Interview with Scarlet Niven

Hey everyone!

Last month, I participated in Frenzoo's monthly VIP challenge contest and won first place! The contest theme was to create a mature fashion and makeup type advertisment for a user age 20+ and was judged by Second Life blogger Scarlett Niven. The winner also got to be interviewed for her blog.

Here's her review of my entry:

 This fitted dress has great detail on the texture with the creases in the dress and seams giving it a very realistic look. The shoulder accents in the shiny textured multi colored silver gives the dress just the right amount of added detail without taking away attention from the actual dress. Accessories are kept to a minimum letting the outfit shine. Simple silver earrings and black pumps are just the right choice. I love the glossy silvery plum of the lips on the skin as well as the highlighting on the eyes, long lashes and warming up of the skin with just the right amount of blush. This AV is definitely giving a Rhianna vibe! 

You can catch the completed interview here.

New Sub brand opened - Dojo by Sanders Beaumont

Hi all,

I have recently become a fan of this fashion brand in Second Life called Fleur de Lys and the designer behind it called Sanders Beaumont, 9image on left) you would have noticed in many of my photos, I have been wearing his creations, particulary in "Springtime" and "Looks with Attitude" posts...........

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.

The Far Away....

Hi all,

I hope you aren't getting sick of my numerous photo taking adventures...

but was with my friend in SL - and he took me to this wonderful place called

"The Far Away"

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….

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).

Stunning inspiration

The blog I found which lots of inspired photographs were posted in.

Pombom!

This is my thought in these photos.

Gears are like the time,

Although it is colorful world in that moment, human were eager to escape from time constraints.

Avatar Design Comparison

from left to right: IMVU, Second Life, Sims 2, Frenzoo

I started a little project making a avatar comparison, using simple t-shirts templates from a few well known 3D simulation games and virtual worlds.

Denim and Leather

Hey all!

Hows it going? So have been doing a bit of exploring - and wow I am just inlove with this denim and leather collection by DE Designs on SL, the attention to detailing is superb, and I love the denim cropped jackets silhouette, with the asymmetric look. The belt with the denim drape is ever so cute, how totally inspiring! :D


Makes me want to go create an all denim line now! If I only had the time :(

Much love to all!
