Daisy Delight


Spring does not come yet, in japan, it will comes in few monthes, so I made spring on my pic ^o^
This time, I wanted to make taste like "Water Color Illustration" because I tought it will shows spring mood well^^ and also I wanted to make it without post-process... anyway, I started to work it!


This is whole view of "photo studio" for the pic. You can see some transparency boards... these will make water color effects ^^




Flower objects that I bought allowed to modify, so I had an idea to make "daisy cap" !
Then, I got help from my friend Emily to make title for the pic and she made great title^^
I am really loving the title "Daisy Delight" ^^

Spring Calling

Japan still cold winter now, so I had an idea to make above pic.
This pic shows a girl waiting for call from spring^^ of course, spring is a season so it does not use Cell Phone XD, but I wanted to make it personification^^
Also, I tried to make composition like japanese traditional painting with this pic, it have some unique forms, for example.. have not strong perspective, show depth with bottom line position of objects on pic, simplified lines to make strong suit for the screen, and etc...

Then I put a Cell Phone, Cell Phone and Kimono(japanese traditional dress) can be symbols of japanese culture both, and also it makes "mix" tradition and modern, so I thought it is "graphical" ^^


I made above pic without any post-process on graphics app, and this time, I wanted to avoid to show floor surface, so I used 100% alpha texture for the floor prim.





I also made gradient transparency prim for HUD.
This prim was made to give effect looks like old camera lens in real life^^
The texture have circle gradient around near edges, and it makes ppl to remember memories of Photography.

Happy New Year 2009!

Happy new year to all of SLers! ^.^
In japan, new year 3days are important days with tradition that called "Oshougatsu".
They decorate their houses, put traditional clothies, go to shirne, and eat baked rice cake ^^
They also had christmas events few days ago, so japanese old big media (TV, etc) change the mood from christmas to Oshougatsu quickly! @o@

Anyway, this tradition have unique style, so I thought it will fun if I make it at SL^^


I made above pic only at SL, yes, this is a snapshot without any works on graphics app.
I built this "photo studio" at a sandbox.






Letters made by reguler prims and I attached it to HUD when taking snapshot.
I wanted to make "japanese letters mood" with english alphabets, so I placed them from top to bottom and showed virtical lines, writing from top to bottom is japanese traditional style you know^^
And I put some degrees with the prim letters, so virtical parts of them became thick and looks like more japanese traditional mood^^
