Some pictures from today. It looks like there I will train another doller here^^ There was another photographer with us - hope to see her work soon!

I took part at local festival AVA Expo (Any Visual Art Expo), held a week ago in St. Petersburg. It was the first time I took my newborn Pumpkingirl to public.

We're fundrize a new HUDGE project

A year ago I saw images of "female" robots on Deviant Art and thought, how cool whould be to create such a thing in real life. I'm a prop maker and I know, how to create such a thing. Also I found interesting electronic systems: a glasses that can provide a good image and can fit inside of the mask, small cameras...

I was inspired by creations of Vermin Star on Deviant art:

And I have an idea: create a real life avatar and use the cameras to make a real life tird person quest! And make photos and videos of both what a person inside sees and what is happening outside. By the way, the avatar will have it's own voice too!

Based on his images and our kigurumies, we desided to make our ownset of robots with all the features I've mentioned.

The most interesting part is that the avatars will perform a simple everyday tasks and make an every week interviews with pedestrians, that will be broadcasted live on stickcam. Some nesessary devices are already on it's way to me. But I need to improve them and make some new ones.

But it's an expencieve thing: several suits, made of plastic and resin, all texturised and with a high-level of details! So I desided to make it thorugh croudfunding, here is the project page.

Also there are rewards for the founders too, from the ordinary images to a working suit. By the way, I already bought some electronics to apply: voice changer, test-quality videoglasses and camera for one of the suit.

Aoi at FreakFest. Part 8

Strange vision meet Aoi on the other side.

Everything around loocked like a room of mage or okkultist. Aoi's unsteady hand touched a chaotic-built cage, enceasing a golden insect.

She explored new scenery. White and gold.

And the only creatures, wathing her was scarry dolls from another dimention.


The end


P.S. We still can not deside if that world was real, or it was just a dream.

Aoi at FreakFest. Part 6

Aoi kneeled down and touched a small thing near her leg.

The wind... Looking to it was exciting.

After severall seconds of watching picture changed it's shape and Aoi recognized some 3D human shapes around, which finally transformed into living people. And bicycles.

The surrounding was so colorful, that Aoi felt being 2D for a second. The feeling she never experience for a while.

She also felt that bicycles try to speak to her, but anime character can't understand bicycle's language.

There was a door-shaped hole behind one of them. The explorer's passion of our heroine couldn't let her ignore it. Even after the nomber of other experiaces.

Aoi at FreakFest. Part 5

Light became stronger and Aoi could hardly see what is around her.

When she was accustomed to it, she saw paintings. Some was scarry.

Some kawaii dobutsu dropped from celling.



A small thing loocked to Aoi. She kneeled down and touched it.

Aoi at FreakFest. Part 4

"Push me" said the button.

The light gone. And a strange creaturecame from the dark.

Luckily, someone turned on a candle.

Aoi's reflection smiled to Aoi, who didn't realized, that there was no mirror before. May be, it was the reflection who light up the light?

Aoi turned around. Light became stronger.
