Dr On Call

It's been a while since I've had Manny out and since I just read Lover Unleashed (he and Payne's book) again in preparation for the Sinner, I felt compelled to get him in front of the camera.

He and V are probably the 2 characters that their resin counterparts come closest to how I have always seen the characters in my head when I read. Wrath and Beth are really close as well, but Manny is almost exactly how I see him when I read.

I've been very lucky over the years to find artists with the skills to help me in bringing my vision of the dolls to "life". My friend Lyn who did Manny's face paint, (as well as finding me his stethoscope). Helen in NZ did Manny's scrubs and Dr coat. She even embroidered his name on his coat. All the special touches really add to the "realism" I strive for when photographing the dolls.

I wish I had a second set of scrubs for the guys as well as the girls, so V could "assist" and Jane and Ehlena could be in the same picture. At the moment I only have one set ea. Ehlena assisting Manny below.

An Appropriate Prop

I noticed not too long ago that Iplehouse (the company that makes most of the dolls pictured here) now had "daggers" in the weapons section of their website, so of course I had to get one to see if they would work well for the guys of the Brotherhood. I ordered a set of the new hands (shaped to actually hold the daggers) for V to go along with his new dagger, and they arrived today, so a perfect excuse to take some new V pics.

I also got some new gloves for him, as his old glove was so old, the pleather had started peeling. This set of gloves is longer than the old ones, but it works.

Gosh I so love this doll...………...he really is so how I see V in my head.

A close up of his dagger. I think I may have to put in an order for a couple more. Now I just need to find someone to make me a holster for them...………………..

I love finding props like this that can work with the dolls.

The Broken One

When I shelled Z, we decided to do the leaner version of him when he was just coming back from his brokenness a bit, and not at full weight, so he's on the leaner version of the Iple body. Lyn outdid herself with him. He is so detailed, he has his slave tattoo's, facial scar, Brotherhood pec scar, piercings and his back scars along with his girls, Nalla and Bella carved in his back. It's been a while since I've had him out for photos so I decided to get some new ones of him today.

Trying to show off his back scars and the carvings of his girls in his back here.

Lastly a shot of his face showing the awesome job Lyn did on his facial scar.

Fly By Nalla

Just a fly by shot of cuteness...………….Nalla and Boo.

The Healing Hand

Another old picture I dug out of the archives...……...showing the level of detail Lyn did on V's "healing" hand...………….well, in Butch's case its healing, not so much for anyone else.

Penthouse Playtime

I took these pics a couple of years ago, inspired by V and Jane playing at the penthouse.

Just thought I'd share them here as I did like how the whole series of shots turned out. 

The dolls can be a challenge to pose at times because of their weight and balance points, but both V and Jane were cooperating for me the day I took these.

And a shot actually showing Jane's face.........she really does "feel" like the Jane I see in my head. Both of these dolls do.

Second Chances

Since I hadn't had Selena/Therese out for quite a while I decided to give her and Trez a little play time yesterday to continue on with the romantic theme for Valentine's Day weekend. The color resin that Iplehouse used for this version of the Kamau sculpt was so beautiful I wish they had continued on with this color. The current ebony resin is much darker and not near as "rich". Makes me very glad I got this version of the sculpt, who does make my perfect Trez. Gotta love that eight pack.

Selena/Therese shares a body with another character, so she doesn't get as much playtime as some of the other characters. I do like this sculpt in this role though.............even if she isn't seen very often.

My favorite part of this pair is defintely Trez though.
