New camera, old Hayden

2008-07-04T13:32:19Z

There's a lot more to this shoot than this, but for some reason I can only bring myself to post a few. Just the same thing as always.

So... surprise! I got a new camera yesterday. Not new... I kind of adopted it from the store. Poor little display model, the last little outdated canon 400D. One thing I've gained from doll collecting is the ability to throw a soul into whatever inanimate object I feel needs it XD Poor thing looked so lonely. It's all better now, with charms and stickers. I put stickers on everything. I fucking love stickers. I got it pretty cheap too. And I mean, it's used, but it's not like it followed someone around and was thrown around. It sat around in a store for a year. It's all good. Warranty covers anything I might run into as a result, anyway. Sweet, sweet warranty.

This is my first official shoot with it, and maybe... possibly my first B&W shoot? I can't remember. Who knows these things, really.

Hayden seems so much more... happy. I think he knows we're moving in a few days. I also think he's enjoying having Patt's volks body all to himself. It's perfect, even if it isn't tall and lean. It's got this epic stance to it. I dunno. He just looks so... at peace <33

FULL BODY SHOT!!!! I was a metre away!!! HIS FACE IS IN FOCUS. MY GOD I COULD CRY WITH WEEEEEEYAY!!

The next two are the same, but I like both... so >.>

I love his hair in this one:

This is how he usually sits beside me on the couch. All "Hey, bitch."

~

Thought I'd slip his green eyes back in there >.>

But yes. As said. Moving to Melbourne on Sunday. I have so much to do tomorrow, mostly cleaning. I don't know how my internet access will go once I'm there, so expect me to be out for a while ^.^

Thanks for lookin', take care guys <3

sigh

2008-06-29T07:24:13Z

I feel like crap. I don't know why I keep going on the internet. Sometimes I just want to sell my dolls and get a real life. Be interested in things I don't feel the need to use the net for.

As a contradictory side note, I'm loving the Hayes right now. He's on the volks body. Taking a while to get used to, but my gawwwd. He looks so epic. I really need to clean his face a bit, the msc on his nose has scratched a bit. Give him another coating.

Jim shoot!

2008-06-24T09:02:30Z

Well, this page took a good twenty minutes to load. This entry will have content and a half. Didn't spend twenty minutes just to look at livejournals logo. Whoever reads this gets a lapdance. But not by me, and it's not going to be today, or tomorrow.

Jim is by far the easiest of my crew to photograph. It's not because he's photogenic, either. His huge eyes, lined with black, make a great point of focus for my camera, which tends to focus wherever it feels like. Jim demands attention like that. I started a shoot with Eiji before this, but it would not focus on his eyes, no matter what I seemed to do. Uuugggghhh. New camera, prz. Pentax, I'll fix you later. I do still love you, but I want a camera while I send you away. Also, canon lenses are much nicer for my wallet, and the 40D is much nicer in general.

Jim was/is a slave to the King of the Lupines of the Umbra. Personal slave i.e. hussy of the royal court. A slave in the umbra can never be freed (even in death they're considered to stay with their master and protect him from hostile spirits) and so when Patt saved his life, his term was transferred to Patt (much to the disgust of Mr. King) and he became Patt's slave i.e. Patt's personal hussy.
Patt refuses to call on Jim as his slave, unless he wants the boy to do something, like get him coffee during his late night study sessions, or... other... platonic... things >.>

ANYWAY. Jim has spent most of his life being terribly spoilt by the King, and is often draped in jewellry and expensive fabric. Mostly to be shown off. Quite often a slave with have an enormous gem around their neck. The bigger the gem, or the more precious, the more you (and your slave) were worth. And chains are a symbol of the capture. Yeppp. Thought this baby out.

I really like how this shoot came out. Granted, I sharpen/contrast raped it a bit, but I'm getting a point across. Most of them turned out! 8D
Anyway, pictures. There are many. It's taken me four hours to get this all together. It's somewhat repetitive, but I couldn't decide between them. I don't usually have the choice XD

This is Jim being a bit more like himself <3

In glandular news, I'm so tired these days. For no reason, really, other than being dead a little. I feel so exhausted -_-

And awwwww, my brother just sold his first item on ebay. HOW CUTE.

I've tried to post this seven times, I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE. Fucking net!!!!

weeee, internet

2008-06-23T10:09:13Z

My bandwidth is finished for the month (Gogo australian broadband!) and so most pages won't load... at all.

So I'll try to comment and read my flist entries, but I'll be slow and invisible until the 1st. Urrrg.

