Cybergoth v. 1,056

Posted by Fricka on May 3, 2008

I like to bust out the cybergoth look every once in a while since it’s a favorite of mine. What prompted me today was Cafe Society’s Flamingo Hunt gift from Long Awkward Pose! LAP has some of my absolute favorite poses in all of SL so I was super psyched and immediately went on the hunt and I was not disappointed! The poses are freakin’ awesome. Seriously, awesome. And they gave me the perfect opportunity to wear the amazing Sense hair group gift from AVZ. And I absolutely love this duster from Paradisis. It was one of the first purchases I made in Second Life and I still love it. And best of all, it’s only L$ 50 and it comes in 2 colors!! And yeah.. I’m kinda on a grungy brush kick with my pictures lately. :P

Unseelie/Seelie

Posted by Fricka on May 1, 2008

Better late than never… I remember hearing about the Calico Creations/~silentsparrow~ Flickr contest a while back but then totally forgot about it until today… so I scurried to put together my outfit! Of course, I ended up with 4 pictures and decided to reject the last pic. Let me take a minute to lavish praise upon ~silentsparrow~ and Calico Creations for their lovely things. I absolutely adore this dress, it’s the perfect shade of turquoise perfection and the texturing is just unbelievably fantastic. And of course, pair it up with the really fun and beautiful Calico Creation’s hair and you can tell they were just made for each other. ^^ And of course, I had to go to Lash’s La Reve to take pics. I just can’t help but go back there whenever I need an ethereal, gorgeous locale in which to set my pictures against. If you haven’t been to La Reve, omg, what are you waiting for? Go now. Seriously, go now.

Grungy Neko

Posted by Fricka on April 30, 2008

I write a bit in my spare time… I know, it’s very hard to believe considering the “quality” of writing I put out here… not to mention my deplorable punctuation. But I digress, I was listening to some Wolf Parade and was inspired to write today and one bit about a torn shirt just kept nagging at my brain. I had to see it. I couldn’t just write it, I had to visualize it. So about eight uploads later I had my torn shirt. Clothing, omg, it’s enough to make me pull my prim hair out. Making seams match up, fabrics match up, blah blah blah.. it’s argh. I finally muddled through with some stripes, but it was all worth the frustration to see it in the virtual flesh and it helped me finish up my vignette. I actually had made it to be worn by a male character but after seeing it on my Fricka, well, she had to keep it. One of these days I’ll take my hubby’s toon around to get accessorized so he can be properly photographed. Until then, it’s Fricka! The group gifts from Atomic Kitty are still available at their store.. but the hunt gifts are no longer available so far as I know.

Happa Spirit Eyes

Posted by Fricka on April 26, 2008

So I have a thing for eyes…you know, in addition to my thing for hair and clothes. :P I’m fairly picky though when it comes to eyes because I have fairly large anime sized eyes in SL so most eyes tend to be on the itty bitty teeny weeny side so they look.. odd. I love my eyes from Glanz because they come in a large size but as gorgeous as they are, they don’t come in a wild array of colors so I’ve had to keep shopping around for weirder colors. I specifically had gone in search of some red eyes to use with my Drow skins so I hopped over to OnRez and did a bit of browsing. I came across these eyes from Happa and I have to say, they are lovely. I ended up going for the pack of 11 eyes for L$ 250 and I am very pleased. The price is right and the eyes are gorgeous. One thing I really liked about the eyes is that when your eyes inevitably roll back into your head these eyes are elongated so you don’t get a huge expanse of eye white. Each pair of eyes comes with 2 pupil sizes, large and normal. I opted for the large pupil size and I love the look. The individual colors are only available on OnRez but you can find the full pack as well as a demo in world. Yay for new eyes! Oh and view the picture large to really see it.

