Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style
Today seemed like a good day to check in on one of my favorite Second Life photographers, Loony Columbia. Although it's been awhile since I've blogged her, her work is easily some of the most adorable out there. Even if you're not into the cutesy avatars she favors you can almost certainly still appreciate her technical style. Loony likes to keep her work blindingly bright and pastel perfect, and even though she prefers those cute-looking avatars she's not shy about veering towards the NSFW side of things either.
"Enfant - Woman in Love" is one of her latest pics, and it stands out because it's a slight departure from her usual images. While most of her SL snapshots are seas of milky color, this one is much bolder by comparison. It stopped me in my tracks, or rather it stopped my cursor in its path.
You can check out the uncropped (and slightly NSFW) version of "Enfant" here, or spend some time perusing the pastel wonderland that is Loony Columbia's Flickr stream. If you'd like some styling advice, then you'll want to swing by her Tumblr as well.
Janine Hawkins (@bleatingheart on Twitter, Iris Ophelia in Second Life) has been writing about virtual worlds and video games for nearly a decade, and has had her work featured on Paste, Kotaku, Jezebel and The Mary Sue.
Thank you for your kind words!
