So yes I've been in a bit of a "painterly" kick though exploring creating a faux oil paint style is not so new as I've also done :<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tudor Portrait</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The techniques I've employed are slightly different in both.The above is more to do with creating an aged effect , by overlaying a cracklature over the original. The later is more of a morph in order to get the painterly strokes down what i did was to overlay a similar oil painting portrait on top so that the strokes would align. Then it was a case of blending and creating strokes to fit my original screen cap. in SL.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
So this is my second attempt at the previous technique and I think I have more of a handle on the idea. Essentially, it helps to think of the water colour technique itself which is ink on wet. Using a few strokes of the brush to gesture a form by suggestion rather than detail. (Is my theory).</div>

One of my favourite movies for its pure visual feast is the Guy Ritchie directed for screen adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. I love how steampunk it is visually and draw some inspiration from it at times.<br />
Here's an image I came across on the web of Adler; who is Holme's fatalistic love interest.<br />

I wanted to try and recreate a similar sort of style<br />
And took this image using the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thewhitearmory/22815455718/in/pool-2934374@N25/" target="_blank">New! SMD Victoria Faun Gown Set</a>:<br />

<br />
Life happens and our priorities are goal posts that keep shifting as we grow and change. I do know that I am preaching to the choir here so I'll sum this all up to simply say that I am getting back to things again. Creating, making images and peeking a little out of my shell.<br />
<br />
Also, in this resurfacing I'd like to post kudos to these amazing creators who continue to inspire me with their creations.<br />

About: Calico Ingmann is really creative in her hair designs which are mostly fantastical in nature with brilliant braids and general "largeness" as part of her repertoire. She also does awesome beards! The best way to look up Calico hair is to visit her inworld store as she doesn't really keep up with all the other social media avenues.<br />

About: My relationship with this designing duo of <a href="https://bluemoonenterprise.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">BME</a> and <a href="https://thewhitearmory.com/?wref=bif" target="_blank">White Armory</a> is newest and again springing from my involvment with MFGC though the experience so far has been amazing. They design luxuriant and detailed costumes in fitted mesh for several of the major mesh body brands. I admit to feeling a bit like a kid at x'mas each time they send a blogger pack my way! <3<br />

It has been a while since I've had the chance to sit down and write again. So whilst I will catch up on my flickr posts - I wanted to write about some of the things that I have been making for a few events around the Grid.

I love the beautiful details that come with Ys&Ys' Belinda Skin (Here in Tone 01).<br />
These pick up very well when using lighting for materials.<br />

I haven't had much of a chance to sit down and dedicate myself to blogging as much as I had wanted to but I'm determined to be all caught up by day's end today. There's so much I find myself wanting to tell you; not only about things happening around the grid and so on...<br />
So to get things underway.. Shiny Shabby's March round has opened and there is definitely an air of spring to the collection with many lovely fresh colours, botanicals and eggs as I shall happily reveal over the coming days.<br />

Art Deco and Art Nouveau are some of my favourite periods in art and coincidentally - as one of my (many) side projects; I'd been fabricating some hand-drawn art deco style "Great Gatsby" inspired wallpaper which is what I've used in the background to these images.<br />
<br />
Bambi is such a creative designer who lavishes so much detail on all of her projects and this one is no exception with its jewelled/embroidered rosettes, feathers and sparkling gem stones. Perfect for every chic flapper living it up in virtual 1920's.<br />

Soooooo....<br />
<div>
Well, I think I can take my "Blogging" hobby to extremes sometimes - when I have an idea in mind on a sort of image I want to create but cannot find the items I need to make this happen, I make these props myself; which is how this dress and telescopic cigarette holder came to be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll have a mini rant here about the idea that "bloggers" are free loaders begging for free stuff.</div>
<div>
This really infuriates me because to reach this point (writing this blog) has been a labour of love with hours invested in creating the dress (2+ hrs), the cigarette (2+ hrs), the look , the shoot and pose (many more hours) - and that's not even including how long it takes for me to sit down and gather my thoughts to compose a blog entry in itself. This culture of misunderstanding really makes me shy away from applying to blog for anyone. *mumbles*</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes I am frustrated at myself for being "trapped" by details - I have this need to get it just so... and this cigarette holder is a good example. I just could not seem to find one on marketplace with the exaggerated length and telescopic detail I wanted in the design like so :</div>

