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.

The Shield Maiden

"You couldn't kill me if you tried for a hundred years."

I have quite possibly been watching a bit too much of the show Vikings in what free time I have these days. It worked out well because Aii had released this hair that reminded me of Lagertha, in which I took the idea and ran with it. Piecing the outfit together was definitely easy, since I already had most of the components. Thresh was released for the men's even, The Arena. It is a modifiable, rigged mesh hair that comes with both a male and a female version, as well as a version with silver or gold hooks. I thought finding an outfit would be harder than it was, but it turns out Meli Imako had one that was pretty spot on-- and it's full permissions. Personally I don't plan on using it for creations, but if you want an accurately shaped shield maiden set for your creations, definitely consider this one. SciLab happened to have this lovely high quality mesh broadsword, which was pretty close to what I was looking for. It includes two versions, one for their combat system and one unscripted, modifiable version for photographers. The shield however was non-existent from what I could find, so I made it for myself out of prims. It's not the fanciest, but it got the job done; if you want a copy, just poke me in world and I'll give it to you for free. So after donning my war paint and my favorite Mjolnir, I set out for a photoshoot of my take on Lagertha.
