All in Your Mesh Head

Something I effing hate in SL is exclusivity. As a very, very small and unknown creator I’ve had a devil of a time trying to get dev kits. I’ve found if a designer doesn’t make their dev kit publicly available I’m pretty much out of luck. I’d love to make skins and goodies for all the amazing mesh body parts out there but because of brand exclusivity I’m often left out in the cold. And it sucks. Both for consumers and for creators. Maybe I’m naive but doesn’t it seem like the more stuff being created out there for your mesh whatever the more likely it will be to stay popular and sell? At some point I feel like consumers are going to tire of all looking the same. Eh, but what do I know. Luckily there are some wonderful brands out there who either have made their items Omega compatible or make their dev kits easily available. And my kudos to those brands because you folks rock.

That said, I thought I’d highlight one of those user/designer friendly brands and show off a head from Catwa. This is a newer head called Annie that is specially priced right now for Halloween. I did two different looks with the same head using skins I’ve already made and I think they look pretty rad right out of the box. I’m super excited to play around some more with this head and hopefully release some goodies in the future!

Halloween Hunt Coming Soon!

I had wanted to have my annual Halloween hunt ready to go by today but, due to a string of really super stressful events, I won’t. But I promise it is coming, hopefully by the end of the week.

Until then, have a teaser.

Catching Flies

I’m slowly trying to gather all the mesh body parts out there to make appliers to go with new skins I’ve been working on.  Here’s my take on the mesh mouth from Loud Mouth.

Look of the Yesterday

I’d hoped to have more of a substantial post for the first day of Alicia Chenaux‘s Big Bad Blogger Challenge but I’m so horrifyingly sick that I’m not 100% I’m actually conscious right now.  But even so, I managed to drag myself to the computer yesterday to pick up Ploom’s Project Themeory hair which is so danged cute I couldn’t resist it.  I don’t know when Project Themeory wraps, but if it’s still out there, it’s a must have!
