Skin Info

The skin in this set is a V2 "prototype" skin, that I started work on over a year ago. Demos are available if you'd like to compare what changes have been made. Overall I feel like it's a smoother skin (which I think translates well in windlight). Only one makeup (with 2 variations) is available for the Bootleg Annie costume. More will be availabe with some of the costumes that we'll be releasing in the coming days and weeks.  Who knows, if there is enough interest, maybe I will develop it as a full new line of skins.  I've taken some photos below of the skin out of the pirate context to show it on its own.

Right now there are only two skintones available. Unlike past Vogue skins, these tones are moddable via the pigment sliders. I'm afraid that means the eyebrows and pubic hair are NOT moddable.  In the event the skin is developed into a full line, I'd love to get some feedback regarding which people prefer to mod, skintone or hair color, since it's not possible to do both without some serious finagling.

Stay tuned for some exciting new costumes coming up. And until then, get to swabbin' the decks, ye hornswagglin' scurvy curs!

New School Collaboration Available Now

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, since I know it's been blogged already. I just wanted to post a quick heads-up that the New School collaboration between myself, Kari, TorridWear and Zyrra is now available at Celestial Studios.

I've been out sick so I'm a bit late getting this information out, but if you've missed it, be sure to check out this big set which now includes a jacket fatpack buying option.  Torrid posted all the information over on her blog, so read up there for all the details.

Thanks to Menno, Torrid, and Zyrra for working on this project with me and being ever so patient when I kept passing out with fever. <3

Sweaters, etc.

Several new sweaters out today in preparation of the approaching season change. Rainy Day shown above and here are all the color options:

Special thanks to Phoenix Chapman for suggesting the superbly creative name of the next set:

And finally, Aphrodixia. It may not be a sweater in the purest sense of the word, but surely it will warm up somebody. ;)

Colorful New Release

A whole bunch of brightly colored goodies are out today.  Shown above is the Mendy striped tee, which comes in a spectrum of colors and includes a white vest which can be worn separately as well.

Pair it with the Mendy Scarves in solid or plaid:

Some bright and cheery jeans:

I'm just posting the jeans in blue, but they are available in six colors. They include all three prim leg styles same as my other jeans, and are compatible with Celestial Studios belts as well.

A note about prim leg attachments:  The legs are tinted to match my preferred environment settings. You may need to tint them a shade of gray to blend in the best with your own settings, or you may download mine here. Extract the zip file to C:\Program Files\SecondLife\app_settings\windlight\skies (if you chose the default path when you installed Second Life).

Also out today is the Narwa dress. Available in a variety of wild and colorful prints. Shown here for detail in Natural Zebra and all colors below. (Click to enlarge.)

New Clothing Release

Four new clothing items out today for females.

First up, suede pants available in six colors.Four to match my suede belts and bags, and two new shades. Eggplant shown below and teal. (You're welcome Elika!) Like the rest of Celestial Studio's pants, these include all three prim leg attachments and options for both pants and underpants layers.

Box pleated denim skirts available in all 12 Celestial Studios denim finishes.  Medium Light shown here. These come with both gold and silver belt buckles.

Rainbow Stripe Tee, a casual top finished with a cute sculpted prim bow (which is totally optional if bows make you gag.) Available in three shades or as a fatpack.

Finally, the Bree Dress. If you're feeling like me, you're ready for a shot of color. This one is available in six warm weather shades. Sunshine shown below. Also available in a reduced price fat pack.

New Print Hoodies

Just a small update for today. I just put out a set of fun hoodies with all over print. These are available in the six color combos shown above.  These hoodies come on the jacket layer only. They do have a finished neckline and they can be worn without the hood as well.

More detail:

The fabulous hair is "Natasha" by ETD (coming soon).

Plethora of Pants

Tons of new pants out today. These replace all my older jeans and pants which I made in late 2005 or early 2006 and suffice it to say their replacement is LONG overdue.  This release consists of 12 pairs of jeans and 12 pairs of cords as well as 14 belts to mix and match.

Each pair comes with 2 different mesh options on both underpants and pants layers as well as three different sculpted leg styles; skinny, bootcut or flare.

Bootcut:

Skinny:

Flared:

Belts come on both pants and jacket layers for maximum versatility.  They are painted belts (not prim) and are specifically designed to be worn with Celestial Studios pants. Ie. They may not (probably won't) match up with jeans from another shop.

The belts come in a variety of colors, some of which are matched to my hobo bags.

Stop by to see the entire selection available.
