Sydney/Brisbane Trips - Shoots available

Yo . . . . now I may be looking to organise a trip to both around July/August-ish to do some cos shooting, no plans to attend any conventions as yet . . . . . if anyone is interested in shooting with me, unless I've already contacted you, there would be a fee of $110 (inc GST YES everything I do goes through the tax office) to shoot with me, you'll be given 1.5 hours minimum with me, doesn't matter if its a group or individual/pairs etc, a full proof gallery on my return home and a choice of up to 5 fully post processed photos . . . . you can have more images but they wont be fluffy and nice. If I've contacted you to organise a shoot I do not expect payment

Conditions :-
- be on time
- no photoshopping of my pictures, ever
- $50 booking fee required non refundable if you change your mind . . . obviously I just have the feelers out for now and no date set, so I'm not expecting $$$ until then

I'll look to come for say at least a weekend to start with but if lots of peeps want to appoint my services then I'll look at staying longer to accommodate . . . . basically every day I spend away from home costs me many dollars, so I'm not looking to make big bucks here but I want expenses covered if I'm staying extra time.

So send me a msg or here or FB and we'll go from there

Animania Mini

I was in Sydney this weekend not for the convention but the original plans fell through and I found myself deciding at the last minute that I'd go along to Mini, I hadn't been before. It certainly was small and I think the price tag is a little too high but it was still fun going.

I didn't do too many shoots but I shot with the following peeps and had a great time.

First pics are up, now to sort through the rest

Gold Coast Nova - Shoots Free etc blah :P

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 4, 2012, 7:37 PM

Nearly there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick update/reminder that I'll be at Supanova next weekend at the Gold Coast.

As mentioned prior anyone who wants a shoot during the con, I'll be happy to give you a mini shoot free of charge

I'll PM those who put their name down my mobile number, anyone else who is interested send me a message on facebook if you have me there or on here.

If you want to shoot outside of the con and have an hour or so with me you'll have to give me mulla, unless I've approached you to do a shoot of your costume, in which case, free

Mini shoot interest

Film Clip

I've started to pick my songs for videos for Supanova AND I WANT SUPERSTARS PLEASE!!!!!! It won't be done necessarily in Day 1, 2, 3 like before we'll see.

Anyone who wants to mime, dance, act like a douche, leave a comment!!!

1st video . . . . .

Anyone who's planning to cosplay meme characters like anonymous, trolls, etc (even if you are just going to have a paper mask) You will play the part of having the upperhand and the opposite

I'd also like certain cosplays to match some lyrics. . . . . I don't have to get one of every type but I certainly wont complain if I do as that will make the first video I have in mind flow perfectly. I don't expect to match too many but it would be great to get a couple.

- tsundere
- clumsy/unpopular (these people must be willing to not take themselves to seriously)
- messy/late/deshevelled type character
- bishi bishi . . . . I need a utapri/fabulous type male cosplay (crossplay is ok if it's too hard), again willing to not take themselves to seriously and be FABULOUS
- any couple cosplay - I don't mean couples/canon pairings from any series
- characters that try to be funny in their series but end up making others feel awkward
- any female characters with bad attention spans that don't listen to the other characters in the series' (a boy to do a facepalm who matches the series would be wonderful too)

I'm sure I'll think of more, but for now, just throwing that around to see if anyone is keen . . . . you wouldn't have to do much, a pout and twirl for tsundere, stumbling while running for late character, walking into something for the clumsy or dropping things . . . . etc etc . . . . you get the idea!

Gold Coast Supanova

I didn't realise this was so close (April) so I'm going to go to Gold Coast Supanova instead as I've been media in the past and probs will again I can't charge for shoots at the convention so I'll be doing some free shoots instead.

I'm thinking 15-20min blocks might suit, so if any of you are interested post a comment and let me know and I'll pencil you in. I'll go to preview night on the Fri, Sat and Sun. I'm also trying to get a group together to stay at Jupiters as it works out about $90 each per night for a room worth $450 . . . . and it's 7 mins walk from the venue, let me know if you are interested.

I'll be doing video at the con as well, I usually do one or the other but I'll go for both this time, fun funz!! If you want to be featured in the video then again, leave a comment and we'll work it out. Not sure what the venue is like at Gold Coast but I'm hoping we can get some nice footage. I'm totally in envy of acksonl who gets to do videos at the most beautiful locations . . . . dem venues!!!

