Konohana Sakuya part one


Part one in a set I did of one of my favourite character Personas, Konhana Sakuya!
This is the D-Arts figure, she can be difficult to pose but the result is worth it. She is colourful and very graceful. I thought spring was an ideal time of year to profile her seeing as her beautiful 'wings' look so much like cherry blossoms to me.









Queen of the forest




I picked up this beautiful Asuna Yuuki figure recently. It depicts her in the outfit she was given in the ALO arc of the Sword Art Online story. Though a negative time for her, she looked beautiful and it's my favourite outfit of hers. I took a few profiles of her in my garden this week. I have big plans for some photos with her in the future, just need an assistant!

Aegis

Charred Screw....


This nendoroid came out back in April 2014 and I picked her up later in the year. In my usual style I took photos a long while back but I've only just gotten round to sorting through them.

Sculpted by Isao Shirasagi, this version of the Aegis nendoroid has fully articulated joints allowing for many more poses with a really natural look. I really commend them on this design and I hope to see it in a few more nendoroids in the future. Perhaps it's an idea that could cross over into the figma range (I'm not a huge fan of the prominent joints).  Her delicate face is carefully painted and emulates the gentle demeanor she carries perfectly. Not to say she doesn't look great with her angry/determined face plate on though at all! The complex details across Aegis' body are painted carefully and nothing feels cheap about this figure whatsoever.
Determined face and rifle!

Accessory wise, Aegis comes with a nice variety of her weapons plus the very special Charred Screw (those who have completed the game will appreciate this <3). These combined with the ease of posing mean you can re create quite a variety of poses.
The accessories you can equip Aegis with are:

  • Cannon, can be attached to her left or right hand.
  • Rifle, complete with a little orange blast effect.
  • Blast effect pieces for her fingers. (plus detachable canon parts)
  • Rocket Punch, complete with skull and crossbones detail. 
  • Charred Screw.

Onto the photos!

homura in the stars


SQ Homura Akemi!


I've been meaning to re shoot an idea I had around this figure for a while now. This is my favourite look of Homura. It touches my heart remembering how Madoka will always be there with her in spirit as Homura continues to protect the world. You can see it in the beautiful smile Akemi-san wears, that rare but beautiful smile! I did my best to emulate those feelings in this little set, enjoy!
