More pix from an older shoot of my 'ghost vampire' doll, Nicholas Cawthorne...
Ohh he does like to look mournful. ^_~

A Little Bit of Color for Sad Faces

This is an older photo I decided to play around with in photoshop and really liked the play of color. My original intent was to desaturate and fade out the photo but the colors ended up taking over and just doing their own thing.

Here's Nicholas (pre-'ghost' makeup) and Ava...

A Ghost for Company

Rikter has...abilities.

Not everyone understands, but he can 'see' that which is not
normally there for the average person. He finds friends in ghosts,
as seen here...(if you can see his friend like he does...^_~)

Nicholas 'test shots'

Here is my Spiritdoll Abies 'revamped'! He's a vampire/ghost but wasn't quite looking the part. With some texturing I think he looks more like the walking dead he's supposed to portray. I may go with additional red tones in his face to bring out the vamp in him some more, but overall I'm really pleased with him and it was fun to go crazy texturing the whole doll ~ alot like painting on canvas which I miss doing.

Long Lost Relations

Forlorn Little Man - Spirit Doll Abies

Here's Nicholas, my Spirit Doll Abies all put together!
He's based on Jackson Rathbone's portrayal of Jasper Hale in
the movie "Twilight" - I was going for that particular look of
sadness and vulnerability.

He lost 4 fingers on his left hand today in a fall... O_o
Hope I can buy him a new hand...{{sniffles}}

The Beginning....

Nicholas...caretaker of an English Estate - BrierMoor, year 1816. He lived modestly and thought a great deal of the family of the estate. He would listen in on the family's day to day lives, 'dramas', news etc...No one ever paid much mind to him, but he knew everything about them down to the most trivial detail. Then a visitor to the family arrived one night....supposedly a long lost relative who begged to become acquainted with them. He was mysterious, odd yet compelling. The family was engrossed with him, esp. the youngest daughter.

Nicholas continued his upkeep of the estate and was in the greenhouse one day tending to the wintering plants, (he loved to grow things) when he had the strangest feeling he was being 'watched'. He couldn't find anyone nearby but the feeling was so overwhelming that he had to leave the greenhouse, completely overcome with chills. As the days went on, the feeling increased that he was being observed and/or followed....but he kept up with his work around the estate as usual. His attention to his work preoccupied him enough from thinking too much about the mysterious uneasiness that had come upon him....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The vampire 'relative' had the ability to visualize his target even though he was in his dark resting place *somewhere* on the estate...he was obsessed with the caretaker...his shy quiet-ness. He saw him as more interesting prey that way, as well as finding him extremely beautiful (which also intrigued him as he quickly learned that the people of the estate loved Nick for his warm and friendly personality, but that was the extent of it). He had found something new that pulled his senses a different direction. He had found his 'prize'.
