Ryland, the New Guy

Well, I finally decided that my new guy, mini SartoriaJ Jude head (on the Iple FID body) will fit into the Glade world, now I just have to nail down his character, although I did get a name. His name is Ryland, Ry to those he is close to. 

I have a couple of ideas for his character, the first one is closely tied to Laurion, so decided to take them out for some pics today. Laurion wasn't cooperating very well. Or rather I was having difficulties with the light balance. ……………..then during editing I found some other issues. Seems Laurion's attention span wasn't very good. I imagine he does have a lot of things on his mind, lol!

 The second shot of them together had some arm posing issues, so I had to get creative with the edits. My other idea for his character involves Nox, so I need to wait until he gets here before deciding fully how to incorporate Ry into the story, but it will be fun playing with him in the meantime trying to figure out more about him.

And one more just because shot of Ry by himself. 

A new guy..........

A break from the regular crew of the Glade to introduce a new guy, who I'm not sure will fit in the Glade or into another world. He's SartoriaJ's mini Jude head in amber beige, with the LeStat face up. I got the full LeStat outfit and boots as well. This morning I decided to tackle getting the outfit on. I had read previous reports from other owners about the boots not fitting well, so was a little worried about how big of a job it would be to try and get them on. The reports didn't disappoint, they were a BEAR to get on, but get them on I did and armed with tweezers got them buckled as well. He will not be taking them off anytime in the near future (sorry mini Jamie).  I have his head on an Iple FID muscle body, the only Iple FID body I have in RS. The match is good. I was a little worried about that from some of the posts I've read from other owners as well.  I might like him a little better on the model body I think, but don't have one of those yet.  He might work on the Raccoon body as well, haven't tried that yet, as Koehlon doesn't want to share. We tried a couple of wigs from our stash. I first put a blonde Monique "Junior" on him, and while I like the style, I'm not sure I'm sold on him as a blonde.

His eyebrows give him a very exotic feel about him. As a blonde he looks like he could be of Viking descent. I love the LeStat shirt...…….the pants however lace up the back and don't fully cover that Iple muscle body tush. There is quite a bit of gapping. I imagine they would fit the model body better, but as stated before, I don't have one of those yet.

The second wig I tried on him was a Monique Pretty girl in Ginger brown. I like this color much better for him I think.

He still needs a name and a storyline. I do like him in the period clothing though, so he will probably show up in the Glade again at some point...……..or I guess he could fit into the Outlander world as well. If he was normal resin he could make a good Lord John on the model body. A pic below of the full look including the gorgeous, but hard to get on boots! 

Speak to me Shy

I'm a little stalled with the story telling, so thought maybe if I took Shy out for some new photos she would speak to me a bit. She got some new clothes from Robyn (Period Threads) a short while ago and I thought it was about time she got to wear some of them.

I was hoping the blue would go well against her gray skin tone and I think it does. I'm really pleased with the color on her.

Her coloring is so different from anything else I have, and that's one of the things I love about her. I ordered a mint Daisy in the Raccoon Doll "Sale" a few months ago and she is "queued for shipment" so I'm excited to see her in person as well.

Just one more of her striking face.

Sabia- An Imminent Arrival

She was looking forward to a quiet evening with her mate. Sabia had gotten the wine out and donned Hauk's favorite gown and was just waiting for him to return. All was fairly quiet in the Glade.  Not much progress had been made finding more information out about Nan. Her sources have proven to be unfruitful so far. Laurion was still away.  They were still waiting on Shye to arrive.

It was a good time to catch up and enjoy her exor's company. After all these years, he still stole her breath when he walked in a room.

The past few weeks had taken them in different directions for a good part of each day. She needed the time alone with Hauk.  

She had the night all planned...……..good wine, good food, good conversation...…...and then turning in early, and not with sleep in mind ...………….

Wait...………..was that a noise outside the window? What is it???? 

DRAT that bird...…….it appears Shay's arrival is imminent. The evening may not turn out quite like she had planned after all.
