Play Time

It's been a minute since I made a blog post, so here I am. I had some unexpected free time today and got distracted by playing with windlights and photo settings. This is a super blurry/bright shot, but it seems to work for me.

Most of this outfit is from April's BishBox. I love everything in it! It's hard to decide what to wear with what, lol. I might end up playing with other snaps from this shoot just for the practice in getting a softer look.

Black Magic Woman

I played around with the Black Dragon Viewer today to see how photos came out with it. I do like the quality I can achieve, but I'm a bit confused by some of the settings. I will learn! I also noticed I don't seem to have as many issues with lag while the graphics are high, but that might be due to me being unfamiliar with the viewer.

 

I know everyone and their alt is blogging this gorgeous Blueberry dress the past couple days, and I couldn't help myself either, lol. I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. Sometimes I tend to overdo it on the fog/glow, but I like it a lot in this photo.

Strings for Days!

I am loving my Bento head! Today's shot was a fun one to do. I LOVE this outfit and haven't been able to take it off for a couple of days now, lol. I learn more with each edit. Still unsure how I want to do backgrounds as a blog setup or 'norm,' but I'll eventually settle into a style.

Someday I will get away from full body shots, lol, but shoes complete the outfit for me most the time. This bodysuit from Kenny Rolands is SO well done. I had to make a bee line to Kinky Event for it as soon as it opened!

Monday MJ

I was given some gifts by one of my YouTube subscribers the other day, so I decided to blog about it, lol. I still can't believe anyone actually watches my videos, much less hit the subscribe button! I'm at 138 and counting. That is so crazy to me, lol. I love that my little hobby is interesting and/or helpful enough to be given time. ♥

This cute lil dress from Rhelm is so my style. My "gifter" pays attention, for sure! I love it. Today, I experimented with more brush styles and effects. I've been somewhat lost lately as to what direction I should take to improve my pictures, but I'll just keep trying and hope for the best.

Headspiration!

I finally got a Bento mesh head! I was waiting for Catwa to release Lona at the Skin Fair this weekend so I could demo all four new heads. I really thought I would pick Lona, but I decided on Catya in the end. I'm so glad I can now put more expression into my photos! It's been a while since I've been inspired to work on one, so hopefully this breaks the dry spell, lol.

I'm still working on the shape, but she looks good so far. I have been breaking out all my old skins and trying them on. I've even opted to skip Luxe Box this month and pick up the Powder Pack instead. I'm hoping to get some fresh, new things to use on my fresh, new head, lol.

Inspired Retake

I decided to try and get a retake of the close-up portion of yesterday's shot. I got inspired to try it when I saw how the thumbnail got cropped when I shared it on Facebook, lol. So I made a photo for my profile pic. I had a little trouble getting the size right from a shot that wasn't taken in the right ratio, but I did ok. I'm learning new things from every project I work on, so that's what counts. ☺

Style details in yesterday's blog. ♥

Tall Glass of Practice

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this one. I'm not 100% happy with it, and I'm just practicing. It's very tall. I ended up cutting out some of the sides because the shadow looked odd, and I didn't want to put my computer through setting it up again. I am posting it mainly to honor the designers. Forgive my lack of skill yet. ♥

Tall image is tall, lol! I'm just playing with shadows and seeing what looks nice. I still have trouble getting a sharper image of her face from far away. I'm hoping that will improve when I get a better computer. I still can't get enough big hair and big shoes!
