Home Again, Home Again

Over 100 IMs O_O. Well, good to know I was somewhat missed. Now feel free to lob such missives as need lobbing at me!

On Holiday

Hello all, my valise (well, beat up plastic roll aboard) is laid out in front of me and I am ready to depart tomorrow morning on a Grand Adventure. More of a working vacation than anything else (I plan on doing a fair bit of writing), but it will be fun enough. Who knows, it may lead to Paths of Glory. Or at least get me out of the house for a week.

In any event, shall be back the week of the 18th, so if anyone has any product requests or issues, I'm afraid it will have to wait until then as I have made the decision Not To Check Email. I need a bit of mind clearing time, so no email, reading LOLCats, watching videos, reading the paper, and decidedly no Second Lifing. I hope I survive the experience!

Until then!

Skulls for Sale! Getcha Craniums 'Ere!

Well, not everyone has the time to sculpt their own skulls (link!), so I am now selling my skulls on the open market, specifically at the Dark Victorian Emporium in Caledon Tanglewood. Do stop by there if your tastes run towards black taffetta--there are some amazing works there by some top notch creators (i.e. not just my silly skulls).

The pricier one here is the full perm set, for use by vendors who wish to incorporate them in their own builds:




I am also selling no-copy versions which come with four skulls (for private use), or copy versions (for those who want to build with them, but don't intend to sell their builds).

I am also selling this silly set:



Touch the skull and the Raven squawks "Nevermore!" as voiced by our own talented Mr. Hotspur O'Toole (for some reason, I always did imagine that bird having a bit of a husky Northeastern US accent).

Again, all these and many more things by far more talented designers than I are available at the Dark Victorian Emporium (including a lovely Poppins avatar created by Mr. AM Radio).

And....coming soon (but probably after I return from holiday, as one never knows with scripted items):

Oooh, yet another online test

Well, not sure about the accuracy of this one, but I liked the card:

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Bitty Wheel Keeps on Turning....

Timid Mary keeps on smouldering!



A small but amazing well done craft here by Mrs. Carricre Wind (aka "Mama Cree") for the soon to be opened Relay For Life sim in Heroes 34. Visitors will take a Mississippi themed journey, thematically reflecting the experiences of the battle with cancer. AND you get to ride one of these paddlewheels, if you like. I was fortunate enough to see it the other day, as I made a few of the fish for the sim, and trust me, it's beyond amazing already. Just remember to go into the advanced environmental settings and turn the water brown :)

Awwww....

Mr. Nix Sands fiddled a bit with the cougar avatar I made and created this:

Ker-Splash!

Well, a bout with a cold led to a flurry of building. I finally learnt how to make skins, and put this avatar together.

A complete avatar, the Purple Beta includes a sculpted tail, skin, modifiable shape, hair, and the sculpted modesty shells. I also included a modesty set of extra scales for strategic areas, as I found that some mermaid sitting poses allowed a bit too much skin to be seen around the shells :P

Thanks to my friend Miss Jacquelin Seisenbacher of Ein Kleineschwein Designs for the wonderful hair work. Frankly the set is probably worth getting just for her hair alone.


I'm selling this for 100L in Relay For Life vendors only, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Association. Said vendor can be found in Caledon Lionsgate here:

While the avatar set does not include an AO, right next to the vendor is another from which you can get Duchess Kamilah Hauptmann's amazing mermaid AO for only a 50L Relay for Life donation. The avatar was designed with this AO in mind--unlike most, it recognizes the water surface and allows for multiple swimming speed and FANTASTIC jumping animations, complete with water spray and sound.

Safe Waters!
