Fantasy Faire!

It's here!

And now we are past some of the starting rush as well. Below are the items that are new releases at the faire this year. Some are RFL items, some are not. I will also have a complete set of the gacha up for the silent auction, and gacha #23 & #24 as the hunt prize -- which has now started!

Take a swing by and explore the many, many sims of this huge event, dedicated to the fantastical and hope.

Bakes On Mesh (BoM), Recent Releases, and RL

Hello, hello!

It has been a bit. Part of this is that I have not been creating much, but also that this blog does not get much attention. The easiest way to remain up to date on recent :[Even~Tide]: releases is through Flickr ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/evegaelyth/ ) and subscribing in-world for updates ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Novazeit/244/8/2801 ). I will occasionally also send group gifts out through the subscriber. It does not take any precious group slots.

Bakes On Mesh

If you haven't yet heard, SecondLife has released 'Bakes on Mesh'. This is a feature that allows you to wear SL system layers and they will show up on your mesh body attachment -- if your mesh is updated for BoM, and your viewer is as well. Firestorm and the main SL viewer are both capable, as well as others that I am not familiar with. I do not know what bodies are currently updated except Slink and Maitreya has a temporary relay HUD that can be used until they make their full BoM release. 

When I make products for release in SL, I normally include the system layer, Omega applier, Slink applier and Maitreya applier. This is to give the widest range I reasonably can. However, because Slink and Maitreya now both do BoM, there is no longer a need for separate appliers unless I am including materials. The only exception to this is tattoos that I wish to give left arm and right arm options to. That is something that I will do for Slink (as that is an option for that body) and in Omega Evolved appliers. 

One of the wonderful things about BoM is if you are a long time SL user, you may still have in your inventory past skins and tattoos that you could no longer use when you switched to a mesh body, and now those can be used once more! I have always included system layers in my tattoo sets where I was reasonably able, to continue the accessibility for as many as possible.

Summary:

-Slink and Maitreya allow for Bakes On Mesh so you can wear system layer tattoos.

-I will only make Slink and Maitreya appliers when using materials or need a right and left option (Slink).

-Past tattoos already include system layers.

-I will continue to make system layer and Omega appliers. 

And do not even get me started on TheMeshProject (#TMP). They have new bodies out, but due to their policies and methods, I do not have a way to make tattoos for them. 

Recent Releases

As I mentioned, the best way to keep track of newer releases is to follow on Flickr or in-world. However, to show what's available since the last blog post, look below!

There were releases for Fantasy Faire, but as they are not available now, I won't tease you with them. I expect them to be in my Fantasy Faire shop in 2020 however, as I often include past exclusive releases.

Real Life

With SecondLife, we don't often share a lot about our Real Life or First Life. However, I will share that I have a major life change coming up within the week, and do not expect to have a lot of time online. I intend to continue creating and participating in events as I am able, such as Fantasy Faire in the spring, and a few rounds of We <3 RolePlay! (WLRP). I am, in fact, working on all things needed at this moment to attempt to be in the December round of the event. 

I hope the upcoming winter finds you all well!

New Release!

Out for the month of February (2019) at We <3 RP!  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Riverhunt/137/126/1503

'Strings of Gold' is a new tattoo with two versions - A and B. Materials enabled, so you can play and get that perfect bit of shine. Single set (A or B), 90L. Double set (A&B) 150L. 25% discount for their release! 

And, if you like them, but gold isn't your color? Worry not! I've already had a request for silver, and will release it at the latest at Fantasy Faire (whenever that is). I will also have other versions/styles that will be along this same idea, and release those with the silver, and possibly copper or bronze. And yes, faces will also be coming. 

Out this month at the Underdog Event... http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20RFyre/84/124/22

I know, I know, not exactly new, but the color is! For the Underdog Event I was a last minute fill in, and have out a number of items that I have made in the past, with the one detail of they are currently on sale for half off. Yes, yes, my Cyber Lines series and Colored Fades are ONLY 35L. There's a lot of Sci-Fi looks out there right now, so this would be a great time, and place, to pick some up!

Underdog Event Release, WiP

Hey, hey!

Two posts in one month?! Amazing, I know.

This month, however, I was accepted as a last minute add in for a newer event called 'Underdog'. This event is geared toward getting lesser known content creators highlighted and out into the open. Because I was a last minute add-on/on call, I don't have anything entirely new for the event. However, I spent a mad dash 48 hours doing some rearrangement on one of my new releases to release something that I at least love the idea of.

