Winter's Wind

So I may be on vacation but its FINALLY getting chilly out where I am and thus I had to play with some of the fun wintry things that got my attention recently. And thus the winds of winter whipping through my hair and causing a blog post.

Get To The Pointe

So most of the reason it has taken me all month to get this post done is because I was moving. Every weekend has included moving activities from packing, to physically moving, to cleaning up the old place so we didn't lose the deposit and the weekdays in between working and settling in. But I'm finally all moved and had the time to finish up the pose and picture taking so I can finally fully show off my latest twist of my imagination.

I may have gotten a wild Kaylith-like hair up my butt, but I still have to say I enjoyed creating this look. The shoes started me down this path and the headdress just kind of carried me over the edge.

I'm Late

I've been running around like a mad person since the holidays and something tells me it may not end as soon as I was hoping. So, I will let this blog post sum up half my sentiments and leave you with a quote from a certain white rabbit before I let the picture speak for itself...

"I'm Late!"

Between The Lines

I think it's safe to say every gothling has a soft spot for stripes, or at least I do, especially vertical stripes. Zibska released her Alise dress for the PENUMBRA AWFW 2015, and it made me positively scream in excitement! Alise is a floor-length rigged mesh gown in standard sizing, including an unrigged headpiece and bustle. I of course went with dark, beautiful makeup also from Zibska. For accessories, I went with this beautiful mesh necklace from Meva (which is high quality mesh, beautifully textured, detailed, and modify), a ribbon choker, and my favorite little birdie ring from Zibska. I very much like to keep my accessorizing more on the simple side, so that they eyes can easily travel over the entire photograph and see the beautiful details of the creations I am honored to showcase in my artwork. As for posing, yet again I created my own pose to capture what I envisioned.

I really cannot stress it enough that there are some seriously cool designs and creations out for the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015! If you haven't stopped by the retail area for some  shopping, you really need to. Seriously,

Once Fallen

I've been in a mood lately, not a very pleasant one, but a rather dark one. With it though, comes art. This is my portrayal of a fallen angel, cast from the heavens and down upon rocks within the sea; she lays therein the cold ocean waters, gazing upward.
This look started with a messy, smeared Visitante makeup from Zibska, which comes with two colors (black, red), eye makeup, lip makeup with two versions, eyes with four versions and appliers for TMP and LeLutka. I put it over some smokey black eyeshadow and dark lipstick, and put on my favorite hand tattoo also from Zibska. Hair and wings came together quickly when I laid my eyes upon these wings from Material Squirrel. I liked them so much I was parading around with two pairs and an editorial hair on! For clothing though, I spend hours searching for the right body wrap that was dark, sexy, and shadowy. It wasn't until I realized AZUL had exactly what I was looking for. I wore the Anais silks in Onyx, minus the bright beautiful flowers and flexi-skirt. It's sheer, incredibly sexy, and perfect for a fallen angel. To finish it off I chose this statement necklace from Finesmith, since it reminded me of wings in its shape and had a bit of an armor feel to it. For posing, I absolutely had to create my own pose, since there was nothing that would come close to doing justice for what I envisioned.

Emergence

Time for my little bit of tradition. As I have the past three years I joined in on the fun that is the Fallen God and Goddess Election that Fallen Gods puts on every year about this time to celebrate their time spent in SL. Today kicks off the week long festivities and voting just opened in the election. And even more along the lines of tradition Kaylith took her sweet time helping me make what was an idea in my head and a rather simple photograph transform into a beautiful masterpiece to call goddess worthy. So I have to let the picture do some of the talking...

But back to pimping the election. Please go check out all the wonderful photos the Fallen Gods community has created to celebrate this awesome store that is a pillar of the role-play community her in SL. Vote for your favorites, *cough*mine*cough*, and check out the Eternal Market, watch the Melee Tournament, and run your way through the Eternal Hunt. There are prizes, deals, and steals galore all waiting for you to come socialize and claim.

Coma Black

"We were too dumb to run, too dead to die."

