Playing catchup again, and I have a feeling i'm going to be doing it pretty often lol

 

So. The inspiration has been flooding in, and won't stop. I guess first i'll go with the bigger stuff, and work down.

 

The new showpiece, Ma Cherie, in black with white lace and blue with white lace. It is a take on Mana-sama's outfit from Gekka no Yasoukyaku, coming with many options for wear (though you might still want to find a decent AO for it) and is an elegant EGL dress set for peroid wear and cosplay. It can be unisex, though some might disagree. It never stopped Mana before though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, in the awakword Lolita line, I have also released "Fuzzeh Lolita Legwarmers" in packs of 4 and 5, in a variety of shades and colors to match most outfits. They're made of sculpted prims and flexi strings, while trimmed with black fur

 

The asian grunge series has asian inspired brocaid fabric and design typically seen on kimonos, mixed in with more updated blends as seen in the red and black skull cross knit and crinkled purple dragons.

 

 

The Lolita Edition has a mixture of knit, satin, crinkle and lace options with punky designs or black crosses, to match the more traditional style of dresses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The urban set is more for those of a more wild mind, with bright colors in Graffiti, bangel tiger print, pink skulls or red and black knit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most people will typically think SL hair is... hair... But not always. There are some who are daring enough to go bald, or almost bald.. This style is for them, or the demon avatar.

 

Dragon's Embrace is an exceptional array of vertebra that stretches from the center of the top of the head and curls around the face, tipped with sharp black clawlike horns, and "bangs" of the same material that frame the front of the face. A demo is in store, and it also comes with the option to wear them like horns as well.

 

 

Among the "insanely cute oh my god it's so addicting I want to tear my ears and eyes out but I can't stop looking away" anime songs.. there are two that come to mind. One, is Caramell Dansen, and the other, is the Lucky Star schoolgirls all doing parapara... While I cannot animate, someone already did and released a dance and gesture. So I threw that in full perm because it's just too good not to share, and flows right in with this next outfit.

 

Yep.. The lucky star cheerleader outfit. It's realistically textured, despite the blinding light used in the picture, and comes with pom poms, skirt, stockings, shirt and glitch pants.

 

For the skins.. I have also released Ame Skin. It comes in Porcelain, China, Tan, Ganguro and Gold, and has Ame (Rain) shadowed over the face in an a-symetrical design, and faint 'stress' marks along the neck. It comes in both Male and Female.

 

 

Annnddd finally.. 55 eyes!! 5 packs of 11 eyes, that come with prim options in case you want to have 'odd eyes'.

 

True Contact Eyes:

These eyes are meant to look 'fake', as if you are really wearing contacts.

 

 

 Fantasy Eyes:

Some have a blacked out base, some don't. These eyes are good for fantasy avatars, monsters, nekos, goths, and more.

 

 

 

 

FX Eyes:

A different take on the contact series. Spirals, hello kitties, X's, blood splatters and more.

 

 

 

 

 

Heart pupils in many different colors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neko Eyes:

For nekos, vampires or any other kin. Slitted pupils in colors inspired by gemstones and felines.

It's that time and we have 2 days left till Halloween comes and goes! So much going on in SL it's insane. I can't even keep up with all the wonderful hunts and things going on this time of month!

 Speaking of hunts.. I just want to send a little teaser for those that read this.. At Falln Angel Creations, Azriel and Tomoyuki are holding their annual pumpkin hunt.. and I sent him two outfits.. One, is the Glass Skin avatar, and the other.. Well.. It's a special one I made just for the hunt that is not going to be sold in the store. Ever. So you can only get it there :3 Do a search for Falln in world and the starting point is in the Cathedrial. You can pick up a notecard and travel through 5 of the Falln sims in search of over 91 pumpkins full of goodies. Hurry though, because the hunt started today the 29th and ends November 1st at 3:00am SLT.

