I'd like to start a petition to remove the word "pie" as a synonym for pizza. Who will join me?!
Since I communicate my thoughts and opinions almost entirely in text form, I'm a BIG fan of capitalizing entire words for emphasis. It's for this reason that I am sad we don't have capitalized numbers. βΉοΈ Oh. Also, Vaccinated people with masks = considerate "Freedom" concerned anti-vaxers = selfish
What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time & again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. All shot practically using real figures lighting & miniature sets #thedevilsbackbone #photography
Are you kidding? I do that ALL the time! π MY question is, does anyone else ever reply "You too." inappropriately? Like, a server brings you your food and says, "Enjoy your food." and you respond, "You too." It happens to me far too often. π
Damn! I would LOVE to be part of the bigger Legend of Zelda community! β€οΈ But my life is so fucked up right now that I can't trust myself to reliably contribute a consistent amount of content or to have others rely on me. π
Please don't use my photography to push political agenda's on your own posts without my permission. My work is there for people to enjoy & have a rest bite from a world on fire. it has nothing to do with any political drives or movements unless I create something with that intention in mind. Thanks
An old drawing of Medli I still like #zelda
'The war against the machines' One year ago today I posted this miniature Terminator scene I created. All shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. The Endos glowing eyes I digitally illustrated in the rest is all in camera #terminator #scifi #miniatures #photography
Completely agree. People be bitching like "Dammit! My weapon broke again! God! Why'd they have to ruin the series by adding a challenge?! Vilify the developers! Vilify!"
Why you gotta say "so long ago"? π
Oh cool! You're a teacher? I hope you can make something useful! π A few years ago, I made this activity for a friend's birthday. When finished, he had a QR code to scan for his gift. I probably had more fun making it than he did completing it, but... π Maybe that provided some inspiration for ya. π
Good advice #IsThisSeatTaken
'Left behind' All shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. Only digitally added element is the glow on ET's chest which I illustrated on. I used my trusty old Tin foil to make the city lights in the background and a log for the hillside. #photography #scifi #miniatures
One year ago today I posted this miniature Pans Labyrinth photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets... #panslabyrinth #photography #miniatures #guillermodeltoro
Okay everyone. It's September. I'll be going to bed now. You know what to do.
Well, ππ½πππππππ, the top 5 Nintendo Switch games are the 5 Legend of Zelda games made for it! πΊοΈ πΊοΈ πΊοΈ πΊοΈBreath of the Wild π»Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch πΊοΈSkyward Sword HD π»Tears of the Kingdom πΊοΈEchoes of Wisdom
I must be an unconventional fan. I π³π¦π’πππΊ like ice puzzles; I have no problems with any of the series' water temples; I absolutely consider the Divine Beasts to be "dungeons"; I enjoyed the 1:1 motion controls and adored Fi; I love The Temple of the Ocean King and consider it one of my favorites...
Normalize making up words when youβre naming streets!!
'Kane' All shot using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. Only digitally added element is the light glow on Kanes helmet headlamp which I digitally illustrated in the rest is all real. #alien #photography #miniatures
I would love the chance to make more friends that share my love for the series! π₯°
I met one of my best friends during orientation week for Pharmacy School when, while we were both waiting to talk to IT about our new school computers, I mentioned I was making a Let's Play of Majora's Mask on YouTube and he just started gushing about it too and we just went on and on. π
"His eyes are ghastly beads in which there is no light - like holes in a grinning skull! His face is like leprous parchment, yellow skin strung tight over protruding bones! His nose - there is no nose!" All shot using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. #thephantomoftheopera #photography
'Dagobah' One year ago today I posted this miniature Star Wars photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets... #starwars #miniatures #photography #scifi
"This is how I'll remember you; surrounded by winter, forever young, forever beautiful. Rest well, my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish...best served cold." All shot using real figures and miniature sets... #mrfreeze #photography #batman
They kinda almost did with Link's Crossbow Training. π But, no. Never a Meroid Prime viewing angle. Stick to either the top-down perspective or normal, 3Κ³α΅-person, free camera control perspective.
People like that are spineless cowards that use the anonymity and reach of the internet as a tool to congregate, find people that affirm their bigotry beliefs, and then spread them wherever they can, when otherwise, they would've been overwhelmed by prevailing wisdom the deprecates those beliefs.
This is flippin' amazing! Really cool work! Honestly, after getting that request, I would've thought you had a LOT more exposure and job offers than what you have now. π
3/3 I then worked on lighting the scene, added a green light below & used some real smoke, then I created a second photo of the tear in the egg using a piece of black card that I cut into shape & then backlit with a green light & smoke. Stitched the two photos together & viola! Job done!