Feature Winner

Congrats to

, you won the feature subscription, I used an online random number generator, easy peasy.

Now upload some deviations and enjoy the journal layout funz!

40 000 kiriban coming up - Capture for subscription

I'm feeling pretty generous and I just scored a full time job that will take me up a few pay grades and give me some more meaningful tasks, so I'm stoked about that. Capture my 40 000 for a 12 month subscription and you naughty person that uses a script to blow my pageviews up so you can get it, don't . . . . . you know who you are.

Armed with a new (working) imac, working eyes and a nice workstation setup, I'm on the rampage through my backlogged photoshoots so prepare for lots of deviations while I attempt to get on top of it all.

Sydney Trip Wrap up - Membership Giveaway

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 13, 2011, 3:46 AM

Wrap up - 8.12.11

What a hectic 5 days in Sydney!!!! So many photos to go through and a video to edit! I have a new pooter and new eyes now so I can start to catchup on my backlog as my bad eye was keeping me from my extended editing sessions . . . . so finally I can get into it properly.

Membership Giveaway
No one captured the 30 000 kiriban so I'm going to have a feature journal soon and pick someone at random to receive a 12 month membership as dA has the deal on at the moment and I have to buy one soonish anyway! I'll do that in the next day or two

Bye Sydney *waves*

Update 2 - 29.11.11

Paid shoot slots still workable although I've only got room for a couple more.

If you have something you think I'd like to shoot (most of you know my fandoms) let me know and I may shoot them for free . . . . may . . .

OK, rough schedule so far:-
Thu 1st Dec - arriving after lunch
Fri 2nd Dec - Shoot 10am (2hours)
Sat 3rd Dec - Shoot 10am (1 hour), Cosplay Exhibition 1pm - 5pm - Powerhouse Museum
Sun 4th Dec - Shoot afternoon/night (2 hours), nighttime Cosplay Music Video
Mon 5th Dec - leaving after lunch

Photographers that want to have shooting playtime/learnings, I'll send you messages on FB to see what your movements are over those dates. If you haven't already shown interest then reply on this journal or send me a dA note.

Anyone who wants my mobile number, send me a dA note or FB message ^___^

Update 1 - 18.11.11

Okies, so far we have:-

- 8 different paid shoots showing interest with 3 of them as definite
- 3 offers for making a cosplay music video (free LOL)
- 4 offers of people who want to help out at shoots
- 2 offers of people who want to learn/shoot with me

So without further ado, I'm going to start allocating times and brackets depending on people's availability so if there's anyone else interested, let me know soonish. The 8 shoots showing interest may not all necessarily go ahead

For the music video ideas, keep them coming in. Seeing as I'm doing the for funz and not moneyz then I'll still be choosing an idea out of the proposals

For helpers, I'm still happy if people want to offer, I can never have too many as some of the people who've offered may need to work at shorter notice.

Hello Sydney

I've had a really odd weekend. Amongst other things, on Friday after raising an issue at my new job (been there for 6 weeks), a brick wall was hit where neither party was willing to compromise so I decided to quit. Last time I quit a job I had a trip to Sydney a week later (which was planned anyway, unlike the resignation) and it was just what the doctor ordered so I decided yesterday after contacting my lovely accommodation hosts that I'm going to do the same again.

I will be there from Thurs 1st Dec to Mon 5th Dec. If there's anyone interested in commissioning me for some shoots see below, if not, I'm coming anyway for holiday funz.

Shoots/Prices/Terms

Same prices as last time but GST now as I properly registered with our friends at the ATO at the beginning of this year and completely forgot about GST during my last trip there, fail.

$55 for an hour, or $88 for 2 hours anywhere in the city is fine, if you want to go out of the city, contact me with your plan and we'll talk shop as I would charge extra if you need me traipsing across the countryside. You could take a costume change also if you like (if you can change within the time bracket!), shooting more than one costume is fun and a bit more challenging for me

Last time I took 50% payment before I came down with Paypal or bank deposit and took the other 50% when I did the shoot. If you cancel the shoot you loose the 50%. No one cancelled last time which was really cool, yay

The other important condition is that if you aren't ready or are late, it cuts into the bracket booked

If you haven't shot with me before, bring a friend, you'll feel more comfortable and having someone who knows you that can tend to your costume, help carry things for you and keep you feeling relaxed is a big bonus. I always appreciate a second set of eyes and hands on a shoot too!

