Musketeer in the Palace Gardens

9/15/2014

Took Tedros to the Guild Ruins Garden after dinner last night. There was a limo with a newly married couple, and a bus full of wedding party and guests there for formal wedding photos, so I was a bit restricted as to where I could take photos. Fortunately they were mostly shooting at the amphitheatre ruin, so I could only use it as a distant background.....

I'm very happy with how the photos turned out. That Ruins Garden is such a perfect place for taking photos of dolls in elaborate period costumes.  I just wish Tedros was easier to lug around and pose. He looks incredibly impressive, but I can't do hardly anything with him - which is why he's always in the same old poses. Even with wires in his arms, I still can't do hardly anything with them, but at least they weren't hanging limp and lifeless anymore. It's no wonder I gravitate towards my smaller dolls - they are light, easy to carry around and pose, and fit nicely in a small box for transport.  I would love to take photos of Tedros with some of his lady friends at the Ruins Gardens, but that would be just too difficult, so will have to maybe try that at home.

Oh wow! *gasp*
What amazing photos of him in the ruins!!! He looks so real! You must be so proud of this costume.
I so hope you get to make another that you are able to keep one day.
Amazing!

I absolutely adore this! I just wish I had a big guy who could fit into that size. Well, no matter, as this was a commission and is gone. But whoever gets this amazing outfit is super lucky! It belongs in a museum!