Drowiness

Posted by Fricka on April 19, 2008

Drowiness.. not to be confused with drowsiness.. which I am suffering from right now. I found out just how difficult it is to capture a Drow with Windlight. Most settings were way way too dark and you could barely see her.. throw a face lamp on and ugh, washed out and fake. It was hard finding a middle ground while snapping these shots and since they still looked like crap I Photoshopped the heck out of them and now they are passable. I’m not usually a silks kinda person but I wanted a kinda skimpy something for my Drow to wear that wasn’t a bikini or typical lingerie and silks kinda tread the fantasy line just enough to be usable outside of fetish wear. At any rate, the Drows have arrived and I worked on snapping the ad pics tonight so hopefully I can get those squared away to release soon.. not too soon though as I’ll have to do a major rearrange of my shop to fit them in.. so much so that I may have to close for a day or two to get them into action. Anyways, onto the pics before I fall asleep… and no slurls ’cause I already logged out.. maybe tomorrow.

oOOOooh! I must squeal uncontrollably at the lovely jewelry from Illusions. Siyu Suen released a set of jewelry to go along with the Elven ears and OMG, they are just stunning. I’m only wearing the necklace in most of the pics, but I splurged for the fat pack and hope to work the other pieces into my looks on a regular basis. The pieces are truly works of art. ^^

Fun with Windlight

Posted by Fricka on April 11, 2008

Since I couldn’t TP anywhere.. or change clothes… or build anything.. or anything.. I decided to play with Windlight. I was stuck wearing my ultra bright radioactive facelamp instead of my more subtle one so you can definitely see how a bright lamp can blow out your face. Most of these settings are Torley Linden presets. If I hadn’t been so super lazy, I would have labeled them… but I really am super lazy. Anyways, onto the pics.. click them to go to my Flickr page to view the extra huge version.

Earful

Posted by Fricka on April 10, 2008

OMG, the new ears from Illusions. They are beyond awesome. Seriously, I haven’t stopped turning my computer screen over to my husband and going, “OMG, aren’t these the most awesome ears you’ve ever seen???!!?” He agreed the first 10 times and now just ignores me. :P I saw Siyu’s post recently about releasing new ears and awaited them with bated breath. And let me tell you, these lived up to my every expectation and then some. The piercings are gorgeous, the ears are beautifully constructed and the options are glorious. I love all the jewelry color options as well as all the skin tones!! Siyu Suen is truly a genius artist. I look at these ears as pieces of art and they are just a pleasure to wear and look at. Straight out of the box, no custom texture, these ears almost perfectly match the Drow skin I had been working on recently. I had to take her out for a spin to show them off so we went to La Reve. I’m still trying not to pull my hair out when working with Windlight. It’s a love/hate relationship for me. I did end up turning off atmospheric shaders to take a few non-Windlight photos to really show off the ears. On to the pics. If you click them it will take you to my Flickr page where you can view them larger.

Retro

Posted by Fricka on March 31, 2008

I’m pretty much perpetually late to the party and it looks like I’m late to the Wrong party. I picked these capris and top up during the last Wrong sale and am just now getting around to blogging them. But when I was searching for a landmark I found out they are closed ’til further notice which is a bit of a bummer. But I already took the pic so I’m gonna blog it anyways! Once they reopen I’ll post a little note.. though with me, everyone and their pet poodle will know about it before me. :P I’ll go ahead and take this moment to rave and rave about this freakin’ cute hair from Artilleri. I was looking for a retro hair do without bangs and I love, love, love this one. And of course I had to pick up some retro specs to complete the look. ^^

Sleepless

Posted by Fricka on March 29, 2008

I haven’t been sleeping well lately. To parrot a commercial for a popular sleep aid.. I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. So I did what any person having trouble sleeping might do, I fired up Photoshop and put huge dark eye bags on a skin. Plus some chapped lips for fun. In my defense, I was bored and tired. Bad mix.

Fantasy

Posted by Fricka on March 25, 2008

I had been wanting to do a picture spread that was pure fantasy and inspired by my love of World of Warcraft and I finally did it. This is my Second Life version of a Draenei. This post is going to be picture intensive and they’ll be the wee sized ones so if you want to see the full sized ones, click on them and they’ll go straight to my flickr page where you can see them larger. The latest Sunwell Patch just went live so I’ll probably be spending most of my time playing WoW but I can’t stay away from SL for very long.. especially with the goodness that is Windlight.
