Reindeer Games

Well, as always, I'm going crazy with Christmas in SL ...by buying too many outfits and accessories! Christmas is my favorite time of year, so there you have it. I'm trying to let you know my next 2-3 posts will be Christmasey :P

I ran across this cute "reindeer" outfit by SayaNicole Cuttita of Envious Creations recently and had to show you. It's made of a brown and white suede-like material with lovely white fur trim. It also comes with precious candy cane antlers, boots, socks, and bracelets. Please click the pictures below to see it enlarged and more in detail. In the last two pictures below I am wearing antlers by Epic. They are just perfect because they light up and include a Rudolph red nose! I just wanted you to see another optional piece you could use with the outfit.

Hers and His: Elvenbreath and Dragoneyes

Selina Forder of Elvenbreath recently came out with another beautiful elven outfit of black leather and silver tones. It is classic, but very unique and simply gorgeous. Avana includes the following pieces within the box: jacket, pants, shirt, collar, skirt, upper sleeves, lower sleeves, and shoulderparts. Please stop by her store and see ALL her lovely designs.

Selina has also added another part to her store called Dragoneyes. Tiesto is wearing a design from this store called Saerembor and includes pants, undershirt, shirt, gloves, jacket (belt), armor chest with staps and without straps, belt, fur scarf, details for upperarm, details for forearms, details for upperleg, and dagger (boots not included). It is also made of black leather with silver tones like Avana. Obviously Dragoneyes focuses on men's fantasy clothing and accessories. It is directly across from Elvenbreath at their new location. Not only are her designs a must see, her store set up and grounds are delightful!

Fabulous Fur

Elvina Ewing did it again! She is truly the Queen of fantasy wear in Second Life! This amazingly gorgeous ensemble has to be one of her best yet, at least one of my favorites. It's a beautiful fur-lined armor set called Ulfhildr and can be purchased at Elvina's store, Caverna Obscura, or at the marketplace. I don't like real fur in real life, but Second Life is a different story. The outfit comes in Brown or Grey (I'm wearing the Brown) and has 29 total and optional pieces included, including the boots. There are so many different ways you can mix, match, and layer and each and every piece is intricately detailed. The fur itself is so realistic too! This is a must have for any elf or fantasy creature, plus, if you've never visited Caverna Obscura, you are missing out!

Chic Elf

Wow, has it been that long since I've posted a blog? I'm sorry I've been so behind! I've had so much going on in both real life and Second Life lately. In Second Life, the newly renewed gallery is finally done, so please stop by Enchanted and visit when you can :) Okay, now, back to the post :P I happened to spot a gorgeous new outfit called Marlene recently at EMO-tions and had to splurge. I love it because for one, it's very classy and chic, and elves can be both you know! I absolutely love the way this outfit is cut and designed. It's all once piece, but looks like a blouse tucked into slacks. What I absolutely love the most is how the pants follow the lines of your waist and hips with the top of the pants (waistline) hitting just below your chest. It's super flattering and very elegant. There are many optional pieces, including a high collar that can be on or off. It also has just the right touch of feminity with lovely lace trim on the blouse. Overall, the outfit can be worn for business, pleasure, and nice occasions...very versatile indeed :)

I'd like to dedicate this blog to my wonderful friend and sister, SeleneLily. She was kind enough to send me this stunning elementalist outfit as a gift! I knew right away it was one of Surreal LeShelle's designs, which are always to die for. Her store is filled with beautiful costumes of so many different styles. They are all of high quality and contain many optional pieces. This Deep Waters elementalist outfit came with the wand and also has a shape you can use if needed. It also comes with either gold or silver trim. This elementalist design also comes in Twilight (purple/blue), Seashore (light aqua), Blood Vine (red), Witching Hour (black), Evening Shadows (purple), and Enchanted Forest (green). Surreal has her main store called Deviance and we also have a small version of her store on Enchanted of Elven Realm. Please stop by and see all her wonderful designs!

Fantasy Art Focus: Shoshisn Shilova (aka: Serg Sonnino)

Guardian of the Forest (taken at Enchanted of Elven Realm)

It's been a while since I've done a blog focusing on one of the many talented Second Life fantasy artists, so thought I would dedicate this blog to a wonderful artist who also happens to be a good friend of mine. His name in Second Life is Shoshisn Shilova, but he also goes by Serg Sonnino on flickr.com. I'd like to start with a quote he truly lives by and I believe is one reason he is such an exceptional artist...

This is the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner. Then we can really learn something.

In the beginner's mind there is no thought, "I have attained something." If you keep your original mind, the precepts will keep themselves. ~ Shunryu Suzuki

Shoshisn's work isn't only fantasy, but he does have quite a bit of fantasy art in his collection. His works are very unique and more of a contemporary, fractal style art. He also seems to favor artwork from nature and includes special people in his life as an integral part of many of his works. He is a graphic designer and photographer by trade in real life, so has brought this wonderful talent here to Second Life for everyone to enjoy :) Shoshisn just recently opened a brand new gallery called, Mother Earth Gallery. This is a must see and has all of his many works displayed including photographs and sculptures he has created in game. I will leave the URL below along with his Flickr stream link. I think the best way to describe and sum up Shoshisn's amazing talent is the fact he can take any simple picture from Second Life and turn it into a true masterpiece! He just has an eye for turning the basic or mundane into spectacular artwork. Now THAT'S talent!
