OK, so I got a little side-tracked

I had a friendly vampire customer come in, all hot to get a vinyl version of my toga. I thought "wow, that's a great idea", so I put Ashe on hold. Ashe is gonna take lots of custom sculpties, so I'm already feeling a little overwhelmed again. This toga was a fun break from that, even though it took me like 5 tries to get the textures just right. Ah well. If you missed the introductory sale, sorry! Add my store group and you'll get those notices! hint, hint...

Ashe from FF

Another Final Fantasy character has been requested. I never set out to be a designer of Final Fantasy characters for Second Life, but it seems that the Final Fantasy fans have found me and they keep wanting more! I have a hard time saying "no" (hold the snickering down please), so I guess "it's ON".

Ashe will hopefully be done by end of July. We'll see!

Edit:

I gave up on Ashe because the more it comes together, the less I liked it :(

If I get enough people begging for Ashe, I might still make it, but so far there were only 2 people who really expressed interest.

My most complicated outfit to date!

Why do I do this? I think it's a relentless persuit of perfection. The Gorean "Panther Girl" is a warrior that lives in the wild, is fiercely independent, strong, and sexy. I wanted to make an outfit that fully embodied every aspect of that, and would allow someone to step into that world with a single purchase. The design goal was to produce the best Panther outfit in SL. At least it is my favorite :)

This is the result - another 5 weeks of torturing prims and playing with scripts, getting everything to work. I worked with a few really helpful people, and I would like to thank them!

:) Gostosa Siamendes: For lots of ideas on what Panthers like in their outfits, and for feedback while I was making the outfit - Thanks so much!

:) Patrik Ling for help with the weapons scripts, thanks!

:) Kara Markova: For being a huge help with what matters when it comes to a Panther bow. I would have been clueless without you!

I'm hopeful that you love this outfit. I have to spend the next few months getting the (yes, fully functional) weapons to be approves by various sim owners (there are 1047 Gorean sims) before I get too many more variations out.

In the meantime, looks like the next project might be "Ashe" from Final Fantasy:

She'll take a while, but several people have asked about the outfit, and apparently it's not available in SL yet... I can't resist that type of opportunity!

Panther/Babarian Girl is coming...

This outfit will strive to be the best Panther outfit in SL, with so many features it'll blow you away!

So far: all prim outfit with bow, bow strapped to spine, extra arrows in thigh quiver/holster, fur bra, fur skirt with dagger, knife, rope, pouches, and a set of keys to get yourself unlocked from nasty traps :)

Most everything has some flexi dangling thing... a bow string, twine, rope ends, etc...

skirt with weapons is scripted to make the weapon disappear when you wear that weapon in your hand - great feature for roleplay (you'll be able to command the dagger, rope or knife to "draw" and "sheath")

Fur sandals and leggings with extra daggers in case you lose a dagger in some bad guy :)

Still to do: 

1. Script the weapons for damage (in talks with scripters), 
   
2. Make the bow "draw" and "sheath" or "stow" like the rope/dagger/knife,
3. Add beads and feathers to the current pieces
4. Make arm bands
5. Make clothing layers so I'm not nekkie if the prims don't rez soon enough or someone turns off prims to reduce their lag...

Speaking of lag, I'm trying to make the scripts as low lag as possible; and the ARC so far is still pretty low; I'm trying to keep the texture count down without sacrificing looks :)

Biker Babe makes a splash!

Reaching #28 on XStreetSL.com is no easy feat; and I'm very proud to say that I hope this is just the beginning of bigger things yet to come!  I'm working on a few new styles, based mostly on things people have asked for.  If you're dying to see something in SL that just doesn't exist - give me a call :)

This pic is by Voshie Paine, a great photographer and friend.  My friend Deep Schism says that the "Biker Babe" text is too small in the bottom left, but I was thinking "a whisper sometimes gets more attention than a scream."

What do you think of this pic?  Give us a shout out and tell me!

In the production queue:  Panther/barbarian girl, a wrap-around bathing suit, special prim mens shirt, formal gown, etc., etc. ... if you would like something, ask and I'll add it!

March MADNESS

OK, disclaimer: not sports related. This March Madness came in the form of the "Twisted Hunt", which brought about 6000 people into the store who had possibly never seen Wild Style Fashions before! :) So, I was madly trying to help people, do the hunt, and make some stuff for people to wear at the same time!

I managed to remodel the store too - since I thought it could use a face-lift after seeing all the other great stores in the hunt :)

Newly introduced since Paine were the Guayabera Shirt that I made by request for my good friend Deep Schism, and a re-do of the ladies' toga and a new sheer version of the toga.

I decided that it's time to retire my older stuff and make some new things to replace them as time permits. First thing to get permanent retirement is my St. Patrick's Day Shamrock undies sets. They were fun and a stretch for me when I made them last year, but it's time to say goodbye to them...

So, what's in the works, you ask? "OMG, You read my blog?" I reply. :) I'm trying to put together a wickedly sexy "Biker Babe" outfit. To be included in Biker Babe:
> My most daring undies yet
> Leather vest with lace-up sides with prim ties
> All-prim Leather skirt with built-in spikey belt (rip scripted to be undressed)
> Belted wrist wraps (should I put Lockmeister scripts in them?)
> maybe some cool armor bits made to look like "Mad Max"?
The other question: Boots, or no boots?
