Back, and caught in the act

I'm back to sl, and tho I have already gotten the blogging bug for the other few blogs I post on, I hadn't had enough of it to come back to the fringe yet. I finally got enough creating in that I could spend the quality time needed for this blog.

I'm so glad to be back, and I hope you enjoy what is to come =)

Fringe Society-May 24th-1

This is my very first pic ever with shadow. It is far from the best out there, I know, but I am still very proud. I learned a lot doing this shoot. Like get your poses ready, because shifting through those while having shadows and everything on is not fun!

I could not resist trying to find myself a cemetery to pose in, or well near. I didn't manage to get in there, there was werewolves about!

The Location is part of a massive system of sims under the Lost City of Angels roleplay group. I use to RP on a sim with the same name, way back before I was a designer. I do not know if it is the same people, as that sim died due to lack of funding, or if this is a fanmade set of sims(there are so many!). Some of the things are very familiar, like wording, and ideas.

Lost City of Angels was the very first Dark Roleplay sim. It was in a winter setting, which was just lovely. They also welcomed demons, and not your typical demons, but also demons like me! They had a blast with my character. I could never do combat, my computer at the time was BAWLS! but I could RP like a bugger, so often got brought into the mix as a sort of scary referee. They let me eat whoever ran away, it was good times. I grew 8 pixel inches in those 6 months. I also ended up with spawn, what demon could ask for more?

I love LOVE this tongue. This and the tattoo I'm wearing is what I based the whole outfit around. All my scripted demony tongues seem to have gone on the fritz. Not sure if scripting in sl changed drastically while I was gone, or what.

The eyes are new from my very favoritest eye goddess, Ruina. There are soooo many colours, and you know me with colours. If you are a eye whore like me, you will also enjoy the scalera colouring.

The skin is a gift from Hush. I went to the bloggers preview of the Skin Addiction event, which starts today. If you are a part of the group, you get this skin for free when you visit Hush's stall. Just wear your tag! The original makeup(I was a bad blogger and didn't take a sans makeup layer pic) is a lovely cateye lined look, with a nude lip that has a nice layer of gloss. The additional makeup layer is what created the double lined look.

The makeup is from an old fav stop of mine, Glamorize. There is a message in the creators profile that you just have to read. I agree with it wholeheartedly. I tinted this too, so my lips could be a nice cinnamon shade.
.
Fringe Society-May 24th-3
.
I bought this tattoo at a Zombie Suicide. They are having this MASSIVE sale. 60% off or more on everything in the store. I love how vibrant it is, and the seam transition is well done.

I just had to see if one of my fav rock stores was still around, and it is! Strayer has some lovely colour combos, most of the items are for dudes, but that is okay, the dudes need stuffs.
.
Fringe Society-May 24th-4
.
I bought this for myself at Fantasy Faire, tho it is instore now, from Material Squirrel. I really wanted it for my petite, since it came in both sizes. Obviously I was going to enjoy it on my biggie too! This is the black version, I tinted it to better match my horns. The tinting is sort of funky, as the mesh texture is more of a greyscale. You will just have to play with your own when you get it.

I am a part of a few different bloggers groups inworld, and the one we get review copies of stuffs in. I actually send packages out in that one myself, and am not obligated to blog anything, but these pants were instant love. I just thought they were the perfect solution for someone who sprouts tail often. Sure, half your ass is hanging out, but I've seen worse things inworld. The only trick was to find the perfect mature sim to shoot in, haha!
.
Fringe Society-May 24th-5

I just wanted to show of these lovely horns a bit better. You can't get *THIS* exact colour, it is a special edition, but there are other lovely shades. Many MANY a colour for your matchy matchy needs!

These are classically shaped, and worked with many of my hair styles, so I'm sure they will work with many of those out on the grid too!
.
Fringe Society-May 24th-6

The jewelry is a bit of a mashup. This is how I roll IRL. I pick elements of the outfit and wear matching things. Now not all elements are meant to work with each other specifically, just to work with the other main pieces. Like here, my right bracelet goes with my uggs, my left bracelet goes with my horns and nails, my nails goes with the pattern on my uggs, the necklace(not shown here) goes with the right bracelet, and the bellychain, well I just threw that on for funsies. People might look at it and think I'm a disaster, but there is a method.

Keeps me from looking like a barbie. Goddess forbid!

*does some sort of sloppy looking religious gesturing over her chest*

Fringe Society-May 24th-7


UGGS! I bought these sooooo long ago, but I love them! Who wouldn't want pirate ships on their feet? You iz crazy if you don't. Makes me want to make crazy stringery rainboots . . . Hmmmm.

Look of the Day-Life saved for a rainy day


Save a life, wear a mushroom.


I have a few random friends, that people wonder how I meet.

They tend to be very talented, in a variety of ways.

They are the kind that don't mind if you don't hear from each other in months.

They always have something to show me, have me read, or let me listen to.

Carn Fall is one of these select few. Energetic, enthusiastic, and talented in his own right.

Now as a hair deisgner, there are very few times you wont see me in my own hair. But this items doesn't have need for hair, it's all you really need on you head. Carn made 4 Super Mario inspired mushroom hats(and maybe a few more on the way). When asked what colour I wanted it was a no brainer. GREEN!

Carn will have these in his shop(soon to be opened) and on Xstreet for sure. Till then I get to tease you all.

***Update---> Carn now has these both inworld at The ModShop and on Xstreet(link in credits)***

XP


Yes yes, that is a bit of flashy colour there on my knee. I sort of got reckless, counting on the fact I got my nice One Up. Doesn't prevent injury from stupidity.


You know how many shades of green shoes I have in inventory? Cookie for the right guess!

Wearing:

Skin- {Frick} - Noir Smudged in Goth
Hat-The ModShop- 1+ Hat(to be released)
Eyes-Tuli- Gem eyes in Emerald
Swimsuit-Scribble- Vintage Swimmer's Suit in Green
Bandaids-Reek- I heart Bandaid kit
Sneakers-Urban Bomb Unit- Pornstar Hi-tops Multicolour V2(scripted with many options)

On location shot done HERE!

***Special Thanks to the person that helped me with the Mario-like background!***

Look of the Day-New Discoveries

*Special Note~Yes it is me! I am back!*



Today I went forth and searched for a new eye god/goddess to worship. During my search and a mad list of events(which I'll tell you more about in an upcoming post), I ended up in contact with Designer Dame Hallow of ~{ Into the Hollow}~.


Her store is much like how mine was in the beginning, a mashup of this and that all made for personal purposes, or for the sake of creating, and set up to share with those who might just enjoy them too.


I picked up the above peasant top with underbust. I love Green. GREEN GREEN GREEN . . . ANYTHING. The underbust has a wonderful texture in behind a dragonfly window. Dame also sells some textures at her store, in a similar theme as the one used in this piece.


As you might have already been able to tell if you have been following this blog, I love eyes. EYES EYES EYES . . . in all colours . . . but pink. You will find these as a gift in Dame's store. The box has both dark and light versions in 2 different colours, the other not shown being a more antiqued tone.


A lil something I picked up last week. Will be trying to wear more jewelry in the near future.


On to the feet. I collect those odd colours, that I never totally know if I'll have a use for, but get anyways cause the colour is just off enough to make me feel up for the challenge. Went perfect for this look.

Wearing:

Skin- {Frick} -Sophia in Noir
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Ruina V2 in Darkness
Eyes- { Into the Hollow} -This Broken Lense Eye in Silent/Dark
Eyelashes-Cybernetics-Prim Lashes L3 B1
Horns-House of Ruin-The Dauphin Horns in Silver ridged
Necklace-Haus of Darcy -Fallen Necklace
Top- { Into the Hollow} -Lepidoptera Ladies Underbust
Skirt/Kneehighs/Gloves-Firefall-All from the Marquise Dress
Boots-Pixel Mode-Brat Boots in Green

Jewelry Feature-PRETURB/ation

I'm not one to wear jewelry often. It tends to get in the way when I'm making hair, and often times I'm making hair!

I got this awesome crown from a hunt, never used it for anything, then low and behold, saw the matching necklace and bracelets!


Way more girly then what I would typically wear in SL, this is something I so would grab in RL, or even make. I like odd organic shapes things.

PRETURB/ation happens to be one of my favorite stores, if I am going to buy anything that is a jewelry piece. The quality is some of the best on the grid.

You can get the Tommelise set for L$100 inworld at PRETURB/ation

*Added Note*

Totally forgot to add in that the background texture was made by MiaSnow. She has a bunch on her stream for free use, as long as you give credit back to her. They aren't for commercial use, but are perfectly sized for blogging.

