Modification Symbioses (Animal, vegetable & mineral)3/15/19 new photo

Aug 29, 2014

    1. Thank you equine-aurora for posting the pictures. I found my camera later, on the floorboard of my car.
      I had fun and I am exhausted, both good things.
       
    2. OfKa Lukas, you gorrrgeous hunk of... lots of things, you! The snake must have been happy! And hellooooo to your lovely couch mate too!
       
    3. This is a big change outstanding!! :o
       
    4. Thanks, Lukas got a lot of attention at the meet. When I saw the hognose snake I knew I needed a photo of them together. The snake seemed happy to stay where he was, he had his tail wrapped around Lukas' leafy wings. His couch mate made Lukas seem so small, he is a big guy and his tattoos were wonderful.
      Thank you so much.
       
    5. Omgosh my subscription didn't notify me of updates. He's finished! I can't believe the intricacy! Man, I'm too lazy to even blush a body so this amount of work blows my mind.
       
    6. Thank you dollieaddict. Now that he is done, I'm on to other projects but his transformation was so intense I miss it.
      I finished his cape and a wand so I need to get his "glamour" :roll:shot done. The temperature has dropped and it is so nice outside, I will have to get him back into nature for a photoshoot.
       
    7. I hope you'll post that "glamour" shot here, too, I've had a great time watching him develop here!
       
    8. I will definitely post a glamor shot here.
      Hope to get that glamor shot tomorrow.

    10. wow I havejust read this whole thread and your work is amazing. Fantastic I just love him
       
    11. Yay!! He's amAZing!! Now I am curious though- what did you do to Tumnus, you creative mad genius, you?
       
    12. Thank you, I had a ball doing this project and my enthusiastic and loquacious (ya know) watchers helped.
      Thank you, and Tumnus got the treatment too but his is more of a sculpted and leather molded suit to wear. Right here if you missed it.
       
    13. Wow, you have put an amazing amount of work into him. It's so cool to see someone have so much passion in something like this. I can't wait to see if you do any other dolls. There needs to be more 'art' type doll photos, because I know there has to be more out there.
       
    14. Thank you Anelir. He is a gross little puppy but beautiful also, and yes it was a frenzy to get him made so fast but I enjoyed every minute of it.
      I have seen a few of the art dolls and I am happy that you think he is 'art'.:)
       
    15. I am sorry I haven't been around, but thanks for sharing all the photos! They look amazing.
      And it's so very nice to see how far along Lukas had come!
      You did a fantastic job!
      :lol:
       
    16. Thank you! :)
       
    17. I posted very detailed photos of OfKa Lukas in my dA gallery, if you want to see more of him. Link is in my signature. Thank you all for your support, laughs and suggestions (and dares too)!
       
    18. Freaking AMAZING! Wow! :D And I am jealous of your camera, too! *LOL* Nice closeups! I am digging big time on Reed, as well. You, my dear, are extremely creative/talented! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!! :hug: It's been a great ride!
       
    19. He look soooo awesome! Just a quick observation, 2 of your carvings reminded me of the rune Jara. I do not know if it was intended but still, awesome. ??
       
    20. Thanks so much. Reed is also a favorite mod, a fun and raunchy guy.

      I find that my mind leaks esoteric knowledge that I have learned over the years so it is possible that I subconsciously put the rune there. I'm glad you like him! Thank you! :dance
       
    21. I know it's too late, but it will be "[​IMG]". Your variant is non-translatable.
       
    22. Eeek, I was just getting ready to make the correction and change the translation. :...(

      So now I'm confused, which is better [​IMG] or [​IMG]?
       
    23. Both variants are right :)
       
    24. :)Thank you, I will fix the phrase, Yay!:dance

      If your going to be anatomically correct you should be grammatically correct also. :XD:
       
    25. I fixed the Russian phrase, thank you Synchytruim and Aira for your help. I also placed his piercing not sure if it will remain like this or if I find something better to replace it. The little critter is a pet of sorts, the chain isn't to keep it from running away but to protect it from being blown away. I don't know if he will stay there or not, just toying with the idea since I found that really neat piece of coral. His feathers or wings are from a peacock tail feather.
      So more photos.

