Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Wren Alcyone [branwenalcyone] takes amazing profile pics and fun Look-Of-The-Day snaps. I love “Valkyrie” though it differs from my mental image of the mythological women who escort those chosen from the battlefield dead to go to Valhalla to prepare for Ragnarok. However, what slain hero would turn down her invitation?

I love how she uses a shot of the landscape as a sort of frame with her outside of it, but clearly a part of it as well. She has elven ears so she cannot be Diana, the Huntress or the Deer Woman, the shapeshifter from Indigenous mythology. This makes me think she could be Sadhbh. (If you want to pronounce that correctly, click here.) Sadhbh was cursed by a druid to live in the form of a deer. However, as happens in these stories she found true love and transformed back to human form. As it’s an Irish myth, it must be sad and if you’re interested in Sadhbh's fate, you can read it here.
My favorite photos are people just having fun and “Traffic Jam” is exactly that. This reminds me of the reason I first fell in love with Second Life, the watermelon shooters, the leek attachment with “Ieven’s Polka” by Loituma, or the “onigokko” attachment that set everyone running in circles to play tag when someone said “onigokko” in chat. Onigokko is Japanese for playing tag.
Back to the fabulous photostream of Wren Alcyone. If you like fashion, she has fashion. If you like unique avatars, there are many and she takes profile pics of other people so there are many faces to enjoy. For me, my favorite pictures are her pics of myths and legends and of just having they kind of silly fun that made me fall in love with SL.
