Arachne in "Nedeirra"
Arachne missed many things about her home, Menzoberranzan. The nedeirra, a party where the guests would dance to the wild rhythms of drums and pipes until they made a mistake or collapsed from exhaustion, was one of them. She had to admit that humans did have an interesting selection of music and some of them certainly had the energy to make her want to move her body, but the competition was lacking. "Agent, it's only been one song! Get up!"
This was the infamous shoot where Arachne fell. I'd come up with an incredibly ambitious idea to do a fancy dance move with her being held over my head. I had an idea to make the logistics of such a feat more reasonable and after realizing that it wasn't going to work out I made the mistake of leaving her balanced on a stool. She seemed safe enough and I don't know if the layers of fabric in her dress slipped or the silicone in her beautiful butt shifted, but something caused her to shift and lose balance. After recovering from that I scaled back my risk to basically zero. Hidden under her dress is the stool she's sitting on... Even though this is my least favorite photo shoot because of the accident I'm still pretty pleased with how the photo turned out. Here you can see the mark on her shoulder caused by her fall.

Arachne the Domestic Drow in "A Healthy Meal"
"You never eat well enough, Agent. You've had a long day at work. Sit down and relax. I'll have a fresh meal ready for you in no time."
Yep, this was the origin of the name of this thread!

This gif still makes me chuckle. I forget how many frames went into this gif but my goal was to get very smooth movement by having a high framerate. I spent a lot of time doing the movements and taking the photos but I was so focused on making the movement of her legs smooth that I ignored the rest of her! As a result her body is flopping all over, but I'm still pretty proud of the leg movement!

POV: You're a drow on the surface for the first time. I spent a lot of time trying to think of what to do with this theme before I came up with this idea. Just drow things, I guess. It didn't do very well in voting but I had fun making it.

Oh, I do love this photo!
