Devotion!

With the weather getting colder (in my hemisphere) I begin to think about warm and comfy things.  That helped inspire these knit sweater dresses.  All seven colors for one low price at Tee*Squared.

Decorous!

Yes, I did just make pencil skirts.  I didn't have one in linen, though.  This is a different mesh from the last pencil skirts.  A little lower waisted and with a wicked cute zipper in the back.  Available now at Tee*Squared inworld.

(At some point, I plan on joining my two lines and posting the new, casual clothing on the Marketplace.  I'll make sure to let everyone know when this happens.)

Play Ball!

I finally finished the work on the baseball tees.  I think they came out great.  

You can pick it up now at the inworld store.  All seven colors for one low price.

Baseball Tee

I'm still working on the color choices for this one.  I also know of at least one person that wants these in a rainbow of colors with smart-ass comments on them.  We'll have to wait to see how that works out.

This one has class!

Maybe not all that much class.  But, what do you expect out of fun-filled polka dots?

This is a work in progress.  I just managed to get the stitching on there, which I happen to love.  I need to work out the polka dots so they don't look totally messed up on the seams.  I wanted to share, though.

This one packs a punch

What have I been working on?  Here is a sneak peek at the latest from Heroic Soles.  I can't tell you when these will be available, but keep an eye on the Marketplace.

Precarious

I have made a very slight move from all super hero stuff to attempt to make something more casual.  For your everyday needs, I bring you Sassy and Precarious!

Simple leather skirts for everyday wear.  The ankle-length, pencil skirt and the just-below-the-knee version will be available in my Tee*Squared shop shortly.  Sassy and Precarious come in eight sizes (pick up the DEMO at the shop just to be sure your size is in there.)

(If I ever get the time, these will be available in shorter versions, too.)

Essence!

I finally finished up with Essence.  Scroll down to see each of the colors.  Available now both in-world at Heroic Soles and on the Marketplace.

Go, fight crime! 

Essence

I picked up another mesh template and started playing around.  I'll start with the (mostly) finished product.  You can scroll down to see the many iterations of this project.

Here it is with that big zipper put in.  I'm overly proud of the zipper.

Then, I added some wrinkles and some minor highlights.

Finally, I added some highlights and a neat leather texture.  (The texture is rather subtle, once it gets in-world, so don't be surprised if you can't really tell.)  Some final touches and this will be ready for everyone else.

By the seashore

I was helping Hazamar with a rebuild of Enterprise Bay.  We decided to build a dock and you can't have a dock without bollards and fenders. 

Anyway, I built the simple bollard on the right out of regular prims.  Sure, it is suitable, but it is three prims.  I went into Hexagon and sculpted the one on the left.  Sure, right now it is plywood, but if I can ever get Blender to spit out an ambient occlusion map it will be amazing!

Saint!

Here is the first real look at Saint, my newest addition to the Heroic Soles line. 

Available now at Heroic Soles in-world and on the Marketplace at Heroic Soles.

Scouting Ahead

Just a quick look at what I've been working on.

I finally picked up a mesh skirt that I think will be a great addition to those heroine costumes.  Now, I just need to get the colors right.

More to come during the week.

Chaos on the streets

After all that work I had to spend a little time playing dress-up.  I just called the costume Chaos from the symbol on the cape.  I really like how this one came together.   Now, I have to figure out the next great project.

Scorched again!

I finally finished getting this great costume into Second Life. 

I figured I should share the ad picture for the Heroic Pack, because everyone wants ALL the colors.  I know I do.

As a preview for the single-color ad, here is my favorite: Red!

I'll be working on getting these up on the Marketplace over the next few days.  They may be available in the in-world store even sooner.

Scorched

I kept playing with this until I got it to do at least some of the things I thought it should.  Long sleeves, sleeveless, with and without sheer panels.  I just kept going.  I really like how the colors worked out on the sheer panels.  With so many costume pieces this will take ages to get uploaded, sorted, photographed and into the shop.  I should get to work.

New Endeavors

I found some inspiration and started working on this.  What is it?  Well, I'm still working on it.  I think it will turn out rather sexy.  Still a work in process, so don't expect to see it anywhere soon. 

