After 7 months I have updated the web page: https://www.onesixthuals.com/16-uals-home . Some of the content was no longer current, and I have now new ideas on how to present my work.

About Nude Photography - by Alexander Spoerl
There is an interesting book, published in 1958: Alexander Spoerl, "Mit der Kamera auf Du". It describes many aspects of photography, and there is a small section on "Aktaufnahme" = nude photography. In only is a few pages long, pp 194-197.
I am translating here this section, as it is somewhat relevant to the pictures I am making here.
NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY
There is never a compelling reason for it. But when being asked, then she is not a bad woman, but one who likes herself. And that is her right. The danger of nude photography is that we also like her. For the healthy man [this is from 1958; in our times now one might change this into: "For a hetero-man or a lesbian woman"]the nude female body is even then not without charm when would be something wrong with it. A cavalier has not to say anything about that. But a cavalier also does not always press the trigger. But despite pressing the trigger, one can still be a cavalier. Because one shall always then take a picture, when one thinks that the motive is beautiful.
The camera is cruel. A woman should think about it a hundred times. The lens changes beauty spots into displaced spots, changes female breasts into lumps of meat, changes the female bottom into a butt. Knees are bulging, and nicely shaped thighs turn into sabres. - With a nude woman our view becomes clouded. We are no longer composing with the camera, but aim.
A photographed nude is indeed not a nude photograph.
And a nude man is not necessarily a study.
But there is no reason to walk away with the camera from a nude human. - But one does not undress a human to photograph him/her, but one photographs him/her despite (s)he being undressed. When a human is undressed, there is a reason for it. Either changing clothes. That can be photographically attractive. Or (s)he takes a bath, then there is an even better motive. Or (s)he breathes fresh air, then one needs to see this in the face. In any case one needs to see on the picture why the pictured person is so completely nude.
For example, a nude girl in front of a buffet has no reason for being nude. It may happen, but is not believable.
A nude man on a bicycle may happen, but it looks unnatural.
Two node people form a "composition". If they are of opposite gender [This is from 1958. In today's world one would write "If they are attracted to each other"], then this may even be a "scene". - With a composition, it is important how beautiful it is. With a scene it is important that is states something. Photographed indecency is not a scene but is smut.
The safest nude picture the one which is not made.
The best nude picture is the one which is made despite this.

Publishing at Smashwords
From a list of rankings of ebook publishers for adult content (https://medium.com/) I found the publisher Smashwords.
The signing-up and publishing went very easy. They serve several retailers, also Kobo - so I have to see what I will do with my already existing book there.
The site works very professionally: it creates several versions of ebook formats: PDF, Kindle (.mobi), Plain txt, Palm Doc, epub, Sony reader LRF, and online html. All other previous publishers only created epub - which is probably the most useful format anyway.
Interesting that Smashwords needs the file in .doc, not in .docx. So I had to do one additional conversion step myself.
Interesting is also that they ask for some specific information about erotica content - they do not state that they will reject it, but they will apparently take care of this with several of their retailers.
One issue was flagged by the Autovetter: I do have an auto-generated table-of-content (TOC) in my manuscript: one of the generated epub from the previous publishers did not have an auto-generated TOC, so I used Google Docs to auto-create the TOC. Seemed to be OK for Lulu, for Kobo, and for Amazon Kindle. But Smashword tagged this as a "potential issue".
I decided not to fix this issue.
The standard Epubcheck by Smashwords was passed.
The book is now here on Smashword:
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1150533
Before it can go into the premium catalog, I need to make changes: remove the TOC.
--- did remove the TOC, saved it.
New problem: the file is larger than 15 MB. Limit of a re-uploaded doc is 15MB. Annoying! This is of course because I do have many pictures in the file...
Did not have that problem when uploading it for the first time - there was no size limit!
- after uploading an older version of 1st edition (I am not sure what the difference is... looked the same, 139 pics) I got below the 15MB size limit.
Now this is all done also in the premium section of Smashwords.
I did leave my other Kobo instance. It has a different eISBN anyway. So there will just be two different publishers then on all the KOBO controlled retailers..

