Reward phone wallpapers №2 [Specials]

Continuation of previous rewards post.
Fun fact:
Both photoshoots were shot on same location. I don’t think, I told you something new, because you already saw both photoshoots. But, if you haven’t noticed similarities, that means we did good. )
Fun fact x2:
We shot 3 photoshoots on that same location in 1 month spawn, roughly speaking every 1,5 week. I started to get sick of it, but all it was just pure coincidence. It just happened, that people in one same month liked same pl...

Reward phone wallpaper №1 [Ashe Noir pt.2]

Hello my Sweethearts!
April finished, May started. So our Ashe project should be finished, and Nezuko Reshoot needs to be started. Natural way of things in Dzikan photography. )
Today is the day, when cycle will renew itself. I hope, Rewards will bring you joy and smile on your face.
This time I decided to make messages compact as hard as I could. Changes were made, because Patreon reduced number of characters in messages, as I wrote on Discord month ago. It’ll continue to be so, u...

Ashe waiting for her turn to play Billiards [progress update]

Hello my Sweethearts!

Time for fresh update on our current project. As I wrote in previous post, one of Ashe's activities is playing billiards. Aside drinking vine and enjoying herself, like it was in previous part.
Here is she, waiting for her turn. We tried to play around the idea of viewer being part of the image. Like desirable guest.
I like this shot, because it is classic example of how to create depth in flat image - combination of framing, light scheme and use of objects...

Ashe Noir pt.2 progress update!

Hello my Sweethearts!
I have first results on second part as title says.
To my Friends, who happened to not see last post (due to your busyness or previous posts being "private"), "Nezuko Reshoot" project happened to be postponed due to circumstances. Collectively, me and my patron-friends, decided "Ashe Noir second part" to be our priority for April.
Second part will consist mostly of boudoir images of Ashe. Not just only posing, but actually doing something interesting. )
Truthf...

Project discussion! [Important poll/note]

Hello my Sweethearts!
First of all, I wanted to thank each one of you for so much love, you showed me on my birthday. I'll do my best to be better person and more productive creator. Positive energy is overflowing me! )
I was silent a bit, because we needed to solve one complicated problem/issue.
Can't say, we haven't predicted it long before, but I hoped, we'll manage to negotiate successfully. Sometimes, plans can be stoped by unpredicted things. Like health or ,just, a lot of work...

Dzikan's birthday!

Hello my Sweethearts!
Today is my birthday. Strangely, I feel very energetic and bright, because usually it was the saddest day on earth to me. Don't know why. And I'm glad, it is different today. )

I wanted to thank you all for love, support and patience, you showed and showing to me all these years. May you be blessed with everything you wish for in this life.
We are all Team Dzikan, and every one of you are and will be in special place in my heart. Always.

I'm going to ...

Another Side project!

Hello, my Sweethearts!
As I promised in Discord, I'm sharing with my new side project!
Since our main photoshoot is getting postponed each time, when we've already planned actual shoot (I don't know why it is so complicated this time), I decided to work on another side project. This way, when we'll start post-production to Nezuko, it'll be smooth.
I hope, this way, I'll manage not make you wait for too long.

This side project is called Sailor 2B. I think, it is interesting co...

My recent side project!

Hello my Sweethearts!
As was promised in Discord, today, I'm sharing with beautiful side project, that I finished recently.
Meet Yeneffer in her Boudoir. This photoshoot was shot in February, back when my depression started to kick really hard. So, I'm not sure, how to evaluate my own work.
We didn't use impulse light sources on set and decided to go with natural window light. So, you could see how color temperature changed over time. And it was very fast, in 1 hour (all we had) lig...

April's project reveal!

Hello, my Sweethearts!
I finally came back after finishing our last Albedo project. From the messages I recieved from you, it came out good, so with easy heart, I can move on to the next project.
Thank you very much for love and support, I deeply appreciate it. )

I gave myself one day to rest and  right away jumped in work. Not because, I don't like to rest, but there are several side projects, that I need to finish, and they waited for some time already. Side work is side w...

Reward phone wallpaper №2 [Main photoshoot: Albedo]

Continuation of the previous post.

Albedo, in the process, became a bit complicated project. Reason is very simple. Our model has very unusual body proportions and skin type (can't come up with proper word), I rarely met in my retoucher experience.
Also, we needed to hold wings by ourselves behind the model (on nude photos). So, I needed to erase us.
Can't say it was hard, but I spent a lot more time, than was planned on each photo. It is just upsetting, because I really wanted t...

