Hair Stuff!

Just a tiny little release to prove that I haven't died or anything. Here are a couple of cute bows for your hair. One is big and floppy and has stars, the other is double bows on each side of your head. These are super cheap (L$30 each or L$185 for all colors)!

Distractions!

Since my computer had been down, to fill my need for playing dress up with something, I ended up diving head first into the world of BJDs. The downside is that they are incredibly expensive though after looking at the process and the cost of materials...there's a good reason why.

Somehow that didn't stop me though. The only thing I refuse to buy for them is clothes, I can't see spending money on clothes for a doll when it costs the same as an outfit for myself!



This is my newest one, a little anthro fox that came dressed as a train station master. I think I may make him a little outfit that resembles a butler or something but I'm not sure. Also I'm having problems thinking of a good name for him but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.

I've also really wanted to make my own simply because it would be cheap and I could proudly say that I made it. So far I've made a head and I plan to just buy a body for it .



The back of the head is off right now because I'm still working on hallowing out the insides more so that eyes fit better as well as adding some ears. The eyelids also need some touching up and then a good sanding to even out the rough spots.

My big project though is to make a small faun girl. She will be about the same height as my little fox. My reason was that a certain company came out with a little limited faun girl (well they're androgynous but they look like girls mostly) and I honestly fell in love at first sight. It was mostly with the hooves though, hooves seem to be a big fad right now in the bjd world but these were different than anything out there yet. There's no way I can bring up that kinda money though in a few days so I decided that this was what was going to get me to make a full doll.


That's all I have right now is one leg. I should have made both at the same time but this is a first time thing for me, I really wanted to make sure I could do it. It's rough and a bit ugly but I still have quite a few hairs to add and alot of sanding to do before this will look anything close to pretty. It's already teaching me quite a bit about sculpting.



I'll end my wall of text with a sword-wielding cat girl!

I'm Officially Back!

After all these months I've finally got everything in order and have returned to SL. My computer still isn't 100% fixed but it runs and that's all that matters to me at the moment.

Unfortunately in the hard drive crash, everything was lost and it's kind of been discouraging so I might not get back to building things for a little while. My shop will remain open though in the meantime.

Man it's good to be back!

ALMOST!

I've been mostly working irl and will be moving to a new apartment at the end of the month so things have been pretty insane here. The good news is though that my computer is getting closer to being repaired. Unfortunatly the only way to save it is to wipe the harddrive and start anew, I'll be losing some things that were really vital but I was able to save most of the things that were important for my shop in SL. Hopefully in the next week or so, my computer might be up and running and I can finally get back to SL! I HOOOOOOOOPE!

OH COME ON!

So things were going pretty great, I was working pretty hard to get those new textures done so I could start building more hairs and have pretty new textures and make a big ol come back!

Long story short, after trying to get a game to work on my computer, I must have killed a system file and now I'm unable to boot my computer. How great is that?

My IT friend says that I could just easily fix it by putting in my windows install disk but I don't have one lol. Anyway he's supposed to at some point come and assist me on this but his schedule is pretty tight so that might not be for a while.

I've tried getting on SL with my mother's computer but it just doesn't have the juice to run it. I'm resorting to using my PS3 for all my simple browsing and email stuff but besides that, there's not much I'm able to do.

Go me.

ELLO

So alot of different things in my real life have happened and I'm still not quite sure if it's all been real or not. I even question if my life before it all was even real. But I finally think I'm ready to start doing things again as I used to.

So the past couple of days I have been nudging myself back onto SL, not really to do any work but to get back in touch with friends and secure important bonds once again.

I will say that my first task is to revamp hair textures to make them more shiny and brilliant and to finally have tipped colors. I estimate this task will probably take me a few days to create the default texture itself and then another day to do all the colors.

Never fear, I have not vanished!

Unfortunate Circumstances

So I've been pretty absent for a week or so but there's good reason. My boyfriend became fairly unwell about a week ago. His breath was shortened and he had severe chest pains for about three days. We decided it was time to take him to the ER when he could barely stand and found out that he had congestive heart failure.
He was in the hospital for a few days and has finally been released but he's not 100% well.

So yeah, it's just been a week of hell and worry and sleepless nights.

Another New Hair!

This next hair I just put out has kinda been a long time coming. Sort of. I had always loved Chii's hair but my first attempts are making it were...not pretty. Then again, I was going at it all wrong. Now that I have new tricks up my sleeve, I could finally do it. Except that's not what it really started out as. I just wanted really long poofish hair and then while looking around at some anime, spotted Chii's hair and kinda finished it off from there.

Except this one didn't say Chii to me so it has another name instead.


Come and try out a demo ;D

Two new hairs @ Penumbra

So I've been absent for a while due to a combination of work and video game addiction and having a few days off finally, I decided to get my creative juices flowing. Well that and the fact that I'm saving up for both a convention and a new Obitsu doll *cough cough*

So expect to see quite a bit out of me the next few weeks or months even!

