DOLLS!!!!!

 MY NEW "FIGHTERS" HAVE ARRIVED

So I bought a couple of these expensive dolls.  I had an idea that I could start making a sort of live action catfight theater dressing these dolls up as various Green Tower City characters.   

First impression, these things are SWEET....and frustrating.  They look cool as hell, and I'm sure I can make some really cool stuff with them, but I'm going to have to figure out a good way of  posing them in a way to make them stand up, as they do NOT stand up on their own. 

Any scenes where the girls are wrestling shouldn't be too much of a problem, and they did each come with a display stand, but besides the fact that the stand is then in the pictures if I have to use it, it also doesn't always cooperate.  

Also I am still getting the hang of how to light things.  I think the pictures where I used the flash look a little better, but I have a ton of different kinds of lighting  to experiment with, so we'll see.  

I made their panties myself, and it's really the first time I've ever messed with fabric, so that too was a little frustrating.  You can actually buy outfits for these things, and I have a wide assortment on the way. 

It occurred to me that if I build a ring for them to fight in, as I have been planning, I will be able to use the ropes to keep them upright. (At least when they are fighting on the ropes.)  

Anyway, check these fuckers out.

And now for something COMPLETELY different.

 BARBIE FIGHT

One reason I haven't been very productive with Green Tower City lately is due to the purchase of my first decent digital camera.  I will be using it to make some stop motion videos with the MASSIVE collection of toy I own.  (This is an entirely separate hobby from my catfight fetish.) 

I did however come up with a way to incorporate it into my new past time.  I bought these fancy Barbies a few years ago, thinking I would be able to use them for pose models, but then promptly tossed them in a box and forgot about them like I do with most of the junk I drag home. 

These are actually kind of cool.  Slightly more realistic looking and much more poseable than your classic Barbies, but still...they don't really work. 

That being said I got on Ebay last night and discovered a whole WORLD of much more realistic, fully poseable and SEAMLESS female dolls that I think would be EXCELLENT for stop motion photography.

You can make or buy your own outfits for these dolls.  They come in a wide variety of body types, breast sizes and skin colors.  There are a large assortment of different heads you can put on them.  I ordered two, but I will wait to see how cool they actually are before I buy more. 

This could be the beginning of a whole new chapter in Green Tower City storytelling.

I messed around a bit with a few of the images in paint shop, but it was way too time consuming to be effective.  If these new figures end up working as advertised, it will be like I have my own miniature production studio with which to tell all my Green Tower City stories. 

And I'm still going to be drawing too.  I'll never stop doing that until the day I die.