 

As most know, a lot of designers in Pulse have put their stores on a 50% off sale, including mine! So EVERYTHING is slashed right down! Morrigan and Izam have also joined in the fun, so Metamorphoze is up on the skins floor also ^-^

We also made a cute poster for it too :3

 

 

Also for new releases, I have made two new skins to kick off my revamped J-rock line. Kozi and Mana. They come in gold, ganguro, tan, china and porcelain for all who want the option to be a bit darker xD

 

 

 

Also while doing the Ghost Busters hunt, I ran across this looking glass at The Sugar Mill. It's so awesome for photos I couldn't help myself o.o

 

 

As another announcement. After the Halloween sale I will be discontinuing a lot of things.. All the Halloween Items will be taken down forever, in every store location to be replaced with more things. The Squeak and Dolly hair will be taken down as well for renovations, the bobbing for eyeballs gift giver will be replaced with a lucky chair, the store might be undergoing some remodeling to utalize space better, and finally the checkmate outfits will be discontinued. Also, I am working on revamping my venders for hair. I will be doing more packs, like 'reds' 'streaked' 'blondes' 'black/whites', like most other hair designers.. there will be 3 hairs per pack, and possibly priced at 200L per hair. While it's not like it has been, you still get a good deal, since any individual hairs are priced at 100L. I hope everyone understands these changes ^^

Well that's it for now. Have a wonderful holiday!

Ok. No i'm not dead, I just have been neglectant lol

 

So, that means I have a lot of work to do in this blog!

With the start of October, it means the beginning of fall.. While I don't quite follow season trends, at least not yet and not always, October is a very important month for me. It means Halloween! It means the coming to the end of a year... The leaves are falling, trees change into beautiful russic colors and the temperature starts to drop. In my case, where I live.. it just started to snow today and fall is over. -.-

Anyway. You don't read this blog to hear me sentimentally yammer about my love for dying trees. You want updates, donchya?

 

To start off.. We haaveee..

 

Bara no Seidou. It translates roughly into 'Church of Roses' or 'Sanctuary of Roses'. It is an outfit inspired by Klaha from when he was in Malice Mizer. It comes with a Flexi coat, undershirt with sculpted sleeves and prim ribbon and lace detail and a sculpted collar with flexi ribbons.

In the photo I used a cute little prop made by Tomoyuki Batra. His store is called Little Boy Blue and in my hand is his red hair rose. Now.. Of course Klaha didn't wear hair flowers, but I wanted a nice little something to go along with the falling rose petals so I went immediately to his store and.. Let me tell you.. The detail in that flower is amazing. It looks totally real.

 

Also. While I am sure Klaha didn't have cute elf ears, the ones I use are from Sn@tch and match my skins the most o.o plus.. I just like their shape.

I also found Gritty Kitty's Gazette hair to be fitting as well o.o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next... we havee... Requiem. I've been on this horrid Gothic Lolita kick and it won't let me go. However while everyone else makes cute babydoll skirts and some shorter renderations of EGL, i'm more into a different style.. I saw the outfit on a cute EGL site and fell immediately in love with the design of the skirt. I took off from there and used different elements to create what I have here.

 

 

It comes with *takes a deep breath* A top hat with prim buckles and flexi straps, a shirt that can be worn with or without the jacket (it has little crosses on the chest), prim cuffs with crosses, prim collar with buckled chokers, the skirt is fully prim with chains, cross charms, buckles, has an underlayer of a white skirt, glitch pants, another layer of black pants, and mismatched lace and white knee high socks with a cross on the knee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also. I've been looking into this whole Twisted Alice craze that everyone has been doing, and I love it. Yes, we all know and remember the stories from when we were kids.. Disney's renderation of Alice, which of course always differed from the actual book, and then people since then have done little 'psychotic alice' fan art along with many other variants. Now, we have Jabberwocky sims popping up (which is a friggin awesome sim) and other such things...

All I know, is from my parousing of American's game, I immediately fell in love with the Cheshire Cat. And what came of it? twitchy neko ears, tail, and a skin!

 

 

The ears come in 6 colors, and twitch randomly. I wanted to keep with the very tapered design and I loved the idea of a few small piercings, so I included that into them. They are mod and copy, so you can tint them, or add your own piercings to them and make them yours!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And of course.. Tails.

I've had the scripts for these babies sitting in my inventory for a while, and I was a bit nervious about making neko parts. But one day I just descided to do it. A few hours of fighting with alphas, twitch settings, and prims. We have the poofy striped tails that will more remind you of Disney's virsion. But.. hey. I couldn't resist the fluffy tapered look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh oh.... and *peers at the picture* To complete the look. I renovated my skins as promised and released them with a not so normal theme. Of course more will be coming, but I had to start off with a full body.

This skin.. truely was fun. It has a design in the front of the chest like the skeletal markings of a rib cage, and visible detail of a spine in the back. From both, black stripes branch out and nearly fade to veins. To follow with the tails and ears I then added lines of color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not leaast...

