Fuchsia is the hardest word to spell, I swear

Anyhow, I finished a fuchsia haired black panther today.

I'm quite happy with how this one came out! Though black is a pain in the neck to photograph well.






Isn't he cute?!



And once again Kali insists on being in the photo shoot.

That hair is really striking on the black fur! :3 He's so femmy, I love it! <3

Anyway, here are the rest of your icons.

The sewing one was really hard, and it's still not that good! Sorry! >3

Aww, I like the sewing one! They are all spiffy and adorable!

The happy one is going to scare people. *giggles* It's so happy it's gone 'round the bend, I think.

The costume is good though.

I see you are maintaining your cat-in-photo quota, too. Good job.

Magnificent work!

If I may ask, how did you attach the wig so cleanly? :)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

I sewed it on. There's not any special trick to it, really.

Wor, Oi wish I woz clever loike yow, Brian.

Just a thought on the photography, though. You're quite right about black being a bar-steward to shoot, but there are ways. Yes, there are ways. One trick I find very useful is to fool the camera into exposing just for the black rather than for the whole scene. The easiest way to do this is zoom in (if you have zoom) or step up close so the black fills the entire frame, then focus and hold the speed and aperture settings (or make a note of them, and set up manually), then back out to take the picture. What you'll then get is a correctly exposed black subject, but an overexposed and washed-out background (not always a bad thing). Does it work when I do it? (The subject is not even slightly furry, I admit, but the principle holds good)
