Warrior progress! [Backstage look, +18]

Hello my Sweethearts!

Time to share with you on what was all the time since my last post was spent )
We worked hard on shooting "gentle" part of our beautiful Warrior and ready to show small glimpse of that.

Here I tried to pick few photos from the Backstage that might show all the stages we went throu on set )
As always, I have small production story for you to tell.
This one will be about PANTS. Yes, pants )
When we were working on the concept of our Warrior, we took as the starting point "warrior of mid-east look". If you google it, a lot of interesting references come out. So we were desperately seeking for the right armour-plating.
Armour on our model was made throu small collaboration with one of our Friend, who is a big fan of Field Role-playing.  
But before all that, we found beautiful hakama-pants in "Treasery" which you might saw on photos I shared with you via Discord ) I said that there wasn't too much usable things, but pants were the exception.
So when we found that hakama I remembered one old idea in my stash of Onna-bugeisha (name for the female samurai). Being specific, there is one shot I imagened at that time and it concerns hakama.
But it's hard to find or make proper japanese armour set (it'll be expensive and we live in Siberia), so it means female warrior needs to wait more. BUT.
We still can try out some ideas from that concept and make another version of female warrior. )
I can say that finished look is nowhere near to reality standarts. Some parts, like PANTS, are don't belong there, but if weared right might appear like trousers.

 I don't know if the sword was right to the image.  Small fact: sword on photos was made to be used in fancing. That's why it's not polished and rough looking. At the end, if it looks good on photo, what else is needed for us, right? )
Second story, but small is called "Bathtub".
In "gentle" part of this photoshoot, we wanted to show image of strong warrior transorming in "just tired yound woman who seeks for rest".
What can be best after cold weather and hardships? Warm bath )
At least that were we thinking.
It was hard to find proper bathtub, so the one you'll see on photos is the best we could find in our city. At first we wanted huge metal or wooden washtub, but for that kind of prop we needed to find very specific interrior. And sewage. And a lot of warm water. And proper light. List can go on and on )
At times like this, I once again understand that for greater looking projects, we need a lot of funds and it can be very expensive. And crew members.
Without your support we wouldn't do even that much, so I'm really grateful. But wish there will be more people loving our works. )
Anyway, I decided that if we can't do like we imagined, we can do it another way. Find suitable location, and find beautiful white tub ) The Key was to maintain specific color sceme of the set and light pattern during shoot.
Hope you'll love the final result at the rewards day, that'll mean we succeed )
Now, take a look )

It was hard, but enjoyable photoshoot, but work are not over and post-production awaits )
In next post, I'll share with side project, I was working parallel to our main photoshoot. Just something to entertain you )
Have a great day and please don't overdo yourself at work!
