New guy here! Just recently got back into Joes, as I haven't had one since I was a kid (well... smaller kid). I LOVE the new line.
I'd also never done anything like a dio... but it seemed completely natural, since I was having so much fun creating my little scenarios, to take pictures of them and stick them on my site. From there I found yojoe.com, and eventually this place, which ROCKS!
Inspiration... my imagination runs overtime, so I generally have some screwy, off-the-wall idea that can be used to humorous effect in a GI Joe scenario. I like to set up a battle (just once, no moving the characters), and take pictures from different angles to play it out. There's rarely a lofty theme or anything; more likely a sarcastic jab at... whatever happens to be on my mind.
Right now it's just done on my desk, since my puppy takes over the rest of the apartment... hopefully at some point I can put together a set.