Reward phone wallpaper №1 [Lingerie Special: Celestial]

Hello, my Sweethearts!
Today is the wonderful day. Day, when I finally sent rewards and will say nice things to my Friends here. )
Lingerie Special with boldly pretentious name "Celestial" was unexpectedly hard photoshoot on post-production. Not on technical side, but more on inner-feel side. Imagine, you are working on the project, it goes pretty well, but no matter how smooth it goes, you just don't like results. This is what happened to Tao. I saw him redoing one photo from scratch 2...

Albedo sexy side reveal! [Main photoshoot]

Hello my Sweethearts!
We are getting closer to Reward's day. About 75-80% of project is done at the moment of writing this post. Which means, we are very close to the finishing line.
I think, few more days and I'll be able to make your weekend brighter. )

I was thinking hard on what sexy photo to share, before going in "crunch mode". Image, that will expose the best side of our Albedo.
Key word for this project will be "Cleanliness". Starting from color choice of the interior,...

"Celestial" lingerie Special first look!

Hello my Sweethearts!
Time to finally share with what Special will await you in March's Reward. We like to come up with "Cheesy and over the top" names for our projects. This Special wasn't an exception.
Please, meet our  "Celestial" Special.
There were another name "Saint Patron", but it was a bit too much. )
Photoshoot has angelic warm vibe inspired by japanese "funny" journals photoscans, which our Tao like very much If you saw one of them, you might understand, what I mea...

Emotional Albedo. [Sexy face]

My Sweethearts!
I'm not done. As you noticed, I'm trying to be more public these days on my Patreon and overall. So, my last two posts were public. But this post, is only for you )
One of my Friend here, once again noted me, that we don't have any normal advertisment of our activities and projects. I appreciate it, because that means you care so much for us.
I'm very grateful to all of you, who write me personally and share so much warm words of support.
Wish I had more time to re...

New progress update on Albedo!

Hello my Sweethearts!
As was promised, I'm sharing with fresh update on our Albedo photoshoot.
I really like this image. When I watch it in 8k resolution...ahhh, looks so great. Perfect word for it is "Posh". I wasn't so happy about results for a long time, since Ashe photoshoot.
In one of my old posts, I shared thoughts on how process of image selection goes. Starting from pre-production stage till the post production stage.
I'll try to explain it in short for my Friends, who are...

Albedo first look! [Main photoshoot | Overlord]

Hello my Sweethearts!
Time to share first look of our Main project - Albedo from Overlord. )

Personally I like, how first finished images are turning out. Even so, real final look usually gets formed after half of chosen photos are ready. Can't say, you might see that much of a difference, because changes are really small.
For example, I have reimported this image 3rd time already (only today), before finally deciding to share it with you. )
So, yeah, I'm that kind of ineffici...

Main photoshoot backstage preview! [Overlord Albedo]

Hello my Sweethearts!
As you might know from Discord, we held photoshoot on Sunday. Tao wanted to make our Discord channel a bit more useful, because most of the time it stays quite and abandoned.
Both of us, just don't get it how to make it interesting place. )
So, we agreed on ,whoever will be near the phone should share our progress on set. And maybe, try some fun interactives.
It was really intetresting to recieve "live" feedback. Only thing, it is possible and not that hard, ...

I'm back!

Hello, my Sweethearts!
I arrived from my small trip. It took a lot of physical and mental strength, but at least was successful. Small aid, that will help us (I hope) in near future.
I haven't got any opportunity to write posts or any updates, while on trip, and it irritated me very much. Who likes to stop his work, when you need to work harder? )
Few things, I, once again, find out about myself during the trip.
I don't like to travel by train. On first night in train, there was p...

March's "main" and "special" project announcement! [Overlord | Albedo]

Hello my Sweethearts!
Dzikan is here. Yes, I finally came back after small pause. Can't say, that I recovered, but it wasn't possible for me to stay away from work for too long. Even so, I took myself away from most internet activity, I still was coming back time to time.
I'm trying to relax my mind from constant stress, but at this point of time, I'm too deep in all this.
I want to personally thank every my Friend, who shared words of support and love to me. I read every message a...

Reward phone wallpaper №2 [Nezuko Kamado]

One last reward post, my Bros.
Forgot to tell it previously, but if my messages to you weren't consistent (or making sense) and I forgot to add something related to your reward, please don't be mad.
We didn't sleep whole night to get everything done, so my mind is a bit blank time to time. )

By the way. Information to our friends, who get full photoshoots as part of their reward. We'll add 1 or 2 photos in project's folder on google disk. It'll drop randomly, because Dzikan forge...