I feel tired and sick :<

BOORED.

2008-06-22T08:47:24Z

Took these this afternoon. Was bored. Camera focuses better with a flash. FILL FLASSSSHHH.

The kid plays arrrooouuunnndddd~

And I'm done.

Patt and Logan shoot

2008-06-20T05:27:59Z

I woke up at like, 12 this.. afternoon? I think that's it. Landlord was over, mowing lawns and such. So we got into cleaning and packing. Coming together, kinda. Still messy, but more organised.

I also found Simon's wallet. Which is good, but bad. He chucked a bit of a hizzy and yelled, and I felt guilty. I should have kept it hidden and then mailed it to him from Melbourne. I'M SORRY SIMON. I FOUND IT. He'd already canceled things and paid for new things and bought a new wallet. All that stuff. Yeaaah.

And because I felt guilty about Logan not having some Patt-time.

And now I think I'll get some goodfoods and go back to cleaning/packing.

Fribby.

2008-06-19T12:48:28Z

Changed my DA account.

http://hiritai.deviantart.com/

So yes. Just letting y'all know. I have a small Patt and Logan shoot to upload, might do that later on tomorrow. I really need to pack and clean.

Land lord is coming over tomorrow to clean the mess in the backyard. He was supposed to do it when we moved in, not out. But apparently not. He wants us to be out of the house between 11 and 1 on saturday, so he can show people through. I'm the paranoid twat that will hide all of my valuables in my wardrobe.

And I think that's about it.

I've also decided to pursue some kind of photography as a career. It makes sense to enhance something I already have some passion/talent for, right. So that's what I'm doing next year. I might do a short course or something before that.

EEEVVVEEERRR STRAAAAAYYY~

2008-06-18T05:51:23Z

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

1. Name:
Aeryn-Sigourney. It was Erin-Sigourney before I changed the spelling when I was about 13-14. In honesty, I never felt like an Erin. Sounds retarded, but that's how I felt, and I still do. It feels odd when people write my name like that these days. ERIN. Weiiiird.
Also, Sigourney because my dad has a thing for GUESS WHO. My initials used to be E.T, Sigourney Weaver is the star of the Alien movies, and now my name is the same as one of the main characters in Farscape. The irony of all of this is I have a morbid fear of aliens. It sounds hilarious, but it's a serious fear/phobia. Just a fact right there.

2. Age: 19!

3. Location: Canberra, soon to be Melbourne. AUSTRAALLLYA.

4. Occupation: Fuck all. I was working as a sales assistant/watchsmith, but then I got glandular fever, and I'm moving in three weeks... so seemed kinda pointless to have them keep me employed.

5. Partner: My beloved Simon <3 I annoy him and give him shit, but my god, I love the man. It's going to kill me to move away from him.

6. Kids: None, but one day. I say I hate them, but I do get clucky. So, I dunno. But one day, when I'm not mentally inept.

7. Brothers/Sisters: A 17 year old brotherbeast, Jack. I love him, he's hilarious. Not the smartest guy, but he has a heart of gold, and he's so hilaaarious XDD

8. Pets: I have two cockatiels (who I treat like people, rly) called Cawcaw and Tardis (yes, Tardis, fondly nicknamed Tard... which is so appropriate) and I have two dogs that live with my parents, Skip and Kalley.

9. List the 3-5 Biggest Things Going On In Your Life:
* Moving to Melbourne/Leaving Simon. I've always said LOL GONNA MOVE TO MELBOURNE IN A FEW YEARS and now I'm actually doing it, it's all a bit omg. I'm really excited about moving closer to my friends and my family, but leaving Simon is really going to break me. I love him so much, and now having him to wamr my cold hands and flail like a chicken each time is just... hard. I dunno. Also, the lack of sex.

*SICKNESSS. I have glandular fever/mono, and I have to move in two/three weeks. Is not so fun. I'm not even half packed. I should pack. But the sides of my throat are sticking together and if I stand up I DIE A LITTLE. Is not so fun :\

*Dolls in general. They're always a big thing. Obsessing over Patt, he's totally everything I've ever wanted in a manly doll. And he's such a fag <3

10. What did you go to school for?
Fucking nothing. I started doing my last year part time, but I decided to scrap that... so I only have half of a high school certificate. Which is pretty useless. But you know. Learning, friends. And then Clothing Production, which is a bit of wank. Needs more creativity. Looking at doing either some sort of textiles design or photography in the next few years. Eventually both, I should hope. I can't decide.

