A swift release over lunch...

Despite the ill-feeling of the last few days, I've managed to get another release orgainsed and out...

More braids... so give it a lookover..


The bandana is colorchange (with instructions supplied)... Hope you like it... Now at the Synchronicity store, and Fantasy Land 3 later tonight, maybe...

Until next time,

Kalli

Compare and Contrast...

Exhibit A... Roni, by Discord Designs


Exhibit B... Newma Hair Male, 'by' (Not giving them any publicity)


With the former, for 120L you get:
+copy, +mod hair; two variants in two colors (with underlying scalp hair and without), Choice of a full palette of 72 textures, removable auto-adjust scripting in all to allow for easy head adjustment.

With the latter, for 70L you get:
-copy version ... you screw up resizing and it's your problem
One color - matt black so all details in the build are as good as lost, scalp hair variant only. No autoresize feature.

Take your pick... I know which sounds like the better deal to me though...

Until next time,

Kalli

You know you've made it in SL when...

...somebody rips you off.

I woke up this morning, settled down with my coffee, opened my inbox and...

[17:52] Teagan Blackthorne: I am sending you a landmark of a store with stolen hair. I am not so good with male hair but I know you have braids and they have braids here. I know all styles here are stolen.
[17:56] Teagan Blackthorne: Looking again, I am pretty sure this one is Roni


Thanks Teagan... good call. It was Roni. Hope you don't mind me publishing what you said; but I figure it's fair.

NOTHING in the store was a genuine item. Everything was ripped from another source; and in the case of Roni, it was initially the Grey from Monochrome box 2 that they were able to nick; so the copybotted style has had to be tinted black to get the effect they want, and as a result, it looks 'king awful. they've made no attempt to even retex it; my trademarked three field highlights clearly visible in the object texture window on each prim.

Naturally I doublechecked everything... They've evidently used an object cloner as all parts are now called "object" and come up with the thief's credentials as creator. I even recognise my sculpts...

Well what can I say... The gallows humour kicked in initially and I was even rather pleased to have been the victim of this theft; but as it sinks in, I'm just saddened. Not sad for me, as to be honest, it was a single hair... even if it was one that took me three weeks to put together... and I still have the monopoly on the other 71 shades... but sad that there are people out there who think this is acceptable behaviour. and are willing to piss on the efforts of genuine talented people to grasp at a few lindens. It's truly pethetic.

DMCA reports are being filed.

Until next time, when I hope to share some happier news,

Recent releases...

Hi again... release details after yeterday evening's buzz of activity...


Good grief, it finally happened! The braided piggies are live after 6 weeks of sitting around being judiciously overlooked...



Model found... coat purchased... photo's taken... Forkboy live.



Couldn't resist the mercenaries 2 look... boxed it... but the Travis included is a longer-line variant that I've had at my disposal, unused for quite a while... well it's out... and if you want it it comes with the beard for 90L.

Until next time,

Kalli

Further evidence of expansion...

Noticed a 4096 for rent right on top of the store owned by a pair of good friends...

Checked the prim count... noticed the 1.4x bonus...

Checked the initial outlay... 100L...

Checked the monthly rent...

Salivated...

Bought...

Erected a new store...


Welcome to Fantasy Land 3... 25 styles, neatly categorised for once! Offering the popular braids, men's hairs, pigtails, long open styles and short women's ones.

Might not have the range of Synchronicity but it sure is better ordered...

Until next time,

Kalli

I have not been playing Mercenaries II...

But something somewhere has evidently sunk in...


This is Forkboy... New beard... named after the first track on the Lard album, "The Last Temptation of Reid"... and for no other reason than it looks like a pitchfork at the end...

Speaking of beards, I have come across 200 prims or so on Burns, and have planted a viral ministore there, selling Leon, Robert, Vladimir and Frank... well, it was free, so why not?

Forkboy out when I've sorted some model photos..

Until next time,

Kalli

Just for updating purposes...

Odin now retextred and live in Synchronicity...

Until next time,

Kalli

Back...

...and I was going for a launch tonight, but have noticed a subtle texturing issue so I've got another tint and clone run to do... but hey... Here's Odin.


All you Vikings don't have long to wait now!

As you can see I've shown it with a beard, as I think it looks better... but there's the great debate about which beard looks bbest... That and I plan to make a couple more next week that ought to work well with...

So I settled on Robert, and haven't done the decent thing of fatpacking... yet...

All feedback appreciated.

Until next time,

Kalli
