Gentle Violence

This is one I worked on purely for cathartic release. I wanted to portray the power and femininity of a true dominant woman, inspired after a woman that took my heart and touched my life. Bedroom sexy hair, black lingerie, her onyx ring, red lipstick and nails to match... so beautiful while the leather of her crop licks tender flesh.

Beyond The Daze

This one is particularly special. It has a far deeper meaning with heavy symbolism in the details. The color choices are that of what I have seen in recent lucid dreaming, as well as a bit of color blocking while still keeping it within the alternative realm. As for the set I delved into creating a little abstract world around the inspirations of the style, but keeping hard edges rather than many soft curves.
I have to say I'm really loving the Chromatic color pack from Little Bones, especially with this particular style. The way the highlights and lowlights sit is very pretty and the quality of this mesh is just gorgeous. Viola includes three standard sizes and an option for the pigtails to be in front, or down the back. For my style I went with primarily work from Zibska, mostly because we all know how obsessed I am with her work. I found that the jacket from her Hillevi set blended well with the shorts from her Renee set, but I could be biased since I like high waist shorts. However the look needed something, but not quite a shirt beneath the jacket for the vibe I was feeling. This tattoo from Letis Tattoo called to me and sat so lovely over the bust and just between the pigtails without being overbearing. As for cosmetics, I went with a blue and black eyeshadow, orange lips, and a yellow lip stripe (all from Zibska) to mimic the coloring of the hair and tie in the jacket. As for eyebrows though, I initially had blonde eyebrows, then black, but neither were sitting right with me. I decided to go out on a limb and use a tattoo layer eyebrow, tint them, then photoshop them a bit to get the exact look I wanted (sorry about that).

The Centipede

I'm going to start this out by saying I'm seriously terrified of centipedes. Of all things to be scared of and so many things I'm not scared of, centipedes get me. So that being said, I was dared to style this Centipede body from Aii. The Centipede includes a tattoo in 8 colors (plus one tintable one), omega and TMP appliers, a rigged mesh body with AO, an unrigged top, unrigged horns, and a color change HUD. There are 11 colors for the shell, 11 colors for the belly, 12 colors for the legs, and 7 colors for the pincher; UV and shadow maps for customization included as well. To top off the dare, Maddy added that I should use gold as a color scheme. Challenge accepted! So off I went in search of what to use. At Dead Dollz I found this gold bodysuit that was sexy, and the way the hips are cut on it worked perfectly with the centipede body and lets the centipede tattoo peek out. At that point it dawned on me that it would match perfectly with Titzuki's pitgirl bracers in gold! I loved the shape of Zibska's Bjorg collar, so with some careful adjustment it fit perfectly. As for cosmetics, I used this eyeshadow from Zibska, nails from Finesmith, and a custom eye stripe I may release later. I must say posing with this tail was a bit difficult, but I managed to make my own pose that just demanded an editorial hair.

Far From The Crowd

I really like the color purple, especially when it comes to hair. I decided to play with Little Bone's vibrant colors and I am definitely in love, they're really gorgeous colors! This combination of makeup from Zibska went incredibly well with these gorgeous eyes from Dead Apples. I must say this necklace from Zibska is especially pretty in design and texture; Emma comes with 18 gemstone textures in three texturable areas and 4 metal textures, via HUD. Though, Charm blew me away with this delicate ring; Eva's Ring comes with 7 stone textures and 2 metal textures. To finish off the look I went with a favorite nail set from Finesmith, which I felt was a nice touch. As for posing I made my own, then created a set that reflected my current mood.

