I love when people give their dolls little stories, so meet Valtiel. He's an 18 year old male with an adventurous life that you'll find out about later on in this post. Right now, lets talk about his owner for a moment. His owner's name is Devon and is a 19 year old male from Norway. When I told him that I wanted his doll photos and possibly an interview, he was very nice about it and responded to all my questions super quickly. The mini interview is below.

Dark and Light

* Post date: April 05, 2011. * Photo Courtesy of: darkfairykara (.deviantart.com)! ♡ Greetings, my dollies! Isn't the photo on the left lovely? The doll owner's name is Kristina, which is funny because this doll's look reminded me of a look Christina Aguilera had in one of the scene's for her music video "Fighter". It was during the bridge, I think. She had on this white dress, her hair was white, and her makeup had this dusty white vibe to it, and it was just really cool. This doll photo definitely has emotion within it, and so I was curious of what Kristina was thinking when she took this photo. Fortunately, she was so kind and answered all of my questions in the little interview below. See for yourself!

Those Eyes

>February 06, 2011
Photo Courtesy of blackroosje.deviantart.com
Okay, I love this. Look at this; is this an amazing work of art or what? Seriously, there's so much meaning within this photo: dark, sad, mysterious, wistful, fearless - I could go on and on. My very favorite part about this doll is, by far, his eyes; I love the color, and I don't even know what color they are - gold, maybe? All I know is that they're so round and so shiny, and I love them! The doll's name is Muse, and yes: he's a boy. Oh, and P.S. I got a little interview with Muse's owner - must read!

What would you describe your DeviantArt gallery as?: My world, my thoughts and myself.

Where does the inspiration for all your beautiful photos come from?: From anywhere. I get my inspiration from all things around me, but Japan and the band Plastic Tree are two big inspirations.

What do you like about dolls?: You can create them as you want and give them a whole own life. Make an own story with them.

*Bonus Photos!*

Honestly, you guys, the girl has so many amazing photos of her doll, Muse - I had a hard time figuring out which ones to share on this blog. Some of my other favorites included: "Best safety lies in Fear .1.", "Together again", "Border of Taboo .4.", and "Happy Halloween 2" - I suggest all of you have a look at them!

Say "Cheese", Brailey!

>January 30, 2011
Photo Courtesy of brailey.deviantart.com
Doesn't this photo look like a paparazzi photo? I love it! It brings back memories of an old post I did way back in August titled "Nao's the Name". The doll's name is Brailey, and her (very nice) owner's name is Mika. There's a fun interview with Mika below - lets read!

--What inspired you to take this picture?: It was raining outside, and I loved the lighting through the windows. ;)

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?: Almost anything! My dogs, Myself, friends, other dolls, stuff like that!

What type of dolls are those in the picture (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: She is a 27cm Obitsu Nano-Haruka.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for the picture?: Nope, this is exactly how the picture turned out.

Random, but if you and Brailey could travel anywhere in the world - where would it be?: Oh, that's a tough one! I'd say Italy, because of all the different looks and smells. :3-- The End.

For more of Mika and her dolly friend, Brailey, visit Mika's DeviantArt gallery; it's filled with many other wonderful photos of Brailey.

Colorful Emo Boy

>January 24, 2011
Photo Courtesy of so-fiii.deviantart.com
You guys, look what I came across!

Is this doll adorable or what? The hair, the makeup, the clothes - look at him! The doll's name is Kris. For plenty more photos, check out the owner of Kris' DeviantArt gallery - so-fiii. She has photos of other dolls that you might like on there, as well, so be sure to have a look! My very favorite thing about Kris is definitely his style because, like Kris' owner stated in the interview below, it's just so colorful and unique! Okay, I'm done rambling now; here's the interview!

--How are you?: thanks I'm fine^^

What inspired Kris' look?: seriously I don't know XD One day I decided that I want him to be a colorful boy with unique sense of fashion. Originally I wanted him to be way more emo but I'm really really happy that he has become like this. :3

What type of doll is Kris (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: Kris is an Asian ball jointed doll (BJD) made of resin.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for the Kris photos?: yes, I use PS CS4 (and wish that one day I will actually learn how to use it...>.<) Random, but if Kris had a favorite music band - which music band would it be?: hehe Kris actually has a favourite music band- his boyfriends' (oh yes :d).

And last but not least, this "interview" (lol) will be going on my blog, along with your amazing Kris photos - if that's alright with you?: yes and thank you so much.

*Bonus Photos!*

Ko the Artist

> January 10, 2011
Photo Courtesy of onnawufei.deviantart.com
Checkers and stripes - I've never really thought of that. Those patterns look simply amazing together. The owner of this photo has been a member of DeviantArt.com for 7 years now - with the amazing status of 636 Deviations, 49,146 Comments, 470,729 Page views, 73 Scraps, 2 Critiques, 217 Forum Posts, and 2,247 Favorites! She goes by the names "Onnawufei", "Onnawaffle", just plain "Onna" or "Zim"; I like Zim. I was so thrilled to, not only have her permission to post up this wonderful photo, but also to get an interview with her. The interview is below!

