Valerie's GPOSE Photography

Portraits of your Warrior of Light at no cost!

Long story short, I wanna get better at taking nice looking GPOSE photos. I've taken a lot of pictures of my own Warriors of Light, and more still of my friends' Warriors of Light. I thought it might be fun, though, to photograph a huge variety of characters by offering simple portrait shots to anyone who wanted one! Just for fun and for practice, nothing serious and no strings attached.

You probably have questions!

Let's get them out of the way first.

Why would I ask you to take a photo for me when I can do it myself?

I don't know! If you can take a better picture, by all means, go ahead! Maybe give me some pointers, too? I'm doing this to improve, after all—I'd never claim that my photos were the best around.

How do I request a photo?

First off, send me a /tell in-game! I have to be online, obviously, but if you're reading this, it's probably because you just looked at my search info so you know I'm online already. Let me know that you'd like a photo and we'll meet up somewhere so I can copy your character's appearance. Then we can discuss anything specific that you want me to keep in mind for the photo! Look below for more specific guidelines on that.

How long will it take?

Who knows? I'm not going to take the photo right then and there—that's why I need to copy your characters appearance! I'll uh, write down what you're wearing (cough) and take the photo at a later time, just whenever I happen to find the time for it and depending on how many other people are ahead of you in my queue!

How will I get the photo?

Ideally, we'll add each other as friends so that I can send you a link to the photo through Moogle Mail, probably in the form of a Flickr link, and you can tell me when you've received it. Or I can give you my Discord, though it would be an alt account of mine and not the best way to reach me after the fact. Or if you have a Twitter, I can send you the photo through a DM on there! Do note that I will remove you as a friend (whether in-game or on Discord) after I know you've received the photo, though. Nothing personal! I just would like to keep my friends lists clean!

My character's appearance relies on mods. Will you use them?

Mods are... on a case-by-case basis. If a mod is minor (like an upscale or gear mashup), won't interfere with my personal modlist too much (I use Penumbra, so most should be fine), and is publicly available then feel free to ask about it. Since these are simple shots, though, being limited to basic mods shouldn't be a problem I hope. Also, I know that talking about mods in-game is a big no-no, so if some discussion is needed here, you can ask for my aforementioned Discord. If you use Mare Synchronos, you can send me your .mcdf file over Discord, too, but please remember that I will not be able to change your appearance or clothing if I use it. Choose your outfit wisely!

How much will it cost?

Like it says at the top, absolutely nothing! I'm offering these photos completely free of charge. If anything, I consider seeing gorgeous characters payment enough! I won't say no to any sort of tip, but please do not feel obligated at all! I won't even bring it up myself.

Terms of Service

The Wills and Will Nots

Things you may request:

  • Installing simple mods to match how you see your character.
    • This includes changing body size options (i.e. Bibo+ Large Chest, Small Legs, etc.)
    • Mods must come in .ttmp2 or Penumbra-formatted .zip for easy installation. No loose files!
  • Preferred in-game time of day for the photo setting.
  • Specific facial expressions.
  • Specific attire/hairstyles/etc.
    • Attire must be SFW, however tasteful lingerie or revealing clothing may be accepted.
  • General location/zone for the photo to be taken. You can also request a blank / generic or transparent background too, if you'd rather.

Anything not specified will either be left to my discretion, or in the case of attire, whatever you were wearing at the time I copied your appearance.

Things you may not request:

  • Complex poses.
  • Precise locations for the photo. Please choose a zone and leave me some creative wiggle room here!
  • A character other than yours.
  • Multiple characters.
  • Specific or very high resolutions.
  • Full nudity / hardcore NSFW.
  • Mods meant for or based upon Tight & Firm or Eve bodies.
  • Anything, if you use the terms "futa," "trap," "F+," etc. or otherwise display some form of bigotry, fetishism, or otherwise offensive behavior.

Furthermore, just because something is not present on this list does not mean I will automatically accept it. I reserve the right to decline anything and anyone for any reason.

Finally, any photos I do take, I would like to showcase, either on this site, my Flickr, or my Twitter. So if you were wondering, photos I take will not necessarily be kept private between us. I won't put your character name or world, though (unless you specifically want me to?), so you won't have to worry about your privacy here. If you post your photo on Twitter, it'd be neat if you tagged me in it! Don't feel like you have to, though.

(Fair warning though, my Twitter can be NSFW at times!)

If something you're wondering about isn't covered here, please don't hesitate to ask me in-game! And in any case, thanks for taking a look here ♥
