LEA Arts in May
Linden Endowment for the Arts is made of more than 20 full-SIM arts and some of them are replaced monthly. Each art uses one full SIM, so it is hard to see everything. This one had gone already. A part of an art by Kendra Zaurak.
A street-scape like the Westside of New York. All buildings are phantom and nothing inside. A power pole was real and I climbed on it. Vacant buildings without inside seem to enhance the loneliness in a city.
“Wall of Fear” by Aequitas.

If you walk into the wall directly, the cubes of ‘fear’ change into ‘love’ and fly away. The change will start at the spot where touched but the pattern changes also. It is possible to start from many points by flying around. It is one of pleasures of 3D arts to have such interactive motion. Sometimes the color did not come in and it was monochrome.

Treasure quest
Visited one of the May LEM full-SIM arts, “Ascension” by Mantis Oh. The SIM is full with figurative arts with more than 10,000 prims.

There is a treasure hunting set in the SIM, to find out seven orbs with the colors of the rainbow.
One of the prizes is the mask that I wore. Also some awards are provided for a quiz machine.
ORB 1 (red) - Descending deep under - into the abyss, light still shines on me
ORB 2 (orange) - About to be taken by the visitors, while riding the mantis religiosa
ORB 3 (yellow) - Forgotten, but not far away
ORB 4 (green) - The shroom-king of the corner
ORB 5 (cyan) - Lost amongst crystals
ORB 6 (blue) - Came from a far away foreign place
ORB 7 (purple) - The pinnacle of evolution
Although there are hints, how can I find out “ORB” that I do not know the shape in this ocean of various figures? But I tried it since it is challenging. Once any one was found, it should be easy. I found them all. ORB 6 was the hardest. According to the hint, it should be in a space ship, but it was not in the space station floating in the air and I found it in another small ship. The question from the ‘Well of riddles’ is “What is the name of the hammer that all giants fear?” I got the answer on the internet.
One of the prizes was “Mechanical Tree”. I put it at my gallery.
It does fit my inorganic gallery. Thank you Mantis! At my gallery, Team ASH photos are on the second floor, and “Composite” is on the third. Please drop in.

Composite
Most pictures in this blog were taken in SL, but some of them are composite. On the third floor of my gallery the composite pictures are now on exhibition, about thirty including some new works. The south wall is ghost as the second floor, so please enter through it.
Temi’s Gallery: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dromio/80/236/24
My compositions are not like arts introduced in Photoshop text but can be categorized as follows:
(1) Put many same things. (ex. Stampede of Ohmu or Images of soldiers and horses)
(2) Create things that cannot be seen in RL (ex. the poster above or Éclair noodle)
(3) Insert myself in other picture (ex. Nausicaa flying over Ayers Rock)
This is an element that was inserted in the above picture. Avatar figures were inserted in a real photo. It is required to cut out along the border line of the avatar. The figure shape was drawn manually on another layer in advance and suitable avatar figures were pasted on them.
The picture below and ‘Many passengers’ introduced before were made of pictures that were taken at the same place, so it is easy since it is not required to cut out along the avatar shape. But if you move, the camera position changes also, so another person is needed for shooting. I used my sister.
When you put yourself in other pictures, adjustment in color and joint line are important. It is almost painting. The face of the below 3D art was not made realistic (may be intentionally), so I put my face on it. The picture that is used now as my profile is another replaced face. Please see the full-size one at my gallery. This is a TV game that I spent about two years to clear. She is a heroine, who was traveling across time and space fighting to save the world, but she suddenly dies without seeing her fiancé, and the world that she thought to have saved collapsed. If there is any solace, she died abruptly without agony, but that ending is dispiteous…

Mermaids
An underwater world has been set at the new Baba meeting area, under the Kazumi’s pier that had been introduced as a start point of a yacht course. The last Saturday was a party for mermaids and undersea lives. The new meeting area still does not have a new name but we are gathering together mainly on Saturdays. Group members of Kikyou, Baba, and Juliana, please join us. New guests are also very welcome/
Underwater dance：http://slurl.com/secondlife/Publius/127/26/10
Most of us were mermaids, but males might be a bit confused. One was a merman, another wore a Kimono with very long hemline. There was a strange creature. Is the blue one iguana? He performed mermaid dances surreally.
We danced arbitrarily with various clothing, but it was fun that could not be seen in mermaid shows.
Surprisingly all of us had so many kinds of mermaid clothing. It could be easy to see flexible effects underwater.
There were some discussions that mermaid should not wear bra, or mermaid should be akin to duck-bill since they do lactation although they are oviparous. Also someone introduced a story of a boy who fell in love with a mermaid and successfully transformed to merman to get married, but was disappointed to find out that all he could do is pour on the eggs. But watching salmons, there would be some ecstasy when ejecting eggs or sperms… We should ask fish.

Nine Arts
Visited LEA full-SIM art, The 9 Art Planet by Betty Treaud. There are nine stages. This time I will take some of them that have beautiful colors. This is the 1st stage, Matrix.
LEA20: http://slurl.com/secondlife/LEA20/150/122/3001
Space walking animations are popular but this one is beautiful in the color and spacious feel. The color keeps changing and I would like to stay flying forever.
The flying path is different depending on pose ball you pick and the surrounding pattern is also changing, so it is hard to shoot pictures.
When I enter in an art, I will wear clothing that fits the art, but in this unreality, I rather picked up everyday clothes. Frankly speaking, I was not sure what kind of clothing is suitable.
This is the 3rd stage, Bubble. There are many huge soap bubbles. There are other stages such as a maze that gives you prizes when you get the goal.
