Japanese Light Photo Series

Over the past few months I have been working on a series of Images called Japanese light. These were taken at the following Sim Name: JAPAN DREAM KENJIN

When i first saw this Sim it really stroke a note with me for the detail and artistic beauty I saw in it. Over the period of two months of working on each individual picture. When you are a Photoshop geek you know your dedicated when you work on a series of ten images all in a row with no break .

The first 5 of this set have already been auctioned off in a art auction I have held at the club i manage called Urbanity and the last 5 will be sold off in a special art auction at the main relay for Life fund raising event.

Each image will not be reproduced in second life in this film strip style again. Only one of each will exist. I do not know for sure if i will sell full sized images of this set, but for now the film strip style will be the only version that exist.

The Auction for relay for life will be held on July 18th during the main relay for life event.

100 Word Story: Cybernetic Delight

Hmmmmmmmm. A moan escapes my lips as electronic fingertips
caress the flesh. Our cybernetic implants connect.

Just a few years ago, who would even think about cybernetics
and sex. Our minds connect. Computer code flashes before my
eyes, then, Oh I can feel it. Through his body, I can feel him
holding me. Ummmmm. 

Oh the fun well have. He can hear my thoughts. He closes his eyes.
A taste of lips, the  feel of muscle and flesh. Basic body chemical reactions intensified a thousand fold.

Electrical impulses, Ecstacy, Primal animal Instinct, who knew lust and  cybernetics could do this.

Today’s Tomorrow

Number one reason why I love second life. There are environments or areas I simply can not create in Photoshop. Even after a months work i could not come close. This is my latest Piece Today's Tomorrow.

3 days of edit time. Many Many hours of getting the glow just right.

A scene like this makes me thank the gods i took the plunge into second life. There are so many different ideas and expressions made every day it brings joy to me. As always please let me know wha tyou think of my latest art piece. And yes I will still leave my watermark in for security purposes. Many many hidden water marks.

Why I am Neko in Second Life

There are to many definitions to what Neko can be. Just try looking up neko on wikipedia and you will see a whole list of definitions. In Second Life terms Nekos are Cat People. It is hard enough to describe but take it like this from my own definition. 

 

Have you ever seen a person in real life move in such a way they are animalistic. Head drawing from side. Senses feel a bit more hyper then they should be. The urge of feeling animalistic wanting to express it self. In some  circles this develops as Furries. And no its not all that Damn CSI episode. Most dress to express the inner feelings that it is hard to feel in their original forms.

When i first started in second life I was the normal human but then started finding different avatars to suit my moods. Lions, Dragons, etc, eventually starting to alter my appearance. Cat eyes. Gods that day i got those it felt so powerful.  What pushed me to go more fully cat like was an Incident between a woman who was my best friend and her stabbing me in the back. But that is old drama for another day.

I pretty much jumped into it full force. Purchased my first neko skin and ears and tail and have worn them ever since.

 

Now What i said about Animalistic self and expression isn’t everyone. Some go neko for a change of pace, others just to experiment. This is the same for Furries in SL also. Its something fun to do. Others just need to express that side of them selves that they really cant in RL.

 

Now there are the people who think if you go Furry then your some sort of sick pervert. This is not the case. For some its an expression of their inner selves. Others Just for Fun. When you stop and get to know the person, you’ll find this out.

Drama in various games in second life

For the past year there has been a popular game in second life called Tiny Empires. After what I’ve heard over the phone in the past few days I have to say what the hell. I know this blog is for my art gallery and related events but I just have to say this.

My Second Life Sister Dani and I both play Tiny Empires and it can be fun. Its kind of like a Medieval Kingdom simulation. You purchase land and try to start up your own empire. A lot of people in second life play this game and it can be neat. But My gripe is the damn drama. People its a game. Just because a person changes being under one liege or another dose not mean the end of the bloody world.  It is a Game People. Meant for fun. You are not in a real empire. No one is going to lose their bloody Life. Geesh.

Sorry I just had to rant.

Hundred Word Story: Free to Be

Topic this week: 2 Very crazy topics but I choose the part Elvis Drives a Bus

Can be heard at : 100 Word story challenge

 

“Its over, Its finally over.” he mutters to him self with relief.
Sure things were great at the beginning, the money, women,
the power. As with all stories, all good has to end. 

Drug use, long crazy nights, movies that never really taxed or
let him grow. He was self destructing.

Over 5 years he saved the money he needed. Paid off the
appropriate people. Soon everyone would think he passed away
tragically.

“Its time” he says. Elvis Drives a Bus. Who would think it.
Driving into the sun, his last thoughts:
“Your finally free of your past. What next”
