Silvia's works

She's brushing her hair before going to bed...
The title is a quote from the video of the celebrated contemporary artist Marina Abramovic "Artist must be beautiful", in which the artist brushes her hair and repeat obsessively this phrase.
I tried to capture a gesture we made a lot of times in RL. We usually don't do this in SL, but we are always very careful to the look of our virtual alter ego... Avie MUST be beautiful (in all the meanings of the word "beautiful")!
About the technique:
-I used a photostudio, then rez the furniture and the animated brush
-Photoshop: I smoothed the edges with the blur tool; correct the background with the clone stomp tool; adjust the color (more cyan), the luminosity and the contrast; then add a disturb (a light granulosity) for all the picture.

Great concept. I think this would have worked better with a non-glassy (alpha) table though. Also, some shadings on the wall, to give it more depth.
