From Japan to SL

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.

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…
