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^^

Merry Xmas from Outer Space

Merry Xmas to all of SLers! ^.^
Reciently, I am enojoying to make snapshots at SL, and Xmas is very good opportunity to make it i thought, so I made this pic ^^
This pic shows an astronaut girl in the space, and I tried to make letters that have laser beam effect ^^


This snapshot shows work in progress.
I was trying to make above pic without any re-touch work on graphics apps because I wanted to make it with concentrate for short term.
This limitation also makes simple and "live" feel, so I like the way^^



About letters, I made them with reguler prims.
You can see all of the fonts behind me on the pic^^
Then, I made some effects and wear it to HUD!
HUD seems to make Parallel projection, so it is good for graphics design also^^

Btw, my cute cloties from "-SHE- Christmas Lolita White".
I love the hood shape a lot :D
