this is another picture of the first night we spent in vrchat. we took a few pictures, but none of them really seem that good. this one stands out though. it would be a shame to not share it. we posted a sketch inspired by this picture because we kept thinking about the first time we used a hip tracker in vr.
its taken a few days to really proccess how we felt in that picture. this feeling of joy and relief from going to a made up place. of being in something away from your usual life. its there because thats what we desire. we want a world where we can be whisked away from our troubles.
and thats something we already do. daydreaming about personal projects, crafting this deep interconnected world, is something we have done since middle school. maybe further.
we want that world. we want that kind of dream to exist. we want to get away.
and seeing something else in the mirror? something we would love to be?
thats a dream come true.
thats not just something in the mirror. thats me. us. i look and it looks with me. i raise my hands and it raises them with me. and with a hip tracker, it now turns with me, ever growing that connection between us.
we didnt really understand what was going on at the moment. we only had to catch a glimpse and it set our head on fire. our thoughts were reduced to an overwhelming tingling sensation. it suprised us. not even knowing how to move. we had to sit down.
this is what we wanted. something we never would have expected to be possible. a dream.
whats in the mirror is me. i am the one looking, waving, turning. i can feel this new body. i can feel its movements. its differences.
i have three fingers on a hand that is larger than what you would usually see. i can wear the sleeves, going over my hands and up my arms. the color of this fur is one i love. i wear it with excitement. i look up at the mirror into my own eyes. my snout catches my attention, along with the ears that wave with my head.
i crouch out of suprise.
it moves with us.
this picture was on the second day, after getting comfortable with this new form. we spent a lot of time alone to ourselves, getting familiar with the feeling. its that dream of being somewhere else, made easy to imagine. it was exciting. we love this feeling.
i also understand transformation stuff now too lol.
