16. Q: What inspires Ludah the most?
17. A: Hmm.. I’d say.. people. It could be anyone random I will see them and it would spark
something inside me that’s like.. “I want to draw you” anything weird and out of the ordinary.
Such a cliché answer but it’s true. Also.. colors! I love bright things.. dark things.
Anything involving fashion or animation. If it has to do with art.. consider me inspired.
18. Q: I love that, sorta answers my next question. Does fashion play a role in your everyday
life when it comes to inspiration?
19. A: I certainly think so. Especially nowadays you see people implemented any sort of
object or pieces of actual clothing onto their faces or makeup look. I find it to be amazing.
Art and fashion can’t exist without each other I feel like. If you don’t have art you don’t
really have fashion because you need some sort of sketch to make that piece of fabric
come to life. What we’re on right now (Second Life) is all coding and art. What are avatars
have now it’s and fashion. It’s something universal and that everyone knows what it
is even if they don’t understand it.
20. Q: That’s some real truth! I know you’re working on a beauty line for SL how’s that
going?
21. A: It’s going. I’m a super perfectionist so getting everything to work for every skin,
every lip shape, and every tone is a lot of hard work. I could release things that just fit
my avi but I don’t feel like it would be diverse enough for me. There will be more coming
soon though I just need to keep working harder.
22. Q: What inspired you to create one?
23. A: My Best friend in real life and my love for wanting to do makeup on avis when I’m
editing. I always try to break away from my style of editing but they always end up com
ing out very.. editorial? It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it is mine I guess. So sometimes
it’s a bomb ass edit with makeup and all that on a plain background lol.
24. Q: Well I can’t wait for it to release. We’ll have to feature it in another issue.
25. A: Thank you very much.
26. I’ve asked this question before, but with the LGBTQ movement, empowerment, and
many coming forward to make more changes when it comes to our rights and equality.
Do you feel SL is LGBTQ save or does this platform still needs work?
27. A: Like in real life I think it needs more work within the community itself. I don’t know
how people expect to change when most of the bashing comes from people of the LGBTQ
+ community. There’s enough hate for us out there why bring it here? I know most people
come to SL to escape that or something else in real life, maybe even come on here because
they aren’t sure of their sexuality. Instead of helping them and giving someone a
hand what do people do? (Gay men especially) “exposes” them or out them. Now, they
just made it 10x more harder for them to accept it in real life or to admit it to themselves
and their families. You should and be building them up and helping them not hurting
them. I can go on a whole story regarding sexuality and how I feel about the LGBTQ+
community on Second Life but we’d be here all day lol.
28. You what’s sad, everything you said is so true. We are a somewhat growing community
on Second Life, And the more this generation continues to bash, expose, and torment
our fellow brothers and sisters... we will continue to fail.
29. A: And until they learned that.. I don’t see things getting better. It’s always a competition
or something on here and it’s very toxic energy.
30. Q: As a gay male. How has you coming out effected your creative genius? And what
message would you send to those out there afraid to come out. Or wanting to live their
truth?