Amaranthine

Sadly, the Halloween season has come to a close, but my love for all things dark and spooky still thrives on ever stronger. Azul definitely celebrated the joy of the spooky spirit with creating her Julie gown! There is a limited edition Halloween version, but I actually opted to play with a different color. This pink for some reason just stood out to me with the vibrancy of the color. Azul's Julie gown includes a rigged mesh body suit and gloves (both in standard sizing), a pair of unrigged wings, flexi skirt pieces, a flexi skirt train, and a tiara. I decided to styling it using Finesmith's Hamara jewelry in silver, as to pull the white pearls of the tiara throughout the outfit. I felt that some sheer, lace top stockings would be appropriate here and really add an effeminate sense of sexy. I finished off the outfit with these sexy wrap heels, lucious lipstick, and dark smokey eyeshadow from Zibska. Zibska's Ricana lips includes 36 shades of lipstick, with LeLutka, TMP, and Catwa appliers. I've noticed that both the Azul and Zibska dark color palettes like to mesh well with each other. Last, I needed to look for the right hair. I had something on while styling, but it just wasn't quite right! Little Bones just so happened to have just what I was looking for out at Uber. Creme is a very soft, fluffy hair that just looked too perfect in my preferred shade of blonde; I have to say the new textures are absolutely gorgeous. Speaking of Little Bones, I was one of the lucky few that made it onto the waiting list; then yesterday I logged on to a big surprise. I had been invited to the official Little Bones blogging group! Needless to say I'm exciting and I cannot wait to create art with this masterfully crafted hair. From there I ended up making my own editorial pose and crafted my own scene.

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.

You Never Said Forever

...Could ever hurt like this.

This one I can say is particularly dark, but holds a great personal meaning behind every detail in this photo. However, this meaning I will not be telling you, because I would rather leave this one open for interpretation by the viewer. This styling is quite simple, since it was for an artistic piece rather than a full outfit. I must say I am really loving the thorns adornments from Zibska at this month's round of The Laiason Collaborative! Visitante comes with a crown and a collar, with 8 colors changeable via HUD. There is actually a matching makeup and eye set that is wonderfully creepy and perfect for anyone who has a darker taste or wants to bring out the darkness for Samhain (or Halloween, if you prefer). I however went with reddish makeup that is also from Zibska, as well as some bloody tears. As for eyes, Zib's Aphra eyes were just the right amount of unsettling that I was looking for. As for set, posing, and my bindings, I had to custom create them and do a considerable amount of photoshop work for this sneer.

Illusory Allure

It is about time that I play with white and gold again. What better way than with an elegant jewelry set that so perfectly accentuates the feminine form? Charm has created this beautifully detailed set called Skye, which is currently available as a gacha for The Gathering. There is a headpiece, harness (with 5 standard sizes and unrigged version included), belt, earrings, and armlets in three metals (copper, gold, silver) to be won. All of the pieces are modify, so you can be sure to get the perfect fit. I decided to pair the jewelry with an equally as beautiful posture collar from Aisling that is currently out for this month's round of ROMP. It is rigged mesh, including six colors for the collar and four colors for the metal, controlled via HUD. There is also an Open Collar version included! For the sake of keeping naughty bits hidden, I went with the simple but lovely mesh panties that are included with the Maitreya Lara body, then built a quick pair of prim pasties to give the illusion of what lies beneath, while incorporating the colors of the look. I'll probably throw those up on MP as a freebie or if not, just contact me and I'll toss them to you. Finally, I finished off the look with this beautiful scarf from Aii, Zibska's whisper lips and Leia, a soft smokey eyeshadow. I didn't make my own pose for this one, since PosESioN had the perfect pose to complete what I envisioned.

Wayward

I'm not entirely sure why it is, but lately I am drawn to different hues of blue. With AZUL having so many beautiful limited creations (for a steal of a deal) out for their store renewal, I've been drawn to whatever speaks out to me, and Qulsome in sapphire did just that. Qulsome is a rigged mesh dress with 5 standard sizes, a rigged mesh hood with 3 sizes, a belt, and flexi skirt pieces. Finding hair to go underneath this hood that both fit and I liked was a hard one, but having expertise in modification, I decided to use a couple of different pieces to create my own hairstyle. Beyond that, I kept my styling simple. I went with dark eyeshadow and dark blue lips from Zibska, sapphire nails, and this absolutely beautiful ring from Charm. Nia was pushed with her modelling skills to create this stunning, intricately detailed ring that comes with 1 metal and 8 gem colors. Plus it modify, so you can achieve the perfect fit! How often do you find beautiful, high quality jewelry that is modify? There's a reason I'm in love with both Zibska and Charm. Once I was satisfied with my darker style, I headed over to Pandemonium with yet another custom pose.

