You are not as brave as you were at the start

Heya peeps!

So, today a guy’s post. May I introduce Vanquish to you? He’s a friend of mine (this is one of his 1 Million of alts) and has the ability to create really cool avatars. Imho, he is the living proof that there is in fact enough cool stuff out there for guys to come up with awesome outfits pretty regularly. He’s damned good at mixing and matching and has a great eye for details. However, he sucks at finding poses, vain man that he is it took him ages!

Run girl run! This world is not made for you!

Heya!

Time for more elfy stuff, wearable by humans and other kinds, too! Soedara released an awesome meshoutfit called Clan Maiden. It comes in a bunch of colours and you can wear it in many, many variations, so it is pretty damned perfect for mixing and matching. In my outfit, I feature the mainpart, which basically works like a small leatherdress of sorts.

LeLutka released new hair, a cute bob-style among them, but the other two did disappoint me a little. Imho they cannot keep up with the usually impeccable creativity Thora offers us: The updo has two strands hanging on the side of the face which looks good from the front, but looks utterly disconnected from the rest of the hair from the side. I am not sure why she did not add a couple of more strands there to cover up that odd gap, but oh well, maybe just not my taste.  The other hair is kinda okay, I got it even, until I figured it looks rather bland to be very honest.

However, complaining about LeLutka is complaining on a  VERY high level, so I am relatively sure not everybody will agree and the majority will storm there and buy everything anyways. I mean, I have pretty much her store in my inventory by now. ;D

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.

Hair: Wasabi Pills (MissAllSunday Lemon, NEW!!, Mesh!! @ Fantasy Faire –> Magnificat Sim)
Skin: The Body Co (TheBodyCo Resident)
Shape: selfmade
Ears: Illusions (Siyu Suen, Mesh!! @ Fantasy Faire –> Evensong Woods Sim)
Eyes: Umedama (umetaro Mayo)
Scars: proximity (Severus Koskinen)
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)
Armor: The Forge (Deccan Arida, Mesh!! Part of Brandon Outfit)
Gauntlets: Deco (Orchid Zenovka)
Necklace: Pididdle (Brutus Martinek)
Bow: CentipedeWeapons (Kendra Zaurak, Mesh!!)

Sometimes I wonder if you are made from bones and skin

Hello peeps,

I’ve been holding this post back for some time, but here it is: City of Rasenna opens today! You might experience a little surprise when you go to the sim. It is very lovely, I was hanging there for quite some time whele Eve Cartier was still fiddling with some last prims.

Please keep in mind: This is a GOREAN sim. Horns, elves and such are NOT allowed. I got a special preview before the sim was ready to open. So, bear this in mind when you go to visit.

Also, Tera Varriale, Ost Clawtooth and I have been working on a new shopping project lately, which is why I didn’t manage to dish out another post yet, even if I already have two outfits ready again. I was neckdeep in work. . It is still sort of a secret, but stay tuned for more infos to come soon. If you are a blogger and very curious about rp and shopping, feel free to shoot either of us an IM.

<3 Arica

I survive by the memory…of you.

Hello peeps!

So, where was I? Mostly, in bed. The past weeks were odd for me and finally I got my bum up and went ot the doc, turns out I have a dysfunctional thyroid which caused me to be tired and feel sick all the time. I could sleep 18 hours in a  row at times and still felt as if it were possibly 2-3 hours at most. Well, with the new pills this should hopefully stop now and I’ll be able to spend some more time blogging again. My apologies if blogging is going slow, but an extremely busy rl + this stupid stuff really kept me distracted.

Please forgive that in my following post I won’t post every single (make up/skin-) layer I use. I have gotten a bit tired of meeting almost exact copies of my avatar ingame. While I can see how people might just want the same look, I never considered this blog being a guide about “How to copy every single bit of an avatar” but it is more meant to be inspirational. Especially now, that I finally got my absolutely perfect skin for my elf (I really do love the new Laqroki skin, but it just looked TOO innocent for my elf), I’d like that look to stay unique for a while, though I don’t doubt some of you people will figure out what I did anyways.

By the way, not fan of this new wordpress layout. Hmph. Never change a running system, damnit!

Autumn hits the grid and I love it! :)

Hello peeps,

I finally got my new comp and of course now I tooka pic of my current favourite outfit. Autumn hit Germany, so I decided to go with very autumnliek colours as well. I love them! I also decided to not go with the newest of the newest items possible, but also mix some of my alltime favourites to create a very…scoundrel-like outfit. I just love any kinds of adventuring elves.

Also, you might notice that I managed to get rid of that slightly yellowish tint of the Body Co skin. How? Arriah Fiertze from Medley released a SKIN DETONER which works just fantastically. I LOVE it. It makes so many skins (like old ones from Pink Fuel, Laqroki, the new Vive9 skin etc.) look so much better without that sickly yellow tint. Many, many thanks to you, Arriah.

Also, stay tuned for the new LAQROKI skinline,s they are about to be released. I saw some previews and they are…MWAH!

I don’t know what you are looking for

I haven’t been super-inspired lately. For some reason I get the feeling that more and more of SL fashion is being overwhelmed with allllll the same stuff all over the place. I am not sure if I can only blame the templates, or generally US, the users, too. There are however a few notable exceptions.

Also, I switched back to my Orchid skin for good now, mixing it with a soft, naural lipstick from MOCK. I never liked the dry looking lips on Orchid at all, but the overall skin is just so nice and I got tired of my League skin (despite it being pretty!) for now. What do you think? :O Thoughts? I am still waiting for Laqroki’s new line…grrr!
