Really makes me wonder how all your fantastic posters do it to begin with. 😛 I mean, made a shot of me with a toy Dino, the other day; cant even get my AO to tilt up my head a bit, LOL. Where are all y'all getting all these poses from?! I often joke about being too blonde for SL. But sometimes I wonder, eek, what if it's really true?! 😂

Both pictures show your avi as very cute. And 'socially acceptable', whas that?! 😊 Seriously, only an extremely small-minded person would ever object to your avi wearing a bikini at a beach resort. (Or anywhere else, for that matter). Wouldn't wory about it, honestly. Your avi is, like I said, very endearing, and 100% socially acceptable. Just post what you love showing. It's all good, really. And welcome to the forums!

'Sadly generic' translates to 'Endearing, sweet avi'. ❤️

Haven'y had my morning coffee yet, but my noney is on BS.

What a coincidence! I was looking for just a 'wow!' emoji for Scylla's recent work, couldn't find it either. Is this a blushing face perhaps? (it comes with no description)

Oh, Scylla. Wow! 🏆

Greatly inspired by @Marigold Devin's visit to miniature land, I decided to take my Chloe for a quick trip too, with her acting all aloof and all, as usual.

Haven't seen it. Hope someone finds it soon for you, though, dear. With your beautiful avi, it will no doubt look awesome! 😍

Hmm, you don't, eh? LOL. I guess that ship has sailed for me, a long time ago already! 🤩 I'm hopeless. "If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes."

I saw nothing 'negative' in her image. Seriously, though, so are sooo right! It's also what I really liked about Eve's new "Be still my heart" photo too. The DOF brings her out so wonderfully. Haven't used it myself yet. Must Do.

Awww, thank you! 🤗🤗🤗 Hehe, you are right! That image I used for my Profile too (with the asymmetrical lightsource underneath), I actually made for this painting in GTA V. The shot itself, of course, was taken inside my beach residence in SL.

And now for a bit of RAW fun, here's my Chloe.... in GTA V! 😜 (Yes, you can build in GTA V too. I have many homes therein). N.B. What do you mean 'obsessed'?! 😍

Okay, this is one of the most clever and funniest puns I read here in a long time! 😂😂 I doff my cap at thee, milady!

^^ Oh yeah, I had forgotten: someone, the other day, managed to find fault with you being a kitten. How can such a thing ever be?! I mean, lookit that face!

*nods* So true! Like religion. Burned my sleek fingers on one of them religion threads, recently, and I wound up being toast. 😍

Yep, the OP made an interesting observation. And some of the replies made me outright chuckle, cuz it's so true!

And why would you?! You get a total of nine free REZ-es: you can afford to forget one. 😛 (So unlike the guy in that joke. "How do you remember your wife's anniversary? .... Forget it ONCE!") Haha!

Actually here you are 100% wrong. If you take, say, a 1920x1080 screengrab, and only 40% of said image is showing avi-skin, as it were, then sure, super-highres skin texture is naturally a waste. What you're missing, however, is the screen capture size. When you take a grab at, say, 6000x3375, suddenly the highres skin texture matters greatly. See, an ultra high screengrab is actually not a 'screen' grab at all, but rather a newly (internally) rendered image at 6000x3375. On such a large surface, the quality of the textures used matter significantly. In a typical situation, you will eventually want to scale back the image for the final product. But every intermediate post-processing step benefits greatly for the basis being at super high-res. And that is because our 6000x3375 image is not just a dumb, linearly upscaled screengrab (which would look horrific, btw), but a newly rendered image at said resolution. Thus, even the eventually rescaled-down image will look much better than had you started with just 1080p. Not in the least for Anti-Aliasing (this 'bigshot' trick is very old, and existed already in Doom: grab at very high, then scale back for a less edgy look). Essentially, you are conflating 2 entirely separated things: the (often unnecessary) use of high-textures on, say, jewelry, and the use of high-res textures for photography.

Might as well add mine too.

Is it bad that I got a distinct Taylor Swift vibe out of this?! 😍 Anyway, love your work, as always. ❤️

I think you actually have me blocked. 🤣 Doesn't matter, really, just meant to say I think your work is awesome, and you really DO know your way around Photoshop! As for 'Likes', that's a tricky one. And many likes can mean either of 2 things: you're extremely good, or very mainstream. Think about that. Or rather, as the case may be, simply don't think about it. People give out likes for any myriad of reasons, but rarely, if ever for being told they owe you said 'Like.'

Incredibly shot! Absolutely adore those colors and your work! ❤️

That silky dress looks abso;utely amazing on you! ❤️

LOL. That has the ring of truth to it.

LOL, that one gave me a good chuckle. 😂 It's been a while already since he used it, but the classics never die.
