Description

Watched the first Lord of the Rings last night for the first time in 10 years. I've seen them all, but I have no idea why I haven't watched them in so long. :XD:

So anywhoo, my sister and I were instantly inspired to grab our old bows from the corner of my room, aaand proceeded to do a photo shoot all day today. The shoot actually took forevvveerrrr to do for some reason, plus it was like 90 degrees today. >_<

But! I love how the shots came out. This was my favorite one. I was looking up other people's elf photos on here, and I was inspired by this beautiful pose here --> [link]
I knew I just had to try it. And it was tough, lemme tell ya. It's not easy to bend in a corset like that. :XD:
It was tons of fun bringing out those bows though. Plus I got to get in touch with my Sagittarius side a little. :D

Photoshopped the elf ear on cuz I don't have any of my own yet. I plan on ordering some legit ones with a kit and everything for future costumes and such, since I am so inspired to make a whole elven fairy archer outfit now. :meow:

Got the elf ear from here: [link]

Amazing pose! So dynamic and vibrant! Laying back while shooting gives it a fantastical quality that very much complements you portraying a fantasy being. The same goes for you being barefoot, which would be out of place in a realistic picture, but which works wonderfully in a fantasy portrait. And lastly, I think the digitally enhanced ears look good. All in all, a lovely image!
