Okay, Okay a Photostory

This one is for you, Erica (Corset Kitten)!

This is the first photostory I ever did. It was about 6-7 years ago. I had just figured out how to set the date stamp on the camera but not yet how to remove it. I was living in New York, was massively reclusive had not yet discovered this world of 1/6th realism and hadn't even heard of Fashion Royalty. Oh and uh, I guess I was a bit of a man-hater... (you'll see)

It's cute and embarrassing to see the couch made of the Converse sneaker box, the room boxes made of cardboard boxes. I was and still am, a lover of the cheap and easy.

Okay still working on my little project but I couldn't resist this little diversion.

So click on the picture below to read the story:

    LMAO!
    Oh that's a hoot Dani! And way more cohesive than my first photostory! (here if you want to see how terrible it was....didn't even have thought bubbles!

    I loved it! Witches! I need some Charmed type witches in my doll world.

    Oh, to clarify, I JUST put those pics into Comic Life. They're old photos and I did the dialogue from memory. I started to do the bubbles in Photoshop back then and was quickly like "Screw THIS!"

    I miss having the time to do photostories but I really have to dedicate time to creating realistic sets.

    :D Heheh! That was the first story that launched me into the idea of doing the whole Quinlan Chronicles thing....(my, oh my....what a slippery slope that's turned out to be!)

    Yea, comic life is a million times easier than doing bubbles via PS (I tried that with my first QC episode and I swear I spent more time trying to get the bubbles to work out than actually taking photos or setting up scenes!)

    I hear you about the realistic sets, I really, really do! But keep at it and compromise where you have to along the way (better something than nothing at all IMO!) :D

    You are totally an inspiration when it comes to dolly realism. I mean, come on, it's too awesome! You've gotta be slightly mental, right? But yeah I don't want to slack on doing stories just because things aren't perfect. Nothing would ever get done...

    Bwahahaha!! I can't help but love Aragorn Ken... he's such a sleaze! That 'I'm 1/16th cherokee baby' line actually hurt me as I lol'd so hard!

Introducing Ayumi

By
I haven't been feeling particularly inspired with stories in Grandville, but their plastic lives are being led, with or without my story telling. And I have to practice my photography so instead I'm going to do a Cliff Notes if you will, of what has been going on in Grandville and who all these new characters are. First up, Ayumi. I might give her a new name at some point. I hate keeping the Integrity name but sometimes it just happens. She is a Korean supermodel who uses her funds to support her research as an astrophysicist. She got her Ph.D. at 18. This is Ayumi's house. Well, one of them. This is Ayumi's boyfriend of 10 months, Raj Nirvana. He's a yoga instructor. They have a harmonious relationship. Still, she wonders about that girl Marie. They seem to do a lot of talking after his yoga class. Ayumi loves hanging out with her girls. Nothing quite as fun as a day of shopping. Claire sighs, "How weird to have a bank account. ...

Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends, First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs. Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going. Enjoy: "Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?" "Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."   "Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation." "My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."   "Thanks John. Lavita...

New Goodies!

But first, some news: Projects: Still working on the studio space for Remi and Bailey. The Hubs came in and voiced what was in my head, "So where is that kid supposed to sleep? That's messed up. There's no room for him?"  The last thing I wanted in Grandville is a kid's room. I don't want this rated R world changing into something wholesome. Buuut, if there is to be a custody battle for Julian, I have to make the case, right? So on top of the studio space, I'll build a little room for the brat to use. Maybe I'll give it a fun theme or something. Space or sci-fi or something that doesn't involve sports. I'm also working on a space backdrop for Nymeria and her sister. Then I can finally introduce you. I decided to go with a sort of cheesy 60's sci fi movie thing. That's what inspired the Alurium Vaccarra anyway. So, a sort of intentionally cartoony backdrop. The last project for now is my high school. I wanted it to be a three-...
