New World Tableau: Cyanide Sees Madcow and a Meteor

"Meteor" is by Cyanide Seelowe, founder of the Virtual Artist Alliance and proprietor of its wiki, Virtualartpedia.  "This is an image I took of one of Madcow Cosmos' many skeletal creations in Second Life."  (Direct SLURL teleport to the site at this link.)  The result is a startling and primitively surreal Tableau, created entirely through a WindLight setting, without post-production.  "When I discovered the ability to edit and customize the environment in WindLight," Ms. Cyanide goes on, "I was immediately compelled to visit as many unique places as I could and manipulate the mood of these locations by changing the sky and water. It's never a calculated decision on my part-- I just go to these places, have a seat, and start playing with the sky and water editors until I'm happy with the results. 'Meteor!' is the best example I have so far, because the whole process behind that shot--making the stars so bright, for example, or discovering that I could move the sun anywhere I want-- was a series of happy accidents."

[Welcome Doobie]

Nice work by the beautiful Cyanide there. Shes every bit as talented in RL as well.

This makes me want to upgrade my computer again. SL runs so bad on the system I have now :( That picture does look cool though.
