There’s not a soul to hear – Fantasy Faire Part V

Heya peeps!

Today something for the guys. :) The following pictures have been taken at Kaelus, a gorean role-play sim. ELves are NOT allowed. I got special permission to take a blogpicture, but usually, that is a big NO NO. ;)

Tunic: FATEWear (Damien Fate, NEW!! Mesh!! @ Fantasy Faire, Titans Hollow Sim)

The FATEWeaR Outfit comes in two versions: WIth or without a cloak, an din the usual 5 standardsizes. However, it comes as a whole outfit, all in one piece: BOots, gauntlets, tunic, pants. The outfit is AWESOME, but I like to mix and match, and so I cheated:

I selected the item IN my inventory, clicked on edit, then selected the face on my outfit I wanted to texture and dragged an alphalayer on it. This way, I am hiding my pants, boots, cloak and gauntlets. ^^

Pants: The Forge (Deccan Arida, Mesh!! Part of Brandon Outfit)
Boots: Lightstar (Krystal Silverweb)

Dwarfins coming home! – Fantasy Faire Part IV

Heya!

So, I have a strange fascination for breedables in SL. I used to be totally into KittyCats. I don’t even know why I dropped it, well, duh, I do know! Because I lacked the time to keep track of them all the time. I think in my case it is mainly the theorycrafting that gets me. :D

So, a while ago I stumbled upon something that freaked me out at first: Dwarfins. Breedables dwarves. Breedable humanoids. At first I thought it was creepy, but you know…it is freaking cute. THe little dwarfins are really cute, wellmade. They have certain traits that can be common or rare and depending on how you breed them, those traits get passed on from generation to generation. They got different haircolours and -styles, weapons, clothes, eyecolours etc.

The pricing is very reasonable imho, both for the dwarfins starterpacks as well as the food. They also can interact through interactive items such as a barrel for ale (hahaha :D ), or fireplaces and many more. The furniture is REALLY cute. Also, they do not only come as breedables, but as wearable avatars (see second and third pictures!), too. I am the female avi in those pics. Am I not hot? :D

Horny dwarfins!

However, watch out! Them dwarfins are horny! If you do not turn off the breeding option through the menu (via clicking on the dwarfins) and you happen to be offline for a couple of weeks, you will come home to a GIANT family of dwarfins. :P Happened to me, though luckily the baby dwarfins stay in their stone-’eggs’ until you birth them.

Dwarfins at the Fantasy Faire 2013

Darfins has a big store at the Fantasy Faire 2013, located in the Lumenaria sim. The dwarfins you see displayed here have been made especially for the faire and come in cute little wizards outfits. Even the food, mushrooms in a bowl, is special. :D Dwarfins also offer them as avatars, alongside with an interactive Magic Book and an interactive Andronicus Stone. As a bonus, the newly released Rinn and Rorek Rockbeard dwarfins are available as avatars for those who could not win the breedable versions at the auction. All of these items are really wellmade. :)

In the picture ALL furniture besides the bear rugs, the barrel to the right and the little bowl on the table are made by Anke Hatchuk and her team (Kalia Firelyte and Codereth1200 Nemeth) for Dysfunctional Designs who have a stall at the Fantasy Faire at The DragonSpire Sim. I really love her furniture and deco-items, my entire parcel is stuffed with it! It is handdrawn, original mesh and comes at very reasonable prices, so definitely worth to check it out. They had 14 (!!!) new releases for the faire, which I think speaks of a LOT of effort they put into it.

The bear rugs are made by Tia Biscuit for TIA, another store that I am incredibly fond of. Her textures and meshwork is plain awesome. :) The small bowl and the barrel are items for the dwarfins. :) The shack itself is a meshbuilding made by Nash Sauber for Absent Designs and a new release.

Blog197PS_2

In this picture you see more of Dysfunctional’s new releases at the faire: The dresser and towel-shelf to the right. The bed is made by TIA and the pictureframe comes from a store that is -about- to open: AISLING by Druunah Esharham and her team. Stay tuned for that one! I am amazed by the quality they offer and already had a chance to take a peek at some upcoming items.  On the left you can see more items by Anke’s team and the pillow on the ground is actually a freebie made by them. :)

So, Dysfunctional Designs, TIA and Aisling are definitely three of my favourite creators for rustic furniture in SecondLife. Envisage Limitless would be the fourth, but I#ll wait for her newest release before I blog them! :)

Here a look at Absent Designs’ shack in my parcel, with me as a sexy dwarfin with Elikatira’s hair in front of it:

Update about Flecha Warwillow

Hello peeps,

After a long talk with Flecha Warillow, I will state this:

I have absolutely NO worries about ‘losing’ face by a possible error. Instead of using the word ‘ripped’ I should have marked them as “almost exact, sculpted copies” from the PC game called Skyrim. I hereby apology for that and the error in the post has been corrected.

I will post the pictures of the weapons and let people decide if I lied knowingly, which more than certainly was not my intention, or merely let my eyes judge.

Here is a picture of his current sculpted weapon (a freebie called “The Lies of the Blogging Elf” hehe), no credits given, however the original modder from Nexusmods allows the unlimited use of these:

Flechas Weapon

This is the original:

Here Flecha shows how he does it:

Flecha’s Video about making the sword.

This is one of the weapons from the pack that made me post this, maybe too quickly:

Daedric Battleaxe

Original:

Daedric Battleaxe, Skyrim

I will let you guys decide if my post was purposefully meant to be malicious or just me being too superficial in my investigations.

Here a statement from Flecha Warwillow himself (note that sharing IMs outside of Secondlife is absolutely allowed as per TOS, also note that Flecha is not a native speaker and likely slightly raging, so don’t mind his mistakes):

[04:43] Flecha Warwillow: i dont altering textures
[04:43] Flecha Warwillow: I MAKE MY OWN TEXTURES
[04:44] Flecha Warwillow: i see te original so i need to build as close as original

Boo-Boo-what?? BOOSHIES!

Hey there!

So, I was assigned to some designers at the Fantasy Faire and here comes my post. It is -not- necessarily role-play related, but some fun stuff is there regardless.

First of all, there is Booshies. “What on earth are Booshies?” was the first thing I asked myself. Well, they are breedables. NEW Breedables, making their debut at teh Fantasy Faire.

And I am addicted to Kitty Cats already, thanks to Miss Elle Couerblanc who got me terribly hooked. Damn you! :P BUT! Booshies are not ONLY breedables. In fact, they are a bit like a crazily creative mixture of your typical SL breedables and…pokemons. Yes, you read that right. Pokemons. They look unbearably cute and funky. They can fight, they have stats, items and you can experience adventures with them. Basically, I imagine them like a tiny MMO within SL. According to the creators, there will be an advances social aspect and a whole new Booshies Economy.

So, what can I do with my Booshies?

So, with Booshies you can:

1. Explore Booshtopia and find adventures.
2. Battle monsters with your Booshies.
3. Experiences an advanced social aspect.
4. Experience a more indepth economy.
5. Trade your Booshies or sell them.
6. Sell or trade your weapons/items/crafts.
7. Breed for stats, species, skins etc.
8. Buy items/fodo from characters you find during the game.
9. and much more!

The creators make most of their money from the starter kits as later on you will have the choice to either farm your food…or buy it. Seems pretty fair to me, if a little time consuming, hence why it reminds me of certain MMOs a lot. But I do believe that this is an awesome concept.

Below, you can find three pictures of my favourite Booshies so far. :)

So go check them out! :) Here is your Taxi!

Please reconcile the violence in my heart.
