Working In Second Life

For several months, I have been mostly absent from virtual worlds.  I have managed to visit my illustrations studio in Second Life a few times a week, working on illustrations for the third edition of Ermengarde The Expansive.  I expect this third edition to be published very soon.  In the meantime, here are a couple of samples of work created in SL for the book. 



FYI, I am still dealing with some significant health issues, so energy is limited.  Still, I hope to be more active inworld(s) after the first of the year.