    26. This is an astounding amount of work, looking through your process was really fun. Thanks for sharing this. I feel so lazy now, lol.
       
    27. I think we all feel lazy after looking through this thread. You really have outdone yourself, steamwitch!
       
    28. Thanks! It was lots of fun, and I'm glad there are still things I can do with (to) him. :sneaky
      Thank you, he was so much fun to work on and I needed to find something to do with my time since my granddaughter got her drivers license - she no longer needs a chauffeur.
       
    29. Oh, I love that idea! Chained so it doesn't fly away in a stiff breeze! That's cute, very original. Awwww... sweet little pig slug! Does that mean it's a plug? Hah! I do so amuse myself. ;) (And I agree with Sakuraharu- I feel extremely lazy watching this, but it does encourage me to be a bit more daring in the future! Thanks Steamwitch!)
       
    30. Thanks to you, chalyss, I had the raw material to inspire me, and I wanted to show my friend Kilian, who altered most of the head, that his creation was a worthy effort. He hasn't seen it yet, but now that OfKa Lukas is mostly finished, he will.
      Plug huh *snicker*, hummm maybe Pilug for his name, *giggle*
       
    31. Thaddeus the three-eyed wicked seer stole Lukas' body. Now he is marked with the Celahmun symbol in a more prominent place. What do you think of the new OfKa?
      Sorry lost these Photos :...(

      Yes, no, maybe?
      I think his old Lukas head is going to it's main sculptor; so do you think this 5Stardoll Dark will make a suitable replacement.

    32. I like it! It's not as cutely grotesque, but the third eye helps! He seems a bit 'clean' compared to the rest of the body, easily fixed if you wanted to, but my first response was 'oooh, pretty!' so I think he works. That's my humble opinion anyway. <3
       
    33. I'm glad you like him.
      I wanted to see how well he worked before I put more, veining and wood-grain on him. The pencil is okay but the paint makes it stand out more. I was worried that he was too pretty but I think I'll try and dirty him up with paint and glue something on his face but not do any carving on his head.
      It's really funny that you can't tell that most of his face is blushed in yellow green, IRL he looks green.
       
    34. Nah, OfKa Lukas can be pretty. I thought he was before, just in his own way. He's a bit clean is all, but you explained that. I look forward to whatever you do to him! Muwahahahahaha! (The thread is alive... ALIIIIVE!)
       
    35. Well I tried to make Thadd into the new OfKa but he refused.:| The more paint and lines that went on his face, he became more upset. He wants to remain a beautiful evil guy, go figure. *_*
      So this is what he looked like this morning when I finally gave up.

      Funny how these dolls get a mind of their own, or at least some part of your mind knows when something is wrong or right.


      I will see if I can keep the original OfKa Lukas' cutely grotesque head and he will get his new wig cap.

      Off with the pastels, glue and paint. I hate losing those eyelashes though, hopefully if I'm very careful they will come off in one piece.
       
    36. Wow! You were doing some neat stuff on him! But.... yeah, he doesn't seem terribly happy, does he? Maybe it's the mustache? Or maybe it's just he doesn't wanna be OfKa Lukas. Hmmm. That IS a hard slot to fill with anyone but sweet Lukas the Original. Darn good try though! Kudos!
       
    37. I liked the Origianl Ofka Lukas. Bad head stealing his body.
       
    38. Yes, bad head (Thaddeus is a mischievous bad guy) but we finally realized he didn't belong there (since OfKa Lukas is basically a good guy). Thaddeus will either share with someone else or wait and someday get his own.
      Therefore, if I can keep the head, the next post will be working on a new and improved wig/crystaline headcap for the original Lukas.
       
    39. So creative! I really like the backstory/personality ideas you had for him.

    41. YAY for Lukas keeping his head! And YAY for Thaddeus getting a new body! I LOOOVE the Dolores body and want one in white so darn bad! Can't wait to see Thaddeus in all his wicked glory! And Lukas in his new wig! Awww... I've missed OfKa Lukas!
       