Cosplay Music Video

I'm keen to do another one of these. This is involving no monies, although I'd be grateful for a lunch or a drink if you are feeling gracious. If an individual or group is interested, could you let me know and I'll pick something from the different proposals if I get some.

Comedy is a preference but not a requirement, although if you are thinking comedy the benchmark has been set by the funny catty/rosy duo and it's been set really high if you are up for the challenge! If you haven't seen any of the vids, they are here . . . . [link] . . . . be warned though, you aren't getting acksonl, my camera work will never be as smooth as his with my current setup so you get what you get

Availability

This one is tricky as there's some things I want to do while I'm there, but I'll play that by ear and gauge it on the interest for the time being.

Stuff

Some of you know I quit my job in June and have been doing pretty much nothing for 3 months except photography and I've LOVED it . . . . I did start a new casual job last week so I'll be working 1-2 days a week there and as I've been doing more paid photography locally of late, I can continue to concentrate on that without my day job interfering too much . . . . yay, balance!!

New Video - FLCL Photoshoot Behind the Scenes

Journal Entry: Thu Jun 23, 2011, 4:26 AM

FLCL photoshoot video up!

**edit sorry stuffed up the journal title**
Sadly, I didn't get to do this with my shoots in Sydney except for this one as there was a lot of prep time so I had time to play with video while I was waiting!!! I have a spoof video I did that will go up later but that one requires a lot of hard work editing so that will be delayed for the time being, for now enjoy this one!

2nd fanvid is up from the convention - Friday night

And another, this time from Friday!!!

There's only a small amount of cosplayers on Friday's, hence not as much variety as my Saturday video.

The Saturday video is here if you want to watch

Cosplay fanvideo yaaaaaay

I'm drowning and severely overloaded by photos from the Sydney trip so I took a few hours out to do a mindless mesh of some of the footage I captured at the convention. I have many more videos to make but will concentrate on photos for the next few days until I make some decent progress there and then go back to videos. I just needed a little break from them.

If you were given a card or posed for me on any of the three days of the con, you will be featured in another video, I just couldn't feature everyone at once!! Keep posted or subscribe to the youtube channel. There's another 4 at least to come and also some videos will go up that weren't shot at the convention but were of cosplayers!!!

Supanova Permission & Timetable Updated

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 14, 2011, 9:38 AM

Permission obtained

I have permission to shoot and charge at Supanova from them directly but seriously I probably wont be booking any shoots anyway unless people really really want to do them. I do have something I need to be doing during the con anyway and I'm happy with the paid shoots I've done and am yet to still do. If I was just coming down just for the con then sure, but anyone who really really wants to shoot with me would have already contacted me as it's better to pick a time and location that suits your cosplay than to just deal with the locations at the con itself. At least this is what I figure anyway! But still if you really want to then let me know ^__^ You'll see me rocking past the line like a boss as I have a media pass, woohoo! I'll be asking lots of randoms for shots so be prepared for my (sometimes) stomach curdling enthusiasm.

Loving all the shoots so far if you haven't gathered that yet from the deviations and more to come!!!

Charging or no?

I've been asked by some if I'll shoot at Supanova for a fee. I can't say yes or no to this yet (sorry) because I need to ask the organisers if they think this is appropriate or not. I'll update my journal once I have an answer from them. In all honesty, I expect them to say no.

Sadly I've been threatened by someone in the community that they will make a phone call to Daniel at Supanova tomorrow and tell him about me, despite the fact that I haven't actually advertised or made a call out for Supanova shots, only for days either side. We only chatted about whether it's right or wrong and I said it's up to the organisers of the con to make that call. This is now out of my control as to what that person does or doesn't do but I'll update again soon at least with what the organisers tell me ^__^

Sydney Trip - Now extending trip, staying 10 days woohoo!

Hey all, I'm now staying an extra week and will be coming to Supanova, I will be in Sydney from Fri 10/6/11 - Mon 20/6/11 and are happy to shoot during the week for those interested in shoots that week before the convention, prices see below but if you have projects that you think I would take a keen interest in, please let me know, I don't charge for that sort of thing!

Update 2
I have 4 groups booked already, so let me know if you are interested! One group has me booked for 4 hours. I'm planning at this stage to be in Sydney early Friday morning and leave mid Monday morning. See prices below.