More publishing: Amazon Kindle and Kobo
I did submit "Cynthia's Wedding Night" also to Amazon Kindle and to Kobo. Went very straight forward for both publishers.
On Kobo there was no category "Erotica"... only "Romance".
Both publishers will do a review. Possibly my book will get rejected, because its "explicit" pictures. They will get back latest in 72 hours.
I also tried Barnes & Noble, but for signing up one needs a US mobile telephone number...
No more news from Lot's Cave. Their latest blog entry is from sometime in 2019. Maybe they are dead? I got automated confirmation emails, and the site has lots of books on offer. But some site aspects are still "under construction"...
Tuesday, May 31, 2022
eBook also submitted to LotsCave
The site Lot's Cave is offering to publish ebooks with adult and erotic content. They appear to go further than other publishers in what they accept.
But their setup is a bit "old-fashioned": there is no immediate or direct automated process of publishing, but it appears that someone has to read the submission and judge if it can go ahead.
The look-and-feel of the site is also not quite up to modern design. But to me it does not matter - as long as it works OK.
They appear also to offer regular distributors (like Amazon), in contrast to Lulu who does not support those for sexually explicit materials.
I did submit "Cynthia's Wedding Night" yesterday night - have not heard back from them.
eBook published: "Cynthia's Wedding Night" - Part 1
I just completed the publication of my first 1/6 graphic novel ebook:
It was rejected for global distribution (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and others), probably because of the explicit material. Of course this rejection only came after I paid the one-time €5 fee... quite a rip-off and certainly one way of how to make money, LULU ...
At least the book is available on the Lulu online bookstore. Let's see if and how it sells...
The eBook is also available on Kobo:

New bodies arrived!
I could not resist and ordered a few more bodies from Amazon:
- TBLeague S06 with fitting head sculpt
- TBLeague S43 with fitting head sculpt
- TBLeague S42. First with fitting head sculpt, but there was a problem: the "new" body had been used. Also the head sculpt I did not like. So I sent it back and ordered a S42A without the head sculpt.
- JIAOU JOQ-09F-BS01.
These arrived quickly (Amazon Prime, within one day) and have been complementing my current group of girls. I already took pictures, posted on Flickr and on DeviantArt.
On back-order from AliExpress are:
- TBLeague S47A
- TBLeague S02A
And two new blonde heads are also on backorder:
- KM18-44
- KM13-74

My plan: cartoons / visual stories as e-books
As already outlined in a post on 30 Jan (https://onesixthuals.blogspot.com/2022/01/idea-publishing-my-photo-stories-as.html) , I am preparing a few cartoon stories, with the visuals from these 1/6 dolls. I have already made a few pictures-onl stories, available in my galleries on DeviantArt https://www.deviantart.com/onesixthuals , and in the most recent ones I have added call-outs to create some context.
I find that with callouts it is much easier to follow the story than with text captions for each picture. Those captions feel like captions in a silent movie - need to read them, which distracts from viewing the movie, resp. the pictures.
I found it convenient to use the free PizAp site to add call-outs to my pictures: https://www.pizap.com/app/start
There is a limitation on the image size for the free usage of this app: my pics are usually 1170 x 877 pixels, which may be a bit smallish... But for now and for sharing pictures on DeviantArt, this size is good enough.
For publishing e-books with "advanced mature" materials, there are unfortunately not many options, because many e-publishers limit the kind of content which can be published. For example, Lulu has recently updated their guidelines and policies on "indecent" material. Seems there is no place for adding stories about BDSM and rape...
The publisher "Lots Cave" appears to be one of the few publishers which allows such "advanced" content: https://www.lotscave.com/publish/document-upload-process.php
But first I need to get the tools for creating an ebook.
I found that Google Docs provides the option to export as an e-book. This might be a good way of creating properly formatted ebooks. Images can be directly imported from Google Photos, which is also a benefit.
I created a few story outlines on Google Keep. All these Google apps allow me to work with synced content on my PC and on my phone, which is clearly a big advantage.
I will try and will report on my progress in the future.
Changes at Flickr - Limitations of adult pics
Since 1 May free Flickr accounts (like mine) have restrictions on "adult pictures". I have therefore made all my adult pics "private". This will result in some of the earlier pages and several of my postings in forums and groups no longer working... :( I am too lazy to go now into each and every site to correct this.
In the future I need to find another way of posting and sharing pictures. The most liberal one will be here on this blog, where I have the full freedom of posting whatever I want. But this blog structure makes it difficult to arrange items, stories, pictures systematically... therefore I prefer to use this blog for writing some musings, for announcements, for anything that makes sense in terms of timeline, instead of using it as a venue for posting stories and pictures.
My website may be a good venue, but it is quite labor-intensive to keep it up to date...
In any case: this post is just to alert you that my public pictures on Flickr are now only with non-mature content.
After a pause ...
The war in Ukraine has put a bit of a damper on my activities. The cruelty of Russia and its forces has stopped me in my tracks - I was no longer able (mentally) to produce those wonderful sex scenes with my dolls. Especially after the uncovering of the sexual cruelties of those assholes, for example in Butcha, it seemed not appropriate to enjoy violence phantasies with those 1/6 dolls.
Now we have gotten used to the war. Ukraine is doing quite well, and I hope that Russia's downfall is coming. That arrogant country needs to be shown its limits. Its must be disabled from any further and future annexations, aggressions, meddling in world affairs to its advantage, as Russia resp. the former Soviet Union has done for all the decades since 1945. Russia must and will be defeated. In an ideal world it would be occupied by the West and put under UN administration, to ensure that from this country never again any war would start. But I am just dreaming...
In any case, the 1/6 dolls are back.
Have a look at my page at DeviantArt, where I am posting most of my work:

Overdue introduction: Chu Hua
Not sure why I forgot to introduce her ... I got the head sculpt a few weeks ago, which was labelled as "Yang Mi". But I gave her now the name: Chu Hua. It means Chrysanthemum, and it seems to fit well.
She has a more mature look than my other heads, but I find this look very sexy.
Copyright and Trademarks
I have not paid much attention to copyright and trademark, but when I want to do this publishing of image series / photo stories seriously, then I need to be aware of this.
For example, I should probably rename the Harry Potter characters to something else. The dolls I cannot change, they look how they look, close to the originals. But their names should probably be different. I need to come up with some other names.
Also my Chinese face doll Yang Mi should be renamed. The head sculpt anyway has only a superficial resemblance to the real Chinese actress: the real actress looks younger. My doll head sculpt looks more mature. I will have to come up with a fitting name... Must not necessarily be Chinese, because the face of this doll face looks somewhat generic. Could be anyone.
Problem is: I do not ha e much phantasy and imagination regarding naming people....

Patreon: pics every week, story every month
For Patreon I have now set up my own rule for the Tier-1 patrons:
- Once a week I plan to post one or more explicit pictures.
- Once a month I plan to post a full story with all explicit content included.
Hope I can keep up with this!
I just posted two posts on Patreon:
and
Plus I have explained my posting policy with a GIF of the five girls in their stockings:
Overdue introduction: Audrey
Already a month ago I got this head which was announced on AliExpress as "Audrey Hepburn". Looked very elegant on the picture. But when the head arrived, it looked somewhat different. Not at all like Andrey Hepburn.
And I am actually glad about this Do not want to drag Audrey Hepburn down into the sexual dungeon...
The head is very elegant, has built-in ear rings which is nice. Looks like a woman in her late-30s / early 40s. Pale, fits well to the TBLeague S38A body. But that body is a bit heavy and short... she needs something more elegant. But the small bodies such as a S34A was too slim for her...she needs a body with some substance.
Idea: publishing my photo stories as cartoons? eBooks?
When browsing though some of the art offered on DeviantArt, I noticed that someone sells their 3G CG stories as eBooks, for $14 a piece.
I realized that I could to this as well! Using my ideas for sexy stories and then putting them into actual print resp. visual photo cartoons. Will think about this....
Photo stories with callouts: PiZap
Initially I wrote the lines which the figures in my pictures are saying, underneath in the captions. But that is annoying - one has to read the text while looking at the picture.
A much better way would be to add callout balloons directly into the pictures, like in a real cartoon.
And so I have begun to do this. I am using this free online software: PiZap . In order to work with this, I have to download my pictures from Google Photos to my PC, then upload them to PiZap. There I can add callouts. Then I save the pictures again on my PC. but only in a limited size of about 800 x 1140 pixels. If I would pay $4.99 per month, I would get 4k size and no adds. But this would mean a fixed financial commitment of $60 per year. Seems expensive for just adding callouts... so I will continue using the free version as long as this is feasible.
My activities on DeviantArt
In recent weeks I have posted many pictures and photo series on the site DeviantArt . This is a site dedicated to the creation of "art" of all kinds: 3D graphics, photography. There is a lot of nudity and porn, but the do have some limiting rules. There is, for example, no explicit sex depiction allowed - although there is some of it there.
I have begun to post picture series and photo stories there, limited to non-explicit content.
Maybe the explicit stuff I will post later on Patreon or SubscribeStar.
The other artists on DeviantArt are welcoming and friendly. Some engage in positive conversations. Looks like a nice site for posting my adult "sixthual" pics.
Two Auctions on eBay: S34A and "Blondie"
Recently I got two new bodies from TBLeague: S34A (pale) and S35A (suntan). I am not too thrilled about the quality of those: They appear to be somewhat "flimsy". Nice shape, narrow, slim, elegant. But the slim-ness seems to have a negative effect on the skeleton stability.
In any case, the suntan version S35A fits very well to my heads, in particular to the one of Yang Mi.
But I could not find a use of the pale version S34A: its paleness is different from my S38A. The S34A is more pinkish than pale. None of my heads fits well. So I decided to sell it on eBay.
https://www.ebay.de/itm/393892455337
And while I was at it, I also decided to sell "Blondie". Her very deeply suntan head did not fit to any of my other bodies which are much lighter. And so she is also for sale:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/393892453643
Both are only for sale in Germany, because otherwise the shipping and customs would be too expensive.

