Shoot and Counter-Shoot

Alysa and I had a relaxing Sunday afternoon, enjoying doing photo shoots of each other. We work well together and often anticipate what the other needs, so it was an easy shoot and it was nice. I had a great time shooting, and have been continuing to edit the shots in the last few days. Attached are a few pictures!

The Gallery

Alysa and I have been talking about redesigning The Missing Image Gallery for a while. We were inspired into action after seeing our friend Kaiju's work.

We spent Saturday making the structures and moving half of the art in place, and Sunday we moved the rest of the art, set up teleporters and opened for business. We'll be adding some furniture here and there to make it homey, soon. Oh, and we dropped the prices on our art to just 150L!

We ended up using slightly fewer prims than before, and have a smaller gallery which holds more pictures effectively, and makes browsing easier! We're both happy with the results. There is the lobby area which we hope will display the works of other artists, soon... our special exhibit area for special rotating displays... a Travelogue exhibit... our famous Futanari gallery, and a photo studio.

We welcome all to check it out! You'll find it in the Cataclysm sim off the square in the south of the sim, on the west side.

The Sofa, Part 2

Today I helped Alysa with a second sofa at the bar. Mostly I just sat where she asked me to, so she could adjust poses. But it turned out she used a texture I made, so I had a hand in it!

I coaxed her on the cuddle pose so that I could take a pic for the blog. Of course, the pic I took is all about her bum and you can hardly see (or notice) the bit of sofa in the frame!

The Sofa

After a long time talking about it i finally got myself to make a new sofa. Seeing i was really looking against to place the poses in the prims and adjust them i took the easy way out, i bought a whole bunch of cuddles at Pillow. And making the sofa was easy. Only thing that took time was to adjust all the cuddles and poses. But now we got 10 cuddles and 9 individual poses. The carpet has 5 poses in it, two pillows at the backseat and the c

age on the little table. And it looks like this..

I'm famous?

Koinup contacted me a couple of weeks ago and asked if I would allow the use of some of my images for a mobile wallpaper app, and for promotion of this app. I agreed. The first banner ad came out today, and I am front and center. Whee.

More info on the app is here:

Ave Maria

At the wonderful sim Ave Maria, created by the most talented Lucia Cyr. She made a grand castle with so many places to discover i got lost in the process. In the sky you find her shop, Lost Haven with some awesome fantasy gear. Wearing: Lost Haven Red Midnight Sorceress

If you never been here before you should go. Just search in Second Life on Lost Haven or Ave Maria.

Snow Leopard photo shoot

I did a photoshoot yesterday with myself as a model. I'm so easy to work with! Two shots are here. Others are in the gallery. Check them out at the Missing Image Gallery in Cataclysm.

Dark Sacrifice

Alysa and I did a quick, dark shoot in Insilico. Here is one of the shots.

New little project done.. Me!

I been working on some new pictures and i placed them up at our Gallery for you to view, but here is one picture.

One garden down! One garden up!

We been thinking and considering more gardens in our town. It took some time because we had a great little forest and we didn't wanted to remove it. But today we took a closer look at it. Shye already had picked a rooftop for it and we first started to just place prims and try out different ideas. We had a lot of ideas but some just didn't worked or didn't worked with other ideas. In the end we managed to make something out of it. We bought a little stream, seeing we both can't make sculpties and the water looks really nice. And while we where there we also got a little pond.

So after we had the first drawing and the first build (second picture) we went to dismantle to forest in the sky to get the needed resources. It was a shame to do it but the forest was so far away from the town it didn't make part of it. Now we got a garden in the middle.. or rather at the top of the city.

The last picture shows the end result for now. You can not see everything. Most flowers and plants don't really show, a like other small stuff. There are a few nice cuddles and seats, it became an excellent place to relax and hang with a friend.

We hope you all will enjoy it as much we do.

Two Years Together

Tonight marked two years since Alysa and I partnered in Second Life. That's an eternity in SL! And it has been a great two years. Of course, like any "couple" we have had our down moments, but they are always cast aside with the realization of what awesome virtual friends we are.

A little over two years ago, on New Years Eve, we spent a long night together in Second Life. First, seeing a live music show with Sojurn Rossini, then we _______, and then we rang in her new year, and then we ______, and then we rang in my new year... I'll leave you to fill in the blanks. It was the most memorable time I have had in Second Life, before or since. For me, it was the night that led to our partnership less than a week later.

So, when I saw that Sojurn Rossini was playing in SL on our "anniversary", I thought it was perfect! Except..... he canceled.

So we ended up some other place, listening to some other performer. We danced, and chatted, and listened to music. It wasn't what I planned, but it was a nice evening with my partner.

After two years, I still love you, Alysa. Thanks for being here for me!

The Scrap Hut!

The Scrap Hut is a great little shop at Cataclysm. The owner is Darcy Foxtrot and besides making clothing she also makes cool items like frames you can wear in Second Life so you can make a snapshot with a frame around you! Little bags and she can make such awesome pictures which she makes very special and one of a kind. That is something you have to see for yourself. I am not sure if she still makes though as she has changed her shop recently, but you can find a LM giver to her main store. So check it out!
