Tutorial Binging

I spent the day buried in Photoshop and tutorials on YouTube, lol. I spent hours learning how to add the shadows and highlights and working on a picture I thought would be so cool for a profile pic. Well, I learned the profile picture isn't a square!

 So I spent a longer time reworking a new photo using a different method for the shadows and ended up over-editing it. I am learning! I won't be putting these on Flickr, lol. They're just practice edits.

I absolutely love this hair from Exile. It's arguably my favorite hair. I figured I'd try to do it more justice than the on-the-fly snap I did of it months ago that I've been using as my profile picture, lol.

I wanna grow old with you

Late video is late today! There were several good things on today's rounds, but I didn't buy much to show for it, lol. This shot was fun to do. It was tedious to position all the bones, but I think it worked all right.

I rather like doing a shot without my avatar in it, lol. These skeletons from Cureless are neat. I will probably leave my patio like this for a bit. I like it, lol. While I was setting up this shot, the line from The Wedding Singer song kept popping up in my head-- "I wanna grow old with you." :D

Hold Me Closer

I love when shoes inspire a whole outfit, lol. I'm in love with the platform ballet slippers from REIGN. I love any flat platform, really. But these are just too cute! Had to get my ballerina on, lol.

 

After I took the shot and began editing, I realized I'd like to have had the toe pointing a bit more, but I'll have mercy and myself and my computer and let it be, lol. The cute hair is a new group gift from (red) Mint, and the group is free to join.

Fingers Crossed

One of the reasons I started taking photos of my avatar was to capture a particular outfit before I changed it. Yes, I do save outfits, and snapshots can be saved in-world. But I'm cheap and creative, lol. Today is one of those days when I'm taking a photo simply because I love the outfit -- no scenery, no props-- just the look.

 

I love playing with fantasy skins, especially the darker Drow tones. I knew this dress from Dead Dollz would look awesome over dark skin, so I had to do it! This skin is from a Gacha that was at AlterEgo, which closed at the first of the year. :'(

Fifty Linden Friday 1-20-17

This week's FLF was pretty good. The photo I took doesn't feature everything I got. I usually try to, but time got away from me today.

I'm still figuring out how to put images here, lol. The sizing is throwing me off. This whole b/vlogging thing has been a huge learning experience since I began in July. It's also been fun. That's why I keep doing it. :)

Shoes: Livalle - Aurora Oxfords - Slate
Necklace: Maxi Gossamer - Love Catcher Heart

Partyish

I was finally able to go outside of my parcel for a photo! It was super laggy, and I didn't get the perfect shot, but it's still pretty cool to get some variety. Tomorrow is my RL birthday, so I figured I'd set the mood with a photo, lol.

This type of style will probably crop up a lot in my photos (if I keep this blog thing up). I do like to change it up a bit, but I love the darker, Gothic look of things, so it's usually my go-to style. I found this setting at a sim called Furillen from the Blogger Support Sim Locations group on Flickr.

Manic Monday, or something....

Getting my feet wet....damn, I should have made a picture of that, lol... Oh well...

This is my first attempt at including a blog post with a photo. I tried going on location in SL, but my computer couldn't really handle the high graphics on other sims. Maybe someday! So for today, my porch will be featured. :)

This outfit is made up of a few new things and some old. The skin, dress, and pants are from the most recent Fifty Linden Friday sale. And the shoes were on sale from KC over the weekend. I love the style of the wedge with the bit of color inside. After shooting, I noticed that wasn't featured, so I added in the little circle. I'm learning, lol!

First Post - No Luxe Box Video for January

I decided to make a blog so I could add more than just images to my content without having to make a video. I'm not going to film a Luxe Box unboxing video this month because A. there's plenty to watch already, and B. I didn't have the time today lol...
That said, I don't really make videos to get views, but I did notice that my Luxe Box videos are the least popular videos on my channel. So for now, I will stick to my FLF tours and other randomness as it falls. I will revisit filming the Luxebox in February.
I'm always open to suggestions or requests.
I know just doing FLF videos can become monotonous to watch AND to film, so hopefully I will come up with new content one of these days lol....
This post will probably never be seen. I am just checking out how this works. So far, this blog is fugly and needs some darkness. >.> 
It also needs a name....Good Stuff works for now.

It's hard to figure out how to get the cursor down here after I put a picture in...hmmmm... And now the font is bigger...........

Hmmmmmmmmmmm........ 

Yeah...can't figure that one out.. I've even highlighted everything and changed it to Default font..

It's a mystery....and why is this centered... 

➷Ok figured that out.....but the font thing is still bugging me......oh well.....

I think that vodka shot kicked in...I should close this before it gets any weirder. :p
