Plays with Makeup

Hey all,

How goes it? :D

I found these amazing skins that so work for the fashion angle that I love so much, so at Arcs, I let myself go with close ups and I loved this one the most.

Looks with attitude

Hey All,

So recently I have found these amazing designer shops on Second Life, and thus have been creating looks in game.

Military Boho

hey all!

What do you think of my military boho look?

I tend to like to mix up my items abit, pairing things that are unusual together, in this look, I've paired girly with urban, and plays with textural differences too.

Digital Surrealism

Error_006b by Rocapc
(aka Miguel Rotunno on
Second Life and Open Sim)

Beyond the borders of reality, there is virtual reality. Beyond the borders of virtual reality, who knows?

Long ago, Andre Breton and Salvador Dali humored expectations and enlightened imaginations. Did surrealism die with either of them? Doubtful.

If the surrealist movement lost momentum in the last few decades, it is making a huge come back in the most appropriate of places--virtual reality.

Several artists are bending the laws of rationality with digital surrealism. Virtual artists have been uploading truly magnificent works that play on our expectations of normality, igniting surprise and humor within us.

Surrealism in virtual reality is not as popular as other forms of art, but it certainly deserves mention. Most works I see on Koinup portray utopic microcosms, fullfilling society's perceptions of beauty, peace, paradise, and so on. It is refreshing to see a few rebels setting out to do what virtual reality was really meant for.

Take NeveryLorakeet. Hers is the first surrealist artwork I spotted. Instant curiosity pressed me to look further. I don’t know where to start. Her works are stunning. She captures depth beautifully, making dynamic pictures . She uses different lighting effects, poses, and backgrounds to build great images. It’s a joy to look at.

Paranoia

Take a look at NeveryLorakeet's works on her Koinup page. You are sure to be impressed and enthralled.

Koinup member Bark, from Tokyo, plays on the expectations of what makes a human body, replacing the human heads with clocks and eyeballs and creating surreal scenes and interactions. Some may call it brilliant, others may think it is a little disturbing, a few may even call it humorous. What is undeniable is that Bark's works are creative and eye-catching.


Nonsense

Bark's art is diverse and well worth a look-see. Check out her Koinup Page, blog, and Flickr account.

If you are interested in digital surrealism, check out the Koinup club dedicated to it.

Thanks for reading this far. We'll see what sort of things I can get into next

Until then, curious little darlings….

Inspirational Artists

Hello all!

I am going to attempt to make commitment and post on every Wednesday. I hope you look forward to my virtual shenanigans.

I have become slightly obsessed with virtual photography lately. I am in awe of the things that people create. Really, there is a lot of work that you have to do after taking a snapshot to make it look beautiful, especially in virtual photography. Just look at this beautiful work by Paulina Oceanlane:

Fantasy Isle

I haven't spent a long time on Koinup, but in the time I have been on I have spotted some really inspirational and outstanding artists. There are so many talented artists that attempting to name them all would result in a complete failure. Instead, I will just highlight a few that really caught my eye.

Conniesec:

Perhaps it was the shock of Second Life nudity, or the softened background in a fashion picture. For some reason, I noticed Conniesec's work the first day I started to delve into Koinup.

It is absolutely beautiful.

She made me realize that there is a whole world of virtual art out there, just waiting to be explored. Mainly, her art focuses on female portraits. She does quite a bit of lingerie, nudes, and fashion shots. Impressively, her nudes and lingerie shots are not vulgar at all. In fact, they are quite elegant. Elegant nudity is very hard to capture when society generally frowns upon the bare human body.

Conniesec is truly a pro. Check out her personal blog and Flickr account.

Move your Bloomin' Arse by Conniesec

Sims-DreamWitch77:

I recently found Sims-DreamWitch77, a Sims artists who specializes in beautiful landscapes and portraits. I'm deeply impressed by her talent and the way she draws inspiration from songs or art. Her stunning backgrounds and attention to detail deserve special mention. I do not know much about The Sims, but she sure does make it appealing.

