Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Isis Boa Desmoulins does amazing landscapes that draw me in completely. I was curious about her process and asked if she was willing to share.
“I love dramatic skies,” she told me. “I almost hate to say how I do them. In RL photography you will sometimes take more than one picture for a picture. So sometimes I do this for highlights and shadow elements. But, often I do it for my skies. So I want this cloud and this horizon, but these shadows, and those highlights and just layer it all.
“Also, I use water settings as a whole other layer of atmosphere. So most of the sets I build I build under the SL waterline. You can just shut the water off if it's not working right. It gives a really nice haze and you still get shadows and sun settings colors. What already seemed like infinite settings for skies is then doubled in a way, it's great.
“I spent quite a while shooting and trying to shoot SL raw, but not have it look raw. That really forced me to learn a lot of tricks and tools in SL that have been super helpful. Skies can add a lot of tension or calm. I have always loved skies in moments before, during, and after storms. You get so much more emotional spectrum than just a blah blue sky.”
