Magical dissection was a bit different from flaying a live animal, but the principle was the same. One had to take an object apart to see how it worked, after all. Sadly, this little fledgling couldn't tell him much, it was simply too small. Yet as it thrashed and struggled and tried to attack him, one revelation rose into his mind: this magic wasn't hers.
The complex of the house, fences, and small outbuildings is arranged to create a succession of inviting, well-defined spaces near the house. The gate opens off the parking area.

Nineteenth-century American and continental landscape paintings produce an air of tranquility in the Master Bedroom. The group of sculptures includes a Gaston Lachaise bronze. A delicate Art Deco stained glass door insert and a leaded-glass lampshade serve to diversify the mood.

This house. It was built in 1822 in Lynchburg, VA, but they renovated it in 2020 and wanted to make it authentic. I don't know what to think. 4bds, 3ba, 4,368sqft, $1.6m.
They spared no expense. At least in wallpaper. I somehow suspect that they didn't have that tile in 1822, so they took some creative license.
The first room off the hall is the dining room. They did have murals like this in homes of this era, and look at the large fireplace. But, I question their paint and wood stain choices.
On the other side of the hall there's the reception room. Faux marble finish on the fireplace. The carpeting was also a choice.
And, the smoking room off the dining room. There's another staircase in here.
The 2nd floor landing.
Not sure what sort of faux finish is on the fireplace. Is it supposed to look like stone?
Look at all the other stairs.
Interesting bath even has a fireplace.
A door in the hall opens to this lovely terrace.
Very large bedroom. I'm wondering if this was a ballroom.
The other stairs in the hall lead to a finished attic.
This is unusual, b/c the kitchen is on a lower floor.
It probably was on the ground floor, originally, and usually, it's been relocated to the main floor.
Because this actually looks like the original kitchen cooking hearth.
And, there's this lovely brick family room down here, too.
The garden is a little weird.
These little outbuildings look like remnants of a town.

I wish people Did Stuff more often in modern fantasy photography. It feels like 99.99% of the time the models are just standing there looking pretty with their arms slightly raised and maybe holding a sword, which is all well and good individually, but so bland and monotonous when there isn't anything else.
I wanna see elves and fairies that have jobs and hobbies and are doing things. Like spinning yarn or weighing seeds to sell to a customer or playing chess or darning socks or baking or gossiping while knitting.
I wanna pose as a fairy janitor with a leaf apron, and a mop bucket made of a walnut shell. Also the fairy shopkeeper who's weighing the aforementioned seeds should have sleeve garters.
Writing letters, hanging laundry, gardening, wood carving, arguing with a pedlar (people love a tall fantasy backpack covered in objects!), playing instruments & singing, doing each other's hair, drawing each other's portraits.
Get dressed up and take baskets to a u-pick orchard and get some nice apple picking shots.
Do a vignette of a dwarven dentist's office with a patient getting a tooth extracted and a concerned friend holding their hand.
A professional with a large stock of costumes (or several friend pooling their own collections) could stage a dress shop or secondhand clothes market scene.
I should make a lot of large fake leaves so I can be a fairy tailor with rolls of supplies in the background. That's much more easily doable for me than a walnut shell mop bucket.
Looking at bugs with a magnifying glass and taking notes. Washing dishes with a prop bottle brush made to look like a single dandelion seed.
Sharpening your fancy daggers or polishing your armour. Tiny little Pride parade along a forest path, with painted leaf shaped flags and banners.
Lawn bowling with giant berries or hazelnuts, throwing horseshoes, children skipping rope or playing hoop & stick or any number of other historical games. Fishing. Reading a map. Carrying wood, chopping wood, building & lighting a fire.
Property sale scene where you take pictures in front of a cool looking building and the models are pointing and looking, and then shaking hands, and then exchanging a bag of coins for a key & property deed. Wouldn't even need to get inside the building for that!
And it'd work just as well if the building was abandoned and falling apart, and the creatures dressed shabbily.
Shoe shining is quite an old job with a very simple setup that's portable and can be done pretty much anywhere, and newspaper seller is another good one. Think of what fun it'd be coming up with headlines for the prop newspapers! Maybe a wrinkly old wizard could buy one and then go read it on a park bench and feed the birds.
Doing each other's hair includes beards too. How cute would it be to have dwarf and/or wizard friends braiding each other's beards?