Can you spot the difference? These Mosaic Spot Variations offer multiple wear styles. Hips or no hips, arms or no arms! The vest doesn't come down as far, making it a different balance of the look. This is also using the Mosaic 2 breast spots, which is a bit of a better coverage. White and black options and some customization could probably be requested. ;) TMP, Omega and System included. (Slink has weird lineups and needs a different torso texture; contact me if you'd like that fitting.)

On another note, while Fantasy Faire is still months away, I want to be ahead of the game and have things ready. I also want to be taking some time to attempt a few tattoos that have eluded me for ages in getting them to look the way I want, so I'm going to be attempting those as well. However, I do have at least one Work In Progress shot for those curious, of one of the tattoos currently getting some love for a release ... somewhere in the future.

Yes I know, all the scales, right? Don't worry! I have OPTIONS planned. All the choices. Cause what better way to be suitable for my roleplayers and fantasy av builders than to give plenty of choices? Have to have some way to build what no one else will let you make.

Swing by the Underdog event, and take a peek at all the great designers!

General Update, New-ish Releases

It's been too long since the last post, so I'll try to bring you up to speed.

Last year :[Even~Tide]: was in two RFL events in SL. Sci-Fi Convention and Fantasy Faire. Between the two, new releases were made of Trill Spots, Cyber Lines, Wing Scars, and special rainbow and gold editions of tattoos such as Magical, Seelie Glow and Seelie Scar. Since then, due to RL, participation in other events and new releases, in general, has been limited. Mosaic Spots and Frosted were both released through Genre.

Now, with 2017 come to a close, I look to my plans forward for 2018. An addition set and variation on the Battle Scars tattoo in the form of Fantasy Scars, with scarring from bites, claws and other wounds (if you are a fan of the Battle Scars); Variations of the new Mosaic Spots that will include ombre with intents to release this in the spring for Fantasy Faire as a limited edition or possibly gotcha; a brand new tattoo called 'Pebbling' meant to be suitable for more reptilian avatars and was inspired by turtles and tortoises; Updates for a variety of tattoos once Omega Evolved is released for Slink and Maitreya (this will allow all updated bodies to choose one arm for tattoos the way that slink already allows); And other tattoos as need and inspiration strike. (So, ya know, feel free to send inspiration links or requests.)

If you are looking for the best way to keep up on New Releases, hit the subscriber in world, or follow on Flickr.

Have a Happy New Year!

New Release! ... Kinda.

If you know me at all, or just look at my profile, you'll see that I am an RPer. RP is really where I started with my tattoo creation, and it's where I continue to look for ideas even today. The concept was to create tattoos that could be used on any skin to allow people to create their favorite fantasy avs in a way that might otherwise be out of their reach simply do to the cost of (often amazing) fantasy skins. Skins are HARD if you didn't know, and very worthy of the price asked for them. That said, I didn't want limited funds to prevent RPers from playing certain races.

To this day, my hallmark items are my scales. And, yes, in the future, there is yet another scale item that will be coming. 

However, as I said, I'm an RPer. 

So as a way to give back to the community that has given me so much, I have created a special edition of some select tattoos. The color set is inspired from the sim itself.

Product Information:

All packs sold on the Marketplace will include Omega, System and TMP. Because Slink and Maitreya can be applied via Omega, I did not see reason to make extra appliers (though I can given time and a special request). Per norm and original, all tattoos are Unisex. (Don't know Omega? Look here! )

New Dragon

- 12 unique tattoos.

- 6 regular or faint, 6 heavy or dark (so two fade levels of each tattoo)

- Scales are Purple (made from purple/silver), Blue (made from blue/brown) and Metallic (brown/silver). Two versions of each, plus two fade levels.

- Torso and legs only.

Mer Scales

- 6 unique tattoos.

- Scales are Purple (made from purple/silver), Blue (made from blue/brown) and Metallic (brown/silver). Two versions of each.

- Face (omega and system), torso and legs.

Faun Spots

- 3 unique tattoos

- Each tattoo is made of two colors. Purple/Silver, Blue/Brown, Silver/Brown.

- Face (from simple spots styling, omega and system), torso and legs.

Tiger Stripes (Two Tone)

- 6 unique tattoos

- Each tattoo is made of two colors. Purple/Silver, Blue/Brown, Silver/Brown.

- Each version has regular and 'faded'.

- Torso and legs only.

Runner Paint (Special)

- 4 unique tattoos

- Combination of normal 'Runner Paint' styles for a special release style.

- Four colors: Purple, Brown, Silver, Blue.

- Face (omega and system), torso and legs.

Because of the kind sponsorship of a friend, Eglantine Broome ( <3 ), I am able to offer these tattoos with 100% going to the sim to assist with funding a new sim and build. These tattoos will only be available for a limited time. How long? I haven't decided yet.

I will also do the following alterations. Simply buy the original product, then send a polite IM or NC with the request of which tattoo and what alteration you would like. If you would like it in TMP, it will be added to the existing style mode hud, and there will be an additional 10L charge, due to the extra cost of creating a preview image. Please understand, while these alterations can be quick, I am often in the middle of something else so it may take awhile, though rarely more than 48 hours. 

Faun Spots: Solid color, purple/blue, half intensity/faded 

     - No Face, 20L per tattoo, made in system and omega

     - With Face, 30L per tattoo, made in system and omega

Tiger Stripes: Solid color, purple/blue (either intensity)

     - 20L per tattoo, made in system and omega

Runner Paint, Mer Scales

     - System layer, no face tattoo. 0L

I think that covers everything. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me in world at Eve Gaelyth. And if you are an RPer yourself, looking for an urban fantasy sim, check out Convergence!

Thank you, Z, for all that you have done and strive for. 

New Release - Unmasking a Cure - RFL Event

If you are a fan of spots, then you'll like this most recent release and the ones that are likely to come with it.

Some of you may be familiar with my 'Quick Spots'. Originally, these were done, as the name implies, quickly. There are a lot of spots out on the market, and some people care about seams, and some people don't. So, just to toss something out there for those that might not be as concerned about those seams, I did Quick Spots, and gave it a price to match.

Now, forever later, I've gone back and made another set. They are small and filled in, but this time I paid special mind to the seams, arranging and rearranging to try and see that they were avoided without looking like it, to give a better over all impression. More work, more cost. But now there will be a few new versions of this, Simple Spots.

Sides will be a regular release, as a head nod to the original 'Quick Spots' style. As a Special Release, only to be seen at RFL events, are Faun - Rainbow version of the Simple Spots.

New! New Dragon

Long time, no see, I know.

You may be better keeping track of what's going on by hitting the in world subscriber. In fact, do so, and you can even check for past items in the history and check out a few of the group gifts.

If you love the Dragon Scales, you might be very interested in this one...

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Analog%20Dog%20Hair/44/226/3285

'New Dragon' is a variation on the original Dragon Scales. Still Unisex. Nine color choices. Each includes system layer tattoo, plus appliers for Slink Physique, Omega and TheMeshProject. (Want materials? Want other clothing layers? Let me know!)

Soon I'll also put up my 'Glow Element - Water' gacha in the in world store. Soon is relative however, so.. if asked... I might put a few of them, limited supply, on the marketplace for grabbing.

New Release & Updates!

Hello, Hello!

Newest Release: Dirty Body

I have had a few different friends ask for a dirt or dusty tattoo for their Slink Physique bodies, and finally was able to finish one for them. Two colors included, plus applier for TMP and Omega, as well as system tattoo layers (that include dirt on the face).

I have also been creating and updating past tattoos to have versions useable on Slink. Check out the marketplace for all the newest updates. http://tinyurl.com/mbghqoo

New Releases: Winter Expo

December 4th through the 15th will be the 'Christmas Expo and Winter Breedables Fair'. Now, I'm not a breedables merchant, as you know, but I do like to be part of fairs and events. This one is meant to benefit Relay For Life, just as the Fantasy Fair does in the summer. So, for this event, I have two new and exclusive items out. After the event ends, these items will disappear! (Hence the 'Exclusive'.)

As you can see, I stayed more true to my fantasy side, and went with the 'winter' more than the 'Christmas'. Both the av set (hair not included) and the dragon scales set are 200L each with all of that going straight to RFL. I also have at silent auction the chance for the winner bidder to get three scale tattoos made to their custom request. That's right, if you are a fan of the mer, dragon or scaling series tattoos (including normal or revealed), you can get a set made in your own colors of choice! Get it to match scaling that you already have for an av, or get a color that you have always wanted...

I also am putting 'gift' packages for sale up in the in world shop. Simply click as if to buy and peer at the contents. They are at a discounted price too, making them perfect for gifting.

And who knows? They might be some special surprise packages as well... So hit the subscriber in world, to get news and gifts.