La dama del lago (The Sims 3)

There are certainly many more great artists out there. I'll be keeping an eye out for other inspirational and talented folks in the metaverse. Who knows who I will find by next Wednesday!

Until next time, my curious little creatures....

A Second Life Exploration - Part 3

Hey all!

Me again - oh you must bore of me!

Well this is the final part of the day I went a little crazy in Second Life and took photos galore,
I ended up and my avatar is still there enjoying herself at Embryo, a beautiful landscape with many little hills - where on each hill sits a beautiful landmark waiting to be discovered.

I spent most of my time here, letting my avatar bask in the foilage and light, I flitted back and forth between points and poses to get pictures that I felt were beautiful, serene, pensive and peaceful.

I really enjoyed this location immensely, it reminds me of spring time and France and a lifestyle which is rather difficult for me to have in the real world, I will definitely be coming back to this venue if only just to sit and contemplate life.

Everyone should definitely go visit,

With lots of love and hugs to all,

A Second Life Exploration - part 2

Hey all!

Part 2 here! Oh put those groans away :p

So after my obsesson with my newly hot avatar, I headed to Mao - where I went to see what I have yet to visit in Beijing, the Great Wall of China.

It was soooooooooo cool! Played around with lighting and poses a bit and came up with below,

My favourite is most definitely the sunset one, though I rather like the black and white too - I wanted to play with form a little there - but I dont think I am experienced enough yet, but all in all it was a good trip and as I relearn and learn again, I am sure I will be heading back!

Hope you likes!

Constructive criticism always appreciated :)

A Second Life exploration - part 1.

Hi all! how are you?? Hope all is well :)

After a long absence from Second life, I ventured back in with a mission - I wanted to finally sort my avatar out and make her prettier than before! So I started fiddling with the sizes, faces, body sliders and came to the conclusion that I, Sheeana am just not destined for body and face sculpting. I admit it, I'm hopeless.

So I did what I do best, I shopped!

First stop - body shapes!

I being a long departed veteran, newly returned noob - went searching and found myself in Platinum, where the notecard for windlight settings was most helpful!!

There I found myself staring at shapes by Noon, very beautifully presented-and bought myself a body - yay! I was smitten with my new hot bod.

With the shape package came also a note card, which listed where you would visit to complete your look - what a godsend! So here I was, tourist Sheeana following this notecard as it was my bible and went on a massive shopping spree. (note to self - take photos of stores next time!)

First stop - Skins - Redgrave - omg heaven for skins - amazing - simply amazing.

Then onto Curio where I bought my hair, beautiful selections and textured so well.

and finally stopped at Maitreya where my mouth literally dropped open, the store design and decor is amazing, it's like walking into a higher end Abercrombie and Fitch, merchandise displays were beautifully done and shop stock amazingly created with great attention to detail. A MUST see.

I bought my outfit there, and I have to say my favourite is the long scarf, when you click on it you can change it to flexi, windswept left, right, etc - fantastic.

Right - so all dressed up and perfected, I looked up some places I wanted to visit, the first destination was this pub, beautifully cozy and reminiscent of a classy London pub, this is where it all started,

What do you think? After this session I went to Mao - the Great wall of China in Second life, but that will be continued in Part 2, hope you enjoyed this somewhat drab commentary lol!

till part 2 beautifuls! :D (yes I know that is in poor grammar).

IMVU Photoshoot - xsassyjenx's collection

Hey all!

Here I am again with my IMVU avatar Snippyish, I found this designer on IMVU named xsassyjenx and absolutely fell inlove with her texturing and detailing, it inspired me to head back to my new spa where I went a little snapshot crazy, I am absolutely in love with her zebra jacket, and this fuschia dress - the texturing ever so wonderful and detailed.

I haven't touched up any of these photos, so expect some further projects along the line, but I really enjoyed myself snapping away last night!
