Cica Rust 5

You might remember that I posted about Cica Ghost’s installation on LEA13 in early February.  That was her black and white hand drawn animated world.  It was one of my favorite creations in such a long time.  Well, we are in a new LEA season, and I stopped by LEA13 again just to see what might be here.  Cica once again is building an incredible world called “Rust” and while still under construction, I couldn’t stop myself from taking pics and tell you about it!  This installation is so different from the last, in all but Cica’s signature “hat” shape.

Cica Rust 6

There are machines, chains, mushrooms, balloons, birds, and buildings all in a rusted metal finish.  Nearly everything is again animated and it is fascinating to walk around the path.. watching the mushroom hats and springs pop from the ground or the water/oil drip from screens and faucets to the gear shaped flowers sprouting all about.  Look for the elephant family and the big bird on the hill looking over eggs in cages.

Cica Rust 3

There are many things that you can sit upon and be a part of the exhibit, or you can just perch in a chair and reflect on the muddy rusty atmosphere.  Cica Ghost is doing it again, another fascinating build on LEA13.

Cica Rust 2

This is truly what LEA is about… the opportunity for creativity to be shared with others.  Be sure to visit “Rust” soon… and again, after that, just to be sure you don’t miss anything that Cica plans to share with us.

.. 2304 Rain ..

Rain 2304

Have you ever wanted to find a sim where the rain falls hard and steady?  A place that might not make sense, but then it must make sense to its creator?  The “2304 Rain” build on the Sankt Moritz sim is one of those places.  The rain pours over the entire surface of the sim.  The only place to get away from it is in side a few of the objects strewn across the sim – either inside a culvert, the entry house, or maybe a couple of other places.  Additionally, you can climb the spiral staircase to a platform high above the sim surface, up above the rain, and have a view of everything.  Squonk Levenque has created this interesting place that provides the rain, the interest, and the thoughtful placement of interesting objects sized both normally and largely, to make you feel at times quite tiny and normal all the same.  Be aware that the rain might cause your viewer fps to drop, especially if you are on ultra and you turn on shadows, but there are areas where you will have some solace from that viewer side lag, and can still snap pics and enjoy the surroundings.  If you are just exploring, there are really no reasons to turn on your shadows.

Rain 2304 2 022613

I want to darken in the skies
“Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight”

“Let the Rain” by Sara Bareilles

Rain 2304 3 022613

Follow the windlight setting that Squonk has set as default which is  Windlight Sky: “[AnaLu] outdoor city weirdlights” and Water: “Glassy”.  But then play a little with other options and see what you can come up with.  It is always fun to ‘paint the sky’ in your own way.  Just get on over to “2304 Rain” and be sure to grab an umbrella while you are there!
