I love the weird gothic voodoo flavor of Ms. Writer's photo, shot in an existing scene she constructed and dubbed "Mannequin Afterparty". (It's located in Unintended Water, a popular sim created by her and Cyro Spyker.) "I added the skulls on the chair just to get a freaky scene," she tells me. "The light is made with a barrel with fire which stands at the right. And of course I used the environment editor. (I'm one of those EE addicts)." So no after-effect elements were added to the photo.
However, she acknowledges, a clown was added. "The evil clown is a gift I got from Demerick Creeley," says thess. "I have the Evil Clown Joke-Maton (with lots of annoying jokes)." So that clears up that.

Submitting to New World Tableau: New World Tableau is an ongoing album featuring Residents who've turned SL screenshots into a new art form, vividly conveying emotions, stories, and entire cultures in a single image. - If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail ([email protected]) me the link. Please e-mail me the image as a file link, or attached as an .jpeg or .gif, as long as it's under a meg in size.
- Submission tip: I regularly check the SL screenshot stream of New World Notes partner Koinup, an MMO social network-- consider creating an account there.
- Submitting as an in-world texture not recommended, as they often come out distorted and not high res.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.)
- Moderately Photoshopped images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were added. (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
- If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC licensed. The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any case.
