Madcow Cosmos 14 Days 14 Sculptures - DAY 6

A BIG MANGA/ANIME Fan I am, I felt so animated when I took this shot. Don't you think that I posed like one of the characters in Gundam, when they are standing on their machine, looking all brave and full of power? Haahaaa

Another remarkable works from Madcow (MC for short), the theme today is Steam Punk and somehow, it reminds me of the Movie - Steamboy by Hayo Miyazaki.

"By land, sea, or air; I still call it steam punk:
Steam punk is among my very favorite styles to build in. First off its an incredibly varied style, from the very historically acurate pieces, things fueled by the fiction of the victorian era, to fantasy dwarves with magical steam engines its a expansive genere. This leads to a lot of possiblities for freedom and artistic enjoyment. The gadgets and the detail also big draws for me as well as anything I feel like doing I feel like doing with a few hundred prims. Steam punk is also a style that enjoys the epic, titanic sized land vessles to match those of the sea. As such you can't ask for a closer match to my building style and no steam punk builder is short on inspiration in SL with some of the exceptionaly friendly communities centered around it."

Madcow Cosmos 14 Days 14 Sculptures - DAY 5

I was extremely lazy than before, and the moment I stepped into OB to continue the saga of Madcow's sculptures, i stopped short. DAMN! My system is starting to fail me, I took almost a minute or so to complete the whole rezzing! (Joeru needs more ram!)

The theme for today is HOUSE, not that TV series HOUSE of course but the ones we live with a roof over our heads.

My favourite of all - the Birdy House - which I found out was base on a myth character, Baba Yaga. Madcow always attach a notecard on each day's exhibit (I noticed it only now!)

Take A Look!

"I'm no engineer, I am not an master of floorplans, and I am not the person you want to build your house if you want to actually move around in it or use it. I build art houses because SL is a place where you don't really need to live in a house anyways and it helps me reach my goal of encouragign people to play around on my creations. These objects are art first and such petty concernes as function a distant thrid (don't ask me what second is). The largest one I call Cart of Doom. The idea is a house that is actually a house , or at least a fortress, but put in a very different and fantastic context which helps taking it out of its element. The next two, the Alarming house and the Wine House, are based on taking everyday objects and turning them into homes. Kind of like some strange functional still life. Its nice when you can turn an everyday object on its head. The final one is a steam punk version of a fictional house Baba Yaga's Hut. It's nice to occasionally borrow from others peoples imagination and give it a flar of my own. I decided I was in the mood for a bit of a steam punk build and just went for it. So the next time you are thinking of a house, remember there are peole in SL who really design houses, but consider putting one of mine out on the lawn."

Kakis Isles - IN ACTION!!!

In March, there was an entry on finding people from my homeland. Since then, I have known many of them and keep in close contacts.

Now, officially, I have a home of my own. A group of us who are taking SL seriously got together and bought a sim together. The sim will be divided into island where each of us can develop the way we desire.

Kaki is a Malay word, which means friends/buddies. Just the perfect description of us at Kakis Isles.

Excitement is building up every single log-in and construction is underway. A blog site was dedicated to the Isles, up-to-date on what's the development and interesting happenings.

FIRE UP PEOPLE!

Madcow Cosmos 14 Days 14 Sculptures - DAY 4

I need to say this here... I think...

I'M IN LOVE!!!

I know this is just a one-sided love but I can't help it. Blame it on Madcow. He seduced me with his quick-ed change of AVs, from this long-legged Daddy machine to this steam run Robot.

We LOok Like A Great Couple

Well, to be precise, it's just one-sided love but I'm contented, because I have the chance to witness Madcow's works! BTW, I love men with their brains and talent, not bodies. Haahaaa

Today's theme is the Battle in the Insects Kingdom.

One praying mantis with a spider covering the top of OB gallery, they seem like peeking over the pillars looking at the arriving guests. On the ground were an Avatar size robotic spider and a fighter Praying Mantis. Having avatar size sculptures are fun to be around with, for photo taking and also better to zoom into the details of each sculpture.

Joeru picked a fight with Mr. P Mantis,
Withe erm... rug doll as hostage. Haahaa

Had a quick chat with Morris & Madcow (M&M), I reallied why there was a notice that said, It's alright to touch the sculptures. Apparently, many people thought that in SL, sculptures are not meant to be touch. (Joeru is now wondering if that's the case, she must have been blacklisted in many places then.) One can't experience the Madcow's madness in creation WITHOUT being on/in it. Almost all of them can be ridden and built for exploring. It will be such a waste to just stand and watch. Argh!

Everyday, there is always new meaning in going into OB to watch the next display.

*NOTE: Due to some issues, I can't load photos from flickr to blogger, thus, please excuse the size of the photos. Do click into each photo to have a clearer look.*

Bones Bones Bones...

I felt so much closer when I saw these.

Extermely underweight in both RL and SL, I was often given nickname like Pork Ribs, which seems to be the best description for people to assocaite me with. Don't ask why. Haahaaa...

View of me from the Mouth Entrance

Madcow was showing off his two monsters, one standing on top of the gallery, while the other lie down quietly on the ground.

As mentioned in my previous entry, creator exceptionally loves making skeletons, these two creations did show off his talent and his seriousness with these beings.