<br />Amongst their latest releases is this fitted mesh kirtle :<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O9ossDjqSMo/VsbJuROnm3I/AAAAAAAADpE/U-cHNRJoLss/s1600/%255Bf%255D%2BKirtle%2Bof%2Bthe%2BForkbeard%2527s%2BChain%2B%257BHaida%257D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O9ossDjqSMo/VsbJuROnm3I/AAAAAAAADpE/U-cHNRJoLss/s320/%255Bf%255D%2BKirtle%2Bof%2Bthe%2BForkbeard%2527s%2BChain%2B%257BHaida%257D.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This inspired me to create the image "Like ink in water"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kirtle may be most often associated with Gor type rp costumes, but I still think that this design bridges that gap because of its timeless shape. With its raggedy ends, it can even look quite modern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though it has not been rigged for mesh bodies, this still fit fairly well on my Maitreya Lara 3.5.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They even provide a guide on how you might fit the clothing with appropriate alpha recommendation in a helpful accompaniment like so.</div>

The textures on this outfit are pretty awesome!
While this does fit over Maitreya Lara in this image, the alphas for this mesh body do not match well for the corset part. Particularly at the back where you have a nice lace detail and bare back design, this is problematic. However this outfit comes in three separate parts and is perfect for mix and match.
I'm using size M for Armour and Skirt and S for the Corset<br />

<br />
Bear with me :-)<br />
<div>
I'm always finding something new to learn about blogging so this is kind of an elaboration on some of the things I've experimented with.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's not always easy to blog about a piece of furniture from a practical point of view ie. how is it to use? I think the SL Grid and furniture makers are divided on this point.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the one you have makers that excel in design and so the furniture looks great but isn't particularly full of animations that can be considered " Useful" in your Second Life experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the other you have makers that excel in imagination but not execution. So perhaps their furniture looks less "chic" but is irrelevant to you from a role-playing/living point of view.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then of course you have the few who are good at both - but this also comes with a price tag outside what you might be willing to invest in $L for.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes I live a little in both worlds in my SL experience ie. The highly aesthetic, "glam" world of art and design - and the more "I can imagine this cardboard box is a castle" world inhabited by people who play.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Somewhere in the middle perhaps is where we might find Homebase Furniture.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Coincidentally<a href="http://homebase.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Homebase in the UK </a>is the brand of a DIY/Sundries/Garden Centre chainstore.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This Lap dance chair from Homebase SL has a pretty worn and simple aesthetic. The shop does not, at this time of blogging , have a comprehensive presence on MP and any information I have managed to glean about them has been hard won! They have a <a href="https://m.facebook.com/HomebaseSL/" target="_blank">facebook page</a> and an <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Free/227/37/1502" target="_blank">in world</a> store which is interesting but slightly chaotic to navigate in. That's ok :) my brain is quite like that myself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Made in 100% Mesh, the chair comes in Black or Red and is scripted with AV Sitter to seat two persons without the need for messing around with poseballs. The two sitting arrangements can also work independently, with some single sits to choose from if you are in the chair, and a variety of dances to play with; if you are the entertainment. The chair I have featured here is described as Red but depending on your windlight settings, it can appear closer to being a sort of Russet brown.</div>
<div>
There are not many simple casual poses in this piece as it dives straight into the action with a menu for Lap Dancing/Slave Dancing and Sex</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To better illustrate the sort of animations you might find in the chair,<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've made this little machinima!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gxrw-N3Clcs" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's really quite a fun little thing and I hope it gives you a little tease. <3</div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
It isn't too hefty land impact wise at a relatively slim 4LI with Copy Mod permissions. I can see this being quite good at clubs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the price which is $L250 it won't break the bank and the animations are mo cap. Also being scripted with AV Sitter means you can adjust and save your personal settings if you do not quite fit the animations in its default.</div>

I've lots to write about really and my flickr stream is happily trickling along with all sorts of images I've made inspired by designers and events across the grid.<br /><br />I have written a few blogs about<a href="https://bluemoonenterprise.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> Blue Moon Enterprises</a> before and it's truly not hard to do as I find myself inspired by what they create and over such a vast range of items as well! I've been playing movie catchup over on Amazon prime. I'd seen "Divergent" on an aeroplane but never quite invested in its sequel. Still, as far as movies go - if you don't poke too many holes in the already thin plot, it's quite enjoyable.<br />

The outfit in the above images is <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/109542875@N04/24064857314/in/pool-2858584@N22/" target="_blank">Breeze</a> by <a href="https://bluemoonenterprise.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">BME</a> and has been crafted for the <a href="http://alice066.wix.com/fairplay" target="_blank">Fair Play</a> event. The Fair Play event itself is an interesting one as it sets out to raise funds for <a href="http://www2.michaeljfox.org/site/TR/TeamFox/TeamFox?px=1148354&pg=personal&fr_id=1720" target="_blank">Parkinsons</a> and<a href="http://relayforlifeofsecondlife.org/" target="_blank"> RFL</a> .<br />
This is one area in which <a href="https://secondlife.com/corporate/brand/trademark/reference.php" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> Second Life</span><sup style="background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 0;"></sup></a>® might differ from other online "games".<br />
<br />
I wanted to capture the details (and spirit) of Breeze - to show off the great leather/suede textures used together with the almost barely visible celtic pattern on the chest plate. These are things that I really admire and enjoy in creations - the subtle details that someone has thought off which you might hardly notice but that are there if you care to look. I'm very much that way myself.<br />
<br />
The full outfit comes in several wearable parts - Skirt, Pants, Bustier and Arm Bracers. This enables you to mix and match your personal style. It is also fitted mesh* (for Slink though I've worn it in these pictures over Maitreya Lara) or to wear in full as in "Dauntless".<br />
<br />
I've modelled it here with the<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/orsquan/24470638955/in/dateposted/" target="_blank"> Safeguard Necklace</a> from Minimal which is out in <a href="http://shinyshabby.com/" target="_blank">Shiny Shabby</a> (Till the new February round starts!) as well as this great new hairstyle (Arya) from Calico Hair for the <a href="http://weloveroleplay.weebly.com/" target="_blank">We <3 RP event</a> . This hair comes in two options for wearing and has a Hud that enables you to change the colours of the accessories in your hair. It also comes in a good range of different colour packs to suit most. It is rigged fairly well as you can see in the above images.<br />
<br />
*Whilst this works fine for my photographs it may not wear as well with your AO.<br />

Quite often it's the prop, dress or accessory that will inspire an idea for the images that I make. Lately though I've been thinking about this process and other such ponderings between what makes a fashion photograph different from an art photograph or a blog photograph and so on...<br />
For someone like me, I do try to make images to please myself and often that treads a fine line between what will showcase a product and what will lend voice to my own artistic expressions.
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can certainly understand when sponsors make certain demands of bloggers such as requesting that outfits be shown clearly and in their entirety or similar. Lately there's been a profusion of blogger searches with an upfront list of demands such as :<br />
<hr />
<br /></div>
– have a blog that is at least 3 months old<br />
<br />
– are able to blog a minimum of 9 items over the course of 3 blog posts for each cycle<br />
<br />
– are able to publish at least 1 post, within 3 days of the start of each cycle*<br />
<br />
– are able to create high quality blog pictures to showcase the items from our event<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
☆ We are looking for quality reviews of all items in blog content with enticing descriptions and details of any events along with dates, landmarks and store locations.<br />
<br />
You will be required to “Report” each blog on a Google Doc<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The list goes on and often I feel there is very little empathy or consideration in this proceedings for bloggers as individuals; what their natures are like - how they blog and why and so on and so forth...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<hr />
Bloggers themselves have to review their own integrity, why they might include something in review. I think they often try very hard to be inclusive to all designers in as much as they can be but often not to the satisfaction of Merchandisers.<br />
<br />
What is the difference between :<br />