Balance

"No matter how dark it may seem, no matter what is blinding you, there is always a light.

Sometimes it's just shining behind you. Find the balance within yourself."

Zibska strikes again with yet another amazing ensemble that is wearable art. I can never really explain what it is that inspires me or just exactly how, but her work always inspires me by bringing out emotions and thoughts that somehow correlate to the outfit in my eyes. Imke is currently out at The Inspiration and includes a rigged mesh corset and shorts in standard sizing, a head piece, a pair of shoulder pieces (which I made a copy of and also put on my hands), a skirt, and a pair of heels fit for Belleza, Slink and TMP. I went minimal with my styling as not to detract from the ensemble, adding a neck/chest makeup and some long gloves. I'm going to tell you right now, locating that mask was a seriously difficult task, but after calling out for help I was able to finally find it. Initially I was going to go with a very simple studio shot with the pose I made, but halfway through I found myself distracted and building this set. I'm completely thrilled with how this one came out!

Vipera Danse

Sometimes when I wandering events I see something from a designer, that I don't shop with as much as I really should, that instantly inspires me! Though I think it's been out for longer, Emo-tions had this sexy number out at The 24. Genesis includes both a silver and a violet version, which I thought was absolutely beautiful. All of the pieces except the head piece are unrigged, modifiable mesh. It included a top, skirt, necklace, a pair of armbands, a pair of forearm bracelets, and two headpieces (one for the Genesis hair, and one for a hairbase). Personally, I opted to use the Genesis hair also from Emo-tions, because I really loved how the hair shape was. For makeup I initially was toying with a purple eyeshadow, red lips, and my regular blue eyes, but something in me told me to do something different. So I switched to dark eyeshadow, purple metallic lips, and eyes with just the right amount of blood red. I loved it! I tried my hardest to find some belly dance style poses, and I came close, but I really couldn't find the pose to match what I was envisioning that did not prim break! I finally gave in and made my own, resulting in a piece I'm completely happy with.

Her Ghost In The Fog

" Putting reason to flight or to flame unashamed,

I swept form cries, mesmerized by the taffeta ley,

Or Her hips that held sway over all those at bay,

Save a mist on the rise, a final blessing to hide

HER GHOST IN THE FOG... "

Within Model's Workshop, there was quite the fun challenge presented. Of which, it was to style this beautiful creation of Mila Tatham's SoliDea FoliEs. Whilst laying my eyes upon it, I was listening to a song at the time that inspired me to take my style a bit different of a direction as I always do. Now I didn't go completely with the song as it describes the phantom being, but rather drew my own inspirations from it. To put a different spin on it than what most were doing, I went with editorial hair, a simple neck ribbon to accent the dress, and floral jewelry that included petals flying out to the wind. With eyes as black as ravens, I stepped out upon the waters where the mist began to gather, becoming her ghost in the fog.

Great Big White World

"It's a great big white world and we are drained of our colors.

We used to love ourselves, we used to love one another."

I don't know why it is, but for some reason I keep finding myself letting out my vampire side into my blogging. Before you ask, Tzimisce. But, this outfit is another example of the different looks you can craft with Zibska's creations. The blazer, skirt, and necklace is a previously released outfit set called Angele. Angele includes a rigged mesh skirt and blazer in five standard sizes, an alpha, and her Estee necklace and earrings in silver. I chose Zibska's Lena 06 lingerie set (which comes with Belleza and Maitreya appliers) to go underneath, because I loved the print and shape of the bra. For boots, bing you guessed it, Zibska again! I'm completely in love with her Svea thigh highs, but that could be my love for thigh high boots speaking for me. Moon's Boa hair was the perfect loose updo for a bit of that sexy factor, plus their white with dark roots was perfection. For a bit more of an edge, I added in White Widow's insidious tattoo, which features a striking owl that sat perfectly framed in the blazer and necklace. For makeup (you guessed it) I went with different sets from Zibska and my favorite liner from cStar Limited, then finished it off with nail polish from Finesmith.

