268 - Baby's reflection

Dim Sum watches the elephants bathe. They haven't squirted her yet, but she's ready to run if they do.


The elephants are set to full bright, so it was a little trickier to do shadows. And for some reason,  I can't get very good reflections anymore. Maybe it's my new machine. I should do more reflections as a challenge to myself.

The elephants were created by Jon Haskell (AAA Sculpty Creations Animals).

267 - Echo of a tree

Dim Sum patiently waits for the morning sun to move and get to her spot, as she enjoys the view from her high perch.


This scene was difficult to light because the big cliff rock reflects too much light compared to everything else.

The tree is part of "The Faery Ring from Studio Skye" created by Alex Bader (Studio Skye).

266 The toucan and the picture porthole

Dim Sum pokes her head in a creaky old ship and found very comfy cushions.


After hanging out with Mz and her other friends at the members-only dungeon, I went out and explored. This image was taken inside a big old pirate boat, propped up on land. Cool concept.

265 - Meanwhile, ....

Dim Sum escapes the dungeon inside the mines for wide open spaces.


I have no idea what to title this image. And "Meanwhile, ...." sounded intriguing.

The Bay is a new pirate-themed sim built by Mz Marville. Her landscapes always have a certain peaceful feeling to them.
