As the "dressed only in suspension" photos seem to make the rounds again (thanks, @Wass_Nonnam ), here's a couple where I gave free rein to Vivi and the photographer to play around with the idea a bit.
Szolárka with a flaming sword - I have made a professional decision not to have a crush on my model which I have failed immediately when she was staring back at me with a flaming blade in her hand on our first shoot.
Sword: @ABodorics
Custom sidering'd Messer cross with stylized dragon heads in 16th century style, AKA 3 hours of filework - could have been more if I wasted time measuring and marking stuff, but I'm not doing that if I can avoid it.
I took @Ironlilyart 's character, Clinye, for a spin (with permission). Melinda, the model, and @aczel_pictures knocked it out of the park - I provided the longsword and ballock dagger, plus the leather bikini, and gently asked if it could be a bit... darker. So meet Clinye's feral goth cousin.
Zsuzsi and Kitty, reinterpreting the alleged 1892 topless duel some 400 years earlier, moments before Kitty executing a takedown.
Photography by @aczel_pictures of course.
The entire shoot is on P in the shop, and it'll make it to the main feed starting in a few days - the latter will have explanations for context and stuff, the former is available immediately.
Just a bit of a teaser from the latest shoot we did with @aczel_pictures - first time with two models. It was only slightly terrifying, but it turned out great.
This monster of a modernized Bauernwehr is done. Perfect for clearing a house - not necessarily the room-by-room kind, more like the "see that house? I don't want to anymore" kind.
Since the scale is extremely deceptive here, stats: 620mm oal, 442mm blade, 1430g weight.
Nearly-done commission.
I really like this table surface for stuff like this, because it conceals the true scale of stuff very well. However, the soon-to-be lanyard hole in the back? That's 10mm of diameter.