11. Parents: My parents are amazing. They're so supportive, loving and caring. I cry each time I think about how much they've helped me and encouraged me, and comforted me when it's all gone to shit. I couldn't say a bad thing about them, except that they're too damn far away.

12. Close Friends: Same sort of thing as above. The doll hobby has given me many things (mostly dolls) and what I value most from it are the friends I've gained ;~; I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Jim and Patt~

2008-06-17T06:28:12Z

As promised. Obligation, really. A few of the same shots from different angles, kinda. I couldn't decide which one I liked X3

It a semidead state last night I redid Patt's lips. They would have been nice, but Volks had airbrushed under his lip, too. I was going to just redo it, but I really like the rest of his faceup. I lightened his lips and made them slightly more pink/red. I'm not big on oranges and browns. I'm happy with it. It's a bit messy, but it'll do til I can afford to send him off.

Warning for boy love and such. You could always pretend Jim is a very flat girl, it's not hard.

*

**

Love this one:

Omake; HEIGHT DIFFEREEENCEEE <33 More so with boots, but it's still awesome.

* & ** :
Jim: Head? >D
Patt: Now? Here? ._.;;

Thanks for looking! <3

~

They're so cute ;0;

I restrung Patt last night, but I did it wrong, and he even more floppy than before (but still stood perfecfly, lols). And then I did it again and tore my fingers to shreds. But he doesn't flop all crazy anymore.

I can not believe how perfect he just slipped into the role of Patt. My idea for him was an El, when Logan was a Breakaway. But that turned out well. And it did. Perfect. Which reminds me. HE'S SO PERFECT <3

And now I had another sore throat. Is that supposed to happen? o_0;;

PATT DESU

2008-06-16T09:22:03Z

Some more Patt. Really, as if you didn't expect it.

It's kind of a bit repetitive, but there are some not-portrait shots. My camera decided to be nice to me today <3

I love this one <33

Thanks for looking! >,<

I think I'm done now.

HE'S SO PRETTY!~

Okay, really. I'm done now.

2008-06-16T05:15:46Z

Post was earlier today! Oprah hadn't even finished yet! D:

He's a BW F-30 with the... 01 ears? I'm pretty sure. The first ones. I am not well versed in the volksthings, who can tell?

OH WAIT THERE'S A BIRD ERUPTING FROM SIMONS NEST HAIR! D:

All right, I think we're okay now.

Patt is always ass first. Go figure I'd open the box to find this:

<33333

Brothers;

They're so alike! I'm not the only one who sees it, right? RIGHT? My god, so EPIC <333

And Patt with his fatheaded loveboy.

They don't click like he and Logan do, but I really don't think Sapphira looks like he fits next to any doll. It's growing on me, they look so cute up on my shelf. Jim is all clingy and Patt is glaring at the birds on my couch.

And some shitty snaps of Patt by himself. He's wearing jojo by MO-Nique/monique, with AOD eyes. Of which are Eijis. Poor kid never gets to keep things. I'll get Patt a nice wig of his own, Eiji can wear Haydens brown one til then, he looks better in it anyway.

And really, he looks odd in a fur wig >.>

Verdict!
Love him! X3 I might redo his faceup to better suit Logan, but it's growing on me. I dunno. Eventually he'll have some nice sliver eyes, and a neater black wig. I ordered one of the new dollheart suits for him today (omg yay! SUIT), he'll look snazzy in that.

But he's perfect. And Epic. Looks exactly how Patt should. And the volks FCS BW matches Hayden's MD white perfectly.

Okay, I'ma go and eat the chocolate my mum sent me.

You know what I'm sick of?

2008-06-16T01:04:08Z

Sheep trucks pulling up outside my suburban house. I keep thinking it's the mail van :<

Instead, it's a SHEEP TRUCK.

I've been looking at cameras and lenses preddy bad. I'm not going to just replace my pentax with a canon, I'ma upgrade 8D

Going to savesavesave and buy a Canon 5D. Mmmmmmmmm. With possibry a 35mm, but probabry the 50mm 1.4. The USM is tempting, but I can't justify $1000+ for that kind of lens. Maybe $700-800. Just seems pointless with the increase in size. To me, anyway.

A nice fixed should do me fine for a walk-around and half decent doll pics. I really want to get it right this time. I'm far more experiences than when I bought my pentax. Lo, behold, I actually know what a dslr is now. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not far off from where I was.