I wanted to do another themed avatar for Halloween. While I have my Witch Lolita, I just wanted to do something more. At first I designed this for the Falln Pumpkin hunt (and will still be in the hunt) and I wasn't going to put it up for sale, but a friend talked me into it. It is a fully prim avatar..And I mean full.. I started with a prim head, and made a custom shape to make my head transparent and use the sculpted head over it so you could litterally -see- through the face. Then I added eyes, Then the cowl and hair... Then I had loads of fun slowly making my body dissappear and adding a prim rib cage and tattered rags over my non existant body xD

 

 

 

The photos were done in windlight. No editing was done to them at all. The entire avatar has a low glow to it. The only thing you don't get is an AO.. >.>

But they're pretty easy to make.. and you can get some decent cheap hovers, replace the animations and.. float around as you walk!

 

 

 

 

 

Well.. That's about it for new releases. for now anyway. This week I have more skins, some prim eyes, hair and another outfit in the works. So i'll be posting as updates arise ^^

Also. My sick sense of humor got the better of me. I installed a bobber in my store, and i'll be randomly adding prizes and taking some out at different intervals. I won't tell you what the prizes are, but I announce them frequently in my group ^^ Just look for the bubbling pot of eyeballs sitting on the log. *winks* You might get candy.. or you might get something from my store!

Ok... Many people are going to gut me >.>

This week, I am working (i hope) on two to three more outfits. Once I finally sit down and get down to it. I want to make boots, some pieces for people to mix and match, and give more variety to everyone.

We all know I make stuff you'd call 'visual kei' or 'jrock' inspired. and it is. It's what I have always made and it's what I will continue to make, even if i stray sometimes xD

 

But it means more hair, more clothes, shoes, and I plan to start making more masculine stuff for the guys out there too! Right now, the Halloween rush is in and I plan to fully get it out of my system >.>

 

Along this week, I have made a serious deliberation. I've changed my skin templates once again, and i'm almost done with the updated product. What this means, is all my skins on the top floor are obsolete. out of date. fin. I'm not pleased anymore with them, and all they're doing is taking up space xD So, i'm putting them on sale, 50% off for the entire week.. then monday next week, i am taking them down forever. New ones will go up in their place as I make them. So.. if you held on to any demos, thought the skin was too expencive but wanted it anyway, it's gonna be for sale for 350L, and then gone. Get them while you can!

 

I have a new blog too, and I will be trying to switch things over to that one. I know a lot of you are reading my blog regularly on the vox community. What I will try to do is get a link to the RSS feed which you can have sent directly to you each time I update and place it in my store once I figure out how to do it. Also working on getting a hippo-groups, whichs works like a subscribe-o-matic. So we shall see how things go :D

So.. It took a long while, but I finally finished the store remodel, updated the venders on the skins, shoved them up and made room on the bottom for new stuff. I'm finally expanding!

 

Looks so much bigger now, huh? o.o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And.. to fill that space on the bottom, I finally descided to get back into clothing o.o

First up -

 

 

 

Autumn Victorian! Named and inspired by Emilie Autumn, a georgious singer with just the most wicked sense of victiorian guro lolli style.

 

This outfit was complex, but it's click menu color change with a detailed prim garter and accessories, and you can mix-and match to your heart's content.

 

 

 

Paired with it's counterpart

Midnight Victorian

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now.. After first handing this outfit off to my friends, they said.. Make socks!

 

So I did...

 

Another thing I tackled, after much hesitation, was hair.. So now, there's two styles to choose from and so many more on the way o.o

 

 

As inspired by a very popular Suicide Girl named 'Squeak', I remembered seeing this style and immediately posed a search. After much grunting and groaning in photoshop, I finally made dread falls in pigtails! Each hair has a different assortment of corresponding colors and comes in 16 different styles with 3 packs, each one priced at 200L a pop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always thought orange just wasn't used enough in SL.. So, while texturing this I said '...woah, halloweeny'

So now, Squeak, Exclusive only for this season! Why not start early? 100L

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Named after... a dolly. This hair is perfect for the EGL in you, with a-symetrical coloring in the bangs and pigtails, made of flexi and sculpties

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well... That's it for now from me. In the words I will have manicures and pedicures available that I saved a space for on the skins floor, and am currently in the works of making more hair, neo japanesque kimonos, and a few more skins. Also, an exclusive set of halloween costumes for everyone! So keep your eyes peeled!
