Our underworld isn’t filled with fear
Just brass and copper, leather scrap, and rusty gear
You can keep your hip-hop techno-pop-rock schleppin-dub
I’m on my way to a coal-powered underground vintage pub

We’ve got a steampunk revolution
We’re tired of all your so-called evolution
We’ve darted back to 1886
Don’t ask us why; that’s how we get our kicks

Skepticism might keep you sane,
but it won’t necessarily keep you alive.

[- Mima Sawsaan, Carnival Row -]

When I was at the Engine Room event today to find my next look for a blog post, I came across that amazing outfit from CHANDRA. When I saw that, I immediately remembered that cool head, which BeSpoke released at the Warehouse Sale this round.
I have no clue why, but I instantly had a “Carnival Row Feeling” – you remember that show on Amazon Prime with Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom? When I found a sim called “Tirna-Nog” in Second Life, I just had to go that path for my picture today!

Lately you hear more and more about AI (Artificial Intelligence) used for artwork. I have to admit, I am not yet fully sold about that, if people create pictures only with AI and kinda just put words to get a full picture. Maybe I am too old to be convinced completely, or I do have a weird mind. Iam 46 years old – I guess it was 46 *laughs* – I learned to draw with pencils and colored pencils as a kid and it took me years to learn how to draw myself on a graphic tablet/monitor (… and I am still learning that). Maybe that is the reason why I can not yet allow myself andl my brain to think about art, if everything is just generated by words and no one ever touched it with any kind of pen, pencil, graphic pens or what ever you can hold in your hand to create something. Ok to be fair, a photographer is slightly different, but in the end he caught a situation with his own eye and camera in his hands as well *snickers* I hope you get what I mean 😉

What I found interesting after I forced myself to look more into AI, is that you do not have to create a complete ready made art piece with it, but you can enhance your work with it. That caught my interest. I am always looking for new tips, tricks and twists I can learn and use for my Second Life pictures.
Lately I was kinda depressed with taking pictures in SL. It felt all the same even if I tried to learn new techniques for Photoshop to enhance my pictures as even Second Life has it’s limits – especially with lights and shadows, movement or even sometimes with posing ot what you can get to set up a scenery.
You can add things you miss, you can correct minor issues, you even can enlarge a scenery if you took the wrong size to make the perfect picture… really interesting and as well exciting. If you miss a backdrop or a background you can kinda create parts of that. I tried to make a whole backdrop first as well but the way it does look like, I decided to not do that yet, as it was too far always from the look of a real Second Life environment and I do enjoy that still a lot. So I tried just to fool around with 2 birds – to be precise 2 crows – I wanted to add to my picture. It did take me quite a while, since I just started to play with it. I had to generate one crow like 50 times until I figured out what I had to put in to have it sit, no spread wings and facing the right direction. After a while I realized, that it does even pick up the lights I had put inworld already and since I wanted to change that a little too, I had to start over again after I worked all my lightning and shadows. I did not yet know how to safe the generated birds yet, so I started over new on those again. Then I wanted to darken the background a little bit and… DANG… the generated birds again looked wrong as they pick up parts of the background as well to fit in properly. Ok… deleting the birds again and get everything else right first *chuckles*.

It was the start of a learning process I really want to look into more, even if I do not want to fully work with AI and my avatar only – Second Life is way to pretty for that and so many amazing creators, designers and sim builders did (and do) put a hell lot of work into creating amazing places for us to be there and to create pictures.

Halloween Nightmares 2023 – Part 2

I know you get too caught up in a moment
You can’t call it love if you show it
We just fuck things up, yeah, I noticed
Yeah, I noticed, hear me? Yeah, I noticed
Step out of the moment
That’s been trappin’ you in all this negativity of hatred and insanity
Don’t dwell on the past, it’s time to make a change
Look around, believe in what you see, I have returned to Hell

[- Halsey  SUGA -]

As promised, here part 2 of my “Halloween Nightmares” series!

I am having way too much fun with that new LeLUTKA “Lilith” head I guess *giggles*. Today I went over to [Glam Affair] again (yesterday I just picked up the 2 new masks for the “Lilith” head) and picked up the amazing “Lilith” skin they made for the new head. They have 5 amazing, different tones for the horns in the pack together with 3 different shades as well.

For the face I found that amazing faceart from [the Skinnery] at FLF-oWeen and wasn’t yet sure how I want to style that up, but with the “Lilith” head I immediately had an idea. With all the gold in the face tattoo, I wanted to have a overall black/golden look and the cool gacha from ANTINATURAL[+] came to my mind. Even if it is quite old and the store doesn’t anymore exist, it made a perfect match for my look together with that incredible animated wings from CURELESS[+].

I have a feeling that this wasn’t my last post for this series yet – I already have another idea. Let’s see if I can make it before Halloween is finally there. On the other hand… why I should stop with the Halloween day? The nights are still long, dark and spooky, even after Halloween *giggles*

TUNES

Stitched you up, put you together
With cotton and feather
Gave you love, put my heart inside you
Oh, what could I do?