Really looking forward to it!! ^___^

Update 1
I'm off to Sydney in the June long weekend and I need to be there for Friday 10th & Saturday 11th June. That Monday is a public holiday and I'd REALLY like to stay a few days either side of the Fri/Sat to do shoots but I would have to take unpaid leave from my job to do so. If there's anyone interested in commissioning me for some shoots I'd be happy to go for $50 for an hour, or $80 for 2 hours and most likely I'd go overtime with you anyway, that's how I roll! You could take a costume change also if you like, I'm more than happy to shoot more than one costume, I'd actually prefer it.

I don't know if there will be any interest but I thought I'd put it out there! Otherwise I'll just go for the Fri/Sat ^____^

Charging for shoots

I have mentioned in a previous journal if I ever approach you for shoots I will not expect payment ^__^ Also if you happen to be cosplaying a character that I adore, same applies. If you think you may have a costume that I would be interested in shooting, you could always send me a note and I'll let you know!

30 000 Kiriban

I seem to miss when my kiriban's come up so this time I'll have a contest for the person who screencaps it. You'll get a 3 month premium subscription!

20 000 kiriban

Caught by

Man I am slow to do this! I'll feature you for the next few weeks!

400th watcher feature!

Thank you to

who just added me to his devwatch, here's a feature for you!

Lens sold

*** SOLD ***
My Canon 24-105mm EF L series lens is for sale, free postage (in Oz) and no reserve, I want to fund some new glass ^__^ It's only been used 3 times maybe, perfect condition.

My Absence

mmmm.....8 weeks! For those of you who don't already know, I've had ongoing pain in both hands from RSI which limited my computer usage. It's now finally better after weeks of acupuncture, exercises, buying a vertical mouse and getting a better graphics tablet (INTUOS4, I'm sooooo glad I decided to wait until December to do my tax return).

So here we are, uploads starting again and I can start working through older sets!

Photoshoot Processing Progress

Finished the Griffith mini shoot and Full Metal Panic shoot. Be patient with me, I've only just been able to start working on sets again!

Brisbane Photoshoots

OMG I'm stuffed, 1500 shots today (on top of another 1000 yesterday for a wedding).

Aside from getting a $100 parking fine and getting lost multiple times (lol Ipswich freeway wtf?) , it was awesome and had a great time. I shot today three separate shoots!

1. Full Metal Panic group with:-

as Kaname, school uniform & hot pants army version

as Tessa, Mithril uniform & also hot pants army version

as Sagara, school uniform and alternate version to go with the army girls

2. Mixed shoot with:-

as Enma from Jigoku Shōjo (kimono version) and Yuko from xxxHolic

as Anko from Naruto & CC from Code Geass (artbook version)

3. Eternal Sonata

as Count Waltz of Forte

All the shots went well with some lovely pictures in all. They were all fun and everyone was great to work with! Thank you to

for walking me back through fail trail to my car as I didn't know the street I parked in LOL and big thanks to

for making the best sandwiches in the world . . . . . and for all the drinks and entry fees that you guys shouted me, much appreciated!!!

Special credits go to the above mentioned 4 who painstakingly went through a long process of preparing for a concept artbook shot that

wanted to do which involved tieing countless pieces of string to her, the walls, both lighting stands, the tripod and the chairs.

lied on her back in a inhuman position whilst all this was tied on her and didn't move!! A job well done by all!

There will be a slight delay getting the sets to you all as I have to process the wedding photos first but I'll try to post a few here on dA over the next few weeks anyway.

I head home tomorrow, bye Brisbane, see you again!

Brisbane Trip

Sat Oct 2, 2010, 11:56 PM

Slots full

I have three groups now that I'm shooting for on Sunday, I'll post all the details when I get back, I'm away until Tuesday if I don't reply to any messages, you'll know why!

Update - Brisbane

Hi all, last call for interested parties, I've already got more requests than I can fill but as I said in the previous journal, I'll be choosing based on what's interesting/challenging to me so if anyone else is interested, let me know and then I'll choose in a few days time! Looking forward to it ^__^

Brisbane

Heeeeeelo Brisvegas! A rather 'normal' family event has me landing in Brisbane on Friday 15th October. I'll be available on Sunday 17th October to do photoshoots! I could probably do someone/somegroup in the morning and also in the afternoon, I may even do a night shoot if I'm not feeling completely owned.

