Claudia & Gerard Episode 6 STORY Is Up!

I’m working hard every day to move around and recover from my illness.  It took me a couple of weeks, but I made a new diorama the photos are below.  This bedroom will be in future episodes of Claudia & Gerard.  I hope you like this episode.   

You’ll probably notice that I decided to use my favorite filter “Army of Splat” from Filter Forge V10 on the sex photos.  Unfortunately, my dolls having sex, look awkwardly like dolls, not humans.  I’m always trying to wrap the reader into the story so they forget they’re 1/6 figures and start to see them as human.  Naked 1/6 figures have so many join lines, and lack realistic sexual body parts so it’s almost impossible to pass them as human. Plus the Integrity Toys girls I use don’t have the articulation to pose realistically in more than a few positions. So the filter turns the awkwardness into erotic art.  You get the point of what they’re doing, without being distracted.  There’s nothing worse than watching a movie or TV show and start to notice the actors acting, it throws you out of the story, and you get distracted by the real people performing their jobs. I didn’t want that here. Hope this method works for you.   Thanks so much for reading!
