Hi-Res shot in the Caterpillar Tier and a bts shot for you guys to see how I did the lighting for this!
All lights were set to a very low power so I could shoot wide open :]
She pulls off this amazing look so well! Hi-Res already in the Caterpillar Tier link for the month :]
And if you guys want to try achieving this lighting, you mainly need a boom high up angled at the wall behind her! And red always pops on black :]

Did some quick shots yesterday with Anna, hope you enjoy the vibes! Everything was shot with natural light :]
Or as she likes to call it, Elf Jesus :P
June is going to be a fun and crazy month! Everyone is going to be prepping for AX and I gotta do lots of pre-shoots (or at least hope too)!
Hope to see you guys there!
Hi-Res will be up in a new monthly link in the Caterpillar Tier!

I will be trying to offer some new merch from the studio when I can and first up, BlackPink enamel pins! I'm a huge kpop fan haha so I had to start with these!

I hope to have more fun things available to you guys, seeing how this goes first! Also, unique and limited prints will be listed there as well!

I love the cloak she has, it has so much texture to it <3
I have one more look with her we did during this same shoot and that will be done soon!
Hi-Res in the Caterpillar Tier!
Working on a few BlackCat images with Maid of Might to have out for you guys soon!
2019-05-27 02:06:44 +0000 UTC View PostMay has been a CRAZY month for me haha. Due to lots of conventions happening this month, the studio has actually had some downtime so I have filled it with more personal shoots this month! I love that I have more images to work with now for you all, BUT NOW I HAVE SO MANY MORE IMAGES TO COMPLETE haha.
In all honesty I am on the job and pumping them out as fast as I can :] I am behind on my Youtube vids because of it though, argh -.-
I am still waiting for my 1st set of enamel pins...

This one totally ended up feeling like an ad of some sorts, maybe for perfume or shampoo or something haha <3
I really love doing moody portraits like this and love using my Parabolix modifiers to help get this kind of lighting!
I don't really use any diffusers with my stuff all too much because I like the more direct, contrasty light I get without them :]
Hi-Res is in the Caterpillar Tier!

Did a few shoots with Hendo last night before she headed up to Fanime! One of the looks was this skin of D.Va from Overwatch's Anniversary event that is currently going on now! We did a schoolgirl D.Va before and she modified it to fit haha :]
This little set turned out adorable so I will try to have a mini set out for this month if I can but I have a huge load of retouch work on my plate right now. Will do my best!

Just got back from a mini vacay in Vegas! Haven't been on vacay in a long while and needed a quick breather haha. Now that I am back and I going to go hard into work mode!
Here is another image of HendoArt in her bunny lingerie look! Shot this in studio with the ledlight wall!
All you need to achieve this look is some kind of reflector in front of the lens, (I used Nier Automata, no joke lol) and some kind of bounce, like a V-Flat!
Hi-res version of this is up in the folder ...

Aelflaed was in town this past weekend so we grabbed a few shots here in the studio!
That above one was shot in front of a canvas backrground for the slight texture! I love canvas bg's for the textures, not sure why so many people are so against using them haha. Best reason was because they use them for school portraits :P
Just don't shoot them like school portraits and you're good to go!
Here is another shot of her in front of the flower wall as well!

Hi-res of this shot will be up later for those in the Caterpillar Tier!
And now to explain a bit on how we did these shots! Below is a bts shot that shows pretty much the entire layout of what we did!
So we shot this on black seamless paper and had a tree prop behind her. For this shot we totally tangled her hair up in the branches, it was a great time had by all trying to get it all back...

Created a fun and amazing set with HendoArt based on art by Niki Vaszi! They can be found on Artstation!
I will have more images, possibly a mini set of these up soon for the Caterpillar Tier but I will post a write-up here when I get a moment on how we achieved these shots! As well as a possible speed edit :3

Hey gang, just wanted to give you guys some info on more stuff I have been working on! I am currently in the process of opening a merch store that will house lots of collab work with different artists and such, to create fun collectibles that I relate to haha, mostly nerd/pop culture!

Right now, I am going to first release a pin set based on Kpop grou...

This shot was taken and done all in my studio, of course, but the coloring/toning was done with the LUTS I created! It is part of a 15 pack of LUTS for use in Photoshop to achieve different looks and feels :]
It is available up on my site if you are interested!
Also, what other kind of things would you guys like to see posted here? I want to try and do the best I can for you all for suppo...
