Today is Justinian's birthday. He's 12 years old. Words can't describe what an important doll and character he is to me. . . Omake, with the anpiel (DV Achelous human). If the pictures are broken, the photoshoot is on my doll blog. (Sometimes my imagehost doesn't play nice with DoA) Thanks for looking at my photos
Happy birthday Justinian!!!! May he have many more happy years with you! Good idea to use the wings behind him. He's totally a little warrior!! I really like the shot in profile with his body turned toward the hawk.
Happy happy birthday, Justinian! This photoshoot is gorgeous, I love the way you use the hawk behind him, and that shot where he's lit from behind with the window is so cool! Love it! Great work!
Happy birthday!! The shots with the hawk in the background are so cool, and the entire color palette of the shoot suits him so well. Gorgeous photos
Happy birthday Justinian! What a great photoshoot. He looks very graceful. May he have many great years ahead of him!
Happy Birthday Justinian! He looks great for his age. I have a Mui here who has had his share of sunny days or he's a lot older then your guy. Hard to know as no COA back then. Anyway happy day for your guy.
Justinian and I thank you for the generous comments. ^^ If it helps... I got Justinian in DT/Dollshe oriental skin in 2011. I still have old photos of that new oriental skin vs new-ish DT/Dollshe fresh skin: both were quite different, oriental was flesh-toned with more reds, while fresh was lighter and creamy-white. Justinian hasn't really yellowed over time, more like faded and lost practically all the red tones in his resin. Now he's almost the same colour as my fresh skin girl - creamy white. He was stored away for many years though, no sun but I'm sure the closet got warm during summers. So no sun yellowing, but a resin formula with unstable reds. He still settled into a nice colour.
Awesome birthday portraits! Hope you enter his thirteenth year with good luck to make a lot more happy memories!
Thank you for commenting, AlisonVonderland and melie59 - I hope to keep enjoying my doll for years to come. ^^
Happy Birthday Justinian! Really wonderful posing with the sword! And I must say, love his clothing style.
