It was hard to choose just one as my characters themselves have differing opinions but I could relate to this moment and chose this as the final overarching theme.

I chose "Can't Fight It" (IE: bad luck) that... well, evolves.

What dolls appear in the photostory? (Brand and sculpt)

The protagonist in this story is Felix, my Doll Love Hugh. I chose him because he is my unluckiest OC, and also happens to be a major comic book fan... like me.

Supporting cast (in order of appearance):

• Keith (Dolkot Day)
• Eric (Dollzone Jake)
• Stephanie (Fairyland MNF Rheia)
• Karen (Angel Fantasy Alice)
• Christian (Only-Doll Tingyun)

Minor characters (no speaking part):

• Missy (Mystic Kids Lillian)
• Christine (Doll Leaves Blue)
• Stacy (Loongsoul Momo)
• Phoebe (Dikadoll AAAAA)

Dolls on the "cover" other than Felix:

• Orion (SOOM Pyrol)
• C.C. Smyth (Resinsoul Ju)
• Debbie (Bambicrony Nia)

What software program(s) did you use?

Over the past few weeks I've used a combination of Photoshop, BeFunky, Pixlr, Comic Strip Pro, and Ultimate Photo Blender. I really wanted to replicate a "true" comic style. Hopefully that desire shines through.

All doll photos were taken using my MotoG 4.

I also incorporated a few images from the Creative Commons database that allowed for free-for-private-and-commercial use and could be modified, adapted, etc. An example of this is the Stan Lee photo in Felix's room.

Other props (nightstand, school lockers, beanbag chair, bed sheets, globe, school supplies, lava lamp, 1/4 scale HUSH graphic novel replica, etc.) and backdrops were made by me then digitally enhanced.

The tiny Spiderman, Batman, and Captain America figures are from my own collection, purchased at Wal-Mart. Bed frame is from American Girl.

Are you the creator of this photostory? (yes/no)

110% yes.

Also, I'd like to note that I designed LUCK's cover as a parody of the HUSH: Volume One graphic novel by DC Comics.

Was this photostory done specifically for DoA's 13th Anniversary? (yes/no)

Again, yes. Thank you for the opportunity to share Felix's story.
