Idolatry Studios in conjunction with Projectcosplay.com and Firely-Path.net presents... Odin Sphere!

This photoshoot was done the Monday after Anime Expo was over.
We all packed up and met everyone at

lillyxandra's
place to get ready. The shoot went really well and everyone
did a wonderful job. The only problem we ended up facing was
being attacked by a swarm of bees! Myself, Diana, Yuriy, Vanessa
and a few others all got stung, it was crazy. I want to thank
Joellen, Matt, Laura, Khamryn, Diana, Shae, Yuriy, Bill, Vanessa,
and everyone who participated in bringing this videogame to life!
I hope you all enjoy the photos!

A very special thank you to

aitsu for doing most of the
post-production work on these. Without you I could not
have done any of this at all. I owe you most of all. Thank you!

Thank you,

- Alain

Really beautiful photography Alain! I've been looking forward to seeing these! I love the way you play with light, it's brilliant. Will there be more individual shots posted? I'd love to see more :)

Thank you very much. I'm really glad that
you liked them.

As for other photos. Yeah, there's a few more
con-photos and out-takes that are just BEGGING
to be posted. But I figured we would post the
main ones first because....well...yeah....it
was about damn time, and I'm sure Jo Ellen was
getting about ready to kill me for making her
wait so long. (Just kidding Jo)

Holy shit Alain, I fucking pissed myself, these photos are fucking AMAZING! I can't believe I was so lucky to have met you all and been able to participate with you! You made my half-finished costume look totally finished!!! :D It was so awesome working with you, and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Wait?

No! Peeing yourself is not good missy! Now you go clean that up. LOL

My brains just exploded! This project was seriously so much fun. I'm honored to work with such talented, beautiful and down right awesome people like you guys. Thank you for making us looks uber sexy!

22nd-Jul-2008 03:52 am (UTC)

Thank me? DUDE, no seriously you guys deserve
all the credit. All of you guys amazed me with
how much painstaking work you put into your
cosplay. I'm REALLLLLY glad you liked the photos.

Oh and ughh...(ew)...um...here's a napkin to clean the
bits of brain off of your computer monitor. I'm sure Matt
will be upset if you don't clean it off.

Wow... wow! Def one of the best photo shoots I have ever seen, incredible!

22nd-Jul-2008 05:44 am (UTC)

Aw man. What can I say other than thank you. My
work is nothing without the people that have helped
make it possible, and the people that have an
appreciation for photographs.

You do me too much honor.

Thank you.

What else is there to say that hasn't already been said? Great job, man. I ALWAYS look forward to your shots.

22nd-Jul-2008 06:41 am (UTC)

Thanks for coming Rey.

I'm super glad you liked the photos. I wish I could've seen you longer than the few minutes when we ran into each other at AX.

I am just floored dude, absolutely floored! It's like looking at something and having your brain collapse because nothing nothing nothing should be that beautiful captured with mere film.

22nd-Jul-2008 06:44 am (UTC)

Thank you very much. Hope your brain is ok?

The wait was definitely more than worth it, these photos are incredibly gorgeous Alain!
My favorites are your streaming the sunlight through Laura's red gem, it adds such a beautiful effect that cannot be CGed, and the soft/warm lighting in all the shots do reflect the gameplay colors perfectly :)

22nd-Jul-2008 06:45 am (UTC)

Yeah that's definately something that can't be mimicked digitally. And plus, why resort to that when nature provides us with gorgeous lighting all day long. The sun was my friend that day.

binkxy

I don't even know what to say! These are amazing and I was so happy to be in this group. It was totally worth all the effort and I had a great time at AX and at the shoot (excepting the bees because that kind of sucked) I can't wait to do it again with Courtney!
Love to you and Laura and Kham!
Come visit soon!

lady_mei

Abso-fuckin-lutely beautiful! Third one down is my favorite of the bunch! Her expression, pose, the lighting, everything is so perfect! I'd pick another favorite but they're all so amazing!
lol @ the ice cream
Great work! Can't wait to see what's coming next. :)

22nd-Jul-2008 09:06 am (UTC)

That was all Lillyxandra's doing.