Every time I turn around, Zibska make something new that I completely love. This time, Zib created these monotone Aphra eyes (24 patterns via HUD) that instantly made me say, "I think it's about time I do another Marilyn Manson style post." So while listening to his older music, a flurry of flying clothes, and some time later I emerged with a look that draws inspirations from his 90's era. Black leather, fishnet, long gloves (my favorite long leather gloves), and a drawn silver grill were my choices and I think they went together quite well. The mesh corset top form Zibska, Belinde, comes with 20 colors and the booted leggings also from Zibska come with 30 colors, both controllable via HUD.  For the makeup, I used one of Zibska's newest lipsticks plus some of her older eyeshadow, and my favorite black eyeliner from cStar. As for posing, there is literally no good Mason-esque poses for females, so I made my own. An expression HUD and a little photo manipulation later, I had the perfect unsettling grin that pays patronage to the shock rocker himself.

The Path

"There is no turning back from this unending path of mine."

It's about time I gave my male avatar a makeover. A good friend of mine pointed me to his favorite skin shop and I found a skin that I instantly loved, and of course had to get it in the palest tone they had. While it isn't as pale as I usually go, I think it's still a lovely skin. Now you may be asking, Kaylith, why are you bringing out your male avatar? Well dear reader, it's because of this here ensemble. As I mentioned in 'Let The Games Begin', this is one of the ensembles that Zibska collaborated with Spartin Parx and Alyx Aerallo to create. I simply couldn't pass up photographing this unique outfit! Corvo Uomo includes a rigged mesh jacket and pants in standard sizing (with alpha layers of course), an unrigged necklace, unrigged shoulderpiece, and unrigged hat. The unrigged pieces are modify and very easy to fit. As always, the texture work beautiful and high quality! I found Zibska's Masha makeup to be surprisingly unisex, so I opted for the black option rather than the guyliner I was first playing with. Initially I was going to go barefoot with this outfit, but I decided to kick it up a notch and grab some footwear from CerberusXing that I had been eyeing for a while now; Sasu Geta is available in several colors that each include a bloody option, with both male and female versions. Once I was dressed and thinking about poses, I decided to drop by Grafica poses and look around. What I found were pretty amazing poses that are perfect for artistic photography as well as blogging! You can probably guess it, but I found a pose that just felt perfect. So from there, I set out to one of my favorite locations for a shoot.

From Afar

"Burning skies on the vengeance night. 

Devastating scythe of the ancient Light."

The Fantasy Fair holds quite a bit of promise this year. One of the talented designers released this neck piece that caught my eye and made my jaw drop. The Gladiator's Neckplate is beautifully made unrigged, modifiable mesh with tintable fur. There is also a special edition painted version that the proceeds go to Relay for Life! I'm completely impressed with this piece of armor, down to the details of the material mapping. When I first was playing with it, I got it to fit easily to my female avatar, until I realized that I wanted to play with it as a male. So I brought him out, put on a bit of war paint, and snapped a picture.

Disenchanted

Collabor88 and We <3 Role-Play got me channeling my inner Grecian goddess and I dragged Kaylith in on it. Between the flowing locks that Olive put out and the beautifully detailed horns that Half-Deer released for Collabor88 I got dragged in and the dress I found at We <3 Role-Play paired it off nicely. Not to mention Glam Affair struck again.

Jumping in on this, I couldn't resist joining Draggy for some fun. We were definitely channeling goddess poise in this, Greek style. Gotta say there's a little bit of Mnemosyne and Lilith going on in here. I did however wear a different crown than the one that came with the beautiful hair I'm wearing, but I'm kinda obsessed with Keystone, so you can't blame me!

Beached

Well my recent addiction to Glam Affair has been solidified by the most recent group gift. A skin in just about my perfect tone with rainbow make-up. It was totally different from what I thought I was getting as the poster showed, and even so I fell more and more in love with it as I was playing with it. And with a name like Sea Nymph well I had to take the mermaid route especially with all of the fun water themed stuff coming out this summer at the different events around the grid.

Between this beautiful hair from Tableau Vivant at the arcade and the beachy themed stuff all over Collabor88 it was not hard to piece this together. Especially with the full set of Mermaid poses that Elephante Poses put out for We <3 RP this round to play with until the tail fit instead of flopped.