New doll head: meet Blondie
And now for the last head in today's features: When I saw this head on AliExpress, I ordered it since in my collection there are too few blondes.
The official product ID: DSTOYS D-003B
And here is where I purchased this head on AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003634603539.html
When I took the first pictures of her face, I seemed to have trouble: no matter from what angle I took the shots, her facial expression seemed somewhat uncanny. Almost like a man's face. And somewhat with a mean expression. Not sure if this is only me...
Well, I am slowly getting used to her...
I did not immediately come up with a fitting name for her. On member of the OneSixthFigures forum, GubernatorFan, suggested: "Blondie".
https://onesixthfigures.forumotion.com/t88p675-your-latest-purchase#72935
And so for now I will refer to her as "Blondie".
Welcome to the club, Blondie!
New doll head: meet Amy
I decided that in my collection there should also a head with short hair. And when I saw the head of Amy on AliExpress, I knew that I need to add her to my collection. There are not many heads with short hair which I like - usually I prefer the long wavy hair which gets messy and in her face. But at least once I should also enjoy the pleasures of short hair, which does not obstruct the face or gets all over the place.
Her official product ID: DSTOYS D-001A .
To me she just looks like she would be called Amy. So that is her name from now on.
Here is where I bought her on AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002517512507.html
I do think that she fits very well with the TBLeague S38A body (pale). The taint and complexion matches, and also the overall proportions (sumptuous body) fit well to her face with the short hair.
She makes a slightly more mature impression, and I would put her at age 33.
So welcome to the club, Amy!
New doll head: meet Angela
A few weeks ago I saw this unusual head. Unusual because the facial expression is a pronounced smile. Usually the other dolls' faces look serious.
In some adverts she was labelled as "Angelababy". So Angela is her name.
The official ID is: VeryCool FX10
And here is where I bought her on AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003658303240.html
Her face appears to be very youthful. She is Asian (although not very pronounced). In my club she is above 18 years old, but will probably be the youngest and most inexperienced female.
Her facial taint seems to fit well to the JIAOU JOQ-07F-BS body, but I will get a smaller slim body for her.
So welcome to the club, Angela!
New doll head: meet Miss Spetsnaz
Yesterday four new doll heads arrived. I will introduce them here.
First: Miss Spetsnaz. She appears to be known in the 1/6 community as a Russian warrior. Here is, for example, one video about this doll: https://youtu.be/6RGzyiqjZ5w
The official ID of this head is: VeryCool 1/6 VCF-2052
There is soon a kit coming out where she is fully dressed up in combat gear: https://www.machinegun-figures.com/russian-special-combat-women-soldier-miss-spetsnaz-p-42479 . Well, I find that this would be somewhat a waste of her talents, hiding her pretty face and letting her do only shooting and killing. I have something else in mind for her, and I am sure she will enjoy this (Andrew is already waiting...).
And this is where I bought this head on AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002740277284.html
Here are my first pictures of her:
One thing I noticed: the camera does not seem to correctly focus on her face. Usually the camera picks out a face and then auto-focusses on that. With Miss Spetsnaz the focus seems slightly off... no matter how I position the camera. Well, maybe I am just imagining this...
I find that the JIAOU JOQ-07F-BS body goes very well with her taint and her overall shape. So I will have to find another body for Laura then...
Here is Miss Spetsnaz in a Barbie outfit. It does actually not fit in the back - the top needed an additional Velcro piece, because the bust (size F) is just too large. So she just wont't turn around.
So, welcome to the club, Miss Spetsnaz!

And now on SubscribeStar!
And now I have created an account on SubscribeStar . This site appears to have the most tolerance for graphic mature / adult content. I do not yet have specific material, but I will announce it here when I have.
And now on Twitter!
For opening a Patreon account I had to have a social media account, for reference. So I did open a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/onesixthuals .
I did follow a few fellow artists who create explicit material, mostly with animation and computer graphics. Will see how that whole "social media universe" and set of sites will work together...
Now on Patreon
Finally there is a site where I can publish some of the NSFW images which are too "strong" for my site on DeviantArt or other sites: Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/onesixthuals?fan_landing=true
I already knew this site as a site which does host quite graphic material. It does appear, however, that also Patreon does have some guidelines and suspends some users for posting too graphic material...
Well, for now my postings will be relatively "mild" compared to what could be made... so I will see how it goes with Patreon. One rule of Patreon is that any adult material only can be accessed only by "Patrons". Therefore I set a very low monthly level of $2.
There seems to be another such site which does allow all graphic content: SubscribeStar. https://subscribestar.adult/ This may be a site I may use eventually, but for now I will stay with Patreon and DeviantArt.