--
What inspired you to take those pictures?: Well Ko's character is an artist, so I was trying to think of something she might think of, if that makes any sense. Somehow that ended in me drawing a checkerboard pattern on poster board, which took way longer than it should have. *laugh*

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?: I love taking pictures of animals, nature, architecture... most things really. I'm not a huge fan of taking people pictures but I'm game for pretty much anything else.

What type of doll is that in those pictures (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: The doll in the picture is an Asian balljoint doll, specifically a CP Soony.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for those pictures?: I use Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS3 to edit pretty much all my pictures.

Besides "checkers and stripes", what other patterns do you like?: I like spiral patterns. Spirals are probably my favorite... if that counts.

Random, but if the doll in the picture had a favorite color - what would it be?: Ko's the kind of girl who would tell you a favorite color one week, but tell you a different one a week later. This week I'd say her favorite color is yellow. *giggle*-- The End.

Bonus photo!

January in September

Photo Courtesy of fallondoll.LiveJournal.com
First of all, what an elegant dress; I adore it + the hat that (very well) matches it. Her hair is simply beautiful and so is the scenery! Every detail about this photo just falls together so nicely. The doll's name is January. If you guessed that an interview with January's owner is below - well then, you guessed right; the quick interview is below!

What inspired you to take this picture?: I had just gotten a new outfit for January and wanted to take photos of her in it!

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?: Food, lightning, my cats... random things that I find amusing or cool. I just really enjoy photography all around.

What type of dolls are those in the picture (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: January is a Luts Kid Delf Aru.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for the picture?: I may have used PaintShop Pro 7 to resize it and tweak the colours... but nothing beyond that. :)

You're awesome. Haha, thank you so much!: Yay! You're welcome!-- The End.

P.S. January's owner has a doll blog, as well - and it's very nice; there are tons of fun, brightly colored doll photos on there. Click here to check out it!

Nao's the Name

Photo Courtesy of hi-im-pug.deviantart.com
Doesn't this photo just look way cool? The lighting, the angle, the glasses - I love glasses! That is, indeed, one lifelike looking doll right there. I feel so lucky to have gotten an interview with the owner of the doll; he was very nice and fun to interview. The quick interview is below! Also, be sure to check out the doll owner's other amazing doll photos. To check them out, simply visit his DeviantArt gallery.

--What inspired you to take this picture?: i bought those new glasses for one of my other dolls and decided to try them on nao. i thought he looked nice so i took some pictures.

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?: i don't take many pictures other than dolls. sometimes i take pictures of myself and i take pictures at concerts.

What type of dolls are those in the picture (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: DoT homme ducan from dream of doll.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for the picture?: i use procreate painter classic for changing brightness/contrast, but there's no other editing.-- The End.

Oh, and P.S. I was searching for glasses at Amazon.com, and I found a pair (for humans) that look just about identical to the doll's in the photo above.

"80's Collection 'dakor' classic clear lens glasses"

Nice, huh? They're available for only $10.00 at Amazon.com, you guys! Is that a deal or what?

Tokio Hotel!!!! Okay, seriously, I can't believe how much those dolls look like them; it's unbelievable. I would've loved to get an interview with the owner of this photo, but, unfortunately, I wasn't able to contact her. The only way I knew how to contact her was from DeviantArt.com - and I currently don't have an account on that website, so yeah. One of my GaiaOnline.com friends, with a DeviantArt account, was kind enough tho' to ask her if I could post her photo up on this blog, and the owner of the photo said "yes" and that she'd be honored. I'd like to give a huge thank you to her, idrilkeps.deviantart.com, for allowing me to post her awesome photo up - along with my Gaia pal for contacting her for me + linking me to the girl's DeviantArt, therefore, showing me this photo in the first place. If it wasn't for her, I probably would've never seen this photo - thanks, "Madeline"!

And to end this post....



A song.... by Tokio Hotel + more photos!

"Autumn Through the Leaves"

Photo Courtesy of GaiaOnline's member, x_xPockySaurx_x.
How beautiful is this photo? I just love the scenery. The owner was another nice member of GaiaOnline.com; oh, how I love that website. First, I asked her if I could have permission to post her poem on here, and - not only was she kind enough to let me do that, but she also allowed me to share one of her amazing doll photos with all of you. The poem is below + an interview! All new questions, all new answers.












Poem
: "The Life Of a Doll" - written by GaiaOnline.com's member, x_xPockySaurx_x.
"Stuck here in the lost and found,
Cold and abandoned, like a lost memory
Fallen into pieces from the unforgotten past
As time flies, all the dust fall

Sitting here waiting
With this sown on smile
Never knowing how long i may stay
Maybe forever, maybe a while

When finally, someone cares to pick me up
They hold me, gently to their heart
Pay a few cents, take me home
And sew me back into one part

From joyful laughter
into sorrowful tears
I'll be here forever and after
And conquer your fears

But soon I'll be outdated
Raggity and torn...." Click here to read the rest. While you're there, if you're a member of GaiaOnline.com, be sure to leave a comment! If you're not a member of GaiaOnline.com, no worries; leave a comment right here - I love comments. The interview (partially conversation) is below!