    42. Lukas has been on hold while I am busy with sewing and other projects poor guy. It's been a rainy, windy and cold autumn and winter for a change so I haven't been able to do photostories outside with him. As soon as the weather permits I have several stories I need to shoot, his included.
      When I get my swap items finished I think I'm going to start work on his new wig, unless Thaddeus demands my time.
       
    43. He's my happy monkey for sure! Makes me smile!

    44. *LOL* Happy Monkey. I still think he's the king of the awesome hill of awesomeness! Such a mischievous, sweet smile! he makes me chuckle every time I see him! OfKa Lucas is simply -love- <3
       
    45. Yes, it is hard to believe that someone with fangs like that and a scarred face would not only look happy but make you feel happy too.
      Great new Avatar chalyss!
       
    46. He is talented in more ways than one! Kind of makes me wonder what he was like before the bondings or mergings or becomings... was he always just happy go lucky? Or maybe brave in the face of adversity? I always like the person who can hold a smile while the rest of the world frowns.

      Thank you! My little sweeties! My adorable little Epidia always makes me feel warm fuzzies! She's my happy monkey. :) Pink hair makes me smile.
       
    47. I believe he was unhappy but didn't know why, and that his merging/becoming the shaman is what he needed to be fulfilled. I think that was one reason his transformation didn't take long. I was working furiously to make it happen for him.

      Pink hair make me happy too, that's why I wear it myself.:)

    48. AH!! You have the Joy of Pink Hair on yo' head!! *melts* I am in a happy place. Hmmm. :) *drapes in Steamwitch's pink hair*

      You know, YOU probably make HIM smile with the pinkness, so it's a wonderful cycle of happies! Wheee! *nestles contentedly*
       
    49. I have started working on his new wig - finally... First step I poured resin to make the wigcap with all the crystals and such. No photos yet so if you are subscribed to this journal here is a new photo and a link to more photos of our favorite Organism formerly Known as (OfKa) Lukas to tide you over while I let things dry. I also have a new little one arriving this week so he may steal some wig prep time.

      More new photos here!
       
    50. Wow... this guy is quite the project, isn't he? He looks totally amazing!
       
    51. He is and thank you.
      I spent quite a bit of time on him and it seems I'm still working on him. I have some new ideas kicking around for his new wig and the collarbone piercing. He makes me smile. I am looking forward to a nice spring when I can work on his photo stories, this winter has either been cold or rainy neither are good for photostories.
      New wig work starts tomorrow.
       
    52. *Smooches Lukas and wants to see the new wig!!*
       
    53. Ask and you shall receive @chalyss
      His new wig, His former wig will become a headdress.

    54. Oh I like that!! I love that the old one will become a headdress! YAY Steamy! *smooches Lukas* Happy Monkey needed more fur I guess. *L* CUTE!
       
    55. Thank you I think he looks real cute now. I will be looking for more and new ingredients for the headdress.
       
    56. OfKa in Wonderland. He has horns and a new pink sluggy friend who has no wings. He has a bird fetish ornament from his collarbone piercing. He is still being worked on slowly. I have hit a creative wall where it comes to his headdress so I gave him horns.

      Edit: On another note, I started this modification over a year ago but I had his head for much longer, almost a year longer, so I have to say. On 9/3, Happy 2nd birthday :smallcakeLukas you've been through a lot.

    57. *MASHES LIKE BUTTON!* Lukas!! I LOVE the horns!!! Happy birthday, sweetpea! You still make me grin like an idiot! (which, I've been told, isn't hard to do -at least me looking like an idiot part- but still!) <3 Smooches!
       
    58. Thank you chalyss, he continues to make me happy even when I get poked by his many thorns. Those who have seen and held him have been amazed that he looks so much better than his photos; which makes me sad that I can't convey his overall affect in a photo.
       
    59. Happy birthday, Lukas! :XD: Those horns do look great on him, I've gotta agree. And if he looks even better in person than in photos, then I can only hope that someday I'm lucky enough to see him for myself!
       
    60. I hope so too vicemage, that would be a great visit!

      And it goes without saying we (me & Lukas) are dying to meet chalyss.
