Starlight Revisited

Some of you may remember my old Starlight skins from days of yore.  Next to the Retro Pinup skins, these were some of the most popular skins I’ve ever made.  I was a little sad to retire them because I just adored the makeup on them so much, it’s one of my favorites!  But I was super unhappy with the bodies I had butchered back then so they got the chop.  Well after a few requests to bring them back, I decided it was time to revist them so they’ve been revamped in a few new color schemes and all on the latest bodies.  So without further ado… here’s the new skins in Peach.. click over to my Flickr page to see the other skin tones. ^^

Halloween Hunt!

I’m having a small dollarbie Halloween Hunt in the shop now until October 31st!  There are 9 skins to be found as well as a Pumpkin orange version of my Falling Stars corset dress!  Happy Halloween!

*whispers…. clothes*

Oh yeah.. something else.. you may have noticed that there’s some clothing for sale now in my shop.  I didn’t want to make a fuss about them because honestly, I did them more for me than with a sales goal in mind.  I’m kind of testing the waters with these to see if it’s something I’ll continue to pursue in the future.

Here’s the TL;DR portion of this blog entry…

For the record, I did use parts of templates for Maggie and bits of Leaves, but Falling Stars is my own design (you might recognize the oft recycled corset piercing lol).  I know templates are and continue to be highly looked down on.. there seems to be a real negative view on them.  Despite that, I went ahead and used them.  I’ve already dealt with the flack on this and undoubtedly I’ll continue to catch flack, but I’m just getting started and these templates have done wonders for allowing me to see just how to work seams and tweak things to work.  Of course, I’ll not stop working on moving away from templates all together.. I consider them a stepping stone and I’m not ashamed in using them as such.  I wish I didn’t have to justify myself but there are some really harsh critics out there and I felt it better to explain myself now than have to deal with onslaught later on.  So there you have it.  And I’d like to hear some feedback.  If you’d like a review copy, please don’t hesitate to ask and on the same token, don’t feel obligated to feature these things at all.  But if there’s any kind of feeling that something just doesn’t meet standards, I’d really like to hear them so I can continue to improve.  Thanks for reading this long winded little statement, but I hope that clears up a few questions.

Decay Skins

Decay Skins are out!  You can find them in the creepy skins room in the back of the store.  Yay!  Also, each pack actually contains 2 skins, a decayed body version and a clean body version.  I threw in the clean body at the last minute in case you want to add your own gore layers. Check them out!  I’m planning on eventually lumping them all together in fat packs after Halloween so if you want them in single skin tone packs, head out there soon!

Not Dead Yet

Just mostly dead….

It’s funny, I’m an absolute wimp when it comes to scary or gory things. I can’t watch horror movies and I refuse to go to haunted houses or do anything where I might have the dickens scared out of me. But, I’m oddly fascinated with making creepy stuff in SL. I’m weird.  Anyhoo, for all your zombie needs, I’ve got some gross skins coming out soon just for you! Also on tap, I’m hoping to do a wee Halloween Hunt like the one I did for Easter, so keep on the look out for that. ^^

Neko Skins

Neko skins are out!  At the last minute I had removed them during the great purging with the full intent to remake them but I have poor time management skills so it took a little longer than I had anticipated.  At any rate, they are available now in all 4 skin tones this time!  There are two styles, Tiger and Leopard and each style has two makeups included, smokey dark eyes and nude eyes and you also get two body styles, marked and unmarked.  I’ve also expanded into eyes again and made some Feline eyes to go with the skins.  Wearable demos are available for both and there’s a special L$ 10 skin out there as well.  So there you have it!

Demonology Hunt

Just a little teaser of my Demonology Hunt gift!  I don’t usually do a lot of hunts, either I’m not invited to participate or I just don’t have the time to do so, but this one sounded up my alley and kinda different so yay!  The hunt starts on September 1st and goes until September 15th.

New Stuff!

Phew, I had to rush to open because I’m going through some stuff RL and I don’t know how my free time is going to play out so I figured better now than not at all lol.  And to answer a few questions that haven’t been asked, if the skin you are looking for isn’t in the store it’s gone forever and no longer available for purchase.  I promised to purge and I finally followed through!  It was like ripping off a band aid, it hurt pretty bad at first but now I’m over it.   But, several old styles are being revamped, namely the Starlight skins, the Retro Pinup skins and the Neko skins.  I want to specifically touch on the Neko skins because they were pretty popular, these aren’t gone forever, I promise!  And when I finally finish them they’ll be available in all four skin tones this time.  Anyways, I’m pretty excited about the new stuff coming down the pipeline and hopefully everyone will find something new they like.

Until next time!!

Oh yeah, there’s a new lucky board skin!

New Stuff Part 3 – Baroque Skins

These are pretty self explanatory, lots of makeup!  Comes in freckled and non freckled versions (freckled versions have freckled bodies as well) and in colored and nude lips.  And these are probably my favorite skins ever. There’s also a dollarbie wearable demo of Gigue.

Shown in Peach but available in all 4 skin tones (other skin tones can be seen on my Flickr Page)

New Stuff Part 2 – Drow

I promised to remake the Drow and here they are! Each skin comes with a more subdued makeup as qas requested by quite a few people who wanted a slightly more day to day wearable Drow.   Also, there’s a wearable demo with green makeup available for L$ 1.