--Me: May I just ask you this; what inspired you to write that poem? Not only I - but I think my (blog) visitors would love to know, as well. :3

Her: My inspiration is simple, the love for my ball-jointed dolls. (:

Me: Aah! I want one of those dolls so badly. Ever since I started my blog, I just can't get over how awesome they seem. May I ask if you like to photograph them? Haha, I ask so many questions - apologies. xD

Her: I don't mind the questions at all. I'm actually having fun answering them. Yes, I do photograph them for my own personal enjoyment because they look so adorable. ;3; If you like, I can take a picture that you can feature in your blog as well. (:

Me: I know, they're too adorable, lol. May I ask if yours are custom made? Like, did you buy the wig, make-up, ETC? :) If I'd like? Haha, I'd love that! :D I mean, if it's not too much trouble, that is - because if it is, well then, that's alright; I'm thankful for the poem.

Her: I do have some custom made ones & others. It's not a hassle at all for a photograph I'm actually quite flattered at the moment. > A < http://i28.tinypic.com/2mes6xg.jpg This is my Sophia Rosy doll, yet to be named. This photo I titled,'Autumn through the leaves.' That dress, was handmade by me and I'm still so very fond with it!

Me: Oh yeah, that's %100 going on my blog, lol - amazing shot! :D I don't really know how much I should thank you, haha; thank you oh so very much! :) I'll show you the post once it's up.

Her:
I can't wait to see the post. (:--The End.

I know, I use "lol" way too much, along with too many smiley faces! Apologies, it's a habit; I try not to use them too much on this blog tho' - just while chatting with people.

Curious Explorer

Photo Courtesy of ramendoodles.Deviantart.com
Okay, first of all, I suggest all of you go to Deviantart and check out the rest of this girl's doll photos; her username is "ramendoodles". Now, back to the post. Really, I just love the realism in this photo. I've got to get one of those ball jointed dolls, because I just find them so fascinating. Okay, so the owner of the photo gave me permission to post it up, and you want to know what else they gave me? That's right, an interview. This girl was just so kind and friendly; I had fun interviewing her. The quick interview is below + some more photos!




















--What inspired you to take this picture?:
The shape of the gazebo :D It had this nice round opening and reminded me of those old wooden roller coasters... so I sat Sakki (my doll) on it and played around with angles till I got a fun shot.

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?:
I really only take pics of my dolls (laughs). Aside from snapshots of my friends and family, you know, "normal" stuff. ;) The only thing I try to be artsy about is the doll photography. (nod)

What type of dolls are those in the picture (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?:
Sakki is an Asian ball-jointed doll: a Volks Super Dollfie Cute Kurenai to be exact.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for the picture?:
Not for this one in particular. The only thing I ever do with PhotoShop for my photos is try to correct color or sometimes edit out stray hairs - those wigs can be tricky!! Hope I answered your questions to your satisfaction :D

Aww, you sure did, lol; thank you so very much! :D Really, I can't wait to post your amazing photos, along with this amazing interview, on my blog. :):
Sure no prob (nod)--The End.

The Lives of Dolls

Photo Courtesy of Valkyrie.nu
Isn't this incredible? When I first saw this picture, I knew I wanted to share it on this blog, but I really didn't expect to figure out who the lovely picture rightfully belonged to, but luckily - I was wrong. It belonged to a very nice, young woman who was kind enough to, not only let me post up her picture, but to ask her a few questions about it, as well. The quick interview is below + some more pictures!









Photos Courtesy of
Valkyrie.nu











--What inspired you to take this picture?: I just wanted some nice pictures of my guy doll after giving him a new faceup (painting/customizing the faces). I was posing them around on my porch and areas around my house and just taking pictures and posing them.

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?: I take a lot of cosplay pictures at various conventions and things like that. I also like taking pictures of nature and stuff around me, if anything for drawing reference.

What type of dolls are those in the picture (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: Ball Jointed Dolls, the girl is an Angel of Dream Juli (58 cm) and the guy is a Soom Spinel (62 cm). Both were entirely customized by me, with some bought clothing.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for the picture?: Just photoshop. Namely, I did a little bit of cropping and then used some photoshop effects to spruce up the colors.

Awesome! Thanks a ton for the little interview; I appreciate it so very much - along with the friend request you've sent me (on GaiaOnline.com), lol. ;D Now this interview is going on my blog with the picture, alright?:
No problem! :3 I have more pictures of dolls somewhere. But I've switched computers 3 times, so I have to figure out where they're stored.--

Well, there you have it; the quick interview. I hope all of you enjoyed reading it, and there are more quick interviews to come, so stick around, and check out
Valkyrie.nu - the site the photos are credited to.