If you could note me with your interest please? Please specify the costume (version, character name and series) Also, can you throw me some ideas you have in mind for a location? You'll need also to bring a friend or three, I'll need at least one helper. If you have a concept shot or two in mind, let me know and link me to the picture, I do love recreates, just not too many!

Depending on the response I'll probably choose depending on what contains the costume/character and location that is the most interesting to me! So get thinking and get noting!

Art/Photo Theft

I'm in the process of reuploading deviations with a watermark on them instead of below, I'm sorry it sucks and looks lame and I prefer not to, but this image has been uploaded onto a German site with the person claiming to be the Hope in the picture. The person who stole it could have just cropped my image but instead left the black bar down the bottom and just blacked out my copyright info and left the 'Cosplay' writing in the 'Cosplay by Gen-tou.deviantart.com'. So much fail.

The Hope in the pic is clearly a member of

and is most definitely Australian, not German.

Here's the screencap, I'll investigate the best I can! I can't speak German but I'm seeing if I can get any more info.
Thank you to

for finding this!

Cosplay Gen Article - Animania

Just a small article with some piccies in it done for the

magazine! It was fun shooting throughout the convention knowing I'd be submitting picture for the article, I hope to do it again for the next convention I attend!

Photoshoot - Gentou FFXIII - Cockatoo Island 15.9.10

Went to this island today with

, I've never been to this place, it was pretty cool! We didn't have a lot of time there to muck around once we did a few concept shoots we were somewhat short, will upload when I can but we got some nice piccies!

Photoshoot - Asham - Eternal Sonata @ Town Hall 14.9.10

's shoot was fated with shitty rain so the locations we had were somewhat limited so was our time! We still got some great shots though and did the shoot in Town Hall, as with the others I'll be slowly sifting through and uploading in time!

Photoshoot - RG Veda - Chinese Gardens 13.9.10

Had epic time today photographing

and their wonderful group (I'll be adding your icons as I slowly go through my notes to get all your usernames!)

Joined by a bunch of photographers including

*fangirl squeeeee*, it was heaps of fun and guys, I took over 500 photos, so please bear with me guys while I delete the lighting test shots and sift through the actual shots, I'll be doing up some proof sheets for you to peruse and choose (ack cheesy rhyming) and we'll go from there.

Thank you for your patience and holding your poses for SO LONG each concept shot. This girls were in some incredibly uncomfortable and difficult poses and mostly under HOT sun, I can't believe how long your can hold your facial expressions for, this makes my job incredible easy, thank you! I hope you like yours shots as much as I do and can't wait to get in and start editing them!

Shooting again Tues and Wed, home Thurs and I'll start to edit the Animania and subsequent shoots after returning.

Animania & Photoshoots

OMG, don't have time to do a full write up of the convention but thanks to all the cosplayers that posed for me, I've taken over 1300 pictures *dies* and I still have multiple shoots to do until I leave Sydney and head home. I'm going to upload a picture I took yesterday of

for now as he asked me to edit it, which I did late last night!

To all those who I took photos of that want their photo, I may not upload them all so could you please send an email to fiathriel[at]gmail.com with the name and description of your costume and I'll send it to you.

Comment feature full

Seeing as my 15 000 kiriban was captured by the same person that captured my 13 000 I didn't think it fair to feature them just by themselves, so I've featured the first 10 people to comment! Enjoy and check out the galleries of these amazing cosplayers, photographers and artists!!!

Cosplay Calendar

I'm proud to have my photo chosen for the calendar cover which will be for sale at Animania this year. It's this piccy of our lovely WCS representatives this year:-

A big thanks to

who made this photo come to life with his extra lights, assistance and also for his critique during my post processing on it. I think he was shown about 7 versions over the course of an entire night!! The calendar contains some of the finest work for our cosplayers and photographers, please support it and include it in your bling shopping!

Animainia & Photoshoots

To all budding cosplayers and potential lens victims! I'm down from Fri 10 - Thur 17th and will be at the convention both days. I've been overwhelmed with requests for photoshoots and I just can't fit them all it so I have to prioritise!

Priority 1 - Time
I have a bit to do over the course of the week and at the convention. I'll be at the doll panel and I think there's a prize presentation as my doll shop is sponsoring one of the competitions. I also have multiple shoots already booked outside of the con, so time is an issue, but there still is some free time mixed in there!

