Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Pooka’s picture “Ghost” left me awestruck. It has this ghostly feeling as though it is a place out of time. It reminds me of the old Chinese painting masters. [To teleport, click here.] It may seem very different because she uses an EEP -- for Environmental Enhancement Project -- to create the environment. Helpfully, Pooka tells us what EEP she uses. I love that!
She wrote a little about herself on her Flickr About page:
I love exploring all the beautiful places in SL and taking pictures, usually landscapes. I cannot claim any real skill or artistry but I do try to do justice to the spaces I am privileged to wander. Every picture is a memory, a moment of joy and I love that I am able to share these with you.
Well, if the person who created “Ghost" cannot claim artistry, the word has no meaning.

“The Ring” is enough to give you nightmares. According to Pooka, the location is actually quite romantic but then she used an EEP to bring the terror. In real life, cats love to get in a staring contest when they are feeling aggressive, but this is one staring contest they can never win. [Again, you can check out the site yourself, click here.]
“Bent” makes me think of a children’s book. It’s so amazing and again, Pooka explains how she created the sky. She actually used the shared environment on the sim, but she turned the gamma way down to get this extraordinary sky and the beautifully bent silhouette. [To check it out, you can click here.]
I love Pooka’s stream. The pictures are gorgeous and she is consistent in providing the SLurls so you can go yourself. She also shares what EEP she uses and sometimes even blends two EEPs to get a special sky. I didn’t even know you could do that. If you think about it, she is an EEP blogger, probably the only EEP blogger in Second Life. I didn’t know we needed an EEP blogger, cut we did. We’re so lucky Pooka is on the beat.
