Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Tabitha Schnyder is a new-to-me discovery in Wind Moonstone’s favorites. I ended with Wind in yesterday’s column with the first installment of the Faves Game. Tabitha is a fashion blogger. I like this picture of her. The wet hair is a nice touch. When I began in Second Life, swimming pools, lakes, and oceans had this uncanny ability to keep your hair dry. It was kind of like the rain in Oregon in which you can walk about for an hour without getting wet.
Now who will I find in Tabitha’s faves?

Lu Carnivale is one of Tabitha’s faves and what a find! She does a mix of fashion pics with credits but mixes in pics of her life, shopping, hanging with friends, romancing, whatever appeals to her. This picture “A tu Verita” (Your Truth) is simply stunning. It’s bold black and white contrast, her framing with those pictures leading at a 90º angle away from them is almost magical in driving our focus on them. The whole picture is masterful.
I discovered Vika Coye in Lu’s faves. It seems like the vast majority of her recent photos are done with AI but she is good about not putting them into SL groups or labeling them SL. It’s just there are so many. They are gorgeous, but I think this picture is just as gorgeous and didn’t require machine learning. I love this picture. The woman looks powerful and resolute. She looks like she’s been through some hard battles, has learned to fight for herself and her people, but is still at peace with her place in the world. The victorious place. There is something introspective about this picture and I am thrilled to have seen it. I only hope I find great SL artists in her FAVES tomorrow.
I hope you try the Faves Game. It’s how I find new people. The default stream is people I already follow. Some readers recommend great finds, and of course, there is no rule against repeating people. I do. But I also know that there are so many great artists out there and don’t want to miss out on them. Besides, it’s fun. A reminder of the “rules.” Look at the faves of someone you follow until you find someone new to you, whom you don’t follow. Browse their stream, follow them, fave a few of their pics, and then check out their Faves to find another new person. Hoppity-hop, like an Easter Egg hunt, you will find all sorts of treasures.