When you started talkin’ in your sleep
Saying the things you’d do to me
I didn’t care, I wasn’t scared
Now I’m findin’ knives under the sheets
Crumpled photographs of me
I’m in despair, should I be scared?

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
You were comforting and quiet
How did love become so violent?
Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me

[- Melanie Martinez -]

Time for a little writeup today 😉 I didn’t write for along time more than just some quotes or lyrics. Sometimes you do not have something to say and then it is better to just shut up I was taught in my childhood – I believe that is true.

Life was just a mess the past couple of months and always when I thought it can’t become anymore worse – it did.

It did come to a peak when I was told I cannot be a teacher anymore, because I had already to many limited contracts – about 12 years (I stopped studying after the first exam due a record label contract and some other reasons, which none ever cared until now). Now that Germany is seriously short on teachers, none even thought they would pull that card after so many successful years, but they did. So, while we hear everyday on the news “We desperately need teachers”, I am sitting at home, not yet sure what I am going to do since I was half of my life a teacher and the other half a musician – I am way not the only one facing that situation and no one does understand that idiotic misery.

Long story short – I had to sort my mind first before I wanted to talk about and just underlined my pictures with songs, quotes and emotions I was in during that process. But now we have the dark season of the year – Halloween and so many other holy days, that pulled me out of my corner and back to work – aka styling and taking pictures!

Since I had a lot of time over the past weeks, I was able to so some fun in SL again and I went to do a few cool Halloween themed hunts and visited some cool dark events, where I found a looooooot of strange, spooky and cool things I want to showcase now in a little “Halloween Nightmares” series – And here is it is… Part 1 😉

(Btw it is really funny AND amazing, how you can find lyrics and songs to al kind of weird imaginations like the one I found for todays post *giggles*)

My Bloody Valentine with Prism

by

02-19-2015-02a

On the 14th of February SCALA was having an awesome ‘Bloody Valentine’ fashion show. Who else that Honey Bender could come up with such an incredible idea and as a creative director at SCALA he helped to make this come true.

For all who missed the show… there is an amazing video on youtube, so at least you can get an idea about what I am talking.

BLOODY VALENTINE VIDEO

I felt very honored, when SCALA asked me to be part as a designer and I made 4 very special deigns for that but that will be a another post 😉

Originally I was not counted in as a model as I try to avoid walking shows where my own creations are being showcased, so that I can fully enjoy the show and see what models did with my creations.

But I found my name on the list of the backup models and it was ok because usually at SCALA there are not really any dropouts. Since I am a good girl (yes even me sometimes) I went to the rehearsals so that just could fill in if really needed, since the walks at SCALA usually are not that easy.

After we tried the run order on this amazing maze –  yes we had a lot of fun by exploring where we have to go – we found one little issue and before I even realized I was pulled in for one outfit. And what me lucky girl got assigned?

PRISM! – YAAAAAY!

02-19-2015-01a

I know Journey McLaglen, owner and designer of Prism, usually gives me free reigns to style stuff and she does not mind, if I put my little weird and funky tweak on it :p

So … for Bloody Valentine show and me having free reigns … go figure, I had a lot of fun 🙂

The “Tikka” outfit contains a red, short leather skirt and a creme kinda brownish top with an amazing looking print in the front wich perfectly matches the Bloody Valentine Idea.

First of all I wanted some heavy boots to go into a contrast to the more girly looking short skirt. I remembered some really funky boots wich I got from Remarkable Oblivion (RO), called “Hobnails”. With the cool open front showing some hungry teeth those were the right choice for the themed show 😉

Now since the boots has such a grungy look I wanted to put on some socks and maybe some ripped stockings. :::insanya::: made those as a combination of exactly that… socks with ripped stockings underneath.

I did not wanna go with gloves so I thought about what else I could put on my arms, which felt kinda naked besides the amazing tattoo from Letis Tattoo.

I remembered a great arm gear from Death Row Designs. It comes for both arms but since I like asymmetric things a lot and both would have been too much I just put on the 3 parts for the left arm.

Since the whole look totally became crazy, I needed some crazy hair as well. Wich could do the job better that one of the amazing “Bizarre Hairs” that I have. Sadly the big folder I used to have disappeared some when and never came back. But some of my favourite ones, I got replaced by the very kind MyStiCa Matova, owner and designer of Bizarre Hair and so I am able to use the awesome “Angel of Elements” hair for today’s look.

To underline the Bloody Valentine theme, wich should make a total opposite to the usually sweet and nice Valentine’s Day, I wanted to go drastically on my makeup. REPULSE offers a lot of really creepy makeups and I could not resist to go for the “Worm Eye” for the right eye and a little “Forced Smile” for the left side of my mouth corner.

And last but not least, something I wanted to do in forever on a SL runway since I am used to do that in RL on stage when we play with the band… I wanted to smoke a cigarette and I know this was the only time I could get away with that :p.

I really had fun developing that look and I am very sure that the “Tikka” outfit from Prism would have never thought to be worn in that way 😉
