And more...



Thanks to Shinobu Imako for modelling the Onyx variant... ;)

Until next time,

Kalli

New sharper Axe

OK... some developments... Axe gets a rework... based VERY closely on the original...


New Aya, based on the same bare bones will follow... Finally the blunt ends and non-alpha layers have gone to be replaced with something that actually looks like hair...

Hope you like,

Until next time,

How to lose customers and distract people...

Why it never occurred to me is a mystery... but the textures on the new vendors take FOREVER to load... 512x512 is just too big an image size to upload like this, so I'll be downgrading the new vendor images to 128x128 in due course... hopefully people won't have the upload issues then, and still be able to read what's on them.

We'll see...

On a personal note, I'm tied up for a few more days with various RL concerns... Expect me back and working in earnest from the 1st of April

Until then,

Kalli

A well deserved break...

Well... here we are... Easter.

To mark the occasion, I'm taking off a little time from the grindstone that is my Second Life, and going away to stare into space for a few days. I suspect I'll be back next Wednesday, or maybe Tuesday evening... We'll see.

Well... on a personal note, I'd just like to thank all of you who've supported me by reading this, offering comments, buying products and telling your friends! Have a fun and relaxing few days, and I'll be back and fighting the middle of next week...

Until next time,

Kalli

CONSUME!!!

Well... Easter is upon us, and to mark the event, I give you no fewer than ELEVEN new releases this week in the mains Sync store.

Do come see as there's some rather good ones to be had here... all 120L a double, 360 a fat or 980 for the whole 72... well... all except Li, which is 60L a double, 180 a fat and 490 for all...



Do drop by for a looksee... you won't be disappointed.

Until next time,

Kalli

Remember Babylon 5?

Some residents do, and have asked for a corresponding hairstyle for those wishing to RP a Centauri...

Naturally, I thought "why not"...



Going live soon in the main store, and in the Rp sim itself... so look out for it...

Until next time,

Kalli

Look under the boardwalk...

Three vendors... for Keitaro, Shinobu and Echo have been hidden in the Discord main store for a few days to see whether anyone notices..

*evil grin*

Until next time,

My name is Jonas...

Every once in a while I divert off the given path and get talked into something different...

Well... that's how Aya, Ryoko and Nariko came about... as well as the orginal Dexter... and it should be fitting then that running across a request for a prim beard in my IMs leads onto a new style...

The requestee... who happens to be called Jonas... hence the hair's name... has been looking for a decent prim beard for a while, and already wears Dexter... well... why not spare him and other the effort and rig the thing p to the hair... so it actually matches..?



This is mt first attempt at a prim beard, so I hope he likes it...

Shown in the new Anthracite, as it happens...

Until next time,

Sometimes you wonder why you try so hard...

I made a discovery this morning...

The Ryoko tinting has created four copies of equally sized hairs, despite being labelled differently... this means I must have created them NOT resized them, cloned them and loaded the vendors yesterday with them all the same.

Now I have to wonder how often I've done this before now... so I have no choice but to check each and every tint again...

I don't know whether to cry or laugh hysterically right now... I'm suspecting it''s just going to be safer to go back and start again with the clone and load.

Either way... news is not all bad. Talks with a friendly skin designer have got me a retone on my current favourite skin (which she implied she may be relaunching at a later date... just so you know...) which I'll be using to advertise a very specific range of products... Furthermore, Jeela Juran of Boingo (see the blogroll) has agreed to make the shirt I need to complete the look; which just leaves me to sort the hair.

And what is this you may ask?

Well to come clean, I've been spending a lot of my time playing Guitar Hero 3, and have fallen quite hard for the look of Judy Nails - one of the characters... and her hair is right up my alley; so I thought I'd make a start at bringing it in-world...along with the hair designs for the rest of them... Johnny Napalm is already more or less in the bag with the reworking of DDL and the new TW1, and the rest will doubtlessly follow in time.

Yes... Next big project once the shop is refitted... Guitar Hero hair!

Well... until next time,

Kalli

First vendors loaded!

And what a relief that is to say... fighting with them all week... but now at least we're back on track... pictured below are Ryoko and Shinobu vendors... primed, prepped and ready to roll...



Thanks Alice... They look great!

Until next time,

It was only a matter of time...

He's back... this time with a slightly thicker and more detailed mop... but the baldie returns...

New Dexter... new danger...



Some fine adjustments before going live, but hey... looking good to me...

Until next time,

you're gonna get sick of these before long...




Quiet day today as RL commitments took hold... but some further progress regardless.

Until next time,

Two more FTW!

Right... OK... calming down now... but today has been productive, even if I'm yet to actually dent the vendor creation itself...




Ah me.... light hearts and heavy eyelids now...

Until next time,

Kalli

Breaking into a jog...

And there's more...







Just a note, as I missed it... Echo, the top one of the list pictured on the last update, is new. I intially made it as a birthday present for someone, but bearing in mind it's a unique look for me, and there's a woeful derth of updos in the range, I feel an obligation to launch it.

More styles will be worked as soon as I can organise it. There are, after all, still ten adboards to make for existing styles... made me realise how far I actually managed to get so far.

Another five guys' styles and I should be in a situation to go live... well... a few more would be nice. All in good time, as they say though...

Until next time,

Kalli

Picking up my feet a little...

More new ad-boards...







Until next time,

Kalli

Slouching towards Bethlehem

Taken me an age... events of the last week have been demotivating and I've been left feeling somewhat flat.

As a result, there's been little progress of late, but I've started organising pics for the new vendors. I've shown a rough test one before, but now I think I'm happy with the concept enough to share:







I hope to make further dents this week in terms of cloning and prepping for launch. More new styles as and when...

Until next time,

Kalli
