Update, Gatcha, Previews...

You ever have those moments that you almost hit yourself int he forehead going 'why did I not realize this before?!' and feel like a real idiot?

Yeah, I had one of those today.

My L account this week has been running really low, so I haven't been able to purchase the last skins I wanted to be able to match scales to them before the Heartsick event. (Long story short, see past links, the event is bumped to the start of May, details : http://foraevaheartsick.wordpress.com/ ) And as I want to have as much done and ready for the event and the amazing release of my Dragon Scales series, I was starting to be a hint panicked.

I was pondering the chances of getting something from Aeva for matching purposes when my forehead hitting moment came. She has demos. D'oh! So! While I may not have the full skins to prove how wonderfully they all blend and all, I do have the demos and will show you, here, how perfectly made for her color schemes they are (though they will work with a variety, I assure you).



Now, on another note...

I won't be releasing the full dragon scales set until the benefit. I also know I don't have a lot of people that follow this blog regularly. So I'm opening up a small pre-release treat. Gatcha.


Full Dragon Scale sets will be copy/mod/no trans, include all clothing layers and in the future, I may even build 'kits' that people can purchase to assist in creating a dragon av (namely, horns color matched and a full perm texture of the scales for tails. Wings too, if I get ambitious or someone wants to sponsor just such a project...) The Gatcha is JUST a tattoo, no copy/mod/trans... so that in true Gatcha fashion you can swap as you like with others, gift to friends and try for that uncommon or rare. Also, the rainbow? Likely to only be in the Gatcha, unless I have a high request for it (::snort::).

So there ya go, full preview of the dragon scale line and how they match to skins (with an exception for the gold that was a special request), info on the gatcha, and update on the benefit.

Oh, you'll need a LM... Here, have a limo. (deleted) ... Have this limo to the benefit instead.. gatcha is there! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Adjewelation/57/56/23  As the benefit is now over, you can find my gatcha in world here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Novazeit/245/17/2802

New Release: Reptile Scales

So in my previous post I showed the Dragon Scales I will have for 'Just Heartsick', the benefit that will be held this month for Amesha Jewell of Heartsick skins. Once that benefit starts up, I'll snap some photos of the images for sale and post a LM so that anyone who wants can come and take a look. If you are a designer and would like to offer something, ping me, I'll get you the NC.

But... prior to all that, was the preview of my Reptile Scales. Today, I was bored. And I realized that while I normally erase and hate seams on skins like the plague, this time, they don't show up as much. So, I decided that I would do the tattoo with the seams and complete effect. Copy/Mod and done in white, per norm, so that you can color tint to the skin they are used on. These I think will be included in my Dragon Scales Tattoo for 'Just Heartsick' cause I can. for now, here's a preview.

Oh, and until the event, or first 100 buyers, it's free.

Preview: Dragon Scales

For some people, they create content on SL as a hobby. Others make things because they aren't out there. Some make them for casual income, others to support SL habits and some for RL income.

Amesha Jewell of Heartsick ( http://aeva-heartsick.blogspot.co.uk/ ) is one of the last. There's a number of content creators within SL that I like to support. Mostly it is those that are kind and generous and thankful to their customers. They are also those that tend to give a lot for paying a lot. Amesha is one of those creators.

When a group notice and quite plea went out to the members of the Heartsick group because of the dying computer and need to get a new one, I could relate to the story. At first, I was going to make a set of tattoos dedicated to her skins in the hopes of generating some income for her to help out. Then, the skins I had intended to base this around were removed...

... I wasn't sure how I wanted to move forward then. I still knew the tattoo I wanted to make. I still knew that what you got for buying the fantasy skins was well worth the price. I also knew I didn't have the L to buy all the fantasy skins that were available. It was a minor impasse.

It was then late last night that chat for the group opened up with another SLer asking about designers. An SLer that was working with Amesha and had decided to help by putting together a fundraiser. And so, a solution presented itself.

I will be one of however many designers end up in this benefit. We are being asked to have one item that will be put up for 100L. The hope is that with enough sales and proceeds from the event, this content creator will be able to continue creating, gifting content, and be able to make a RL income from SL.

More information about the event will be posted as it comes up, and likely a post with images of all the items being offered. (Fingers crossed...)

So, to give a taste of what I myself will be offering up... I present, Dragon Scales.

Deity Skin: Ocean & Ciel with 'Dragon Blue Scales'

Deity Skin: Storm &Abyss with 'Dragon Grey Scales'

Mythos & Myth with 'Dragon Purple Scales'

Each set is colored to the skin shown, and will work best with those colors. Placing on a natural colored skin will show the color of the scales more prominently. Unisex. Clothing layers will also be included.  Other color requests will be taken, and plans for red and green are already slated. Also will be considering selling 'Dragon Building Kits' that will include scale tattoos, seamless scale texture, tail, horns and spikes if an interest becomes known.

So feel free to become a follower and keep up on the details and new releases!

Preview: Reptile Scales

When a friend asked me why I hadn't finished a previously mentioned thought of dragon/reptile scales, I had no good answer beyond 'I just haven't'. This, of course, prompted me to sit down and start work on it. As always the tattoo itself is white and will come with copy/mod permissions so that you can tint it to any color your wish to match the skin that you are wearing. And, as always, I do take special requests and input. Take a look at what is to come! (XYR free fantasy skins used for the girls once again. Guys are varying locations. Tattoos were the same preset colors.)
