Faun Doll Chateau Lilian and Dearmine Cat Neko Inanis BJD Doll Photoshoot
Today, I got around to making a new bjd doll photoshoot. It is a bit difficult to do photoshoots that feature more than one doll. I try to avoid it as much as possible. The standing poses are extremely difficult. I do not like to rely on doll stands. They tend to steal focus. Without the doll stands, I need to balance the dolls against solid objects. The couch prop is rather useful for group photos. Aside from taking photos, I also make a short video of the dolls. I figure that I might kill two birds...
Valentine’s Day Hollow Knight x Marilyn Monroe Parody: Geos are a Bug’s Best Friends
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. I spent the entire morning brainstorming a good Valentine’s Day blog post. In the end, I decided to make it a Hollow Knight parody. Unlike my usual parodies, this one is based on a Marilyn Monroe movie called Gentlemen Prefer them Blonde. Above, you can see the still shot I used in order to make my drawing. As a stand in for Marilyn Monroe, I used the Eternal Emilitia. Both maidens were the courtesan of rulers. It is implied that Emilitia was a courtesan of the Pale King, but she was cast out. While Marilyn Monroe...
My 4 Favorite Writers: Bram Stoker, Mark Twain, Franz Kafka and Agatha Christie
Bram Stoker Books Review Bram Stoker was an Irish, Gothic writer. He was influential in modernizing the concept of Vampires. Almost all the vampire movies and books draw on Bram Stoker for inspiration. The pity is considering that the vampire Carmilla predates Dracula. She also followed different rules and she was more akin to the concept of Revenants. Aside from Dracula, Bram Stoker wrote a series of macabre short stories. The first one ironically was about Dracula. All his books focus on the old world and superstition. It critiques modernists’ disdain of the old way. This is mostly noted in...
La Pieta Hollow Knight Parody
Today, we got around to making a new Hollow Knight Parody. In this one, you can see the White Lady cradling her last remaining child, The Hollow Knight. In the background, you can see the infestation taking hold. She is immune to the Radiance, but sadly, she wasn’t able to pass that immunity to her descendant. The idea is that she is saying goodbye, before, he is finally sealed away. The Hollow Knight game has a lot of Jesus allegories. The knight born to be a sacrificial bug is a such an obvious Jesus Allegory, I am surprised nobody else...
Sleepy Time Fox BJD Dream Valley Doll in Yellow Pajamas Photoshoot
If you are new to my website, I want you to know that I do cute bjd doll photoshoots once a week. I could do more, but I do not want this hobby to consume me. I have a lot of books and manga pages to work on. The theme of today’s photoshoot is bedtime. I have my fox doll wearing a cute flower pajama. I think it suits him rather well. I changed up the wig in order to give him a more girly look. It is fun to mix and match wigs. The...
