OPUS FLAMAND'S SENSE OF WOMEN

SL as artist's palette:  To create these breathtaking portraits of women, Opus Flamand first took screenshots of female avatars, then digitally repainted them by hand.  Flamand's aim was to create images of women that were undeniably sexy, but decidedly unlike those more popular on the grid.

"The idea was to do a type of work not related to the 'digital beauties' a la [the] Barbie/Bratz way but something a bit more dirty and complex," Opus explains to me, "a bit in the Otto Dix way." 

More from Flamand after the break-- though a couple images are potentially unsafe for work (unless you work in a lingerie modeling studio.)

As Opus tells it, these images are unstaged, and were taken in the heat of true moments of romance and sensuality; and that, too, is a purpose in their creation.

"[T]he idea was to show a side of Second Life occluded from the media," Flamand tells me, "as is the intense, explicit mature women sex activity, and how deep and 'real' these 'virtual' sex relations are being performed in SL!"

The images are part of a much larger (and much more explicit) series which will be published in an upcoming art book.  Hence the copyright with Opus Flanand's real life name.  So they will become, like Tringo, a rare case of intellectual property developed in Second Life merging with the IP regime of the world outside.  (A distinctly sexy merger, as it happens.)

"I can show the images under my personal copyright," Flanands tells me through his first life persona, "but I must use my real name, not the avatar, to avoid confusions with the editor."
