Volks 1/7 Fate T. Harlaown (Indoor Shoot)
This time I tried to avoid the white balance problem that was so prominent in my Saber Lily indoor shoot by cutting out the incandescent lights. But it seems that my fluorescent lights are too harsh (i.e. need a diffuser) and, at the same time, not bright enough (i.e. need one more). While I'm not pleased with the results, I decided to post the photos anyway as I've received much valued advice from commenters in the past. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
Volks 1/7 Fate T. Harlaown (Outdoor Shoot)
I was quite grumpy when I took Fate out of her box and gave her the once over. There are numerous issues with the figure in my possession such as poor casting hair), sloppy painting (torso) and a loose fit for the lower hand that wields one of the twin Riot Zanber blade [I'll elaborate on those when I post the indoor shoot photos].
GSC 1/7 Saber Lily ~ Evening Star
Final installment of my Saber Lily Sunday shoot. In contrast to the late morning shoot where the sun was already well overhead, the evening sun was shining in at a much more acute angle. No shadow over the face but throwing stronger shadows behind as a result.
GSC 1/7 Saber Lily ~ Afternoon Break
Last Sunday was basically Saber Lily ~ Distant Avalon Day. It rained heavily in the afternoon but I was planning to try an indoor shoot anyway. Lesson Number One: You can never have too many lights [but only if they are all the same type to avoid white balance problems]. Indoor lighting just doesn't give an image the same richness as diffused morning/evening sunlight. I basically conscripted every movable light (and broke one in the course of doing of so. orz) Lesson Number Two: It can be surprisingly dusty in what seems like a clean room. I often had to stop halfway and use the little rubber blower to remove some errant piece of dust just floated by and then just happily attached itself to the lens. After a while, I just gave up.

GSC 1/7 Saber Lily ~ Morning Blue
Having enjoyed Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon, I've always found the notion of Saber as King Arthur to be faintly ridiculous. But the richness of TYPE MOON's re-imagined mythology (including Rin x Saber), the power of the Ayako Doctrine and the unlimited fanworks (my all-time favourite being the Pregnant Servants doujin). I have no clue what's the story behind this latest Saber but GSC has certainly done a Good Job.
