1. Question: It’s good to see you again! How have you been?
2. Answer: Good! Just got a manicure like I told you so I’m feeling extra cute today lol.
3. A: Lol right!
4. Q: I’m glad to have you on our cover and in our mag. You’re one of the most creative
arts on SL. Did you ever imagine yourself being so well respected?
5. A: Honestly? No. I think when I made an instagram I never in a million years would
have imagined I would be so respected and so appreciated for my work. It does feel like
a lot of it has paid off. Almost like a dream come true, although the race isn’t over yet (at
least for me).
6. Q: was this always a love of yours? Being a artist?
7. A: Um, yeah it’s certainly always been a passion of mine. I have always wanted to be
a designer. So with that I had to learn and teach myself how to be a good artist first. I’m
still learning though.
8. Q: Oh wow so you taught yourself? No help from anyone?
9. A: I’ve got tips from people now as an adult but when i was starting.. nope. I self taught
myself through gimp and then moved on to photoshop. I was around 13-14 years old on
IMVU lol.
10. Respond: Lol that is amazing, considering so many have others do it for them and
take the credit or go to YouTube or other sources for help.
11. A: Yeah, YouTube wasn’t really a thing when I started out lol so it was like having to
read a book instead of googling.
12. Q: That’s true. What has been your experience like when it comes to your artistic vision
and having to go with what a client wants. Do you prefer creative freedom over
limitations? Some prefer limitations surprisingly lol.
13. A: I can’t deal with limitations. I love when the client gives me creative freedom. I make
sure to check their feeds before I go to crazy and give them some bomb highlighter or
like makeup. I respect everyone in that sense, they always show me their inspo pictures
though and I try my best to recreate it the best way I know how without it looking identical,
I call it the LUDAH! Touch lol.
14. Q: I like that, the LUDAH touch. Limitations can sometimes work in your favor. I myself
prefer to work with as much freedom as possible. Being on Second Life, it’s very little
limits. Do you have any limits, on what you would not do?
15. A: Um.. I can’t really think about anything right now but I think when some clients give
me an inspo picture and basically want me to add all these really crazy jewelry pieces
and want to pose a certain way.. I don’t think they grasp the concept that SL can only
do so much. I work with anypose a lot so I try my best to pose clients and even myself
as close as possible to reference/inspo picture. So that’s when I need to hike up prices
(I haven’t yet) but when I do it’s like oo.. nvm. They think I just slap their avatars head on
a real life body and call it a day. I CAN and I did start off doing morphs but i stopped.
There isn’t anything wrong with that either I’m just saying it’s not an easy thing to do and
you get what you pay for. Quality over quantity. Final answer: nothing is off-limits right
now. I just know what I can do and can’t do. Moral of the story is that haha.
