Pin-Up

After Mae said she had entered the Dollz Magazine pin-up contest, I was intrigued enough to go check it out. I hate to admit it, but I had to go shopping to find something that was appropriate for the pictures. I'd already picked up the hair (Lola) at Comme il Faut during a sale they had earlier this month. I wandered all over the grid, looking for something that I thought was right. I ended up at Ingenue. The lingerie is Be Mine. The shoes are Baby Monkey bow-trimmed pumps.

My wonderful friend Concetta worked like a madwoman to create poses for the photo shoot. I'm certain I'll never get a chance to thank her properly for her help. She helped with the shopping, too. She still thinks I should have picked up some red pumps for this outfit, but I couldn't bring myself to part with the Lindens.

I've worked for a couple days on creating the right look. I'm not sure I've found it, but I just had to share something.

If you'd like to know more about the contest you can check it out at Dollz Magazine. The rules were updated earlier this week.

That's a Wrap

This is my favorite so far. I just had to make this one in several colors.

The Ribbed Sweater

Here is a cute little ribbed sweater in pale colors.

Tulip

I just couldn't get off the sweater kick. I created yet another sweater. This one I've dubbed the Tulip. I created more than a few colors, maybe I got carried away with that, too. Two sets of the same style, one in muted colors, the other bold.

Look for these styles at my new Tee*Squared store.... well, as soon as I get a store up. Wish me luck, I'll need luck to get a store up and running this week.

The Shrug

Pixie at Baby Monkey has set up a Yard Sale. I just couldn't resist the urge to put something out. I had been working on the shrug, a simple clothing item that I wanted and hadn't seen. There are several items out for sale at the yard sale from many different people. Check it out when you get a chance.

Super Hero

Today I created a wonderful outfit for the budding superhero.

I'm also sorry to say that I seem to have misplaced all the wonderful shoe bases that I created to make any superhero taller without interfering with their costume. I'll make another pass through my inventory, but I may just have to go back to the plywood drawing board.

It's funny how you put on a simple costume and you begin to think you're a superhero.

Shiny Pants

Here is a quick shot of my first real texture attempt. Okay, maybe it isn't an honest attempt.

I utilized the .psd files from Eloh Eliot to get an idea of where the highlights and lowlights should go on the lower body part of the female avatar.

Also shown:
Skin: FabFree -Tropical Breeze (moles)
Eyes: Brown eyes from Sh*t Happens
Boots: FreeDove buckled calf-boots
Belt: DM Flower Belt (black)
Top: Pacific Vale - Medea top
Pants: Barbara Teebrook
Hair: Calla - Daylily Brunettes (Mocha)

Tomorrow I'll try making something more useful than shiny pants.