Helena's Skin Picks-All Winter's Fault

Tribal Island Skin-Goth Edition

Winter did this lovely post a bit ago on this fabulous skin designer. Well after seeing all the screen shots and slobbering for a bit, I went out to see what was there at Terra's Bodyart for a demon like me.

Full Frontal View

Well, I got there, and wanted the whole darn store, but to start my collection, I got this beauty to show you all. It's called Tribal Island, and it's in the goth tone.

Back View

The tattoos on this thing are beyond anything I have yet to see in sl, and I'm super happy about the full head tat. As you all should know I'm a mohawk freak, and well Viewer 2.0 *just* came out, so I still love all my tatted skins.


Leg View

Close Up

I'm even going to be a bit horrid, and give you some armpitty. Just want to show you the seams. You may not know anything about making skins, but the Body template for our avatars is horrid, and there is only like 8 spaces in that area to play with, so it tends to be hard to get anything to not smear and line up right. All in all this is near perfect, and I'd kiss my furless digital armpits if I could. Just not in a french way. XP

Visit Terra's Bodyart

Other things worn:

Eyes-House of Ruin-Felid in Burgundy
Eyelashes-Store no longer exists
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Pencil in Snow
Horns-House of Ruin-Reaper Horns-Not yet Released
Dress-Store no longer exists
Nipple Tape-Snatch-In various outfits

Poses used in Helena's Posts

I LOVE FLICKR!

I really do.

I saw this post this morning, and it's not the first time this sort of thing has been brought up. Dove from [LAP] even made a free bloggers package for both boys and girls, the only stipulation was that you did in fact credit the Poses in your posts. I then saw this from Plastic Swords, Pose Designer of the store Dismorph.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/welcometovipercity/4489618838/

I can admit that I have never credited poses, unless I've specifically reviewed them for the post itself.

So tho I don't intend to credit every pose, for me it's be way too hard to keep track, I do over 50 shots per post using different angles on different poses. Trying to remember if that was in fact the "City Girl version 87" or if it was 78? is just too much for me. I'm not making excuses. Simply saying how it is and will be.

What I am willing to do for you all is credit the Designers/Stores themselves here, in one post. As I use the same stores over and over, but have 100's of poses from their collections, it'll be way easier for me, with the type of blogging I do.

*Please note, you'll have to use the search function to find the stores inworld. This way I don't have to post and keep updated slurls.*

Most Commonly Used:

Dove Swanson of the Pose Store [LAP]
Karla Scorbal of the Pose Store KS2Cool

Sometimes Use:

Toko Voom of the Pose Store Vain
Kaethe Dyrssen of the Pose Store Leafy
moddishh GossipGirl of Modd.G(Clothing designer that does occational poses)
Cicciuzzo Gausman of Pose Store MrG(Clothing Designer with a pose side project)

Bring some Hornyness to you Life


A good old classic look to a demon is that hellfire red. But you still want to be an individual, even while entering your lesser known side of fantasy right?

Well I found this nice little shop, right now they are only on XStreet, but maybe we can coax them into getting a shop inworld. The Store name is just as fun as the products, Mad Catter.

Dalthor Horns

Not many designers that deal in making demon parts like to do horns that stick more outwards sideways. I'm not really sure as to why, as it gives a more strong presence. The style is particularly nice for males, but works with female and is easy to wear with most hair types, from updos to mohawks, as seen here.

Back View

Dalthor Tail

The Set comes with a matching tail of the same style, that had some flexi to it, but isn't obnoxious.

Detail View

The set does have a slight glow to it, which is a nice change from all the shiney and raver bright sets you can come across in travels.

Arachna Horns&Tail

This set is right up my ally. You can't see it, but there are spiders webs hanging off this set. The tail is a bit whipy, and tho there is less flashy bits on this one as the last, the craftsmanship is still there.

Witcher Wolf Mask

Now normally this would not have been something I'd ever get, not really a mask person in sl, unless it's for an even. But it just looked so odd and intriguing, I had to nab it up to show you guys. Made totally of regular tortured prims. Could be a wicked battle piece to wear while roleplaying.

Visit the Mad catter Store on XStreet

Other things worn:

Skin-The Stringer Mausoleum-Aine Mermaid Skin in Poisonfish
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Allegory in Tango
Eyes-House of Ruin-Hell-ena Eyes in Guaricana(Base is Sans, the one prim eye is in Slit Version) Outfit-Nomine-DarkMajik fishnet mesh set
Boots-Snatch-Steams Latex Boots