So first up we have Shinonome:


This one you'll have to demo to really appreciate but it's based off of a character by the same name from a series called Amatsuki. It's a really cool topknot style with loose spiky hair in the back.

Next is Oni:



This one is the hair style of an original character I made that doesn't even have a name. However is an Oni and so that's what I tagged on it. I almost thought of making his clothing and whatnot for this one but decided not to start a project I wouldn't finish.

Well that's it for today, please try a free demo of each one at either shop location!

Bah Humbug!

Alright so thanks to my mother, I had been without internet for a few days (or more, I lost track) as she did something the internet company didn't like.

AAAAANYWAY.

I don't think I'll have any winter exclusives or anything like that. I was going to actually release a kimono set with the Yuki Onna hair but my idea for it didn't work out as I wanted it too and decided to drop the idea for now.

I'm going to attempt to get back on and make some more stuffs!

New Hair: Yuki Onna

Well because it's supposed to be winter...everywhere in the world except where I live that is, I thought I'd release something wintery.

My choice was the Yuki Onna. A Japanese snow demon, she appears to mostly men lost in the snow and entices them, luring them even deeper into the woods so that they will never return or breathing frost upon them and freezing them to the spot.

Or you could also use this as a Sadako (Samara in the US version) from The Ring.

New Hair: Tampopo

I created another new hairstyle this past week. This one is pretty messy and curly and tangly but fairly cute.



Now, because I'm trying to promote some traffic to our newer store, this hair will only be up there for a while. Maybe after a week or two I'll move it over though XD

New Store!

Excuse Our Dust

Selos Dae and I are working on setting our stuff up at a second location, one which in the future may have things only exclusive to that shop.
The picture above is the entrance, it's really cool looking I think!



Here's a snappy of the inside front, we're still kinda working on it but everything that is up is available.


As you can see (or not, it;s kinda dark) there's a whole lot of empty space here but hopefully soon it'll be packed to the brim with stuff!

Also across the way is the owner of the sim and our dear friend dreams Anubis and she also has a huge shop of skins and stuff, there are so many things to choose from!

Be sure to check it out at [.Project.Twilight.]

GO FORTH

Okay, new hair is out!

Also if you've seem to have lost previous releases, they're upstairs ;D

New Hair: Moro & Maru

Now mind you, these aren't out for sale yet, but I wanted to make this post now before I forget later.

I will be putting out two new hair styles and let's just say they're twin styles XD

Maru is the female version while Moro is the male version.

As for where the names came from, Marudashi and Morodashi are two characters from xxxHolic and their names aren't exactly G rated lol.

The differences between the two aren't obvious at first but Moro is more spiked, has a little more hair covering the cheeks and bangs coming down the front. Maru has the bangs tucked up and is a little more slicked back. Either way, I'm pretty proud of both of them.

These will be up for sale some time tomorrow but for now you at least get a preview:



As always the demos are free so don't be afraid to stop by and try 'em out!

.::.Penumbra.::. Main Store!

Another Year!

That's right, tomorrow is Siyu Suen's and my "Rezday"

It's the day that we both created accounts and began our "Second" lives.

Last year we had a rockin party with a purple and blue theme and danced to music aaaall night long. No really, we didn't go to bed till about 10 in the morning.

Yet again this special day comes and it's still kind of amazing to me that we've stuck to this place for two whole years! TWO!

In other news, I've released another new hair style called Shino. It's based off of a drawing by Selos Dae and was quite a challenge but I'm really proud of being able to pull off the buzzed hair look on this one. Be sure to try it out! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Carnivale/141/95/32

Off and On

So the past week or so I haven't been that active on SL. I have various reasons, dog isn't doing well, plenty of new games to play, and work. All of these things are killers of the work ethic. I assure you though, I won't be disappearing for good or anything like that!

Mysterious Ears!

So I know some people have probably seen some ears with lots of fluff coming out of them sitting atop the head of one of my friends but no, they are not yet for sale. They happen to be part of a certain project and will not be released before the whole thing is finished. No approximate time on when everything will be finished but soon, very soon!

Also I made some pretty neat hair and that is finished. As to why it isn't up yet...I don't have a good excuse lol

I'll try to get it up within the next day though, promise!

New Hair: Bao

Brand new hair :D

I saw a few "bao" styles popping up and though it's not hard to make, nor is it hard to make it not adorable, none of them were quite to my liking. So I made my own! This comes with the option of having the braids or not having them, either way it still looks cute.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Carnivale/141/95/32

By the way....

....did I mention my shop has been up? XD

Well, not completely but there is stuff up for sale, I just don't have a set building really.
Right now there are four different styles of hair up for sale for you to grab over at Carnivale, right next to []TRAP[].
