All day photoshoot session with Orion Nelson

(Blood and dark themed images ahead!)

Have I told you about my awesome friend and art colleague, Orion Nelson? He is a fellow artist and excels in numerous art mediums, especially drawing and crafting. He is just epic as a person, and comes up with really cool ideas for art on top of that. He's one of my major role models along with being a close friend.

  Orion had me over for the entire day, which we spent doing photoshoots. He provided wardrobe and character concepts, along with a bunch of different sets. He let me keep whatever I wanted from the photoshoot wardrobe (exceptions being a pair of boots that were borrowed, and a dress on which his adorable wife, Amy, called dibs first). That was a really nice thing, too! I kept a couple accessories, and an awesome pair of combat boots. We both had a great time, and the pictures turned out really cool. We've been wanting to collaborate for quite awhile now, and I'd say it was a HUGE success! :D We are totally going to do it again sometime!


We spent about 9 hours taking photos, and got nearly 700 before sorting and pick. Whew! He's taken the liberty of sorting the pictures into folders on the flashdrive, including highlights, the different sets/series, and his personal favourites. I thought that was really nice of him to do! I'm so eager to get the photos; I'll be sorting them out and uploading the best ones. He will be over on Monday to drop off a flash drive with the photos on it, so they will all slowly be uploaded.  EDIT: The photos are here! Here is one from each costume. View the whole collection in my dA gallery.
