DOLLS
From all my (and [info]kuuumo's, if you're on her f-list) previous sewing angst, I'm sure many would have guessed that something was afoot. Well, something was. I thereby present you the product:

Here is the third cast capital empire.

The crime studied intensification thoroughly in this country where multinational was confused every year and men of power at time established a certain wicked law ten years ago.
Law that tries the absent suspect for reduction of prison that became immediately before blowout by life in prison without speed up pf trial and releasing on parole introduced very recently, tells execution, and can execute the punishment.

[Rationalization of a trial]
Law that means rationalization of trial and “Rot method” for short.

The execution did not stay by the law in the prison of the court, and if it was the country, the thing freely done became possible.
And, the special force with the authority from the investigation of the condemned of which the death sentence went out to the execution of the punishment was organized by the court.
It is the name. “Special execution Catstom force”
It is alias “Special Punishment”


Total commander of the first force: Shota Mikoshiba. The first force sub-commander: Seiju Shikibu. The first force member: Usaki Todo.


A doll Dolls cosplay photoshoot! Many apologies (not!) for the word pun. XD;; Dolls is this extremely cool series by Naked Ape (same people behind Switch), currently up to book 3, and extremely worth looking at. The shoot features:
[info]kuuumo's F16, Kiku, as Captain Mikoshiba Shota
[info]erushi's F17, Saki, as Vice-Captain Shikibu Seiju
[info]kamimura's School A, Yuuya, as member Todo Usagi Usaki
of Team I of the "Special Punishment" (特刑) force.

For fantastic pictures, please proceed to Fatal Revolution to view [info]kamimura's share, as well as [info]kuuumo's share here

If you don't mind inferior pictures, I have a few more below.

About the last picture? I think their alternative calling may have been those Japanese hosts. XD

You have no idea just how honoured I felt to be able to work with Yuuya and his owner.

Thanks must go out to:
[info]kamimura for allowing Yuuya to complete the team, as well as allowing us to abuse for your fantastic photography and photoshop skills;
[info]averseofmelody for your brilliant art direction and worship-able doll-posing skills;
and last but not least, [info]kuuumo, fellow sewing buddy, the one who dragged me into the Dolls fandom before suggesting the shoot, doing lovely patterning for the coats, and having me overnight at your place, feeding me, and providing late night crack as we simultaneously slaved away at those hellish coats together and got our brains broken.
Thank you! *bows*

Oh yes, we took the pictures at the old Supreme Court. Have I ever mentioned just how much I love that building? Why else do you think I insisted on that place as a venue? Three architectural shots here, for the curious. I should have taken more, but alas. Didn't manage to catch the Lady Justice, any of the reliefs, or any of the lamps. There was a vegetarian stone lion, which you may see in my icon.

I really wish I can shrink that building down to 1/3 size and bring it home. The new Supreme Court looks like some ugly UFO.

-jaw drops- Oh my god, these look amazing! Great job!

Where in the world did you find such small buckles/findings?

Thank you!

The buckles etc can actually be found at our local Chinatown area, which has this building with a lot of cloth and other ding-dang.

I'm so jealous. It's hard to find those things here unless we go to LostChinatown. (I can't speak Chinese and get oh, so lost there.)

I need an opinion. Is it dumb to spend $110 on green gray zouks that Ramon'll probably wear forever? This is what I'm looking at. I think it's slightly cheaper than what people ask for because it's older. Or should I settle for regular glass/wait for the neosiums to pop up in the future cause the color's so common?

If it's slightly cheaper, then I say go for it. Zouks are fantastic, methinks, and since Ramon'll probably wear them forever, you'll get your money well spent. Zouks also have quite a bit of resale value, so even if you choose to sell it, you won't make much of a loss, and might even make a slight profit.

But as you said, since the colour is quite common, and if you can't justify spending so much on a doll, then I say wait for a cheaper one. There are also (I think) far cheaper types with near-Zouks quality, like Enchanted Doll.

This is true, especially since Volks went "RAH, WE'RE ELITES so you can't buy zouks unless you buy an FCS!" I love zouks, I'm sure you do too. They're just beautiful all around.

I'm a glass eye whore though. Everyone's been saying that urethane eyes scratches really easily.

If only I have a steady job, I'll snatch these without even thinking. Thanks for the input <3.

after lookin at kunno's pictures, i think the ruffled hair one (i don't know what's the name .. the one without specs) looks really unique. he looks extremely good close up ... but the furthur shots, he looks less impressive.

and i love saki's hairr! haha. so different from the rest :D

The old Supreme Court looks more like a court. LOL the new one is rather modern. A bit too modern for a court hahaha.

It doesn't even look like a court. I agree with Samuel. It looks like a shopping centre. Or just a UFO. D:

the new supreme court is ugly. looks like a shopping centre. an ugly shopping centre. why can't they just renovate the interior of the old supreme court?

shiny! i like the vague mirroring effect in the 'usaki and shouta' picture, and saki is very cool in the second-last one.

and yes, the new supreme court is hideous. sigh.

Thank you!

And that new supreme court. Haish. I should have taken a photo of it too to contrast with the old and further prove my point. D:

i like the dreamy effects of your photos!

XD I think the dreamy effect is more my over-abusing of gaussian blur. But after tidying all the colours, I was really to sian of them to do much! D:

Thank you to you too!

Btw, I've finished your Hitler book. When would be convenient for me to return you?
