cute

Is that background a stage?

It's a combination of studio shooting and (HDR) location photography.

Ah okay! I was really curious because it looks real. I was wondering if it was or not, because I would not ware my suit in a location like that, if it were real.

Looks great though! Really hard to tell it's a stage.

Can I be his date instead? <3

Great HDR work, did you blend the layers by hand or use assisting software? I love how North looks so out of place versus his background, it perfectly accentuates the scene.

The background is done with a Photoshop HDR merge using 4 RAW images.
Combining the background with the studio shoot was the most challenging part actually. There is the floor, the lamp post, the facade, North, and the stray dog.
It took me 5 hours, 46 Photoshop layers and 1,5 bottles of wine :)

Nice! I don't believe my older version of Photoshop has that feature, though I have yet to really experiment with HDR photography my self. You did a great job keeping the dynamics of the lighting the same between the different parts of the image. I had assumed the lamp post was at the building location... Your wine consumption however is lacking, please try harder next time.

Cheers! *clinks*

His date is walking away from him to the left side =P

Nice work! Good to see some new things from North again!

Thanks! Oh and there will be more interesting 'North things' coming up soon :)

I have to admit, my first thought seeing this was, "well, it looks like the demon might have 'visited' that location before the date." :) Very nicely done, as usual.

Aaah I had my thoughts on if the background was HDR... Simply FANTASTIC Aw, I'd fangirl scream at you if I'd ever met you :3

Well prob went north but who knows :(

But very nice!

nice photo!

Awww, so sad. I would take him out anytime!

hey north (or ezwolf), which ever u prefer :)

im gonna be in the same vehicle as you, khord kitty, black foot, claw furry, and my two handlers!

im trying to figure out the easiest way to make the car pooling work cus black foot's motor coach is huge and will get stuck if he goes into NYC to pick u both up!

And the traffic is probably gonna be bleh!

I know, i lived in the city for a few months.

I had suggested to khord, that maybe u both could meet in fort lee, and being just over the bridge would make all our lives easier!

D'awwwwww

His date is actually with me. He just doesn't realize it yet.

Oh? :)
And what do you have planned for him?

In brief...

What started with a simple handshake in greeting in the amber lamplight quickly a hug. Quick, sincere, but lacking the depth of something more than a friendly hello. In that moment, I noticed that the glow from above gave an almost honey color to his fur.

We walked slowly from one puddle of light to another. The restaurant we'd agreed on was only a few kilometers away. A good stretch of the legs to work up an appetite. We talked of all the usual things one talks about on a first date. Where we were from, what we do, things we enjoy. All the things that, when it comes down to it, really don't mean much. They're fine for friendship, but they wither and pale in the light of something deeper and more meaningful.

As we talked and ate, I found myself staring at his lips more and more. I watched the supple, black lines slide across ivory and pink as spoke and smiled. I was almost afraid to look into those eyes, as crisp and deep as a cerulean arctic sky. It would be so easy to willfully lose myself in that gaze.

Then I realized that he'd asked me something. Twice.

I blinked several times, blushing fiercely beneath my fur when I realized I'd been staring at him long enough for the piece of meat on my fork to go cold.

Yeah....this was a good date.

Greeting's:: I put a fav on this last March and have looked at it several times since. You did a beautiful job here. And as others have said, it looks like the real thing. At first look... I looked at this again now, and I've noticed something I hadn't befor. There are no shadows from the light on the lamp post. To bad I can't fav this twice, or three, or four times!!!

Thanks!
The lamp doesn't cast any shadows because the (day)light coming from the right is much more intense and the light from the lamp post is dimmed.

I love this!
What kind of lens did you use for this shoot?

I love your compositions, the lighting, posing and all gives it a natural feel to the scene being depicted. I am curios for any who wish to answer what do you guys do to keep from over heating in those suits? Under Armour? I have never gone to that level of costuming, mostly I used make up and prosthetics. I have however done something called Heavy list in a historical reenactment group, in mid summer and I have seen how quickly a person can sucome to heat related illnesses. I volunteer as emergency medical staff for events so forgive my medical inquiry.

Thanks for your compliments!
There is a very effective solution to deal with overheating: http://ezcooldown.com
Hundreds of fursuiters and costumers are using it :)

The only other times I've seen something of this quality was on a show called medical mysteries. It was used to treat a girl who could not sweat or feel pain.so I'm glad a product like this is available to the general public.