Hair: *Dura*The 2nd year Anniversary hair (0L$ to group members).  I just love short, messy boy hair.

Pained

With the conversion from Magic Box delivery to Direct Delivery on the Marketplace, I've been spending my time getting everything converted.  I don't care how automated they say it is, it isn't quick or easy.  It is relatively painful.  Hours and hours and hours and.... well, you get the idea.  I've got more than half the inventory converted and I'll keep working on it.  Some things will be going away as a result of this process.  A review of the items in the store has shown me what does and does not interest people. 

As soon as all this is done, I'll get back to creating new content and finishing up some of the projects I've started.

Go, fight crime!

Introducing: Statuesque

Now available!  These cute, over-the-knee, mesh boots are now available.  Menu controlled for ease of use and inventory management.  Choose from nine vibrant colors.

Designed to coordinate with Heroic Soles costumes for a great look.  (These are also available as single colors on the Marketplace.)

Check them out at Heroic Soles or on the Marketplace.

Don't forget to try the DEMO!

Addicted to Shoes

Just so no one thinks I've taken my mesh boots and run off.  I picked up this cute little blogger's bubble from aDORKable Poses.  Great fun and rather fitting.

While moving through the poses to take some good pictures of the boots, I came across this one.  It was just too good to not snap a picture of to share.

Amazing Amazon goes mesh!

I finally gave in and picked up some mesh boots to work into the line.  I went with these over-the-knee boots because it was something different. 

I spent a little time working on the texture to make it Amazing!  I think it came out just right.  I'll be adding these to the store soon.  I'm also planning on releasing them to match the current costumes I have available.

Costume style notes:
Shoes: Amazing Amazon Over-knee boots (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace (updated link))
Amazing Amazon Costume (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Gauntlets (Not available... yet)

DEMO is available on the Marketplace.

Hidden Identity

I finally got around to playing with a basic mask shape within Hexagon.  Today I did a temp upload to take a look at what I'd sculpted.

It isn't horrible, but it isn't awesome.  That just means that I'm willing to revisit this and keep working on it.  No idea if this will ever be more than a temp upload.

Mask shown with blank (all white) texture and a color (green) applied.

Gardening continues

Since there was a tutorial for making a tree stump, I decided to give it a try.

The stump was rather straightforward.  I had to create an appropriate texture for it.  The first texture is on the stump on the left.  The improved texture is the this one in the foreground.  Don't worry.  I'm sure at some point I'll be making stuff that is actually useful.  I'm just learning my way around Hexagon.

Gardening

Recently, I've been distracted by plants in Second Life.  So distracted that I had to make some grass.  How hard could it be, anyway?  Well, this is my fifth attempt.  I'm officially done making grass.  Now, I'm going to go plant a tree!

High Caliber

While I'm not done with the uploads, I have got some pictures of my newest costume add-on.  I'm calling it Caliber.  Caliber is a striped, add-on layer that can take your ho-hum costume to new heights.  Currently, I'm planning on releasing Caliber it in a total of nine colors for many opportunities to add a splash of color.

Costume style notes:
Shoes: Valorous (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Forge Spandex Suit: Gray (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Cape:  Dauntless (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Belt: Symbology (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Wide stripes in red:  Caliber (pending release)

I couldn't let the boys have all the fun, so I paired Caliber with some of the other pieces of the line.  I think I look quite heroic.  The best part about this add-on is that it is suitable for men and women.

Costume style notes:
Shoes: Color-change zip boots (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Frostbite Costume: White (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Petulant Costume: Blue (available in the inworld store or on the Marketplace)
Cape:  Resolute (not released)
Belt: Symbology (version not released)

New Release: Forge!

After hours of work, I can say that Forge is finally available.  Forge is a costume made for men.  Available in seven colors:  Blue, dark gray, gray, green, red, white and yellow.  These colors are deeper and darker than the colors used for previous costumes.  Both long and short versions are included.  Buy one color or get them all, at a discount, with the Heroic Pack.

Forge is available now at the in-world Heroic Soles store and on the Marketplace.
