Aii Creates a Faery Tale for Spring

+Aii has done it again! Just when I think the pinnacle of amazing creations has been reached, Aii raises the bar.

• Create the ultimate Faery look with Dark Fae Ears and Dark Fae Wings, currently available @ Engine Room. 
• It's impossible to describe how beautifully textured these are. Every scale and vein is visible on the wings and the movement is excellent. [80 wing colors with realistic and fantasy markings / 20 Gemstone types / 10 metals + options to personalize everything as you wish].
• The Bento Ears are well sculpted and rigged for Male & Female LeLutka heads. They blend with your skin color using BOM EvoX ear tattoos. Trimmed with crystal clusters and metallic trim set with gems, the ears use the same textures listed above to match the wings perfectly.
• Demos are available @ Engine Room and at the Aii MAIN STORE.

Midsummer Heatwave

• Release your inner Phoenix and rise from the ashes of a past that may be preventing you from reaching your full potential.

• Look at each day as the opportunity for new start.

Hair Hell Continues ...

You didn't really think you'd seen the last of Hair Hell, did you? 

Aii & Ego have released another amazing hairstyle for your consideration. You'll find this one at the Engine Room. 

Demos at the Main Store and the Engine Room.

Sonata* is long, full, wispy and will work equally well for fantasy looks and everyday wear. One of my friends described it as "princess hair". Like the other styles in the Hair Hell series, there are 64 colors in each of the possible hair versions: Solid, Ombre, 2-Tone and Roots. The optional accessory is a moon-shaped clip in the back with 4 metals and 9 jewel colors.

All of the Hair Hell styles can be personalized using the included BOM colors. The BOM toggle button is on the regular hud under "customize" and the BOM colors are in a separate box.

I would suggest you spend a little time playing with the BOM hud and colors to become familiar with them. A tutorial card is included on how to use them. READ the instructions! It is essential to wear the included (BOM) Base Hair in order to use the BOM colors, though the special base is not necessary when you use the hair with the regular hud colors.

Colors used in the pictures, top to bottom:

1. BOM Monochrome 1 w Pastel 7 highlights

2. BOM Red 1 w Red 8 Highlights

3. BOM Blonde 2 w Prism 50%

4. BOM Red 1 w Red 8 Highlights

Body ~ Maitreya Lara 5.3
Head ~ LeLutka Evo X Avalon 3.1

Demonic Beauty from Aii & Ego

Aii & Ego have a whole collection of new wonders that work so well together I just had to make a new demon! You'll find them all in the Main store. I've included the in-store LMs in case you want to check out individual parts.

Lily Archdevil Wings includes unisex double or single wings with animesh or bento animations in sizes XS -XL. I'm showing size M. Change the metals, claws, wing colors and tattoo accents with the hud.

Complementing the wings are the Lily Devil Horns and the Lily Devil Tail. These are also unisex. The Horns can be worn with or without jeweled chains. The Tail has a nicely jeweled base and seems to have a mind of its own as it whips around behind you. 

Find the Horns HERE. 

Find the Wings and Tails HERE 

Aii has developed a full range of unisex eye makeups and accents in 7 colors. Mythical Mega Makeup Pack comes with eye makeup and forehead accents with ether SLUV tattoos or for EvoX heads.  The eye makeup is absolutely striking and can be used with any sort of clothing, not just for fantasy wear. 

Find the Makeup HERE

Finally, there is Demonic Touch with amazing BOM finger shape adaptors and Claw Jewelry, Third Eye in vertical or horizontal orientation and Hand Eyes. The eyes are animated and sure to unsettle the queasy. Elbow Spikes are also included for that extra little spine chill.

Aii & Ego present: Holy Hell

Aii & Ego has just released another amazing look for fantasy/mystical personas. Whether you are a lawful angel, a chaotic demon or something else this set will add magic to your look.

Holy Hell comes with unisex Body Feathers which cover arms, legs and torso and Ankle Wings as well as the Halo & Horns headdress. There are 34 textures in the hud. Layers of feathers can be colored separately. I'm showing only pearl and almost-black, but there is a rainbow of jewel colors in the hud.

I'm wearing the Holy Hell set with Starfire Angel Wings, also from Aii & Ego. The wing hud offers the same feather variations available in the body feathers and has options for armor, energy wisps, bones and talons. You can also choose from 10 positions so that the wings fit your avatar perfectly. The unisex wings come in sizes from Xxs - Xxl.

Hair ~ BonBon Nori

Head ~ LeLutka Avalon 3.1
Body ~ Maitreya Lara 5.3
Skin ~ 7 Deadly S{k}ins Pink
Outfit ~ Aii & Ego Holy Hell

Pictures below show the difference between using Regular Lighting and Advanced Lighting. Advanced Lighting highlights the individual feathers and the metal of the headdress. Remember that activating Advanced Lighting only affects what appears on your screen, it doesn't affect how others will see your avatar.

Aii & Ego Will Make Your Skin Crawl

Aii & Ego present a wonderful new Animesh Centipede called Oomukade [A monster having the lower body of a centipede that mainly inhabits the Zipangu Region. The upper body has the form of an alluring beauty that gives off a dark vibe]. 

The hud includes 18 preset colors to use with or without advanced lighting (see the comparison below to see the difference that turning on advanced lighting makes*). 

The hud also allows you personalize your centipede body by coloring individual parts and by adding tattoos, gloss, and glow.
You'll find Oomukade @ Necrotize until November 20. You can pick up the DEMO at Necrotize or in the Aii & Ego MAIN STORE.

If you want to go all out as an arachnid, in the booth next to the Aii&Ego display Bespoke has unisex Yokai centipede head/skin sets made to go with the centipede body. 

One nice thing about having been in SL forever is that I have seen some delightful developments as the technology improves. One of my very early blogging assignments was the centipede body that Aii made in 2015. If you'd be interested in seeing the contrast between that version and this one, click HERE.