Priority 2 - Money
For every day I'm there it costs me hundreds with time off work, accommodation etc (I live 600km away) so compensation is a nice thing, not to mention the $10 000 worth of camera gear that's strapped to my back! It's nice to be paid but there's a TONNE of situations where it doesn't apply, just so you don't get scared off.

At the convention - Come and ask for photos! Or I'll be asking you, one or the other . . . and also, if you want 10 minutes to muck around and take some proper shots instead of while you are in the middle of shopping and eating LOL, then ask me, I'm always keen for that
Friends - need I say more ^__^
Relevance - if you are cosplaying Tieria, I pay you in gold bullion, jokes . . . . if the costume or series is a big fave of mine I'm going to want to do a private shoot or a side shoot, after all, I'm an otaku before I'm a photographer or is it I'm a fangirl before I'm an otaku?
Newbies & leftouts - sometimes it's who you know and if you haven't had the privilege of working with any of the wonderful photographers on the cosplay scene then I'm keen to offer my services so you can have some nice photos of your cosplay, it's daunting being new to the scene or not knowing too many folks ^__^
Men and nakedness - hahaha jokes . . . or maybe not . . . however, I may tend to prioritise male cosplay for 2 reasons, 1. I don't get to photograph male cosplayers hardly ever, 2. ummm, they are boys?
Personal requests - if I contact you and say "OMG CAN I HAS SHOOT K PLOZ?" then I will be doing it on my own time and I'll be working around you, some of you have costumes that I really want to shoot or you have groups that I'd like to do

Woaaaaaaaah

Inbox is flooding and I'm so overwhelmed at the response on my two newest deviations. Over 3000 views on Hope and only upped it 24 hours ago. Thank you to everyone who faved, commented, added me to devwatch and went and visited this newly formed awesome cosplay group!!! I read all your messages and try to answer all the questions. Thank you to all the groups who have sent me gallery invites!!! Expect to see many more deviations from me and more photoshoots of this group in future. I will eventually do all 6 FFXIII characters on their Eidolons like the Hope deviation.

Daily Deviation & 12 000 kiriban

Fri Jul 2, 2010, 9:11 PM

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

Inbox is flooding and I'm so excited, I got a Daily Deviation for this special fella with a missing front leg and got 2nd place in a macro contest [link] although there was only about 35 entries so it was only a little one!:-

I can't respond to everything but I'm answering any questions I get so please be patient. I usually go and check out galleries of people who favourite a deviation of mine but it's rather overwhelming with almost 900 faves! I still might check out a few! I've altered the description to share I how got the shot. There's 2 more orb's in my garden at the moment but they wont come out during the end of the day like this one did but I'm keeping an eye on them. The Saint Andrew's was all I found worthy tonight, it helps when you don't come home on sunset and start shooting!! Damn jobs and real life!

Now I'm on a spider mission, here's three more I took tonight!

12 000 kiriban captured

Congrats to

who both got my capture

Asham

Yaaaaay . . . . proud to feature my favourite cosplayer and it gives me an excuse to feature her as I've been wanting to for a while anyway! (and remember it's not stalking, it's merely 'observing')

Other deviant's photos of Asham's cosplay

And lastly, self pimping

And nostalgia . . .

Flayrah

Flayrah owns a Souldoll Hye and I love her!!!!

Hair cut

Anyone who knows me knows I've had long hair for . . . . um . . . ever?

In a crazy, "I've got a great idea" spaz, I think about it for a day, and book the hairdressers the next day . . .

I tell him what I want . . . about 12 inches of a certain section and well, he takes 21 inches . . . yes I measured it . .

And yes this is 2 inches short of 2 foot . . . . 2 FOOT . . . what's with hair dressers? I mean he's probably gay so would hardly have hair envy like the female ones do . .

Anyone, despite this, staring at about 4-5 years worth of growth on the floor, I think maybe it'll look ok and I'll get used to it . . . . he did a good job it just looked far too cute, which is NOT what I was going for . . . cute doesn't work for or with me . . .

Anyhow, I've had a play with more product, the straightener and so on and after 8 hours or so it's starting to grow on me (no pun intended) . . . .it looks like Hallelujah's hair (from Gundam 00), just shorter . . . .

Critiques Received

I've very grateful to receive these critiques. If you are looking for something to do check them out and rate them as FAIR or UNFAIR, it would be nice if you could check out the galleries of the people who wrote them too, critiques take time and care to write on DA and people who write them should be supported!!
