Re-charging Batteries

Just a few pics of Lassiter outside "re-charging his batteries", so to speak.

Actually it was so nice outside I wanted to take some photos and Lassiter is one that can actually "take" the sunlight, so he was voted for new photos.

Sharp Dressed Man

There are several males within the Brotherhood world that are sharp dressers...……..Butch, of course, but I'm in the process of re-shelling him now, so don't have his character to represent here......ditto Rehv. Trez is one I do have, that I have always thought of as a sharp dresser as well.

I found this suit in my stash, and realized it has been a really long time since I put someone in it, and an even longer time since I photographed someone in it...……….I can't even find any old photographs of one of the guys wearing it. I decided to pull Trez out and let him model.

I have to say he looks pretty sharp in it, with or without the jacket.

Iple really did some wonderful suits back in the old days. The sculpts weren't have bad either, as you can see below.

Sometimes you Disagree

I don't imagine it's easy being mated to the daughter of a deity. Her protective instincts are as strong as his and she's as deadly as any of the Brothers.

Being the only human male in a mansion full of vampires could also be a bit a trial.

But at the end of the day...…...Manny really likes his life, even if he's not always thrilled with his mates job.

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.
