Learn from the Masters by Tuning in to These Second Life Content Creators Who Livestream Their Work

Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

Earlier today, Second Life designer and artist Nylon Pinkney livestreamed her process as she worked on one of her gorgeous avatar portraits, just like the one shown on the left. Nylon does these streams pretty regularly, but unless you follow her on Twitch.tv there's a good chance you'll miss them.

Nylon's not the only Second Life creator streaming their work, for that matter. There are quite a few others taking advantage of the various streaming services to broadcast their process. Some like Nylon spend their streams painting or drawing, others edit snapshots, and still others work on 3D models and textures that will be brought into SL once they're complete. Watching these talented folks work can be a great learning experience, but since not all of these streamers store their archives it's crucial to catch them live.

With the help of folks on Plurk (the Second Life community's social network of choice) I've compiled a list of Second Life artists and designers that stream, so you can follow your favorites and be alerted whenever they go live. Take a look:

"Why would a 'bona-fide' Builder and his/her Use Case want to accept 'predatory' LL terms of service 2.3 and Intellectual Property Piracy?"

To answer my own question, because Linden Lab has never used the TOS in a predatory fashion while tens of thousands of content creators have made tens of millions of dollars from their SL content, in SL and in RL, without interference by LL.
