Portals

October 30, 2020

I love this set! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened it. Some things can feel daunting if you haven’t an immediate idea of what to create with it and I am not going to lie, I thought this one might be bigger than me this time. I wasn’t at all sure what to make for many reasons. One being my current platform is smaller than the one I used to have. I am looking forward to being able to afford something more this November, yay paycheck. Another reason was I was tapped out creativity wise it happens sometimes. It’s not the end of the world but it can be somewhat frustrating on occassion. Especially if it decides to happen during the end of the month.

However I thought I would pick it up and rezz it all out anyway because that’s usually how the most random ideas occur I should have faith that it would again. Pour it out, stack it together, grab a cuppa and something magical usually happens. Not always, sure, but more often than not it does. O ye of little faith.

So, that is what I did.

And what do you know…

This happened. I was not prepared for just how pretty these gacha items were, I was worried I wouldn’t have any idea on how to present them and they presented themselves all on their own. I can’t even take any credit here. The picture made itself. Suddenly I was inundated by ideas, what if this went here, what if this was added there, how about if it was three layers deep, what if the magic extended to the flowers…what if the whole area practically hummed with magic. The way they are laid out is essentially how I pulled them out of my inventory, besides a few shifts and twists, naturally. The beautiful purple lighting and glows all come from the items themselves, it feels otherworldly and full of magic. I thought Kotte’s flower lights would compliment the scene so I added them, upside down, in the grass.

I decided that since they worked beautifully as they were all I needed was to create a scenery around them and let them tell the story they want to without too much interference from me. I am ridiculously impressed with this set, it’s beautiful in ways that make you stare and make the loveliest, most magical of images. Playing with windlights around the set was the most fun I’d had the whole day.

Below is an inworld shot from closer up. This was taken in ultra and windlights. The lovely sky between the portal arch is part of it and it comes with a texture change. Pretty right? I loved this one, it seemed to match so well with the sky. You could have a field day.

Anyway, I hope you like the outcome as much as I did. Happy Halloween day’s eve and enjoy your portal making! I wonder what world you’ll end up on.
