What started as a simple single shot (as shown below) to recreate an existing meme, became a full-blown self-sustaining photostory because me and a couple of mutuals in Final Fantasy and figure collecting got very very carried away 😂
You can check out the main photostory and its additional parts in the same deviation above here.
Hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I had fun editing and putting them together into his comic-page format :XD:

This photostory took 5 years to be told.
But better late than never at all.
I've placed all the links to all 6 pages in the main cover deviation below,
and you can also read what happened and why 5 years in the deviation's description:
Now that I've told their story, my job is now done, and I am fulfilled.
I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I had putting them together.

AsmusToys Vote Campaign -Revisit-
To catch up on what I'm talking about:
The last known traction I got was a whole 2 weeks ago. Now the number sits squarely at the unbudging 50, despite my consistent posting in various places (FB, IG, TW, dA). Previously I was quite optimistic that things would pick up- now it seems I've been deluding myself, thinking that people would actually go out to support the work of someone they knew (or at least liked the works enough to support).
Well, the recent outcome has proven me wrong. Not the first time humanity disappointed me on things, though ngl, I was expecting the outcome to be better than this.
Will I still continue shoot and post?
Yes - toy photography is my one therapeutic outlet, and I ain't gonna give it up now.
Will I still join future competitions?
I'll have to study the structure of the competition more thoroughly now before diving into it; I'm very anal when it comes to art competitions (which is why I don't participate much), and looks like I'll have to apply the

AsmusToys? Who's that?
If you're wondering who's AsmusToys, they're the toy-making folks from Taiwan, who is licensed to produce 1/6 posable figurines of characters from the DMC universe.
Why do you want to win?
A little back story:
My first time entering a toy photography competition was for the Fanforge Nendoroid toy photography competition back in April, hosted by FanForFans and GoodSmile (GSC).
Technically, most of the pros (and amateurs) lost to some Nendo-ful account (GSC is biased, we all acknowledged that). But it was
2020 - On the winds of change
I got amused reading my last written journal in 2019.
If 2017 was 18 levels of hell, 2019 was triple the amount of pain and suffering.
My job of 7 years finally took a toll on my mental health - some frequent migraine attacks and a toxic workplace ruled by toxic people and being surrounded by no one I called my tribe, finally prompted me to quit my job of 7 years. My last day was last month February 5 2020.
Still the best decision I made till today, for the new decade.
That said, I don't know if I will still be as active here on dA - it's becoming another digital wasteland. Most of the artists I followed have either moved on to Artstation, or to Twitter and Instagram.
Myself, I'm on Twitter (for mostly DMC-related postings), IG for my new hobby called toy photography, and eventually, I'll open up an Artstation for my portfolio.
I still need to get a job, but one that that does kill my soul like the previous one did.
So if you like, you can follow me there. No rush.
