338 - Clock Bell Tower

Where's Dim Sum? #338 - Clock Bell Tower


Dim Sum surveys the lay of the land on the clock bell tower, just as it starts to drizzle.


I'm not sure how the sky turned dark here. In the previous picture, I thought I had made the sky blue. Oh, well. At least the dark sky emphasized the tower.

337 - Wooden swords and cat dragons

Where's Dim Sum? #337 - Wooden swords and cat dragons


Dim Sum quietly watches the young prince with the wooden sword and the threatening stance. "You're too late, little prince. I already ate your princess mouse. Now, go take a bath."


This "prince" is actually an object that hops around in a random path, so it took a number of tries to even get a meaningful composition. For each photo, I had to wait for him to come back into the frame.

336 - 5kg

Where's Dim Sum? #336 - 5kg


Dim Sum naively sits right under the watermelon. Oh, well, she still has a few lives left.


I love these vegetables! Definitely one of the best builds I've seen in SL. The tomatoes are so realistic, I could imagine how juicy they are!

335 - Your carriage awaits

Where's Dim Sum? #335 - Your carriage awaits


Dim Sum tries to nap in spite of the hansom cab pulling away with all the tourists and making such a racket on the cobblestones.


I had trouble with this sim because some of the builds are full-bright, so I can't get this windlight to show nicely. So this series is focused on closeups to avoid including the full-bright items. I think I need to create a movement (a group?) against full-bright objects.

334 - Goat and Eve cast out of paradise

Where's Dim Sum? #334 - Goat and Eve cast out of paradise


Dim Sum witnesses what really happened in paradise. Adam was a goat that ate everything in sight, including the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. And Eve got blamed for it!


I was trying to get Agent A to stand in as Adam, but he was afk, making and having dinner. Thankfully, there was this goat standing there....

333 - Man and beast face off

Where's Dim Sum? #333 - Man and beast face off


Dim Sum watches the stranger and the tiger face each other in silence, each one tense and ready for whatever the other does.


These last two pictures are different from the first two, because I actually took them on a different day with different windlight.

332 - Misty moonlight

Where's Dim Sum? #332 - Misty moonlight


Dim Sum listens quietly to the falling water and the chirping of crickets.


I think this is one of my favorites. The monochrome theme makes it nice and minimalistic. However, for some reason, when I create something I really like, it feels like I've seen it somewhere else before.
