The Guardian

This month has been an incredibly busy one, so I have been lacking on blogging as much as I really should have been. So to make up for it, I decided to style up and create a sexy fantasy look-- not very effective for combat really. That is unless I was in an MMO, then this would be some of the higher level armor, probably. Take a look at that headpiece though, it is the Demon Hido Horns from Aii, which includes unrigged mesh horns in 18 colors and unrigged feathers in 2 colors, both modify and excellent for a demon character or as decorative armor! I opted to use it with some gorgeous armor pieces from The Forge (which are also modify), and this jewelry set from Charm. Charm currently has her Runyan jewelry out for The Fantasy Gacha carnival, which has a headepiece (rare), a harness, armlets, earrings, and a belt (all commons) in 3 metal colors (gold, silver, copper) that can be won. As for the shoot, I decided to once again make my own pose, then go pose with a pretty golden tinted sword in a lovely forestry area.

Resonance

The PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015 has officially begun! With it, it has brought some truly beautiful designs and fantastic live fashion shows, entertainment, and events. I was given the complete honor to be an official blogger and I can say I am completely blown away with the gorgeous designs I was able to play with. Meva's Pipes set includes a necklace and a pair of earrings of stunning quality of the mesh model, texturing, and it's modify! The tones came off as coppery with a bit of gold to me, so I decided to style in an elegant but very sexy style. Zibska's Fiachra set had these shoulder pieces, with the right color combination, were the perfect golden feather accent (that is also acting as a top). For the skirt, I went with a floor length, high-waist one from Peqe, which features a lovely mermaid skirt and a peplum. For makeup I went with a very, very neutral lipstick and a smokey black eyeshadow from Zibska. As for posing, I again created my own pose for the exact body language I desired.

Valkyr De Noir

It's getting closer and closer to the 17th and I absolutely cannot wait for PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015! I was given the great honor to be one of the official bloggers and boy can I say I am blown away with the amazing creations I get to feature in my work. I mean, just look at this avant garde outfit from Du Jour and tell me it's not fierce and sexy! (This outfit will be featured in the PENUMBRA finale show.) This was so up my alley of style that my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on it. Du Jour's Valkyra Dress includes a rigged mesh harness top, rigged panties, rigged bracers, and rigged skirt all in standard sizing, as well as an unrigged headpiece and chest accessory. The unrigged pieces are no modify, but I personally found them rather easy to fit and position. I decided to style this outfit with a long, beautiful hair from Fiore as to channel a little characteristic of the ancient Nordic Valkyries. For accessories I went with tall, black leather boots, long black gloves, and this beautiful mesh facial piece from The Forge. As for makeup, I went with an eyeliner from Nuuna that has always reminded me of avians in its shape, as well as an eye stripe to incorporate shape of the top into the upper portion of the avatar. The finishing touch was some stylized, matte black nail polish and I was ready to shoot. Once again, I made my own pose because I could not find one that was similar enough to what I envisioned.

Entwining Corruption

"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too.

They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."

Zibska lately has been making darker oriented pieces that have been making my gothic little heart want to beat out of my chest. A while a go she posted an artpiece featuring these horns that had me excited for their release. Finally they were released along with a collar and spiked paldron set, and a stunning dress covered in branched and birds for the October round of We <3 Roleplay. Both Algar and Bjorg are unrigged, modifiable attachments with 30 stunning color options, controlled via HUD. I decided to use the collar from the Bjorg set with the Algar horns since it was too perfect of a fit. Since I've been delving into the darker parts of my mind  more often than not lately, I reflected it in my style, but I did keep my blonde hair as to break up all the darkness and give a lovely contrast to it. As for eyes however, most would think to go with red eyes, however I felt some piercing yellow eyes were a bit more unsettling for this look. I went with an extreme mesh liner from Glam Affair, smokey eyeshadow from Zibska, some 'warpaint' from Nuuna, and an accentuating lip line also from Zibska. As for further accessories, I tied it in with Zibska's Mallt hand tattoo with pointed nails and these delightfully painful arm piercings from CerberusXing. Is it apparent that I like the shade black and spikes yet?

Amicable Ascendance

With Azul's Mainstore Renewal, the amazing Mami Jewell has released 62 (yes, 62!) limited edition recolors of her designs and they are GORGEOUS. While they do not have appliers for the legacy clothing layers, they're still incredibly beautiful and high quality designs. The texture work at AZUL is hand painted artistry! I chose to play with the limited edition recolor of their Alicia dress in pearl. It's a gorgeous white dress with accents of pink and violet in the flexi-skirt. I decided to keep my styling simple, as not to detract from the beauty of the gown. I went with a blindfold (and doves) from Zibska for the symbolism of peace, a lovely ribbon necklace from Junbug, and a drop pendant from Maxi Gossamer that had the perfect shade of pink to pull the color upwards from the skirt. For makeup, I kept it simple since part of my face was covered. I used my favorite lipgloss from Zibska and some subtle tears from Soedara to add a sense of delicate emotion. As for posing, once again I created my own pose to compliment the look and allow me to float among the clouds.
