From Japan to SL

Recently my blog pictures are to modify the arts presented at UWA. I never had meant to ruin the arts. I would be happy if you were considering that those are my personally expanded interpretation of the original arts. When inserting myself, I picked up a suitable pose from my inventory, but there was not the one for “The Night Visitor”, so I made a new one using Photoshop, by arranging some parts from my various pictures. I was a bit excited since I felt as if I were cutting up my dead body. I am afraid that the result may not be suitable as a top page of the blog, I covered it with a glass again.




The pose I used in “Daughter of the Wind”. The left is a normal pose but it does not fit the direction of movement, so I flipped my lower body horizontally. It is necessary to match the lighting when shooting a picture for insertion. In this case, the flipped part does not follow the lighting from the top left and the shadows are wrong, but I left it as is since it is not noticeable.




“Transformation 331 for Humanoids”in the last article. Firstly, reference lines were set on a separate layer and then the avatar pictures were adjusted in position and size. At this distance, a single pose cannot be repeated, so several pictures should be taken with slightly different angles for each.




When suitable arrangement was done, the avatars should be cut out following the contour. Usually I am using the Lasso Select Tools, but on a single-color avatar like this, the Magic Wand is convenient. Once reached this stage, only things to do is to change the color as you like. At the color matching on the face close-up of “The Nightmare”, it was necessary to control patiently the contrast and brightness together with the color tint. Please understand that it is not so easy to make a parody.
