Keep the photos coming.
Re: Aylen wants to go outside - WM 170H
Thanks Panther! I figured the glasses would be a nice touch. I definitely am buying a set or 2 of MannequinFan eyes, after seeing them on your Anastasia, what a difference plus the standard WM eyes are a pain in the ass to move. I will definitely keep shooting, we have nice, sunny weather coming towards the weekend so I am planning out some outfits and locations for Aylen.Panther68 wrote:Terabyte, those photos look great. By putting the aviator glasses on our dolls, they totally look real. It hides the "Uncanny Valley" eyes. All you need is a pair of MannequinFan eyes, so she can look in different directions for a more realistic look. They are hard to come by, but well worth it. Wish I had got 2 sets, when I got Anastasia's set.
Keep the photos coming.

I think Aylen really enjoys being outside, she looks like she's having a great time.
I like the little details, like the shades on the picnic table where she just put them down.
Looking forward to seeing some more shots like these.

On another note, what is her shoe size. Anastasia, a 168E WM is a size 5 US is Aylen the same?
Re: Aylen wants to go outside - WM 170H
PaulDenton2001 - Thanks, I'm getting more comfy taking her outside to shoot her.
Djcdoll - thanks! She definitely enjoys it, can't beat that natural light! The sunglasses on the table sold me on selecting that shot to edit. Definitely more coming!
Zippy - Thanks, trying everything!
Avante - Thank you! I love those jeans they are super stretchy and fit perfectly. Glad to hear it on those page 2 shots. She definitely can pass for real person to someone passing by, lol.
Panther68 - thank you, this is your fault, you got me started with the outdoor photos, lol. Yea, I have become the hand cleaning expert, I have been shopping for gloves for her to cut down on the dirt collection. I definitely will keep shooting, more sets coming.
Aylen is same size as Anastasia, size 5, although I have seen 4.5 as a possibility.
Re: Aylen wants to go outside - WM 170H
No luck.... Legs and knees were all over the place and kept buckling. Mind you it 80+ degrees outside.
So I say screw it and pick her up and carry her to the nearest bench before the bridge and fix her up so she doesn't look like a drunk college girl. Grab some stuff I need and head back over to her. There is a post at start of the bridge so I decide to fix her legs, pick her up and lean her against the post. Well that didn't work out either, she buckled and fell to the concrete, no damage, just all the dirt on the ground is now stuck to her legs, thighs, and butt. Meanwhile there is 2 service workers at the other end of the bridge watching all of this either laughing or wondering WTF am I doing. Got her all cleaned up, legs fixed, picked her up and propped her against the wood fencing. At this point I am tired and sweating. Cleaned Aylen some more and started in on pics. Extreme sunlight didn't help, I need a ND filter badly. I made do working with the shadows.
At the other end of the bridge I seen an older lady walking towards my direction and she is fiddling with her phone, by the time she gets to me she is having a convo, but manages to stop, look, and say "wow, wasn't expecting that!", tell her caller that there is a guy taking a picture of a large mannequin. About 5 min later, I notice a police truck behind my suv, cop gets out slowly walks towards Aylen and I. Kinda smiling, I was cleaning her legs, and had my camera gear on the ground next to me. He walks up, says hi, shakes my hand and introduces himself and laughs "You don't see this everyday, I was driving by and I noticed your model. She looks real!!!" I tell him its a mannequin photo doll, he is just staring at Aylen like he is star struck. We chat a bit more, I give him my photo business card, he is really amazed and has never seen anything like her. Noticed her boobs and said "she is a bit top heavy!" tell me to have a great holiday weekend and takes off. 5 min later again, he pulls up with his partner and I can hear him from the road. He calls me, "hey do you mind if I show my partner, I told him and he doesn't believe it". I wave to him to come on down. His partner same thing, shake hands and everything and he is in sheer amazement. 1st cop ask me "do you mind if we get a picture?" I tell him no problem at all, just don't knock her over. They both take selfies, I tell them about my story with the cop by my house, we all laugh, they tell me to have a nice holiday weekend and they take off. Older lady comes back across and sure enough I see her snap a pic of Aylen with her phone, lol. Long intro over......a few pics:
Re: Aylen wants to go outside - WM 170H
Also a really good backstory to go with the photoset. It sounds like you have had a hard day with Aylen.
I found it tough and hard work moving and posing my Tiffany in the hot sunshine even in my backyard so it must have been 10x harder for you.
Luckily the cops were okay with you taking photos of Aylen. You and Aylen are probably the main talking point down at the police station now!
