(Noir) Blow the candle

(Noir) Blow the candle
This photo is my first for the “Noir” series inspired by my current song obsession of the same title by South Korean artist, Sunmi. The song talks about how far people go for likes and follows even if it means losing their true selves, or worse, putting themselves or others in dangerous situations. We’ve seen stuff like this on Youtube and other social media platforms that sometimes led to people involved getting hurt or even ending in fatality. It always has me thinking, “Is having a massive following really worth all that?”

Check out Sunmi’s song here and take the jump for photo credits!

Black Dahlia

This is the first time I have used a graphics tablet and it’ll take me some time to get the hang of it. It’s like learning how to write and draw all over again! Although it is a bit difficult, it is more precise than using a mouse especially when it comes to drawing lines.

Black Dahlia

Romance Couture is an up and coming brand in Second Life and Eleseren Brianna, the genius behind it all, has already released some of the most elegant gowns you’ll ever see in the grid. You can grab this beautiful dress made especially for Halloween for free when you join the in-world group. Wraith Night is a dark, stunning floor-length lace dress with dual slits, a long train, and a red silk rose/ribbon that adds a pop of color.