Reward phone wallpaper №1 [Hidden Treasure pt.4]

Hi Bros!
Great news, we finally did it. Finished with February's rewards! )
Messages with them were already sent to you, and I hope, you'll like them.
As you see, part of your rewards, are "Hidden Tresures pt.4". It mostly consists of Dark Queen project (and a little bit from A2), but later there will be added few photos from other. (or others)
We were looking for photoshoots, which had least photos at this moment of time. There isn't much of them, but as exchange we made more pho...

Reward's progress! [Nezuko Kamado]

Hi Bros!
Post will be short, because I need to get back quick to work.
I hope, first day of working week is going or went easy for you. Mondays are always pain in the ass after good weekend. )

Current status. We have a lot of good shots ready, but whole amount isn't enough in our opinion right now. We'll definately need few days to accumulate more, and we'll do our best to make it happen faster with a lot of great images.
Also, at this moment of time we are negotiating our Mar...

All levels upgrade official announcement!

Hi Bros!
First of all, we want to congratulate you on the arrival of spring. We did it!
I hope, starting from this day, many good changes will start to happen. If last year we started our long "home" journey, this year we might start to go on "real" journey. Finally freely meet up with our friends from different countries.

In our last messages to you, we wrote about Tier changes. And they are already working. Only thing, that wasn't done until now, is official tier upgrade announ...

Nezuko's charm side! [Main project]

Hi Bros!
Time slowly (nah, very fast) is coming to the Reward day. Actually, at this moment of time, both of us are not sure about exact finishing day. Even so, we decided to take things go a bit slow (for reasons you know), February is still the shortest month of the year and , no matter what you want, you still need to hurry. Or try to hurry.

On the good side. February gave us a lot of updates on future projects! It is really big news to us, because when you plan in long term, it ...

Nezuko first look! [Main photoshoot]

Hi Bros!
It was hard to choose on topic for this post, because there are few themes, that I need to write and talk about.
But after I saw several finished photos from Nezuko photoshoot, decision was made by itself naturally. And I just think, you are curious how things are going right now. )
So, here is first look on Nezuko.

I like this shot for few reasons.
Model we chose to try as Nezuko, previously featured as Ashe, which was great pick for the character. This model is ...

February main project! [Demon Slayer: Nezuko]

Hi Bros!
February project is finally revealed. Yes, the most popular and financially successfull manga/anime title right now in Japan. By the way, new season was announced and will come out this year. First season was visual masterpiece, that's why I hope second season will be on the same level.
All that means, we, somehow, are finally making something currently in trend. Never we were on time (Bowsette as example), so this is really unexpected.

Ok, let's be honest with Nezuko pr...

Sensual hero [Video]

Hi Bros!
Tao is here. Dzikan is still in "hybernation", but already working hard.
I, too, take a small break before getting in full working mode. Actually, we started our activity day after January rewards were sent, but workload was so big, there was barely time to write back and make posts.
We were asked to shoot few side projects and in near future we'll try to share results with you. )
In next post, I'll share with long awaited reward updates and ofcourse our project for Febr...

Reward phone wallpaper №2 [Erotic Superheros: Batman]

Batman photoshoot holds title of "the first project shot on new camera".
That's why it may contain weird angles. Because now we have rotatable screen!

Fun fact from Batman photoshoot: Our camera has "Auto-Focus on Eyes" function, which means camera track human eyes and focus on them. It can track animal eyes too by the way. )
Super cool function. I wet my pants from excitment, when first tried it. But!
As you see, we colored model's eyes with black holi paint. Starting from th...

Reward phonew allpaper №1 [Special: Goddess Incarnation]

Hi Bros!
This is Tao, or discount Dzikan, or emergency Dzikan, or second photographer, or your Bro from Russia.
Choose what you like more. )

As I wrote in messages to you, our Dzikan needs small rest, and right now is not able to greet and be greeted. This kind of situations happen to even the strogest among us.
Depression can be dangerous, so seeing her in this state, makes me ask you to take proper
care of yourself. No matter how mighty you are. Pinky promise Bros!

Lingerie Special first look reveal!

Hello my Sweethearts!
At first, I wanted to share with small production story from Batman project. But, as the time went, and closer we are to finishing line, I decided it'll be better to show you something more exciting. Our Lingerie Special, which I haven't introduced yet. )
The name is "Goddes Incarnation". First "Special" project, that might become expandable idea vise. I won't say more for now, I think you'll figure out the concept from the project's title.

Main points for t...
