Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Yoasa makes me think of those commercials from my childhood that asked, “Is it live or is it Memorex?” I have to ask, is it live or is it Second Life? Her choice to make her pics black and white and frame them like a Polaroid, which makes them even more realistic, but that little bit of fiction would not be so magical if the pics themselves were not already stunningly life-like. (But she includes the SLurl of where this was taken.) I also love how the raven is sitting so close to that acorn decoration on the merlon. They’re dating.

If I were to name this untitled picture, I would call it “Yearning”. She’s glancing up and her looks are so very full of desire. I also love the verticals in this pic. There are the buildings in the background and the building wall the woman is standing up against. Then she looks up. It’s really stunning.
This picture is just too perfect for words. It’s like a composition class. There are these strong diagonals and, sure, they are not from corner to corner, but they are offset an equidistant amount. The picture makes fantastic use of white space (or sand, if you will.) Then, of course, her avatar is placed by a perfect rule of thirds. The whole picture makes me happy.
Yoasa is a fantastic follow. I am so happy I discovered her stream recently and can’t recommend following her enough. Some of her pics are very subtle nudes, nothing prurient or anything, just open, honest love of human form. But it would be worthwhile using safe mode if you’re at work because many workplaces are persnickety.
