Yesterday, I visited Orange, Feint and Bone… *edit* I have realised, since my visit here, that I forgot to use ‘shared environment’. Hence, my images of ‘Orange’, are not orange! That being said, I went back and checked to see what I’d missed, and I actually prefer my images, taken using ‘mid-day’ windlight. *edit ends*…
… this build is pure whimsy and fun…
… from some angles, it can appear a bit ramshackle/chaotic, but if you choose your sightlines with care, the crazy jumble of objects turns into wonderful elements placed with zen-like precision. I loved this big, shell-like thing…
… it’s patterning, size, and shape instantly reminded me of a Chris Foss spaceship…
… my favourite thing, here…
… was this wonderful guy! I loved his size/shape/colouring, everything, he’s perfect. The sim owner/creator, Livio Korobase, said hello to me, as he’d seen me wondering around and obviously setting up shots, I must have been there for at least half an hour at that stage. We got chatting, and I told him how much I loved this fish… and he gave me one! Totally made my day…
… I spent at least another half hour, here, setting up shots, and waiting for favourable cloud formations. Even stood in the rain to get some good shots…
… I just loved it, here. There is such a lovely balance of space/shape/placement here, when you find the magical angle to resolve it…
… such a delightful collection of seemingly disparate objects…
… I’m a huge fan of the very talented Mr Bader and all that he creates…
… not only does he create and sell some of SL’s absolute best landscaping elements, as well as much else, but he has created these sanctuaries to advertise his work, but made them as free-to-visit and photograph…
… back when I was a noob with visions of using full-perms materials to create wonders that would enrich me, I had cause to ask him a few dumb questions; he was always very kind and never condescending, which, in itself always makes me like a creator…
… but, on top of that, he just creates the most amazing scenery elements…
… that I’m sure many of you will have seen in almost any decent sim build you have ever been in…
… which he has used to create this stunning, open-air sales room…
… I was straight away struck by the gorgeous chocolate/gold palette…
… the cute golden star canopy is impossible to ignore, and below is another Cica Ghost world filled with wonderful critters…
… both big…
… and small…
… there’s a much greater feeling of wide-open space here, compared to her other stuff. I also found the whole thing feels more ‘industrial’ than her previous worlds, still very organic, but, somehow, more industrial, almost ‘Steampunk’, even, though only very loosely, and filtered through Cica Ghost’s wonderful mind… perhaps ‘Surreal Steampunk’?…
… I never leave one of her worlds without checking the shore, out. I managed to find a tiny island, a little way from the shore…
… where I could delight in the star canopy meeting the horizon.