2/3 I used a real chickens egg and stuck some spots onto it then painted it grey, used some rubber carpet gripper for the mesh, sprayed it and then set up the scene by hanging the egg on a wire and then placing the mesh underneath...
1/3 Some time ago I was asked by a French movie magazine if I could recreate the iconic Alien poster using my miniature photography skills, it's one of my all time favourite movies so I jumped at the chance and obviously I had to do it practically, here's the final image made only from 2 photos...
At first glance, I zeroed in on this ladder and, for unknown reasons, instantly thought, "Oooh! Did they make a Legend of Zelda-themed edition of the Chutes and Ladders board game? π²" π
Why does it feel like a lot more stuff is being bought, used, and then returned in "new" condition? π
'Mark 1' All shot practically (except the chest plate light which I added a digital glow to) using real figures, lighting and miniature sets.
The Toxic Avenger is clearing medical debt as marketing for the movie.
Maybe they'll explain why Hawlucha is only NOW getting a Mega Evolution. π€
'How to train your Xenomorph' One year ago today I created this miniature photo using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. The glow on Mantis antennae was digitally illustrated in.
Sometime ago, I found this app that lets you do a whole buncha stuff with QR codes. If that is something you might find interesting or useful. π play.google.com/store/apps/d...
Lol π I sit corrected. π
Ain't ghosts supposed to be white, not black? Is that racist? π¦
100Ωͺ I remember soon after The Wind Waker was released, everyone was super disappointed and pissed off because of the art style. And now? It's hailed as one of the best in the series! It takes time for a game's true legacy to become apparent.
Shakala! Itβs Hestu! πͺ #zelda #art
While feeling pressure about your work certainly displays a level of respect and passion in your craft, it doesn't really belong in an activity you do for pleasure. Too much can be a detriment to your enjoyment as well as your health. What I'm saying is, your stuff rocks! No pressure necessary. π
I love her! π I can confidently say that Telma is my favorite character from Twilight Princess. π Her strong sense of justice, her compassion for those injured, her "no-nonsense" attitude towards the Hyrule Castle Town guards, and her flirtatious behavior with Link and Renado. ππ β β β β β
"Hello?...Yeah, yeah that's nice. Gotta' go!" One year ago today I posted this miniature Jurassic Park photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. (The rain I digitally added in the rest is all real)
All really cool art of, what my friend would call, shmexy Link. ππ That 2nd one though, it looks like a really awkward sword swing. π
I'll agree QR codes are kinda old in tech years, but they're still a super quick and simple way to disseminate information. And, you're right, if you want people to do anything, you better give 'em a reason. π What's also cool is you can stylize your codes. They don't all need to look the same! π
If I get even one mention of politics in a text message, the number is instantly getting blocked. Don't care if you're democrat, republican, or Jesus Christ. Blocked.
And once you have the code, you can pretty much put it anywhere. I once made a fill-in-the-grid puzzle that you scanned at the end to get the "prize." π
You know. It's really amazing the kinda shit you can do with QR codes. And the fact that almost everyone has a device that can read and make use of them? It's just kinda mind blowing. π
"He's one of mine. I want him back on his feet." ~ "Maybe he will be, or maybe we'll just sell the parts for scrap. That's up to us. You see, Robocop's off warranty." All shot using real figures, lighting and miniature sets
What the hell would make them believe that? It fundamentally doesn't make sense! π One encompasses the other. You can't write without thinking, but you can think without writing.
"I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do." One year ago today I posted this miniature Terminator 2 scene I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets.
#DoctorWho? This is one for the ππππππ πππππΏ to take note of! π
Hey! That's Urbosa's line!
'Shopping Maul' Yes I did, and No, I won't apologise! All shot using real figures, lighting and miniatures
I've taught myself all this from scratch from experimenting and putting a lot of passion and commitment into it. I had zero experience using lighting or how to use my camera properly before deciding to do this type of photography. I'm still learning everyday. I hope my passion shows in my work
I utilise household items for special effects like foil for water, cotton wool for fire, rocks from the garden as mountains, broom heads for wheat fields and anything else I spot that has use to turn into something else. Some sets I illustrate and print out, some items I physically make.
During Covid I decided to photograph recreations of movie scenes in miniature with the rule that everything had to be practically shot. No green screen, no cgi, (only a tiny bit of digital work like taking wires & joints out) so as to give the illusion that what you are seeing aren't miniatures...
"Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!" One year ago today I posted this miniature Nightmare Before Christmas photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets #photography #miniatures

I was sold when Tears of the Kingdom released!
Lol π I guess he is better than the jackasses that rate products β ββββ based entirely on their own fuckups. π
Nice! Only 97% of a penny a page! Sweet deal! π

It's time for my weekly roundup. All my miniature practically shot photos posted this week in one big bundle. Hope you enjoyed the selection this week. You can take a look at the behind the scenes of each image on my original posts.
My main hang-up is that he still gave it β β β ββ. π
Randomly looking at the Greek alphabet and thought it strange. The names given to the gen 6 remakes of the 3Κ³α΅ gen, main-line PokΓ©mon games were ALPHA Sapphire and OMEGA Ruby. But I noticed that lΜ²oΜ²wΜ²eΜ²rΜ²-Μ²cΜ²aΜ²sΜ²eΜ² alpha (Ξ±) was used in Alpha Sapphire while Omega Ruby used uΜ²pΜ²pΜ²eΜ²rΜ²-Μ²cΜ²aΜ²sΜ²eΜ² omega (Ξ©) instead! ππ€
Majora's Mask 3D The Wind Waker Oracle of Ages/Seasons The Minish Cap Four Sword Adventures I'll also go back to a few more games primarily for story bits. The middle and end of Link Between Worlds. The starting area for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Sky Keep in Skyward Sword. π₯°β€ππ₯°
πππ lol Probably. π
'Bruce' All shot practically using real figures, lighting and my old faithful tin foil for water and cotton wool for water splashes... #photography #miniatures #jaws #practicaleffects
Never played GoldenEye 007 on the N64, but I played a LOT of Perfect Dark and remember being surprised by how much from the two games looked exactly the same. I was also πππΌπππ surprised when I saw that Perfect Dark was rated M while GoldenEye was only rated T! πππ
Sometimes I wonder. If "The Legend of Zelda" and the resulting series had never been conceived back in the 80's and instead was designed nowadays, I wonder what everything would look like. π€ Like, would they still have chosen to make the main antagonist a giant pig monster?
I am not tired of Game-Key Cards because I can appreciate the business decision that led to a publisher opting for this form of game distribution and I don't erroneously view their use as a personal attack on me or other consumers.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
This is just making me want them to release Donkey Kong 64 on the Switch's Nintendo Classics NOW even more! π
@serebii.bsky.social Uhh... Google is up to something...
Lindsey Stirling, yes?
I'll play along. Just give me a virgin vodka! ππ
"Where's your kid now, Sheriff?" Always wanted to have a go at the most stressful scene in movie history. All shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniatures. The trash going into the incinerator in the background is foil and the incinerator inferno is cotton wool. #photography
Am I still invited if I have a medically based reason for not drinking alcohol? π π
Sakurai. π
Ummm.... what is "Play with U?" Do I want to know? π
The story ALL. THE. WAY! They did such a great job on the story in Age of Calamity, I can only imagine the AMAZING job they can do telling the events of a terrible war that was merely hinted at in Tears of the Kingdom. π
One year ago today I posted this miniature Donnie Darko photo I created, all shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniature sets
I wonder if Waluigi will ever receive his own game?
@sora-sakurai.bsky.social is savage! π #KirbyAirRiders
"You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility." All shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. #alien #photography #scifi
Super excited! I played the original game on the GameCube to DEATH completing the entire achievement board thing! π There was a good while where me and one of my friends would play, at least a little bit of, it every time we hung out. We did a LOT of City Trial, so I'm really glad that is returning!
I played the original on the GameCube to DEATH! ππ It was super fun. It also had this "achievement board" with this huge board full of hidden achievements and, when you cleared one, all the neighboring ones opened up and showed what you had to do to clear it. And some blocks unlocked new stuff.
No. It still has split-screen multiplayer. If you check out the eShop details, it lists "Number of Players: 1-4" This is referring to the "Number of Players" on 1 system.
One year so today I posted this miniature Pennywise photo I created using real lighting, figures and miniatures
The "lore" is pretty much limited to it's introduction as a means to explain it's "discovery." After that, they don't give a shit. π
I hope they like what they see.
"He wants the Precious. Always he is looking for it. And the Precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have it." All shot practically using real figures, lighting and miniature sets #gollum #lordoftherings #photography
It's time yet again for my weekly round up, all my practically shot miniature photos posted this week in one big bundle. Hope you enjoyed the selection this week: Jurassic Park Jaws The Dark Knight Alien Return of the Jedi UP The Mandalorian All BTS shots can be seen in original posts
They are "stuck" on the Wii U because it was Nintendo's active videogame console when HD remasters of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were developed. Four Sword Adventures is "stuck" on the GameCube. A Link Between Worlds and TriForce Heros are "stuck" on the Nintendo 3DS. WW & TP aren't special.
