Just a quick post!

It was about time I went and got a new skin and I decided on the new one by Fruk, the one they named Bennett, and I’m very happy with it. As you can see… so is she. ;D

That’s it really, the only other thing I wanted to mention has vanished from my memory so you’ll just have to go without. I’m sure it was a very wise, profound and interesting statement about fashion, life, love or comic books… one of those things.

Take care all.

It was about time I posted something, I have been very lazy of late, and dare I say it – I have not been terribly original with this outfit but, when I saw the jacket, I wanted it. This is pretty much how I dress in real life, love a pair of black jeans with turn ups. It’s pretty much the classic vintage look, which all seemed to fall together rather easily. Can’t go wrong with black and brown, as long as you balance it right.

I was pretty excited to play with shadows for the first time as I fixed my monster of a PC and it all runs smoothly and everything looks pretty smashing. Looking forward to experimenting with, more so than I have done here. I should stop putting my work down shouldn’t I. Yes Akami, stop that now.

Recently a lot of you have switched over to using Exodus Viewer and have been contacting me about a few things that you guys are all having problems with. I figured I’d cover them all here cuz it seems everyone is having the same issues.

1. Lines and/or glitches on your pictures: I did get that as well in the latest releases so I have actually gone back to Beta 5 which is available at this link: 11.10.31.1 That’s the release that is working best for me right now without any glitches or other issues. I will keep updating with every new release though and see if it works better for me.
2. New snapshot window: The new snapshot feature is actually part of SL Viewer 3 that Exodus has adapted. You will find the snapshot feature like this not only in Exodus but also in the official SL 3 viewers and any other viewer that has adapted the v3 UI. It’s a bit tricky to get used to but here are some screenshots of the steps you take to take a pic now:
   a. Click Save to Computer
   b. Click Resolution
   c. Choose your desired resolution and hit save
3. My resolution and graphics card: I shoot all of my pictures at 5760×3084 resolution and I have a gtx 560ti graphics card. All of the images you see on my blog are photoshopped (unless otherwise stated).

The tattoo I’m wearing is from Huz Tats. Huz Tats temporarily does not have an inworld location at the moment so if you’ve been looking to pick up some of the brilliant tattoos from there, you can try looking on marketplace or contacting Hunain Bellic inworld and he’ll be able to help you out.

Ryker Beck of Exodi released a pretty new skin today by the name of Sylvan. A teaser of Sylvan was out last week for 50L friday but to my understanding there have been some changes made for this final release. Sylvan is available in 5 skin tones and I am wearing the darkest tone. There are 3 options for brows – light, dark and red. Cleavage and freckles are also available as options. For more details about this skin release, check out the Exodi blog and then take the slurl for a demo.

Fashion for Life starts tomorrow and I am working on some more informative posts for it very soon. I’m wearing a recolor of the gorgeous Trishna print skirt by Zaara. This skirt and other Zaara creations will be available at Fashion for Life tomorrow.

I know I’ve told you before how much I LOVE the Pixel Bean sim but just look at my gorgeous raw shot here. I used my diamond windlight setting with a slight modification (I just reduced the distance multiplier slightly).

Also today I was invited to a new flickr group that caught my interest and I’m looking forward to seeing all the pictures that will be submitted to it. It is a new group dedicated to Bohemian, Ethnic and Hippie Styles in Second Life. So let’s all join and participate! :D
