Large The Milk Bath [Granado Uriel]

Do you know that experience

of being alone, of caring for yourself

wishing to indulge in your peace

but you cannot, because your weird little cat

just won’t leave you alone?

You tried to put her outside the door, but she kept yowling.

You worried her noise would disturb the neighbors,

and now she’s stuck in here with you, knocking things over

being the cutest nuisance.​

A submission for Granado’s photo contest and one of the winning items for Crocus’s Choice category.
Featuring Leslie, a Granado Uriel and McQueen, a needy cat created by soft sculpture artist Sofia Ermilova.

 

Thank you so much ~ it was an adventure getting the set dressing together.

 

Thank you, dear! I’m happy I was able to create a lifelike scene.

AGREED!

I don’t know how well it can be noticed, but my favorite details I tried to draw attention to were his LoTR tattoos and the copy of the Fellowship of the Ring he’s reading.

Kitty stole the show! (and some cookies) my favorite props to make were the vertical succulent planters on the wall.

Here’s a funny secret about the set location for the shoot - I made a bathroom inside a bathroom! A relative of mine sympathetic to my doll craziness let me borrow their bathroom, which had that nice, neutral color tile to make all the decor pop.

Right?! I wish I had this bathroom in real life!

 

Deep breaths and be brave! In my experience, thinking about getting a tattoo is much scarier than actually being tattooed. This boy also has Smaug over his shoulders and the Evenstar on his ribs, but they didn’t get that much camera time for the shoot.

 

I do! I made a small series of Instagram stories of all his tattoos (and commentary); they’re saved to my profile’s highlights. My Instagram handle is the exact same as my handle here.