The 5D will allow me to move slowly into professional finish if I end up going that way, while still being just that much better and bigger than the 40D. I like having big cameras, I don't have big hands persay, but my piano fingers wrap around a 450D like, three times. Again, with the exaggeration.

The 85mm usm would be nice, too. I think it's a usm.

But really, who needs a lens when you have a 5D?

And, if you haven't guessed with all my rambling, I am waiting for a doll.

Umbra - Chapter One and Two

2008-06-15T04:42:59Z

Posted this on DA a while back, but I'm big on posting things everywhere. You should know that.

The Umbra is the Shadow world, a world mirroring our own. It's a much more brutal world, still being colonised and run by corrupt slavers and ruthless warlords/kings. So, not much different, really, but much more hedonistic and obvious about it. The main two races are Lupines, who are wolf and sometimes plant (yes, plant) shape-shifters - and the Umbramorph, or shadow dancers, who are a very spiritual race of shadow controlling... folk. The two do not get along. Patt is a Lupine, Jim is an Umbramorph. And they're LOVERRRSSS. /wank

Anyway, no smut (I know! D: ) and no spell/grammar checking. Are not so good. I like the first one, though. I love Patt, I think I'm the only one XDD
Patt is my f-30, Jim is my B&G Sapphira. Jack is a character my brother insisted I name after him. He's not going to be in this very long, so don't get attached.

++++

Chapter One - Mirror Lake

In the Umbra, there is an endless lake. Endless in distance and depth, the Mirror Lake brings an unnerving truth to morbid legend of a torturous underworld. Those who bring themselves to look against the surface of the lake are said to entrap their living souls beneath it, eternally.

Breaking the mirrors surface, he erupted from the calmness. Water shattered in waves all around him and his arms flailed for something, anything. Breathless and panicking, he found a hanging rope. Or was it thrown to him?
The rope was icy and fraying, and it stung his fingertips. His body ached. His muscles were cold and wrenching as they struggled to give him the strength to crawl from the water. As it dripped from his body, it felt thick and heavy and it stuck to him like blood. He screamed, vulnerable and dying again. Dying all over again, freezing.

Kneeling on the snowy, wooden pier, he was alone. It was quiet and there was nothing.

He was beyond the water. He was above the surface.

Looking back into the lake, there was no reflection. He could feel the depths gaze upon his escaped soul like it had betrayed them. He could felt it surround him, strangling him and tearing at him. His hands clenched and he rolled onto his back. Breathing. He drew his knees close, fearing hands would reach out and take hold. The edge of the pier grew closer with each apprehension that played in his mind.

Suddenly there was no edge, and he was standing.

He was shaking, but he was standing. The first step was stiff and his knees nearly buckled under the weight. The next step felt death defying, and there was an enormous thud as his foot thundered against the wood. The knowledge that he hadn’t fallen after that was just enough to warrant a third step. With each pace, it was warmer. The water was just water now, casually dripping and coursing down his body. They were like scars, melting from his body in tiny, furious, rivers. As he slowed, finally stopping at the end of the pier, he met the sand with dry feet. The sand was warm, as though there was an invisible sun to crisp what grains were free from the lake.

To set fire to the hearts of men who dare be called dead.

Chapter 2 - Shadowman

The trees rustled in such a way that blanketed the night with an eerie coldness. The street lamps should have flickered on and off like they had for years, but tonight there was a shadow in the air. It was thick and looming, and people avoided the night if they could. Few souls walked the streets, but those who made their way home walked quicker tonight.

He’d spent all day at the office. His boss knew it was a public holiday, and he knew Jack could have used the day off to prepare for his exams. Those exams would allow Jack into the weekly planning meetings, and everyone knew Jack was a far better planner than the section boss. Jack’s boss knew it too, and so he never gave Jack the chance.

It was cold and he’d forgotten his jacket. Rubbing his hands together for warmth, he could have sworn they’d turned purple. They ached and cracked as he slipped them into his pockets, making his way down the stairs to the subway.

He was alone on the platform, as always. No, not alone. There was a looming loneliness, a body that slept beside the vending machine. It groaned as the last train’s approach was announced. Fifteen minutes. The groan bounced across the tiles and down the tracks, eaten by the shadows. Jack approached the body. It was a boy, and he was dressed well, it seemed. He looked out of place, lying on the ground, wrapped in a dirty sleeping bag. The boy ran his hands through his hair and turned his head to meet the face above. He pulled himself up slowly, arching his back.

“Are… you okay?” Jack asked quietly.

