From Japan to SL

The third round of the full-SIM art series are, "Second Libations" by Haveit Neox and Luna Metamorphia's "Endangered Species Zoo of Metamorphia". This time visited the Second Lib by Neox. The stage is the lifeless planet Earth where the great cosmic storm swept up the last water molecules. The entrance is a pyramid amidst of a desert.




Through the entrance. There are sign boards explaining this world. Also there are some free vendors for temple clothing. The Navi avatar is mine though.




Went out of the structure. Actual passage is twisty alley that should be simply followed. There are some sudden drops but keep moving.




This is a full view of the world. The apex of the entrance pyramid is 260m high. The first descending passage is set in the body of a giant statue. There is The Temple of the Bots seen in the right, and the glowing tower at the center is Scripters' Web Tower. The sky behind is not the Linden sky but panels exclusively made for this art.




The giant’s charge is to deliver you to the Temple of the Bots. The figure standing on the right thumb of giant is me. The other small figures are bots who are trying to rehydrate the world by virtual water. These bots could be the main theme of this art and appear at many places in this art. It might be a great job to build such a huge structure that is not repetitive construction.




Foreyard of the temple. Strange scenery that could be either forest or sea.




The same place as the above. There are many different expressions according to the lighting and viewing angle.




I ran into Mr. Jayjay Zifanwe, the owner of UWA SIM, who has been making a great labor at SL. The UWA 3D Art Challenge ended at the grand finale on December 11, but I wish another event would come back soon.




In the temple, there are three doors to; Banquet of the Artists, Librarynth, and Scripters' Web Tower. There may be no rule in visiting order. This is the first one. I dressed up for the banquet but it was rather a party of monsters than artists. Both of them might be close enough?




The second one is Librarynth. Labyrinth and maze are both translated to Meiro in Japanese, but labyrinth is normally not branched as many as maze that is difficult to find the way. This one is the former and you can go straight to get the goal. But if you can come back at the first time, you should be well experienced in role playing games.




Water after all, so bots flooded library too. This could be inspired by The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas.




There is a kind of teacher at the center. Bots are studying hard to find out a way to survive without human >maintenance. Click the cube floating on the book and get instructions to submit your idea, that will be presented in this program.



There are advices from guests on the ancient banderoles. It is interesting to see in different languages, which I cannot read though.




I also submitted one, and it is honored to be displayed. The one on the scroll picture is Japanese version, and the cube above is English.




The last is Scripters' Web Tower. Reflection that is Neox's favorite is also used here. I tried to create a serious reflection.




Bots are working around a well in the sea continuing to scoop up water in the water. It reminds me of a scene in the movie Fantasia by Disney.




Huge stairway in the sea. This art does not have a sequential story like the Divine Comedy, but it has a fun to be able to walk around feely to fiend new discoveries. If you can enjoy RPG and tend to walk in every hole and corner when you enter a new town, you can surely enjoy this art. Thank you Haveit!
