Pure Gorgeousness

A few months ago, Mj couldn’t do hands… now it regularly does near-perfect hands…

… it’s not just hands it’s gotten better at, though…

… it can create really gorgeous expressions, now…

… not to mention just pure gorgeousness altogether…

… once again, or still, I am so engrossed/addicted to my Mj exploration, I have run far ahead of what I have been posting, seldom getting bored with what I am producing, themes appearing, developing, then morphing into new themes, sometimes daily…

… one moment, futuristic carnival queens, the next moment… future-flappers…

… a sub-theme I have become enamoured of, and which now runs through all my other theme explorations…

… is the fabulous clothing you can create/evolve with Mj…

… I, long ago, realised I get better results without mentioning style in my prompts. As soon as you mention a style, Mj pours out boring, cliched fluff that, for me, has zero originality… but if you steer Mj toward a style you like, with careful (dare I say ‘skilful’) iteration…

… the results feel much more rich/unique, to me (:

New Style

My friend Fau recently introduced me to the 16:9 aspect ratio in Mj…

… this is, basically, classic ‘landscape’ format, which has always been a favourite format of mine, but this is the first time I’ve experimented with changing the format in Mj…

… I’m having to readjust to this format, from working on the basically square format I’ve used ever since I started playing with Mj, but I’m loving it…

… the other aspect of my new style is, well, the style…

… I have been attempting to chronologically show my development in Mj, with all my previous posts, meticulously posting new work in the order I have created it…

… but I have been on such a creative roll, these last few weeks, and have literally created hundreds and hundreds of images, most of them good, a lot of them amazing…

… that the gap between my current work, and the latest chronologically posted update, is now far too big, and rapidly getting bigger…

… so I just thought, fluff it, I’ll jump to my latest work, which is why it looks so different, yet, really, still obviously a development of my style. The new format, however, I feel, has dramatically added to the new look (:

Dream Fashion II

More gorgeous dream fashion…

… dwellers of surreal realms…

… dressed in the latest…

… dream raiment…

… they walk confidently through these strange worlds…

… accompanied by familiars…

… spirit animals…

… and friendly passers-by (:

Car Picture Fun

Today, when I had nothing to do, and nowhere to go, Veyot asked me if I wanted to submit a ‘car picture’ to an upcoming exhibition she was curating for Xaraz Gallery. I scrounged through my inventory, trying to find something suitable… I actually got second place in an ‘autoerotica’ photo competition, several years ago, but, when I pulled that image up, it was just too embarrassing… not because there was nudity in it, because there was none (mine was the only entrant that didn’t contain nudity/near-nudity, or blatant sex, which was why I was very surprised to even get second place)… no, it was embarrassing because it was me, pre-mesh!… so, I thought ‘fuck it, I’ll just shoot something, now’…

… I was feeling pretty playful, so just went with that feeling…

… going for something I don’t normally aim for…

… just silly and dramatic…

… I had a great time!…

… synchronistically, I had just rediscovered this wonderful photo-sim at Ison, so knew exactly where to find a sweet auto to play around (:

Belzebubble

One of my favourite SL clothing brands is the eponymously named Belzebubble…

… whose super-cute logo is a back-the-front B, back-to-back with a B, and the B’s have little devil horns…

… her clothing is clearly not aimed at people who dress like me, more the ‘Barbie-bimbo’ crowd, it has very bright colours, most of which I don’t actually like because they are too bright, but I love the white, black and the pink, which is one of the prettiest pinks in SL. All her stuff comes with wonderful HUD’s that give you a really good range of options. I love her entire brand collateral, it is totally consistent, bright and cute, her advertising panels are like frames from a comic…

… her gear has gorgeous fabric textures…

… but what I love about all her stuff is that it fits my Maitreya Lara Petite body perfectly, almost BOM-perfectly. Because of that excellent fit, it goes under a wide range of clothes that I wear. I often wear BB gear under my jackets…

… and when I’m wearing little short skirts, my BB Alpha Panties are a must. In this set, though, I’m wearing my new ‘Kioke’ bodysuit, so I don’t need the Alphas. The thing that totally makes the BB brand, for me, though, is dealing with Belzebubble herself, when you have problems or questions, she always replies to requests for help, and she’s always lovely. I’ve never met her, but I really like her. That’s why I’m doing this little Belzebubble post, as a way of saying ‘thanks’ for your wonderful customer service, Belzebubble (:
