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!
