237 - Tahoe's blue

Dim Sum is mesmerized by the blue waters as she lazily listens to the lapping waves and looks out toward the river leading out to sea.


This image took me a long time. I wanted to reproduce a certain feel to match what the scenery reminded me of. I couldn't get it. It was either too bright or too dark or too flat. I'm not too happy with the contrast in the final version either. Ahh, well, ... some days you win, some days you lose.

After tinkering with the windlight, I decided to try the water and luckily got this blue, which reminds me of the deep blueness of Lake Tahoe.

236 - Breakfast in candlelight

Dim Sum stretches as she wakes up under the table. She wonders when the humans would wake up and give her breakfast before she goes to take her nap.


A quick one before I go to sleep, and maybe I'll have time for one more before the long weekend ends. :)

The table with the candles, wine bottles, mugs, and food is the "Sa'ng Fori -Tavern Table-" by Kim Lefavre (Sang Fori Design).

235 - Arrows on the beach

Dim Sum watches the smugglers across the water as she lithely winds her way around the arrows.


Not much DOF here because I didn't want to lose the detail in the clouds. I had to derender a lot of things to simplify the scene.

234 - Stepped arch

Dim Sum contemplates whether everyday emotes are still roleplay.


This is a German roleplay sim, but most of the notices have English translations, including the sim's covenant. The bot chat said to wear a tag on the sim, but I don't see where to get a tag.

It's a nicely done sim, although a bit too crowded. The arch and the path are recognizably Alex Bader's work. I derezzed a Tudor guard, which would have messed up my composition.

/me loves the derez/derender features. :D
