New Second Life Fantasy Art from Kim Dench

Hi Everyone!



A while back, I wrote about Second Life artist Kim Dench, and I'm happy to show off some of her more recent work today.



She strives for photorealism, and takes care to avoid showing some common modelling flaws such as body parts sticking inside objects -- a common but necessary result of collision checking reduced to reasonable amounts. Smooth curves are still somewhat lacking in Second Life, but the medium is no fault of the artist's.



I do highly recommend you visit her Flickr photostream to see the images in the largest possible size, especially for the last sample I am sharing today.

WASP 5 - The Fantasy Art of Second Life - Kim Dench

Wednesday Art Showcase Presents - The Fantasy Art of Second Life - Kim Dench



Today's fantasy art showcases some of the remarkable screenshots from the virtual world, Second Life; in particular, the work of artist Kim Dench.



Second Life picture quality varies a lot, as you will see if you go on Flickr and do a search for "Second Life" or "sl". The best ones, however, try to pay attention to common anomalies of 3D art, such as having body parts inside objects when they shouldn't be.



And after a screenshot is taken, some editing can be applied to really show off a picture. Click on these pictures to see the artist's commentary.
