Sale Update & Updates Update

Sale Update
The skin sale is officially over. It ran about 12 hours long since I fell asleep on my couch waiting for it to be 7pm SLT and couldn't shut it down till I woke up this morning. Oops! That's what I get for trying to go a day without caffeine.

When I did log in this morning, I popped in to extreme lag. I received several blank notecards just titled "New Note" with "Unknown" creator.  I expect this was due to the lag.  If you sent one of them and it was actually supposed to have some sort of information on it, please let me know.

****EDIT:  Apparently at least some of the notecards were written to inform me that two of the sale packs were not marked down.  I'll be going through transactions and refunding the sale price difference to anyone who may have purchased one of these packs inadvertently. The two packs affected were in the Cashmere skintone, both Blue & Aqua.  If you wanted to purchase either of these but refrained due to the price discrepancy, please IM me by Friday and I'll honor the sale price.

Future Updates
Updates may be a little slow for awhile as I have a whole bunch of big projects in the works. The kind that keep me busy but keep my new items wall emptier than I'd like.  I may have a small hair & accessory release later this week and then I'll be devoting a lot of time to new skins. The next release will be the Vogue skins for the darker skintones.  I have been promising those for about a year, and working quietly & diligently on them all summer since I rebuilt and actually have room for them now!  These are still a little way off, but coming along quite well. Expect three new skintones and a little bit different skin overall. I'll explain all the details when it's time to actually release them. For now, here's a little sneak peek.  This is actually a few stages ago in the skin but SL seems to want to blow up if I take a new snapshot.

After that, there are three more skins in the works, including one for men! No further details on those projects at this time. Expect to see at least two of them by the end of the year. And maybe, just maybe, I'll find the time to sneak in some Halloween things. ;)

Yay, darker Vogue skintones!!! That looks so purty, I'm *really* looking forward to seeing them :D That lil pic is super cute, btw. ^_^

"This is actually a few stages ago in the skin but SL seems to want to blow up if I take a new snapshot."

Taking snapshots is for the weak ;> just press PrintScreen to capture content of screen, then paste that into Photoshop and edit away ;o

Wow starley! Those darker tones are coming along great, can't wait for you to release them and yay aout the male skin :D!

[Starley]

lol, Joannah, you seriously underestimate my laziness. :P I use SnagIt too, but the quality is sorely lacking.

[Shinesse Madison]

O.O

See this is why I love your work and its so hard for me to ever go to anyone else. <3 The skin is beautiful.

[Violet Xingjian]

Dear jebus I'm excited for darker tones :O

[Dafne Watanabe]

This skin is beautiful!!!
It reminds me of Halle Berry!

[Sallie Igaly]

Of course you had to have your sale the weekend I am away from SL! Just my usual luck... I could do with yet another Vogue 4-pack (or two).

[Starley]

Sorry you missed it Sallie. It actually ran since last Wednesday though, it wasn't just over the weekend. I'm sure there will be another one some day.

[Willow]

That Dark skin looks fab, can't wait to see more.

[Starley]

Thankies! I hope the rest of it lives up to expectations. :D

[Sallie Igaly]

Thanks Starley! No problem at all!

I managed to miss the sale completely, though it was mentioned almost everywhere in the SL-related places I read, as I promptly found out after the fact.

Oh well, I will end up buying a pack at full price sooner than later. Vogue is a great skin and just one of the two that look really good on my AV (I must have tried on a thousand demos when I first got shopping for skins).

[Chardonnay Mathys]

OMG! where da hell I been!! ty ty ty ty ty ty finally a nice dark tone for the Vogue line, I am so on it. woot woot

[Ana Boogiewoogie]

Do you have a date set to release the darker vogue skins? I can't wait much longer! :)

[Starley]

No release date set yet, sorry. The work on the body is almost finalized, I still have to do all the makeup, which will be (for the most part) new & different from the regular line. I'd really like to say November 1st, but I'm afraid that would just make me a liar.

Now that the Halloween costumes are done, I will get back to work on them posthaste!

Hi Starley, this glimpse of your work on the dark skins looks great. I just wanted to mention that a lot of dark skins in SL make the mistake of having the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet be the same color as the rest of the skin. Dark-skinned people's palms and soles are lighter than the rest of their skin, of course. But actually, you probably wouldn't make that mistake because your work is always quality; just thought I'd note it, though.

[Starley]

Good tip Istatha. I will keep that in mind. Not sure when I'll be finishing these now though. :(

Maybe a small set since I know people have been waiting a long time. My heart just isn't in them anymore.

Hi I have a question about the skins. I've tried the demos and everything [I havent bought any skins yet]

Do any of the skins come with a hair base like the "Naughty Designs" skins? I really like skins with the hair base, it makes the avie more life like to see a hair line... at least to me it does.
