11 years... wow

"Aphrodite," I pleaded to the moon drenched sky. "Tell me, if love is meant to heal, why does it destroy those who choose it?" From somewhere beyond the clouds, I heard the Goddess laugh. And I knew. N. Gill.

just another day in the sl universe... just a simple look, which is..kinda nice

Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need We get a little restless from the searching Get a little worn down in between Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea Brother let me be your shelter Never leave you all alone I can be the one you call When you’re low Brother let me be your fortress When the night winds are driving on Be the one to light the way Bring you home hard to pass up a good pic anyway, enjoy the mood.. the lyrics are from Needtobreathe.

in that order...

Also, not mentioned here, is your viewer set to have Hardware skinning enabled in your Graphics setting? What you showed in the pic, it happens with some mesh if that particular setting is not clicked.

I wanted to show the cool new update to Tonic's bodies which included an addition for nipple/aureola appliers to fit any skin, buuuuttt.. I can't so here is the link the blog post where you can indeed see them.. http://bubblegumpop2013.blogspot.com/2018/04/tonic-body-update.html in the meantime, here is a pic ... I Could Have Sworn That You Were An Angel 'cause You're a Sweet, Sweet, Sweet, Divine Thing But I Should Have Known That You Were the Devil Dressed Like a Sweet, Sweet, Sweet, Divine Thing...

Yea, just a bit jaded I think.. thanks for the virtual hug xoxox

Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And yet another shape I made..well, this is an older shape I started but never finished, and now it's gonna be up on MP soon-ish. I kinda go in fits of work then lots of time of nothing.. sometimes I just can't be bothered lolol. But anyway, I am wondering what to call the shape..thought of Anja, anyone else have any other ideas?

Syn, no worries at all! It is actually the dress, and also the breasts on the Belleza Freya body are just.. well.. rather out there too. I usually have to bring them in and go all the way to the right on the gravity slider, but sometimes its fun to play with them, no pun intended! I make my shapes all mod, so people can tweak what they want. I find the boobs on Belleza to look more like torpedos and often have to really move them around to fit more naturally. Anyway, I am glad you like the shape though!

Intuition is real. Vibes are real. Energy doesn't lie. Tune in. xo

green eyes and red hair... xo once more making a shape for Catwa Lona and Belleza Freya.. should be up on MP soon..used skin appliers by Alaskametro and they are so pretty!

playing around with the Lelutka Chloe head and the new Belleza updated bodies..raw shot on this one..

completely raw...

I have to admit I NEVER bought a premade shape since I learned early on how to create shapes with faces I liked. Then I had lots of people like them so I just gave them away, copy/mod so they could edit at will. I found that so many premade shapes are completely off in proportions (even just basic where the torso should end vs where the fingertips should end, etc). Alot of people don't want to make their own shapes, just like some don't want to take their own photos, etc. I guess everyone has their strengths and likes ! I have never had to export.. I just copy the shape if I like the face, then just edit the body to suit what I like. Then again, when I blogged I also let go of all needs to stay the same. I created a shape a day almost, just on a whim, to change this or that on a face, or just to look different. I really enjoyed the variety of faces and bodies that could be combined, once you add the skin and hair and outfit. I guess for me I like showing people how to get proportions correct, then they can do whatever they want to the body. As for faces, I also stick to the proportions of where the eyebrows end and where the mouth edges should hit, etc. All of this comes from my art/human figure drawing background. My teacher always said, learn the rules so you can learn to break them! I think if people start with a good, well-proportioned shape they can do whatever they want to it to suit their look

Everyone has probably replied but "best" is really subjective and up to you. I personally like the universality of the Maitreya Body, and I look at a few factors: I own Maitreya, Tonic, Belleza (all three) and Altamura and Slink hourglass... 1. lovely skins included ( from Glam Affair) 2. includes Bento hands and feet (Slink does not include feet or hands in its bodies as of last I checked, and I own the Slink hourglass) 3. Maitreya tends to have more availability of clothes made for it, but that has changed and there are many designers making clothes for all the bodies as well 4. more customization ability: that means that I can make it slim, curvy, or somewhere in between and the lines of the body work well with all of those. Belleza, Slink and Altamura have , in my opinion, less universal application for all the different body shapes. In other words, I can make my Maitreya look like Slink Hourglass as well as what the Freya body looks like. 5. I've used all the bodies, and I tend to always go back to Maitreya because for all the reasons listed above, but also because the HUD is easy to use, and doesn't lag like a mofo! for me, Belleza's HUD is a huge lag monster. Slink is more complex than I need, as well as Altamura. Tonic's is the next easiest one to use. But, Maitreya to me takes the cake on its HUD. In the end, however, it all depends on what appeals to you and how you want your shape to look like. I'd always suggest trying out a demo and testing it with as many various shapes and skins as possible to decide. Good luck!

I've not been around much and decided to stop blogging and flickr alltogether, and I realized that opened up some time for me to do other stuff on occasion, like make poses and make pretty shapes for the mesh bodies and heads out there. I've been fiddling around with shapes for the Utilizator Normie Bento head and I put that up on MP , and then I decided to take all the shapes I had made for me personally for my Catwa Bento heads and start seeing if anyone else may want them. I tend to make them proportionate and yet stick to a slightly curvy body. I figure someone out there might like it, right? If anything it gives me an exuse to play dres up Here is one I just did and is up on MP now for Catwa Catya cheers!

Made some new poses, posted a set on MP, and also finally loaded the Mia shape for the Normie head up on MP too I'm not on SL for anything else now, so its nice to pop in and do something productive. I hope people like that shape!

Decided to make a shape for the Utilizator Normie Bento head..and here it is Probably will put it up on MP for cheap, cos I don't do this to make L.. just for fun.

So I can't log on today but here is what I looked like last night Out shopping and having a coffee..learned how to texture mesh and worked on some poses for blogging and pics.. have to say its a good day!

This was done for flickr, for #Pryce Body Language Challenge. The goal was to be given an image and to have you recreate it as closely as possible in SL. I do love a challenge
