SL :: Long time no blog, and a new product!

So, I finally splurged and bought a ~*Water Horse*~ avatar.

And, because I have this character, Ruby, who is a sorrel unicorn mare, I added a horn and made it her. Which meant buying the Arabian add-on pack... But that wasn't enough, she was a little too light, so I went to The Texture Barn and got the deep sorrel texture pack.

But, of course, I can't stop there... I went to The Pony Store and got three things: The Arabian neck sculpt, the sculpted teeth, and the sculpted tongue.

I added my horn, made it green, added the texture to my tail, made a "mane" until I can make some kind of sculpted thing for it and...

Whee, unicorn. :p

But, of course, I had to make the halter's fit.

I had to borrow a friend to make the draft one, since I couldn't buy the draft version, and I also used her as a model. (Thank you, Fancy!)

But, there you go, my adventures last night. :p

WoW :: Traveling

I am mostly a Hordie at heart. Really.

But I fail to see why Blizzard thinks that it's just as easy for Alliance to travel as it is Horde.

I ditched tailoring and enchanting on my Paladin for something that'd make some money easier. The best place to level skinning, for the place I'm at, is Thousand Needles.

I get there at skinning level 207, and I forgot to train to 300 before I got on that continent. So I get to 225, and have to go back to SW because the ones on that continent are Darnassus and Exodar. :|

Travel is not as easy for Alliance. Simple as that. It's a pain in the ass. I can travel all day as a Hordie and it not bother me, but this? God.

SL :: Exceptions to the rule...

There are times where one would have really short, stumpy arms.

Like if you're a corgi anthro!

Short legs and long bodies on dogs like corgis, doxies, and bassets would require short arms and legs. This is about the only time you should be a stump. Or if you're a dwarf. Or a Munchkin cat anthro. ... You get the idea!

SL :: Dear Skin Makers

For God's sake, please do NOT use black/grey to shade a SKIN.

Observe!

It looks like I sat in soot. My knees looks like I kneeled in it. This is a great skin otherwise (well, mostly, there's obvious seams on the head if I take my hair off).

This is basic art 101. You can add black to a color to get a darker color and use that darker color to shade. You don't just shade with black on any color other than a grey. ... Shouldn't even use black then. It's too strong of a color.

Making some more room, so I can add to my store's inventory.

Hopefully clothing and reasonably priced shapes to be for sale soon.
