Abstract Grumpy Stick Man

Grumpy Stick Man · 05:14 AM

Playing god and giving life to toothstick man, only to point a big old lens into this face. No wonder he was a little bit grumpy.
Update to only show Grumpy Stick Man as the Lord of Fire.
The other shots were crap ^^

An honest belly laugh from me. Thanks for this! As for the photography, really well done. Magical light, great use of shallow DOF, love it.

Thanks! The idea was inspired by @Digitalis - he was posting all this nice bokeh shots of the little cardboard man.
Since I did not have such a nice figure, some toothpicks and a piece of cardboard had to die in order to give life to Grumpy Stick Man

Glad you liked it!

Inventive and effective. I bought my danboard figure, but you managed to make something interesting yourself. nice work.

Where did you get it? I really like those shots. It seems to tell a story of that little man exploring the big wide world... I guess it works with a lot of figures, but yours has the perfect "expression", if one can say so.

you can find them on Amazon - I got the Danboard Mini, I figured the high contrast of its face would be useful with AF accuracy testing on my Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Lens.
