Mithica Easter Egg Hunt - April Friday the 22nd

On April Friday the 22nd, Mithica will be having an Easter Egg Hunt!

Participants willing to come for the event will have a chance to search the sim looking for well hidden eggs around the region! We ask that participants limit their egg finding to just one per person so everyone has a chance to hopefully find one of their own before time runs out and they are all taken!

There will be two hunts that day, the first Easter egg hunt will be begin at 9 am PDT(slt) and go until 10:30 am PDT (slt)

The second Easter egg hunt that day will be from 4pm pdt(slt) to 5:30 pm PDT(slt)

Each egg represent a free token to any one item made by Piper Shan within Mithica. This includes products from ...

• Demons & Angels fantasy clothing and accessories store
• Rez Fantazy anthro/furry avatars
• and.. White Oak Equines -rideable horses.

***************
RULES FOR THE EVENT: The event is limited to one egg per person. Special scripts will be made to let me know who has picked up an egg, so picking up multiple and passing them to friends wont work. People who cheat to take more then one will be disqualified. Please be kind and share!

Once you have an egg, wear it to hold it... and find Piper Shan or Valen Planer at the Easter Circle and let us know what you wish to trade your Easter egg token for, and it will be sent to you once you trade in your egg. Make sure to wander around Mithica to see what your prize options are. If your not sure and want to think about it, you can send your egg at a later date along with a note-card stating what you want as your reward. :)

***************

Easter Bunny Ears and Tails will be offered at the event, and up until the event in Mithica as a group Freebie, so come and check it out! We have Blotchy, Brown, White and Color speckled bunny ears!

D&A Looking for models!

Demons & Angels, Rez Fantazy and White Oak Equines is a growing business in Second Life.

In order to further expand we have decided its time to bring on some committed models to show off Demons & Angels, and Rez Fantazy's and White Oak Equines newest avatars, attire and accessories.

We are looking for well-put-together (attractive) avatars in Second Life, of both the male and female gender. Preferably with human skins. If not then perhaps apply to model one of Rez Fantazy's anthro (animal) avatars

**********

The requirements in what we are looking for in an employee are simple.

1) Friendly

2) Committed enough to put in good modeling hours ( we don't mind if you do this while working or sleeping)

3) Decent looks, skin hair, eyes. ( we will dress you, so clothes don't matter!)

**********

What you get for modeling?

Free items from any of Piper Shans Designs in Mithica! Every 40 hours you put into modeling you get to choose a free item of your choice. It can be anything I have for sale in Mithica. Be it an outfit, avatar, or house!

Of course you will also be receiving an outfit to model which will be of no cost to you. No experience is needed. You simply wear the outfit that is assigned to you and then stand on your modeling post for as long as you like, when you like!

You also get to be apart of the Demons & Angels family, and get first dibs on new releases!

**********

The Model Stands are user friendly!

Demons and Angels has custom made modeling stands that only hired models can use. It works off a data base and will record how many hours you have modeled total, and how may more minutes/hours you need to reach your forty hours each time you step off the stand.

In addition, the stand will notify you and the model mamager each time you reach forty hours and a free item is due, at which point you tell me what you wh

at!

**********

If you are interested, please contact Demons & Angels model manager Nayr Muggins and ask for more information and an application! Or else visit the D&A store and check out the service desk and grab a notecard with more info yourself! :)

Details of the Reindeer Party

Thank you everyone who came out to the Reindeer release party at Rocket City Community. It was a great time and people seemed to really enjoy themselves hanging out, chatting and dancing with friendly people :)

For those of you who do not know what Rocket City Communty is, here is a description taken from their region profile.

"The Rocket City Community is a fun and friendly PG furry community! We have weekly events, a beautiful sim and community center to relax and unwind in, and a wonderful Dealer's Den full of some of the best furry avatars in SL!"

You can visit their location HERE They have nice lounge areas to hang out and a bunch of great furry avatars vendors "up stairs" in their vendor room.

I can speak from experience that the staff there is great! all friendly personable and wonderful. I have had furry avatar release party's with them before. This time the Dj was Kryxia Silverfall, and I believe Kryxia will DJ for other events, I highly recommend!

The landscape for the event was stunning! apparently it was the set up they used for their winter festival party which hadn't been taken down yet, but it was perfect for the theme of reindeer! I adored it, I want to go and hang out there all day! space and snow and pine trees go beautifully together! I have of course taken many pictures to show you!

This first picture is just outside the convention center, advertisement set up for my Reindeer, I believe they were later turned into teleport signs to get to the main event for people that showed up, as the event was actually in the sky on platforms.

Over all picture of the platform the event was held on. Just love it, loved it! :D

After my vendors were set out.

Everyone on the dance floor! we got a good crowd :)

Couple Reindeer's dancing the night and way. That is me and Valen Planer, and a fan of the avatar dancing in a group.

Beautiful stars and colors swirled by, it was an animated sky and I wish you could have seen it as I did.

Thank you again!

If anyone is interested in the Reindeer Avatars, you can find them in world at Rez Fantazy Here, or you can check the Marketplace Here.

Marketplace update.

I have allot of improvements to make for my SL businesses over all. One off the "to do" list was to improve my Marketplace shop. Ive done that by adding a banner and updating my profile information and what not. Finally its starting to look more put together. I wish we could customize the store front more then just a banner.

