Another fav artist in Second life is Annie Klavinham. Wish i could make pictures like that.
She is at Koinup. http://www.koinup.com/annieklavinham/ . And of course in SL to.
From the gallery http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rockcliffe%20Conservatory/174/36/509
Go and see her stuff it is really good.
Right now i am testing a new tool for doing 3D pictures. DAZ Studio 4.5 . I am not that fond of the renderer but i have found several others on the net that i can use with some tweeking.
The user interface is nice and you have thrre to select. One is very user friendly if you are just starting out with 3D images. You get some assets to start experimenting with and best of all it is free.
Go over to http://www.daz3d.com/ and check it out.
At the Two Shores gallery annex http://maps.secondlife.com/
Another super arty farty place to visit. I wish i had a week just to explore the art scene in Second life.
At The University of Western Australia (UWA) you can find some very new art. When i walked around the exhibition i found that art in Second life is finding its own way. Moving away from just copying real life art to get its own expression. Many of the objects have a real virtual world feeling.
Another great exhibition at The Two Shores gallery. RL art made for SL.
And a picture of the owner Mathilde Vhargon. The art you have to go and see.
