Is the moon pie mystery solved?

Yes, I did complete this installment before the actual adventures on the moon [pie].

Dorklets Silencitx and Ethancitx see someone familiar on the moon [pie]!

The hearse is a digital model; the person driving was composited into a render of the hearse’s interior.

Little Allison [in yellow jacket] and Little Theo [in sweatshirt] try to get a bird’s-eye view of things.

Little Night goes on an adventure. Little Day worries. Everything ends happily!

Exploring the moon [pie]!

These pictures took a lot of compositing. First I took pictures of a Moon Pie from different angles. Then I used Daz Studio to render a sky from deep space. Then I took pictures of dorklets in various poses. Then I took each layer into Adobe Photoshop Elements and pasted them together, with the help of motion blur and Gaussian blur to imply motion and distance.

Note dorklets’ body language in the first shots. Little Allison [with sun and moon on her jacket] and Little Theo [in white sweatshirt] are holding hands because they are BESTEST friends. Little Meghna [in rainbow-striped shirt] has her arm around Ethancitx [in Hello Kitty shirt] because she’s keeping an eye on her younger b[r]other. Little Night [with long red hair] is reassuring her little sibling Little Day [in polka-dotted sweatshirt]. Silencitx is out in front blazing a trail!

In the next pictures Little Meghna is doing cartwheels because she likes gymnastics and other full-body sports.

The Magister makes homemade maple moon pies, which are very popular.

The homemade moon pies are played by small, individually wrapped mochi, which is why they don’t look much like moon pies. Just imagine the maple glaze, okay? :p

Because @natalunasans sent me some Moon Pies, I made a silly little photostory of two mini dorklets diving right into them. Then I started thinking about dorklets playing in a whole set made of Moon Pies, and this adventure was born…

For those of you who have trouble keeping track of these things, Silencitx and Ethancitx are the primary dorklets. Silencitx has short brown hair and a button-up shirt. Ethancitx has long black hair and a Hello Kitty shirt. Little Meghna, with curly black hair, is Ethancitx’s older sister. Little Allison [with headband] and Little Theo [with skirt] are some other neighbors of Silencitx’s. Little Day [in polka-dotted sweatshirt] and Little Night [with moons on her pants] are kids of the Elder Witches, which includes the Magister.
