The Smirk

"Shh... I'll let you in a secret."

While Loki was taking a nap, I took out my camera and extension tubes and started snapping photos of some of my big dolls. There were quite a few, so I'll divide them into few posts, so bear with me while there is this sudden flow of tight close-ups! :D And I'm posting these snaps of Fyrd first, although he wasn't even the first doll I grabbed.

"Hmmm? But are you really worthy of my secret?"

These photos were taken with my 50mm Taku at f2.8 mostly, with 10mm extension tube. With some photos I used a gaussian blurred layer to smooth out his hair better, but otherwise it was mainly minor contrast/ colour corrections.

Do you remember my old site banner? And well, my avatar pretty much all ober the web? It was from a photo of Fyrd, cropped just below the eyes, showing just the grin he has. The original photo was from the time of his old face-up and for a while now I have wanted to retake it with the new face-up. Here it finally is:

"Look into my eyes and I'll tell you..."

There are other changes as well to the previous photo. This time Fyrd is wearing his longer fur wig and a different shirt. But the smirk is the same >:3

"Ping! You are hypnotised! Whahaha!"

Of course, my little Chaos God can look dangerous even with his eyes (or eye) showing.

"Little? Who are you calling 'little'? Where us this little god you speak of?"

But from certain angles he can look rather sweet. The default look of Demetri's sculpt is actually very sweet and he is supposed to be somewhat of an absent-minded aristocrat who is good at heart. Does not resemble Fyrd at all! XD But the sculpt does work out for the smirky grin too, which was good for me.

He looks so adorable in the photo above! A real sweetheart ~♡

"You really thought I could be sweet?"

Yeah, he facepalmed at my endearing thoughts... :D