Other websites related to 1/6 dolls
On my website I have created a list with a few links which I found related to 1/6 dolls. The page is here: https://www.onesixthuals.com/info/other-sites-devoted-to-16-dolls , and hopefully I will be able to keep it updated.

My website: links to photo stories
I now have put more explicit links on my website to this blog, in particular to the photo stories. I find that these stories are the core of what I am interested in producing: stories which have some kind of content, but which are all about sex.
The website itself will have no NSFW content. But it has links to such content. And I put sufficient warnings so that nobody can stumble onto these materials no knowing what they are getting into. Here is, for example, the page with links to the current photo stories which are here on this blog:
https://www.onesixthuals.com/16-uals-home/photostories-nsfw
So, all is now OK in place.
Time to wish you all a happy new year 2022!
Photostory: Humiliation and Revenge - Part 5. Grateful Cynthia does a striptease for Andrew
When Cynthia hears that Andrew has restored her honor, she is very grateful. She wants to give him a little present: a striptease.
She has just com back from her office where she works. And she decides that her clothing is fine to give her husband Andrew a little pleasure.
Andrew sits comfortably in his chair and looks at his gorgeous wife in one of her her every-day business outfits. He is such a lucky guy to have been able to marry her! And now he is looking forward to the show she will present just for him. His dick is already getting stiff, even Cynthia is still fully dressed.
Now the skirt comes off.
Andrew can hardly contain himself when seeing his wife slowly sliding down her black skirt.
Now Cynthia can pose in her sexy white underskirt.
Cynthia now decides also to remove her panthose.
Cynthia now herself got turned on by Andrew's affection and feels that she want so sit on Andrew, to feel his dick sliding into her from behind.
After a while she turns around and lets him slide into her cunt. Letting him spray his juices into her.
And then she comes in a orgiastic eruption of tremors. Feeling his dick in herself removes all of her inhibitions, and she lets out involuntary shouts of excitement.
Now that is what I call a happy marriage!
Photostory: Humiliation and Revenge - Part 4. Andrew revenges Cynthia's humiliation
As soon as Cynthia told Andrew what happened to her, he went to see Laura and Jenny. They just had enjoyed each other and are still gently embracing each other.
But Andrew pulls out his gun and points it at them. Under the threat of being shot they admit to the charges.
Andrew tells them to turn around, facing the wall.
He shouts at them "Spread your legs!". They comply.
Andrew moves behind Jenny and strokes with his gun her upper inner thighs, moving up her dress from behind.
Now he moves over behind Laura and does the same thing to her: stroking with his gun against her inner upper thighs from behind, up her white dress.
He shouts to Laura: "Move your skirt up!" Laura complies.
"And now move your panty hose down!". Laura complies, as she has no other choice due to the presence of the gun.
Andrew says: "Wow, this is a great ass! I feel I need to slide into it!" He positions himself behind Laura and pushes his dick into her from behind. Jenny watches. He keeps the gun pointed ad Jenny so that she does not attempt to interfere.
After her has pumped his load into Laura's ass, he steps back and asks Laura to turn around.
"Wow, that is a nice piece of fat ass!" Andrew says looking at Jenny's behind.
"I have to cum inside this wonderful fat ass." Andrew says. And so he positions himself behind Jenny and pushes his again hard rod into her.
Jenny does not move, just lets it happen and let him have his ways.
Always under the threat of Andrew's gun...
"Ah, I like what I see!" Andrew says.
"Now move over here and show me what you re capable of!" Andrew tells the girls. They come over and kneel in front of him, taking care of his dick. He is again ready for a shot.#
Jenny and Laura work both very hard to get him off, and they succeed.
"That is nice, thank you, girls!" Andrew says. "Now I want you to show me how you deal with yourself. The two of you. I am sure you have something to show!". And yes, they have. This is familiar territory for them.
"OK, this is nice to watch. Now I wet myself again..." Andrew says.
"Now, I think you have paid your dues. This is OK now for me, and you are off the hook."
And then Andrew leaves the girls with their wet dripping pussies to themselves.
