I like that he can pull off gentle styles like this, too.

I’ve been taking a lot of photos of him lately because he makes me happy.

I feel like I have a better grasp on his character in his current incarnation than I did previously, which helps. To think, when I started rebuilding the crew in late 2014/early 2015, I had very resolutely decided not to get him, because he always seemed to cause such problems. I wasn’t able to resist very long, obviously, but I don’t regret it. Figuring out the Dom-Jer-V dynamic was a big “ah ha!” moment.

Dove Grays

Bird brain.

Just some doodles. I’ve had this little faux bird since 2005, purchased specifically as a prop for Justyn, and I thought I’d amuse myself by taking photos of it with him again, while he’s wearing this so-very-appropriate shirt.

(Jer often refers to him as “bird brain”, by the by, because Justyn tends to be something of a space cadet. Vincynt, who doesn’t like to call anyone by their given name for reasons known only to himself, uses the nickname “dove” instead. So a bird-themed shirt is a nice little in-joke.)

Starbursts

Practicing. I’m terrible at this.

Just Add Ears

Mori bunny mish-mash.

I love this shoot – it’s from February, but I’ve been dragging my feet on finishing it up because I took and kept so many shots that I was having a hard time paring it down (way, way down) to fit on Tumblr.

I don’t know if I made the best choices, in the end, but I might rework the set and do an extended cut of it later. My goal was to get her in a bunch of different browns, grays, oranges, and peaches, and I think it worked out exactly how I wanted.

Sittin’ Pretty Kitty

GiGi doodles!

My original intention was to mirror MiMi’s set a little more closely, but it didn’t really turn out that way in practice. That sort of idea works better when their outfits match, I think. But hey, I’ll keep trying.

I would love to find this dress in one of the other colors they offered…