Haute Felidae

Just going to start this post off by saying OMG! Moon Hair collaborated with Vale Koer to bring us this amazing mask and hair combo! I have to say it's been a while since I've seen something of this caliber in collaboration, because the quality of the hair and mask is jaw dropping. Moon kept with her astounding quality in her hair with all of her usual color packs, and Vale Koer brought us a masterfully made mask with 5 gem colors and 5 projection colors, so the materials are seriously phenomenal. Both Silent Acoustic and Bob are amazing at what they do and together, they have created a masterpiece. I decided to style it with a haute flavor, using a sexy gown from Peqe, a perfectly accentuating harness from The Forge, my favorite thigh high boots from Zibska, and a pair of long gloves. Finding a pose I was happy with was a daunting task, so I once again made my own.

Ardent Glimpse

I know that my blogging had still been a bit slow lately, but it's mostly because of the work I'm doing with the Audace Sirens and SL Vogue. I feel completely honored to be working with both of these incredibly talented teams! I've been learning so much, making new friends, and feeling inspired. Styling this beautiful dress made for Miss Brazil from -AZUL- was definitely a challenge, because I wanted to do something different (when do I not?) with it. I went with the peridot color out of the many gorgeous colors it's available in, because it had a hint of orange in it. Zibska happened to have quite literally THE perfect makeup to match, jewelry to accent, and hair that was just wild enough. I think it's pretty clear how shamelessly in love I am with Zibska's amazing creations! For my nails I went with Finesmith's solid set since there was nail color that had all the right shades of green in one,, my eyeliner being my favorite liner from cStar, and hazel eyes from Ikon. As far as posing goes, I just wanted finding anything that was close enough to what I was envisioning, so I had to again make my own pose to achieve just the right look and attitude I wanted.

No Redemption

The last time I showed my fangs was in my Serenade for the Damned, which was quite a while ago now. It's been long overdue that I let them show and what better way to do it than with a risque little number. The Ugly and Beautiful had released a thorned succubus outfit, which I felt would compliment my fangs quite well. I opted not to wear the skirt part, but it does include a rigged mesh tattered skirt in three lengths as well as three colors (black, red, purple). I obviously opted for the black. I decided to pair it with some hair ribbons and a gorgeous gothic cross collar from their gacha at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival; while the collar is a rare, it's absolutely to die for if you love darker styles. I felt a bit bare, so adding this stunning tattoo from White Widow added more to the outfit, without taking away from the almost-bare look. For makeup I correlated the colors with my hair ribbons, going with a cat eye style makeup from White Widow that features small gems, ruby red lipstick, and pointed nails to match. As for posing, I decided to whip up my own pose that creates a mood left open for interpretation.

In my latest work I've really been experimenting with style, lighting, and posing. Mostly my own pose creations, but still. With this one you could say I was spacing out a bit (see what I did there) and playing with a rather retro look, with inspiration drawn from Buck Rogers. I have to say it was a bit of a challenge playing with whites and silvers and really working on getting the contrast just right, but it was incredibly fun. This entire look actually stemmed from playing with Zibska's Einarr jewelry set for Fantasy Gacha Carnival. Einarr is modifiable jewelry set that include a headpiece, shoulder pieces, and pasties. It comes in 8 variants (Viola, Smoke Aqua, Ruby Navy, Gold, Sienna, Forest, Cafe) and a rare that is a full version with 30 colors controlled via HUD. Styling it was fun and initially I had about two or three looks, but one of Zibska's previous dresses stood out to me in a way I looked at it and went, "THAT." and fought the asset server to get a copy because I just couldn't wait. For additional accessories, I went with Zibska's Arista set, which has a very futuristic feel to it and I felt complimented the straight lines of the dress collar. Then Zibska's Achillea boots tied in a bit too perfectly, which was a wonderful surprise. While my makeup was monotone and in the silver toning, I still felt like it needed a little extra something. I wasn't quite sure, so it took me a bit of shopping until I came across this septum piercing from Finesmith. It was perfection! Over all I really fell in love with this look. Posing proved difficult with the preexisting sets I had, just because nothing was making me happy. In the end I made my own unique pose and while I'm sure I'll probably never use it again, it was completely worth it.

