This avatar is actually based on the newly refurbished alpha.tribe island and it is very much what it “says”: A contradictory avatar! For both ladies and gents. Also included in the package is “Fido”, a bigger (follower) version of the two head guard dogs.
:-)
After quite a hiatus, the first one back is Alpho with a unisex hybrid avatar. This one is half bird, half human and although the white feathers kind of go against it she still decided to dedicate it to the Crow, unsurpassed amongst all creatures for intelligence, humor and playfulness…
This comes with male/female skins (mature and PG versions provided), two beaks (one transparent and glowy, the other one solid), little arm wings, a feather spine, wing bloomers, g-string, and claw hands and feet.
Well, it is still the same old location, of course… I have, however, spent almost all of last week rebuilding the sim from the bottom up and images of what it looks like now can be seen here: http://alphatribeisland.blogspot.com/
But it isn’t only the architecture and the terrain that have changed. There are also new facilities, such as 2 gyms, a spa, a virtual wellness institute (run by the esteemed metaverse physician Dr. Nax), a relaxation area and even an otter sanctuary. A carousel, strange prims to play around with that will make prim rain – just come on over and see for yourselves!
And – the land options have been set up with the needs of virtual photographers and videographers in mind: You can rezz as much as you like, wherever you like – poseballs, props, rezz boxes to change your outfits… Only thing to bear in mind is the one hour return. And I have put in a lot of “scenes” which you may want to use as props as well. 6 of them are underwater, embedded into mega prims and for the 7th one you have to fly to about 20 meters above sea level and you should be able to spot it. And then, of course, there is the “Pavilion of a 100 poses”, a thingy which I had re-textured some time ago and which Frigg Ragu then turned into a true photographic/dramaturgical dream.
So, hopefully you will like it…
:-)
Our new main store location is at this slurl:
slurl.com/secondlife/Syncretia%20Annex/154/127/2
You will land underwater when you get there. This is so that you become aware of the underwater landscape of the sim and hopefully explore it a bit. If not, then simply fly straight up. The store is roughly 10 meters above sea level.
We shall miss SL Klein of course. But these are days carrying a lot of changes and decisions (hopefully good ones), and this move is all part of that.
While 2 shamans are given away as gifts at this location, I have also sent out a third one as a group gift. These two we have decided to sell and we shall be sharing the proceeds of the sales with our collaborators Frigg Ragu, MosMax Hax and Selavy Oh.
Both of these are unisex (naturally… ;-), come with skin layers onto which you attach many many things, from bull’s heads to rabbit wings. Both of them have a dark and a light version all in the same box.
And once you are all kitted out, you can just teleport to the installation and become a shaman in a world of text, sound and animation, a landscape of sculpted mountains and valleys all topped by a huge cathedral for all religions at 2001 meters!
As promised we have created three standalone headdresses which will not be developed into full avatars. So, they are available at the main store at Klein on the “separates” wall.
These are very special in that most of the prims which were used to create them come from a really wonderful application developed by Dale Innis, called the “Thingmaker”. I had been looking around for an application which creates arrays and this little wonder, which is easy enough for even the likes of me to use, seems to fit the bill to a tee. Of the three styles above the upper two are mine and the lower one is by Xiamara.
In the end however, credit really does go to Dale first and foremost for having developed this little marvel which creates the most amazing combinations. We have textured the prims to create hair, however the application also gives you stunning color combinations and transparency overlaps, such as the ones seen in the image below.
Really and truly extraordinary…
Oh and! We got lazy and only took female photos but these are of course unisex. Point in case: We have already passed them on to Dale who has told us that he has been wearing them out and about… :-)
I have been meaning to make an avatar featuring cats for the longest time. However, none of the cute stuff usually associated with the species but rather one all about evil, unruly, ill behaved cats, like I know them from my own household. So here it is folks: A completely silly avatar, festooned with a pride of very bad (and very silly) cats, for womenfolk!
Yes, sadly this is not unisex. I couldn’t figure out a way of doing it without sacrificing the skirt. But, promise, I will be getting one of the tribe’s people to do a men only avatar before too long. And if they won’t oblige – I will do one myself and that is all that there is to the matter!
So, this comes with the skin, the texture garment, the hair, separate head and shoulder cats, puff sleeves, hip puffs, two skirts (with/without cats), silk stockings with back seams, and then finally two pairs of cat infested high heeled pumps round off the ensemble:
Note: These shoes can also be purchased separately.
I have experimented a bit with the skin on this one, playing with a new, slightly more flamboyant make-up style which I rather think befits the occasion, yes?
A small explanation about the skirt cats: What I wanted to make were little trampolines for them to cavort upon. What I seem to have ended up with look more like frying pans? Well people, let me assure you – I would be the last person to stick a cat in a frying pan! If anything the opposite scenario is by far the more likely: That given half a chance my cats would make a nice little fry-up out of me! So, this really is an accident. Or the subconscious mind at work: After all, many is the time when I have found myself scooping the poop from highly unsuitable locations, meanwhile mumbling under my breath that if ever I caught the culprit, frying would be too good for them. But whether accident or Freudian blunder – the “frying pans” really do add to the silliness, so I have left them in situ…
And just in case you are wondering: I have 7 of them… ;-)