I came by this <a href="http://www.withlove.blog.br/2016/01/black-is-beautiful-challenge.html" target="_blank">challenge</a> from reading about it on Amelie Fravoisse's <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/49084457@N03/24174327373/in/dateposted/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> ; which I think is superb.<br />
<br />
The challenge :<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

</ul>
</blockquote>
I wanted to keep the photography simple but to make use of materials and mesh which enables you to really bring out light reflection that is true of real life portraits of this ethnicity - eg :<br />
<br />

As an event, Shiny Shabby is quite unique - drawing together some top designers who offer a diverse and interesting assortment of things to suit a wide variety of tastes.<br />
<div>
There is often a Boho eclecticism to the collection that suits me to a T, and I'm always excited when a new round starts. There's also the fact that each round doesn't always have the same designers participating and it's possible to see what is new, talented and interesting around the grid here.</div>

These are some fashion looks that I've put together from just this current January round :</div>

I'm quite eclectic in my image making process and this is constantly influenced by the creations of others in my<a href="http://secondlife.com/" target="_blank"> virtual adventures</a> .<br />
<div>
There's a sort of definitive aesthetic to classical fantasy images ala. dungeons and dragons. No doubt this had a large influence in my own approach in staging this shoot.</div>

I love that transmutable nature of SL. One day vampire, next day warrior princess!
<a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/172576">Noble Creations</a> (part of MFGC <a href="https://medievalsl.wordpress.com/">https://medievalsl.wordpress.com/</a>) is the main inspiration for my classical Fantasy image today and this gorgeous gorgeous shoulder dragon from Katatonic (Just sized up!)
The New Stuff :<br />
From Noble Creations @ <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nymphai/149/82/3100?TB_iframe=true&width=1720.8&height=819.9">Secret Affair</a> - Amazon Warrior Crown (Ends 29th Jan)<br />

<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Serena%20Gardena/93/46/28" target="_blank">Calico Hair</a> makes some great hair that has this fantastical element to it and this one is 'Febe' from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Waterton%20Way/47/178/2795" target="_blank">Hairlogy</a><br />
I'm using poses from<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Remarkable/77/197/23" target="_blank"> An Lar poses</a>. Both "Simpli III" and "Honour" Series are from <a href="http://www.shinyshabby.com/" target="_blank">Shiny Shabby.</a> <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The original screen shot for " Together we can bring the storm I"<br />
I plan to increase the contrast in these pictures so when I take them, <br />
I take them dark but light the models for contrast<br />
This is most illustrated in the model's arm. <br />
You can see I have set up two light sources (front and back)<br />
in order to create this outline of light. <br />
For light reflections to work well in SL you must have advanced lighting on.</td></tr>

Other details of note :</div>
<div>
I'm using the corset part from a B@R outfit I also used in my <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ditadata/10370769444/in/album-72157646071655015/" target="_blank">steampunk dolly shoot</a> taken long before I became a Genre designer myself!</div>
<div>
The Axe is from an outfit by Poet's Heart called Barbaric. Unfortunately you're not able to see in these shots that it actually has a very ornate bear shaped handle.</div>
<div>
The arm wraps are a gacha prize I won from an FGC round by DPD.</div>

It's a pleasure to be able to showcase some of the things that are out in Shiny Shabby this round because they are crafted with such skill! I find them very inspiring in my own image making and I hope you will too! Or if image making isn't your bag, then just for the pure pleasure of dressing up your own persona!<div>

I really like this item from May Tolsen's <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cies%20Island/236/192/23" target="_blank">Tentacio</a> for this round called "Black Duchaness" - it is a three piece accessory consisting of veil, crown and roses.</div>
<div>
Also I think the new <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Manifesto/76/90/24" target="_blank">Elysium</a> skin " Rosie" by Aleida Rhode is worth a mention for its beautiful detailing and naturalistic tones. I love the shape of the brows which I think really adds to the character of the model.</div>

Finally there's this amazing rigged Vampire backlace by dM! which is available to buy in store <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/deviousMind/63/68/33" target="_blank">Here!</a> (yes I've looked it up for you and this <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/deviousMind/63/68/33" target="_blank">SURL</a> should take you straight to it!) :</div>
