    But will the money I’ve already paid for premium be put towards my premium plus upgrade?

    Quirky Cars question?

    Maybe a quirky question. Is there a good company of cars that one can buy on sl that is "Zoobie Friendly?" like car seats and the whole bit. Or is there, forgive me for saying it tis way, a better brand of babies, that are more compatible with vehicle?

    Water Horse of Teegle??

    So, I am no expert on SL horses, but I want to buy one. There seems to be a debate as to which one you should get. The two top ones I keep hearing are Teegle and Waterhorse, and there advocates for both. I am  just wondering what you all think? Which you prefer and why?

    Sad????

    I find capturing emotions in SL to be particularly difficult. It's a lot of very subtle muscle movement that's hard to catch with the limited amount of animation bones we've got. You may need to compensate by trying additional expressive aspects. For example, using cold (blue) light with stark shadows that hide the eyes. Body posture can do a lot of heavy lifting, as can do overall lighting and direction.

    Here's an unedited example of one of my recent pictures. Unedited because I would feel cheeky double posting the end result. Let me walk through my thought processes for it. First, a small cutout from the unedited shot:

    image.png.b44d2fa224aab70f6bbd46c4fc42767c.png

    If you look at the face, it has got barely any expression on it. The head is inclined towards a shoulder and the gaze is cast down, both of which can convey a sense of inwardness or introspection. More or less, like I was in my own thoughts. Overall body language protects the chest with the arms, something we do when we feel vulnerable. Same reason we fold our arms when we get into an argument - we instinctively protect our most vulnerable body parts (read, organs). Sadness is a very vulnerable emotion and so I thought it would work well to cross the arms and then have the hands reach out to the shoulders as if I was trying to hug myself for comfort. Sadness is also often an emotion described as cold and we tend to wrap our arms around ourselves when cold too.

    Further on, the lighting. There's a contrast between warm light coming from the side and most of the body being cast in shadow. This was meant to create a dichotomy between the warmth outside and the cold inside, almost like these two things don't belong together. Last but not least, I'm turned away from the warmth of the light. Body language is showing a "cold" shoulder towards it.

    And perhaps in a lucky coincident, the sparkles I forgot to remove kind of added two little glitters on my cheek that might be tears. Happy little accidents, eh Bob Ross? Still what I want to get at: The face shows barely any emotion. It's the same type of boring model/mannequin stare we're all so familiar with. Bodypose, light, mood and scene composition do the heavy lifting to convey the sadness. I hope it worked but at least that was the intent!

    Hope this helped a bit.

    Oh, yah. I did use the Lelutka Axis Hud to move the head and eyes. I can't recommend it enough, it's part of every shot I take.

    wow! you are amazing, i hope you have a flicr page

    Oh I like this idea.  Not only could you possibly make friends but also visit new places sl.

    I'm EST but might show up at your later time to keep you company some days and see what other plans you might have.  Maybe you should convert to the times you'll be meeting to  Second Life time as well. 

    I’m eastern too

    Anyone know how to take a "sad" pic with your avatar? I saw some poses on MP but your face stays the same. Is there a way to make it look like your av is sad or even crying?

    Baby making body parts?

    So my wife and I are talking about having children. So, i have heard she needs a "mamma alpha hud." I have also heard I need a special "male body part" to correspond to her "female body" part.

    So what do I need to buy for myself as far as a ***** goes and a hud to get her pregnant and what does she need?

    I have recently rented an apartment on route seven, on the south by the beach.  I paid the box,  my name is on it, but I am not allowed to rez any of my furniture,  it says the owner does not allow it!  I contacted the owner and all she says is that she will look into it,  but she refuses to come fix it or at least refund me my money.  What can I do? ?
