Throw a coin to your Mercenary Magick User

Anyone who knows me well knows that I live in the fantasy realms and that I am an elven magick user when not taking blog pictures. I literally gasped when I saw this look from [QE] Designs! 

• This is the prefect look for exploring, vanquishing enemies, sailing the Seven Seas, hatching dragons (or schemes), or for just hanging out around the tavern 
• The outfit has separate Top, Pants and Boots. The hud includes 4 subtle color variations on the pants and lacings. I went with basic black though there is a red, blue and lilac as well. Metals are well done and the boots and belts are nice and shiny whether you have advanced lighting enabled or not
• Find it @ the [QE] booth in the Enchanted Valley of Plenty

Butterfly Dreams

Butterflies go fluttering by

On colored wings that catch the eye.

On wings of orange, and silvery blue,

On wings of golden yellow, too.

If winter brings the cold and snow,

To warmer climates, off they go!

Returning home the following spring,

Beautiful butterflies on the wing!

You can find the newest release from Aii & Ego at The Crystal Heart. The set includes Magical Butterflies * in 2 sizes in either Animesh or Bento. Having the butterfly auras available in both formats allows you to add more to your avatar, since there is a limit to the number of Animesh items one can wear at the same time.

The butterflies move around your body in a very realistic manner. Two of the Animesh ones land on your shoulders and hover there for a short time before flying off again. The hand-attached butterfly is animated to flutter around your body and land briefly on your outstretched hand. There are 3 static butterflies that you can attach or rez wherever you wish.  I'm wearing Static v1 attached to the top of my head in several of these pictures.

The hud includes 20 colors and includes options to adjust transparency, alphas, luminosity, color, etc. I'm showing 3 of the presets. Demos @ Aii & Ego Main Store or TCH.
 

• My dress can be found upstairs on the north wall of the [QE] Designs Main Store. You get to browse all of the fun looks and the Home Décor available from [QE] on your way to the vendors. The dress comes with either dark or light ombre palettes in 10 color combos and includes panties and leg wraps.

Below is the comparison of regular environmental settings and Advanced Lighting. Not a lot of obvious difference this time except for the highlights on the wings and the shadows

Aii & Ego @ Mermaid Cove

 

Far beneath the waters of a quiet caldera there lies a bustling hub of Mer activity. The Third Annual Mermaid Cove continues till July 3.

Aii & Ego is one of the event sponsors and has developed a  beautiful siren's tail for use with Legacy F and Maitreya bodies.

The Siren Tail can be personalized with tail, fins and trim each in 9 hud-controlled colors. The tail fits at either the normal hip level or low cut and has an internal AO that animates both the tail and the rest of the body for smooth swimming and stationary swimming movements.

As always, here are the pictures showing the contrast between regular lighting and Advanced Lighting. You'll definitely want to try Advanced Lighting with your Siren Tail. It makes the colors and textures really stand out and puts a nice sheen on the tail!

Aii has new lovlies for your fantasy wardrobe

You will find Aii's Monster Pelt @ The [Mod]ify Event till May 31.  I'm showing 3 of the 5 styles with just a glimpse of the dozens of texture options. You can find demos at the Aii & Ego Store as well as at the event.

The Shadowmancer Neck Collar is a lovely addition to any fantasy look. I went with white, silver and pearl to contrast with my dark skin in the pictures. Rigged in sizes for male and female, with 11 metals, 16 leathers and 19 gemstones, you can personalize the collar to match or contrast with your other clothing and armor.

Demos for all the new items can be found around the landing point @ the newly remodeled Aii & Ego Store 

Hair ~ Raven Bell Willow

Head ~ Catwa HDPRO Queen
Body ~ Maitreya Lara 4.1
Skin ~ Fallen Gods Bifrost LE
Outfit ~ Lurve Valkyrie Spirit bodysuit and vambraces Coal

Boots ~ Petrichor Araleus Leg Armor
Extras ~ Poppycock Fear Nothing Pose and Sword

As always, the pictures showing the contrast between regular lighting and Advanced Lighting. [My background colors were swirling, but they didn't affect the lighting on the pictures.]

The textures on the gems and leather particularly show the advantage of using Advanced Ligthing

[QE] Designs has some really cute items for Mournful Monday this week. 

Some folks might be surprised to learn that witches not only don beachwear, but they look darned sexy while they're doing it! And okay, yes, this picture was taken on the raft in the swamp next to my witch's shack, not really at a beach, but the sexy part still applies.

We are not our grandmothers' witches, so here you go: 6 esoteric and astral designs for the top and 5 pretty colors for the bottom on 2 Tankini sets.  

• Photo 1 from V1 Crystal accented Goddess Triple Moon sign on the top with golden bottom
