Description
We all have scars that we have to bear. Some more obvious than others.I've been lucky enough to be many things in my time, a brother, a husband, a father. Things that have reaffirmed to me that despite the very nature of what I've become and all the things I've done because of it, I'm still a man, I'm still a person.
More Rafe spaaaam~ :3
and yes, he has a face up =/ it's just subtle since it's a temp one

Wow... I really like the dual nature that is rolling off of the subject. Emotions wise, there is a sense of ...melancholy coming from the character. Yet I feel as though he is content at the same time.
I also like how the subject seems pure yet marred/flawed by the scar.
Well done and keep up the good work. ^_^

i don't get the doll thing. i mean, they're not people... they're not real... they don't have emotions. it's like taking photos of dead twigs... except the twigs at least were alive at some point.

Dead twigs, first of all, don't have faces so they can't portray human emotions at all. Even if you were taking pictures of dead twigs, they don't have to be frowning for it to be a sad picture. So dolls only have one expression, but hopefully it's one that shows their personality.
Besides, these are BJDs, all of their parts -head, hair, eyes, hands, etc- are interchangeable so there's endless ways they show emotion from them without them being real people. Some people even go a step further and modify them with putty or sculpting knives.

I don't really agree with comparing them to something that's dead, given that they where never alive in the first place but either way that's where the challenge comes from; try to draw an emotion from an inanimate object.
It's the same as photographing any other subject really. No matter what it is you photograph you're still essentially trying to elicit an emotional response from the viewer so it doesn't matter if it's a 'real' person or not, if the message still gets across, that's what matters.

I knew soom didn't tint the resin in his lips; that's such a great job for a light face up! What do you use to seal yours?