The boys vibrant blonde hair stuck to his face like the sun to the evening sky. He looked up at Jack with sky blue eyes that seemed to alive while the rest of him was dormant around them. His face was odd. It was familiar, but there was something… inhuman about him, something ethereal, and he radiated a foreign intensity.

He lounged back against the wall.

“Have you seen a man with long black hair? He’s pale, with grey eyes.” The boy asked. His voice was strange, too, almost musical – like a string instrument, it seemed to twang with each sound, carrying right through to the next word. It faded when he stopped speaking, as though he’d stopped playing.

“Uh… I don’t think so.”

The boy glanced down at his watch, shaking it down to his wrist joint, “What does your watch say?”

Jack’s watch was four minutes fast, “It’s 2:48”

The boy stood up. He looked much younger as Jack saw him as a whole, he couldn’t have been more than sixteen. He was lithe and wore a suit that was far too big for him. It was well worn and looked as though he’d been wearing it constantly. Perhaps it was just old.

“I’m waiting for the black haired man, with pale skin and grey eyes.”

Jack didn’t know what to say. He glanced at the timetable flashing on the screens. It was 2:45, fifteen minutes until the last train. Fifteen minutes to find conversation, or avoid it.

“What’s your name?” Jack cleared his throat, “I’m Jack.”

“…Jim” The boy spoke with that stringy voice that seems to go on forever until it stopped. His name sounded magical when he said it.

Jack nodded, rocking on his heels. He nodded at the vending machine, “Did you want something?”

Jim shook his head. Jack fished through his pocket, running his fingertips across the change. He watched the boy studied the tunnels, leaning over the platform and turning his head to look down both ways.

“Hey, be careful over there.” Jack told him, fetching his chocolate bar from the tray as it tumbled off the shelf.

Jim didn’t answer him, and Jack could hear the crunch of gravel. He cocked his head to see Jim venture off into the dark, following the tracks. He ran towards the edge of the platform, slipping to a stop on the tiles. He couldn’t see him.

“Jim?” He looked down the other side, “Jim! The train will be here soon…. Jim?”

This is what you get for talking to strange people, Jack, He thought to himself.

“I’m not coming after you, Jim.” He paused, waiting for an answer. Why wasn’t he answering?

“I don’t know where he’ll be.” He heard a voice from behind. He stood up, turning to face Jim, who was sitting back on his blankets, “Part of me doesn’t believe he’ll be here. I don’t trust Logan. I want to, but he’s never liked me, and so he treats me like I’m not even worth the space I take up.”

Jack sighed and walked back over to him, “I thought I saw you jump down onto the tracks.”

“You did?” Jim sighed, “No. I thought about it, but I’m not wearing shoes and it’d hurt my feet. It was probably just the shadow, it is one of those darker nights, after all.”

Jack looked to the platform and then at Jim, “What do you mean?”

“Haven’t you ever heard or seen things in the dark? You could have sworn they were there, but when the lights are on it’s no different?” Jim narrowed his eyes, “It’s not a bad thing, the shadow. But I wouldn’t trust it.”

Jack looked around, that coldness coming back in an instant.

They were alone on the platform. No. Not alone.
~

And yes. It's, like...2:30, woke up an hour ago. I feel sick. I'll be you're tired of hearing that, but I really do ;_;

PATT TOMORROW. Definitely! Yay! <333

Touchdown!

2008-06-13T11:16:54Z

Feel pretty sick today. I think I can attribute that to not sleeping until, like, 5 this morning because I was watching Rain. Or Speed Racer. One of those, I can't remember, it was too early. One of them was Korean and the other was an entire movie. Something like that.

My Volksbeast/Patt has cleared customs. Maybe tomorrow, more likely Monday. Eiji's head came on a Saturday, but Lucy was supposed to and never did. So I dunno, I guess we'll see. It'd be super nice if auspost were to spoil me as such, but they're proving to be wankers over these last few months. Having said that, it'll never happen now.

And just so I don't prove completely useless for people who only friend me for Hayden, have some Hayden.

To be honest, I'm so sick of him -_-;;;
More... sick of only being able to take portrait shots of my dolls in general. I don't think I could ever get sick of Hayden. He's actually wearing Eiji's pleather pants in this. Kinda wish I could take a decent shot of it. It's attractive, the boy has loverly thighs. It's odd to see him with longer hair after wearing his fur wig all this time, but it's a nice change.

