Agent!!
First, I ended up here because of your incredible entries into the photo challenges this month and boy am I glad I did! Even though I’ve got some catching up to do, I at least saw your creation of Veyronna’s outfit!! I am truly inspired! I have just gotten a mini myself and was disappointed searching for clothes and accessories so I’m pretty sure I’ll have to make some myself as well. You’ve done an
excellent job!! This shot is awesome!!!
Such a sad story as well, but also very well written and it portrays in the images too! Impressive work!

Hey limedoll! Thank you for the praise and welcome to the world of minis!
Mini clothes is a pain. If you want to buy clothing I can recommend Ekia. They usually have a good selection but their freight costs are high, at least up to me in Canada. If you go the purchasing route, make sure you're aware of sizing. Under the assumption you got yourself a Phicen/TBLeague body, there is a wide array of body types. Just compare the chest and thighs of Veyronna and Trenii for a good example! All of my minis are sets or have purchased clothing except Veyronna, Trenii, and Glissa.
If you're going to go the route of making clothing let me recommend buying some trim and starting simple. Simple can be like Trenii's outfit which took no time at all. I knew there was a risk I'd ruin her clothing with the blood so I wasn't going to risk anything fancy. The top is simply a loop, and the bottom was an early attempt which is a loop closed with a tiny snap at the back. Glissa's outfit is also mainly trim plus a little chain and jump rings. Still very simple but very good results in my opinion. Veyronna's outfit... I'm in no hurry to try something like that again any time soon! Very pleased with the result, though!
Whatever direction you go you'll find helpful friends in the mini forum!

“Well then, that’s just more for me!” smiled Glissa, slicing herself another piece off the cake.

“I must say,” added Veyronna,
“that your insatiable appetite is most fascinating. If you were hollow I still do not know where it would all go.”

“You think it’s interesting now, just wait until you see all that sugar start to kick in,” said Saffee slowly as she clutched at her stomach.

“Glissa, do you think you can climb-” started Evey.
“Don’t worry about it, I got this one,” interjected Aneka, drawing an arrow from her quiver. She aimed at the button far above them and fired.

As always, her aim was true and the machine whirred to life.

The Computer
Part 2
What appeared on the screen was enough to put a fright into all of them.
“
AAAAAAAH!”

The image of Arachne’s face on the screen was unexpected but everyone quickly realized it was only an image and they shared an awkward chuckle.

“This is great! A way to communicate with the outside world!” exclaimed Saffee once they'd shared their embarrassment.

“Good, because our attempt to fix that tablet wasn’t going anywhere,” replied Glissa.

“I GOT IT TO START AND I CAME IN TO FIND YOU PUNCHING IT!” exclaimed Aneka, exasperated.

Glissa shrugged in shame.
“...It wouldn't connect to wifi and I lost my temper…”

“It's okay, Glissa,” replied Evey calmly from the cup she'd fallen in.
“We have this now. We don't need the tablet. Let's work together and get this thing figured out.”

Oh oh, they've discovered the computer. Once they dig out all your passwords and credit card numbers, let us know what they buy for themselves!

Pfft… passwords…
Now that Agent’s dead, I’m sure he could care less who’s wracking up the debt!
Unless he’s gotta work it off in the Afterlife…

I was going to make a comment about 'how much could the little things spend?' But... Most of the people reading this have probably bought mini clothing!
They'll max my card as fast or faster than Arachne! On the bright side, you need the code off the back to use the card info saved to Google so only Arachne has access to that since she has the card. Can you imagine seven women with access to my card!? Arachne will likely be sharing what she purchased soon enough. Look forward to that!

No! Don't suggest that! I see death as the final escape from capitalism! Let me be free! Because I know if Arachne can work me beyond death she will!
Someone in a thread somewhere posted some of their photo contest entries with the thought that it was less likely that someone would go sorting through old contest threads and more likely that they would be seen in their own threads. I liked that idea. Going forward I'm first going to catch up on the past year of contests and when that's done I'll start posting them at the end of every month. I regularly enter into the contest on UKLDF as well so you'll get to see those too! These posts will be split between here and Arachne's Domesticated thread, depending on the dolls involved.
I did enter my first contests in March 2023 but unfortunately I hadn't started my file organization system for dolls yet so they kind of got lost. Being that I was so busy with Arachne that first month I think most of the photos were ones that I'd already taken that happened to fit the theme and I entered what I could. However in April we went nuts! ...Not that you can tell from this thread because I hadn't gotten very far into minis yet. Poor Saffee still had her pale body and horrible Barbie clothes!

Just where do these frosty spiders keep coming from!? It's probably something to do with that damn drow that moved in... I think she has it in for me!
Looking back I kind of hate this photo, but I was making due with what I had at the time! I'm not sure if I had the idea for the resistance yet (the first story with Evey came out in May), and the name 'True North Clan' was still months away. But, for the terrible clothing and mismatched skin tones (fun fact: Saffee's original pale body is now Evey's) this photo would be the beginning of a story that was realized in May and led to great things like my collab with ShadowFun and my most complex mini shoot yet, Saving Saffee. It all started here!
After writing this post I suppose some of these will turn into me reminiscing about the past. lol.
