The photogenic idolisation of pixel, plastic and nonsense
![]()
Here it is, the last of my available photo shoots. After this I’ll have to go out and take some more photos if I want to post more, so don’t expect a photo shoot to appear every two days anymore lol.
Ymir, or Yuumiru, is one of the characters from Queen’s Blade, a series of “combat picture books” of the Lost World series, a kind of visual traditional RPG (not the video game genre). I don’t know much about it, but I do love the illustrations :3 So here’s the photos~
This was also the same place for the second half of Meg’s photo shoot, at the Shrine of Remembrance. This was at the exact same place as Meg as well, so not much else to say, except for one of the photos here, that was taken at some memorial to immortalise some event in World War I, I think…I really should of remembered..
Nothing complex, point and shoot really. There’s enough sun (too much direct sun for my liking) so I didn’t need a tripod of any sorts.
ok! Let’s talk about how awesome this loli figure is :3
I have a thing for girls with weapons, particularly HUGE weapons and Ymir is no exception. MegaHouse has done a good job with Ymir, sculptor キバヤシノリオ (Kibayashi Norio) aka eyeup (I think…), has done an excellent job with translating the gorgeous 2D artwork of みぶなつき (Mibu Natsuki), she (I assume it’s a she) has also done artwork for Tetsudou Musume. Oh god I love her work… anyway, the actual sculpt is great, except for some visible seamlines on her hair curls, which tends to be a point interest.
The paint job is also faithful to the illustration. The soft colours of her clothes are perfect, the petticoat under the skirt also has a pearlescent shine to it. The armour parts do look a lil plain tho, same goes for the axe, I’m thinking of adding a lil more umph to them with some light weathering, but maybe some other day.
eyeup has done an amazing work with the removable parts, you get the standard removable skirt, the front chestpiece and HER PANTY (;゚Д゚) HER GODDAMN PANTY!!!. I’ll leave it to your imagination about what you can see under it :3
Ymir is fairly balanced and can stand on her own, but it really depends on how she’s holding the axe. Oh, and on the subject of holding things, her right hand is slightly movable, at turning her wrist.
Harsh sun, not a fan of that. Not much I could of done, except maybe put a screen over the light, but I tried and it gave a very weird surreal look. The background looks great with the figure in my opinion tho. Another decent photo shoot in my eyes. Had a few people look at us but nothing notable I guess.
Delicious flat chest, the very soul of lolicon. This figure has it, this figure is a must for people who like killer lolis, such as Presea of Tales of Symphonia or members of Marciano’s 12 Sisters of Coyote Ragtime Show (the only good thing about it…). MegaHouse’s Excellent Model CORE series is a pretty good line of figures judging from Ymir.

what’s with the panty shots…
If you can only shoot during midday, you should try to find a place that has a tree. I find that light filtering through a tree has a great effect. Also these photos are pretty good. Still a little harsh and makes the figure look flat, but the contrast in colour with the green grass and blue sky goes well.
And yes, girls with large weapons are awesome.
@Burberry, It’s part of the whole moe factor XD
@Adun, hmm, I’ll give that a try, gotta find the right tree tho. I might try a late afternoon shot to see how it goes as well. I agree about the harsh light, but it was also nice to get the green and blue.
You got lots of figures lately ^^
I see a commenter who does not understand panchu ^^;
And I’m getting more @_@
But I dunno when to go on a photo shoot, I’m a lil busy recently >.<
panchu shot is always good :D
i like the last picture very nice contrast
Please define “a little busy”
The picture is great and all but i think the place just doesn’t suit it.
It is better to have a setting where it is a little darker and all and you never EVER suspect a cute girl behind you with a giganto AXE!
Maybe that described setting does suit this character as i am not too sure about the personality (most definitely this suits rena-chan).
Is Ymir’s personality as innocent as Presea from Tales of Symphonia? Even so a shady setting suits a character with huge axes.
I love the hair, the colour of the eyes + hair, the pink ribbons.
the legs remind me of a pool table’s leg haha.
the quality and tone of the entire figure kinda makes the plasticky axe stand out and say I’m not good enough
@Danny, I dunno… I just don’t seem to agree that every photoshoot/post should include a cheesy panty shot, but that’s just me
@valho, that last pic was the only good one out of hte set from that location, the rest were horrible, the colours were out of whack =/
@Kirakun, I got studies now, with lots of assignments, and so does my friend, we don’t have as much free days that fall on the same day. On the contrary I do think it fits, the light colours of the figure seem to suit it, With Ymir’s body language I don’t really see it happening in a darker area, but it could work as well~
@Burberry, A pool table’s leg o_O; I am also thinking of weathering the axe a lil to give it more depth tho. In regards to the panchu shot, it’s almost mandatory in the culture, and let’s face it, most people who buy figures also like it ^^;;
Yea i guess body language suits it.
I guess i always perceived girls with big axes as unsuspecting foes hehe
hmm I find the color of this figurine is a little too pale (or maybe because of the sun?)
the figurine itself is quite cute, loli with huge weapon. I don’t really like the last picture tho (only because of the brown grasses tho hehe)
@Aya, and that is exactly why I say what I say… “it’s almost mandatory in the culture, and let’s face it, most people who buy figures also like it ^^;;” I don’t =\ and won’t encourage everything to think like that =D
pool table legs, big and stumpy XD
but anyway, not attacking anyone who have figure panty fetishes hoho
@Ron, the tone of the figure is probably meant to be soft like that… something like the black saber figure maybe?
@ron~, it’s the figure, she’s very pale compared to others, but I find it fairly nice, prolly just my taste tho. And yea…brown grass :(
@Burberry, I understand some may not like it, and I’m not forcing anyone to like it, but I like it so it’s in lol ^^; At least I didn’t post pics of her completely stripped, but I’d have to put a 18+ warning for some of the pics XD
[...] a similar pose to her original illustration by Mibu Natsuki (review with great photos of the figure here). She’s since then been pushed into the most recent character series, standing alongside [...]