Gonna buy a canon (probably a 40D, maybe a 5D if I can muster a job) and a nice 50mm to start off with. If I have to spend $300 to fix a camera I'd swap for a canon any day, I may as well put the money towards a camera I want and use the pentax breaking as an excuse. I'm not going to sell my pentax, it still takes photos. I just have to... struggle and whine. It's better than having no camera at all. I just have to be good and save hard. I've never been good with sticking to plans x.X

A REVIEW

2008-06-13T02:30:31Z

Speed Racer can be summarised in 3 words.

Flashing, LOLRAIN, and epic. But not the normal kind of epic. Just you know. Brightly coloured Emile Hirsch kind of epic. Was good, I liked it.

And again. LOLRAIN.

Fuckers.

2008-06-11T08:47:58Z

And suddenly we're back to Logan. Uninspired, sick, and my camera is broken. Good work.

And try and count up all the ways that you could waste away.

And I just like this one the most, but it doesn't fit in with the others. Kinda the same as one of the big one, but is different expression. Is love <3

This is like when I changed Hayden to a Ryu... it's this sudden... omg Logan!you'resoperfect <3

And a camera rant. Fucking wanker.

This:

Is the problem I have. FUCKING FACE ISN'T IN FOCUS. It's not the lens, it's not the settings - it's the focus failing. I know this because I've 1. tried to reset the focus meter, and it don't change anything, and 2. I've been told this. It will not focus on his face, no matter what I do. I can't focus on small, details like that from far away. Even manual focus changes nothing. I, myself, can not fix the problem. The camera is broken. I have knocked it too many times, that's why. I've been able to do it previously, so it's not something I've just noticed.

This is why I can't take decent photos of anything beyond a dolls face. $60 for a quote, plus repair costs, which are estimated at $300+

Now, I don't know about you - but I fucking hate my camera. I would swap it for a canon in a second if I had that kind of money. In which I don't even have for the fucking repair. Which means, in my head, spending that kind of money on my pentax isn't even worth it.

Just.... ugh.

And yes. That was my day. I also wrote smut. But gonna go through that now and decide if I'll post it. It's kinda shit and rushed.

Lock him away!

2008-06-09T06:51:46Z

Some Jim, because he's my favourite at the moment. He's even wearing the favourite shirt. Only my favourite wears THE FAVOURITE SHIRT. No, because it fits him well. Makes him look so weedy. I also cut his hair last night, thinned it out so it sat around his shoulders better, and I figured it wouldn't be that long, made no sense.
These turned out nice, exposure-wise. It's a lovely cloudy day. Actually, they kinda get better at the end, so skip to the end. Took me the whole of Chicago to edit these. And seriously, I focus on his head, and it'll focus on the ground behind him. The camera repair office won't email me back, and if I take it into a store I know they'll charge millions of dollars in handling commission. Fuckers.

I edited/raped his eyes pretty bad. I like them to glow, I want to be able to see them in the dark. And blushing makes his ears look much nicer <3

And they're green. Mostly.

Jim: This is my head, right? Am I doing this right?

<33

YEEAAAAH. Thanks for looking <3

~i

You can kind of tell I just popped Logan's head off and didn't bother to change Jim into some more... Jim-esque clothes. I really need to buy/make him some clothes he'd actually wear. Like Thai fisherman pants and lots of beads. But I'm poor and useless. I woke up at 5pm yesterday, then didn't get to sleep til 6am this morning. Simon woke me up at 11, and it's all shit. I can't sleep, don't tell me to. It's pointless lying in bed if I can't sleep. My head spins and my throat feels like a batman and joker comic. IT'S ON FIRE.

Feel okay. I'm drugged on codeine and tea. Patt should ship tomorrow (F-30 FTW!) and we say goodbye to the apparently-coveted breakaway. I went mad for it and it was gone, just like that. It's epic. But you know how the image in your head goes.

And I'm done.

UUUUGGGGHHHHHH

So I had a friend come over to stay last night. I'd forgotten she was coming, and I'd since gone dead with my fever of the glandular. So I told her I couldn't go out and drink with her. She seemed a bit cut. She stayed for a while and then went out by herself.

Came back today, though, with her boyfriend. I'd been awake for half an hour before I died, and had to go back to sleep at about 12. Woke up at 5 and they went home. I just got out of the bath and I still feel like crap.

Ugh, I am so over this.

Anyway, it's the long weekend for the queens birthday. In Canberra, it's legal to buy and use fire works on these three days, so everyone has gone mad and it letting them off. Fuckers. Not happy Marcia.

