Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Svelte Blessed takes the most amazing landscape and decor pics. She also lists her credits. I love “The Tom Cat” who is sleeping on that battered, old nailhead chair. I love it.
I asked her how she got such intense color and detail:
“I start with a clear large image using Black Dragon and adjust the WindLight for every picture to create the angle of light and shadows I desire,” she told me. “I use Photoshop for post-processing and often spend a long time on each image, starting first with composite work, then tones, and finally refining details. My key piece of advice is to not be afraid to change things as you go. If something isn't working or [not] ‘popping,’ try something new, go back a few steps and try something new.”

“Apple House” is a delightful confection of lemons and yellow. I want to sit there in real life. Perhaps it has so much appeal because winter is our rainy season despite the clear weather today. It just looks like sunshine.
“The Best of Friends” might be an overstatement in the sheltie’s opinion. The little yorkie is feeling friendly though. I love the rustic cabin and the fabulous headboard.
Be sure to follow Svelte Blessed. She travels all over the grid and takes lovely pictures. She decorates and blogs the decor in her picture descriptions. If you love decor and SL travel, she’s a must follow.