Remember Tomorrow

I've become quite fond of beautiful gowns and how flawlessly some designers intermingle mesh and flexi-prims. -AZUL- is one of the few designers that has mastered this art, combined with hand painted textures that completely floor me with the attention to detail. I feel completely honored to have been chosen to be apart of the official blogging team for designs of such high caliber and artistry. This gorgeous gown is called Ohana and was carefully crafted for Miss SL Vietnam and comes in 14 stunning colors. Ohana is a rigged mesh gown in standard sizing, including flexi-prim attachments that are resizeable via scripts. For my styling I chose to pair this gown with this elegant jewelry set from Zibska that's highly detailed with beautiful swirls and delicate gems. Claudia is an unrigged, modifiable jewelry set available at The Secret Affair (until august 14th) that includes a collar, necklace, and a pair of earrings. Both the metal and the gems have 10 colors, controlled via HUD. For makeup, Zibska wowed me with what she had out at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair! Rei is a bright eyeshadow that includes 12 colors and appliers for the TMP head. Delice is a shiny lipgloss that includes 30 colors and appliers for the LeLutka head, needless to say I'm kind of in love with them. I finished off the look with a high pony and my favorite gold nail polish from Finesmith that's absolutely to die for.

Muertos Vivientes

"Floral and skeletal."

It's definitely no where near Dia de los Muertos, but yet I still felt inspired to create a look inspired by it. White Widow released this beautifully detail tattoo featuring armbands and a sugar skull, called Desperado. Desperado comes in three opacities and had appliers for almost everything, so White Widow has you covered! I had recently saw a jewelry set on Flickr that was in the same flavor and it took me a bit to hunt it down, but once I did I was pretty happy with how it looked. Santa Muerte by L'Atelier of Jewels is a no modify jewelry set (resize scripted) that includes 3 face tattoos, 1 crown, 1 forehead piece, 2 eye pieces, 2 nose pieces, 1 nose piercing, 2 earrings (which I put in my hair instead), 1 chin piece, and 1 necklace. While I'm normally blonde with blue eyes (like my RL self), I decided to stray from that look for this post and go with black hair and brown eyes; which I thin it turned out quite beautiful. While dress shopping I was indecisive and it was taking several days. But just the other day I went by Dead Dollz to check their mainstore out (since I blogged their item for FahsionTropic) and I happened upon the gown that called out to me. Andalusia was created for Miss V Spain 2015 and includes the extra manton, which was specifically made for the runway. Both the dress and manton are absolutely gorgeous and both come in standard sizing, while the manton comes with both a non-scripted and a scripted pose version. Once I was happy with the style, I set out for a shoot.

Valhalla Awaits

"Here they come, by Odin send, see the valkyries ride!"

Admittedly, this outfit was one that I saw and went "Ooooh Shiny..." at then immediately purchased it. That and I had the perfect hair to go with it! Moon's Rajana is a very, very long rigged mesh hair that comes in their normal color packs. Rajana has two versions, one with and one without the golden head chain. I opted for the one with because I felt it suited the golden look and blended well with the laurels. Now the laurels give me more of a Greek feeling for the outfit, but I decided to put my twist on it and make it lean just a little bit towards Valkyrie. I've been searching the marketplace for years, YEARS trying to find a Mjolnir (Thor's hammer symbol/necklace) that I like and was modify. This is much more frustrating than you think... but I finally found one! It just so happened to fit perfectly over the posture collar of the outfit. As far as shoes go, I really couldn't help myself from buying hte matching boots too-- because seriously, look at those sexy boots. For accessories I brought Zibska's Berdgdis back out since it has such a pretty gold and my favorite nail pack from Finesmith. I felt I was done, but when I really looked at what I had, I felt something was... missing. I couldn't for the life of me think of what it was that I exactly wanted to add, then it hit me-- some extravagant makeup that looks like feathers. White Widow had exactly that; Crystal comes with five colors included (Black, Blue, Brown, Gold, and Pink) and the option of with or without eyeshadow for each color. Then that was it, it was perfect! Finding a pose proved harder than I thought, so I opted to make myself a custom pose for holding this scepter and gazing down over the battlefield.
