Look at How Much Second Life Avatars Have Evolved Through Subtle But Once-Impossible Poses & Gestures

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Dia’s pictures catch my eye with the excellent poses and her care in shooting them. Take this untitled picture. Both sneakers are on the floor, no slight hover or subtle sinking into the floor. Her fingers touch her hand, the elbow is behind but not in the leg. 

Using Bento and HUDs or third party viewers that let people fine tune poses, this kind of excellence is increasingly common. But for someone like me who fought with poses in 2007, it still is wondrous to see. Especially in such a striking picture. There’s something lonely about this pic, perhaps because the light is so dusty. I imagine her waiting for someone who is very, very late, wondering whether she should just give up and go home.

This untitled pic made me laugh. It really does look like the statue is telling her a secret. The hand cupping her chin is a nice touch and so carefully positioned. I also love the necklaces around the cherub’s neck.

I love this pic. Again, the finer points of the pose, how her hand and fingers are positioned, her thumb under the brim while her fingers are above the brim are just excellent. I also love the styling. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many clothes on someone in an SL fashion photo. <grin> 

I like DIA’s microblogging Flickr stream. She pays attention to the details that add to the emotional content and verisimilitude of her pictures. There is also variety to her fashion styling. It’s not all lingerie and swimwear, though they are certainly plentiful. It’s just great, though, to see someone wearing clothes.