ERU DESU

COPY PASTEish.
Ahahahahaahahaha. To be honest, the Death Note fandom wore me out after a while.

Jim has heavy eyeliner and pouty lips, and so in a black wig he reminds me of L. It's all hilarious. And he's in a bath robe. HIIIILARIOUSSS. I had to take some pictures, but I've still got fucking mono (STILL, AFTER A WEEK. Uuuggghhh I'm gonna die, I wanna do stuff!!), so they're not exactly exciting. I was still sitting on the couch 8D

~

Omake:

I had to take Jim's ears out. He looked so lost XD He looks weird with normal eyes, lol.

Blushed his ears last night, too.

Needs his earrings.

This is my 'space'

Isn't mono exciting? Look at Jim. He's all shotabait in his hotpants.

~

Thanks for looking! OH LOL JIM.

And Mon, movers are wanting to picking up my stuff on the 6th of July, so looks like the 5th/6th of July. Is that all good? ._.

SCHTUFFFFFF and Jim.

2008-06-04T15:33:53Z

Took these at the same time as the Logan shoot. Just stripped him and popped his head of on my back step. We're all about casual here.

<COPY AND PASTE>
Jim turns up completely different on camera. I've never had/seen another doll that captivates me like this boy. There are mostly... the same kind of shot... but... different... arm positions. I'm obsessed with his hands! o-o;;;;

Anyway, I think I might be a bit closer to a smile. He's pretty cranky, but sometimes his lips seem to curl. I think he just needed to go outside and cool off. He's still pretty mad about those cookies. And yes, I'm going to keep going on about the cookies. Poor kid is mortified.

Took me forever to get some of these in focus. And I didn't edit them much. Cept the eyes in a few. I can't help myself. I like GLOWY.

Lol, Mon. These hot pants are too big on Jim. JIM HAS NONE ASS.

Omake:

Lolhair.

And obligatory face shot. I tried to be less FACE, but my camera is having focusing difficulties, so... it's hard to do that sometimes XD

FACCCEE. Nice faceup, Jim.

Jim's faceup is default, his eyes are B&G, his wig is jpop, boots are releaserain, and his outfit was made by kawaii_mon.

Thanks for looking! <3

</COPY AND PASTE>

Yeah, so today was shit. I feel shit. I'm over this LOL SICK thing. I want to do things! I need to do things, I want to play with mah dorrehs, and play games and walk arrrooouunnd and FUCKING EAT. God. All I could eat today were tea biscuits. Not tea. JUST THE BSICUITS.

I did manage to shuffle my icons around though, and finally update my userinfo. That's about as far as my productivity stems for today.

UUUUGGGHHH and birds just keep getting electrocuted by the wired about our shed. At the moment, we have a bat and a magpie hanging off them ,(The bat has been there for about two months now, it's not pretty) and about five cockatoos in the last month have died. The poor things. i always feel so terrible when I go out there and I can't do anything to stop it from happening.

Okay. Bed time. My fever has calmed down now, and my head has stopped spinning. LETS TRY AGAIN.

AND MY GOD. HOUSE. WHO ELSE CRIED. I CRIED.

IMAGINE

2008-06-04T08:30:35Z

Some nicer photos of Logan. I took some of Jim after I took these, but my fever is coming back so I'll upload them later.

That's who stole your fucking cookies, Jim ._.;;;

Thanks for looking!
Logan: *breaks things* >:{

IF YOU CHOOSE TO PULL THE TRIGGER
SHOULD YOUR DRAMA PROVE SINCERE
DO IT SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM
HERE.

And now I'm gonna lie down. Feel dead. My throat aches.

a painted peroth?

2008-06-04T00:58:37Z

I sat up and did Logan's faceup last night/early this morning. I'm really happy with it. I might darken his brows later, but they'll do for now.

SO PICS. Nothing special, I'm sick and it was cold and windy and mrrrrggg ;_;

The new and improved Logan:

LOL. Courtesy of Simon.
I haven't spelled my name like that since I was like, 14. It looks so foreign! D:

No, but really. Logan. He's on Jim's B&G body, which is a perfect match. I'll be getting him one the same when I can afford it. Frail coma boy is not so buff.

WHOA LOOK. That's not a breakaway.

God, I love those hands! He looks so pale in this, lols.