You can see my store Here on the Marketplace

Black and Copper!

Finally done all the colors! There are six to choose from. Brown, Grey, Cream, Black, White and Copper. Ive posted an example of all the colors in previous blog posts so just scroll down older entries to see them. I usually prefer to keep the colors of my avatars looking a natural and realistic as possible. Its just my personal preference to try and stay away from something to cartoonish. Now I just need to test them all out, make sure all functions normally, then toss together a note card and box em up for the release date! See here for release date information!

I hope you are all excited as I am! Im really proud of these avatars and how they have come out! Its great with the alpha mask. Im going to have to someday update my old avatars! Ugh the work ahead of me! Thank you SL updates for forcing me to update as well hehe - Im a lazy ass.

Reindeer at play

Took a picture to show my progress on the first reindeer prototype. Reindeer at play! took a picture on the swings in Mithica ;) more interesting then just a dull plain old snapshot.



Gotta tweak the skin more
- add a tail
- make better hoofs/hands, more akin to reindeer
- make more interesting looking eyes

...and then lots more little things! But I am loving to new alpha mask, bye bye invisible prims!

Reindeer!

I was feeling in the Christmas spirit and decided I wanted to make Reindeer avatars :) I spent a good amount of the day slaving away over the first part, the head. Lots of sculpted prims and lots of texturing! and more ahead of me! But here is a sneak preview of Rez Fantazy's most recent!

Issue with Rez Fantazy Avatars not loading.

I think Second Life may have done something to change peoples default settings on graphics, as a few people recently mentioned this problem, but it seems to be a graphics error. What I believe people are seeing is the sculpted prims are not properly rezing.. The sculpted prims on the eyes and head look rearranged. This could be for a number of reasons, I encourage you anyone to to check that has my avatars and is experiencing this problem.

1) Make sure you use second lifes default viewer.

2) If you have unliked and relinked any prims in modification and did not relink to the root prim this can cause issue.

3) make sure that your graphics are set higher.

4) If your graphics appear high enough already, look in advanced options and drag the tab higher where it says "objects" and see if this solves your problem. If none of this helps I will try sending you a new avatar.

It seems once I ask people to check their graphics they do not get back to me on if it worked or not. But I am assuming it did work, otherwise I imagine they would continue to complain :P

If the problem persists I can look into further and offer a new avatar.

progress

Damn this photoshop business has been a pain in my ass! All these troubles running into to sort out and figure how all these features work to draw directly into a 3d shape. But its coming along, after allot of moaning and whining and making my hubby Valen show me. I have now a more refined picture of the dragon head to show you. Hopefully it will all start to come together more so, start to look like an avatar.

Avatar, work in progress - The start!

Well... here is the start of a new Avatar! This is just a work in progress. Actually this was a test to try and color in a sculpted object ON a sculpted object IN photoshop. Its so much easier to draw directly to the 3D model then trying to draw on a placement grid. So far I am very pleased with the ease in which this is done! There are a few "Hrmmmm?" type questions to get over but its looking promising. I sculpted the head out of my dragonborn avatar and just messed around with colors and shading. This is nothing final, its just my farting around with the tools and programs and seeing how it renders in SL.

Promising though huh!?? :)

Projects in the works -Dragonborn

Trying to figure out the newest version of photoshop, yay! :) so see about texturing/drawing on sculpted prims, rather then using the tedious method I have been of making a placement grid texture and uploading it a million of times, applying it to the sculpted prim in SL and then tweaking a million times more. Would be better if I could draw directly to the prim in a program to get the .tga I need for in world. I could probably get way more detailed and make things faster in regards to sculpted sruff.

My next project idea is floating around in my head...... Its an avatar, a Dragonborn. Had the idea for some time ever since I started to play some D&D 4th edition! I think they would be a sweet idea. I know dragons have been done a few times over now in SL but the idea for my design would still be fairly unique and I am an avid fantasy lover! Kirins are my only fantasy creature thus far. Hopefully I get it all figured out soon, cuz once I get how texturing words on 3D shapes in Photoshop, I think the avatar making should go fast! *fingers crossed*

Gah, why are my textures fuzzy!?

I decided to take a break from clothes to finally release that tobiano paint horse, the black and white version a bit over due! It was going great and then all of the sudden the textures on the body would not rez? I looked at older versions I previous uploaded and they rendered nice and crisp. So I uploaded the same texture again, and it loaded just fine. Took the horse into inventory and rezzed it again and the textures were fuzzy once more. Then I went back to change the textures from inventory, and the ones that previously were fuzzy loaded sharp, and the ones I uploaded to fix it were fuzzy! Gah! SL is such a pain in my ass sometimes!

Anyway, had to take a break, maybe its just dumb SL and later on the texture will work normally and load. But the new horse is looking good! named him Agro after shadow of the colossus. I also tried to rez a horse today and was told I didn't have enough prims in my region to rez it O.o looks like its time to get creative to save on prims. I started by putting together a rezzer for Valen to script for the horses, so people can see them all in person before buying, since I cant put them all in stalls, though I wish I could *sniffs*

I have a half region, homestead I believe they are now called. Its still to much of a financial hit to afford the tier each moth for a full sized region.




I still have ideas for more clothes XD at least I'm never lacking in ideas.
