Krampus Photoset on Ghoul Girls

Posted on April 26, 2012 by VampireKitten in Ghoul Girls, Updates | Leave a comment

Posted a new photoset up on Ghoul Girls last week. I wasn’t sure if I should post it soon or wait till December around the holidays which is what it was meant for. I needed a December page for the 2013 calendar and after much deliberation I decided to go with the “Krampus”. The Krampus is a mythical creature who accompanies St. Nicholas during Christmas that warns and punishes bad little boys and girls, occasionally eating them. So it was a bit of a stretch, but it beats creating a “Black Christmas” or “Santa’s Slay” photoset and it’s a demon/monster so I think we did alright.

I shot my friend Nikki, who has never had a set of her very own and was always shot in a group of other models. We went up to Rim of the World where another one of my friends lives and shot in her backyard after the first snow of the season (in February). So we had a late winter and I couldn’t get the set done before 2012 rolled around.

Mass Effect 3

Posted on March 15, 2012 by VampireKitten in Video Games | Leave a comment

I have the greatest boyfriend in the world, no really, I do. With all the money I have been putting into my business (Ghoul Girls) I thought I was going to have to wait to play Mass Effect 3 until my next paycheck. He surprised me by taking me to the midnight launch to pick me up a copy!

Based on what I played from Mass Effect 3, I am thoroughly impressed. While I am disappointed in some of the character models (and voice acting), I am really glad to see that my choices from the first two games make a huge impact on this one.

Despite reports with character import issues, I didn’t have to rebuild my character. However, I did have to make a few minor vanity tweaks to my Shepard because she didn’t seem to translate well to the updated graphics. I feel a huge sense of accomplishment following the series from the first game. Being able to import your own personal Shepard from two games is something that I hope more games do in the future. Needless to say, I am attached to this character more so than I have been in any other game I have ever played. The story is already extremely emotional and with my long “service” to the game I feel as if I truly am connected with the story and the character.

The overall control is fluid and I don’t feel like I am “lost in space” as I did in the other games, running around with what felt like no purpose at times. For those with a Kinect, I feel like the Kinect is an overwhelmingly excellent added bonus to the controls. Moving characters and making commands during a firefight is more intense and only adds to the overall immersion. I love that I can tell Liara to use “Singularity” and Kaiden to “Overload” at the drop of a hat without having to Pause my experience. Everything feels much more controlled and exciting than it did in the past.

Also… I haven’t beat it yet, so everyone be kind and quit complaining/talking about the ending.

“Grim Fae” Photoset on Ghoul Girls

Posted on March 7, 2012 by VampireKitten in Ghoul Girls, Updates | Leave a comment

There is a new photoset up on Ghoul Girls. If you haven’t heard about Ghoul Girls, it’s a horror pin-up photography project that I have been working on since around 2008. This year I am excited to announce that I will be taking Ghoul Girls to a couple of events in 2012. I will have photo prints available along with handmade goods from my Etsy shop.

I recently shot with singer and mermaid performer, Traci Hines for the newest set on Ghoul Girls, “Grim Fae”. It’s my first real dive into more creepy fantasy rather than horror characters, so I hope I hit the mark. You should be seeing a lot more variation in the Ghoul Girls photoshoots in the coming months.

Etsy Store Now Open.

My Etsy store is now open and filled with quite a few little things to sate your appetite until I get some masks and more Steampunk-y things in a few days.

My store is called SteamWolf Symphony and it would be really awesome sauce if you could head on over, favorite the store and ‘Like’ its newborn Facebook page: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SteamWolf & http://www.facebook.com/pages/SteamWolf-Symphony/322697054423486 . My store is not a symphony by any normal standards of the word, but a harmonious combination of elements and fascination.

Help Crowdfund Ghoul Girls!

Ghoul Girls is now crowdfunding for equipment, makeup and more on Indie Go Go! If you have ever wanted to contribute or help with Ghoul Girls now is your chance.

Our Story

Ghoul Girls got it’s roots around 2007, I wondered how I could mix a few of my favorite things (Horror, Pin-Up, Photography) to make something very different and very unique.The idea was there and after a lot of brain eating… err, I mean brain storming the first official photo shoot happened in October 2008. Ghoul Girls was an experiment that started growing into an even larger monster (pun intended).

It started out with a handful of creative people as a way to expand on their skills as photographers, makeup artists and models. Over time I began buying more and more cheap equipment just to keep growing. This year Ghoul Girls finally became a registered company and in the past we have self published a 2009 and 2011 calendar, but we are working towards being able to publish one each year on top of put together a coffee table book with past and future photo sets.

I know this is a tad bit late, but I recently got my first Daily Deviation on Deviantart! Thank You `RockstarVanity, I <3 you so much!
Back in July, I attended the LOJ Masquerade Ball and finally got the photos back from that. Friday night we went as a Fancy Rat and Aviator Cat. Saturday night we were an entire group of dragons. All of the masks and the majority of the costumes were made by us. We also plan on updating and wearing the dragons to the West Hollywood Halloween Parade on October 31st, we are adding LEDs to parts of them.

Until then you can enjoy all of the lovely new photos I just uploaded by ~MikeRollerson of our Superhero Disney Princess Group from San Diego Comic-Con 2011.