I tried to make the faceup similar to the one I did on the breakaway. Less obvious, NS is easier to make things look natural. I don't usually line my dolls eyes with white. I really like doing it with Logan though, in any form XD I wish you could see the lines on his lips. THEY'RE NICE.
And look! His wig looks okay! It shapes his head so much better, which I'm glad for. He and Vin won't have to share wigs anymore.

So yes. This is Logan, as he is in my head. It fits now.

And that was my late night adventure. And now I have a fever. Good work, Aeryn. I feel like shit BUT I WANT TO DO STUFFFFFF.

OH HELLO.

2008-06-03T15:33:15Z

IT'S 1:30.

Usually I go to bed after Letterman finishes, but for some reason I decided to paint Logan. Pics tomorrow. All I have to say is;

1. His head is small. Smaller than Eiji's, almost.

2. Painting NS is so much easier than BW.

3. Hot fucking damn.

ONE MORE

2008-06-03T08:00:35Z

Hey guys, it's me again. Raping your friends list. Three posts a day, fuck yeah.

This guy came out right as I started to get a niche for Jim. I'd been wanting a tribal/temple dancer character for a while, and I'd started working it in with another completely different character. Jim just kinda stole that all away and started his own thing. Even sexing on Patt in the end.

He just has this inhuman beauty about him. Looks odd, but it's attractive 8D

These are really repetitive, in that they're the same shot from different angles. Also unedited and the iso is to high and blahblah ughhhh. I'm sick and it's raining, those are my excuses.

Omake:

Jim: What is this 'pants' crap? Where are my robes?! :\

+10 zoom. He has such lovely hands. Make good for pointing.

I have no idea. There's a pair of scissors, Logan's head, and Jim's spare ears that don't fit in his head 8D

Okay, for serious going to lie down.

ARRRIIIIVAL

2008-06-03T07:22:38Z

I feel sick, so I'm just going to copy and paste.

I told myself it was all going to crap because it's been such an annoying doll experience overall and I knew something was going to go wrong. Not so bad, but the post man did make me wait until about 4pm, when he usually comes at 9am x.X Way to make me worry. Anyway, my emo-boy postman (srsly, he has hot flicky bangs and streaks! He'd so wear tight black jeans to work if they let him! OMGHESSOHOT <333) sauntered up my driveway with Jim's box... and he had another box with him!

This became a lot more wordy than I thought. Mini review, I guess? XD

TWO BOXES! 8D OMG TWWOOOO.

Logan's new head omg! *-* SO HOT <3

I actually got this far and died a little. Glandular fever nowai! That's another surprise I got today 8D *dead*

After some peroth goodness/dying, I finally opened the big box.

To be honest, I looked at him an went "HMMM. Oh, okay. Those are really nice for acrylics."
He really wasn't doing it for me.

And man, his head is so much bigger (AND FLATTER OMG IS SO FLAT) than I thought it'd be.

I was expecting something like Hayden's faceup, and it is. Different, obviously, but Hector is my favourite faceup artist for a reason. Just gorgeous. I was paranoid the eyeliner wouldn't be as thick or whatever, but it is. Awesome *-*

Found his ears and the eyes I ordered and decided to give them a go.

HELL YESSSSSS.

WIGGGGG.

Next to logan (who has a pretty small head, but still)

Flathead! XD

The NS peroth matches the NS B&G almost perfectly. in fact, once there's a layer of MSC, I'm pretty sure it'd be -perfect-. Scale is awesome, too. I'll def be getting Logan one of these *-*
And his wig fits him better! XD
So yeah, semi introduction to the new face of Logan. I'm glad I kept those silver souldoll eyes, they're perfect for him.

For some reason I remember them being better standers. Big!Puffin was a solid stander, and Jim ain't so good. Not bad i.e best stander in my current crew... but you know. Not as good as the older body I had. Maybe it's the stringing. I dunno. But still IS NICE <33

Hands: I wasn't sure I'd like them from owner pics and site pics... but man. IRL, they are SO gorgeous and expressive. Favourite hands ever *-* Definitely an improvement from the old hands.

And that's Jim... and Logan to an extent >.>

He's so oddly pretty, just like he's supposed to be ;0;

His eyes are from B&G and his wig is from jpop dolls <3
WEEEEEE!<3 Now we're just waiting on Patt, pay him off soon. Woooomansex *-*

~

I'm really happy with him, he's perfect. I just hope he looks okay with Patt. I'm sure he will. Volks have enormous heads.

And also, I have glandular fever. I TOLD YOU I WAS FUCKING SICK. Yeah!

UUUUGGHHH. BRB. Dead. Might upload a few more pics later.
