This is the first completed one of a series of outfits which I am currently working on in Second Life.

I have basically started out by creating a skin on top of which the actual garment has then been designed . For the skin, I am sticking to a more or less highly desaturated Drow theme to which I am have added tattoos, particularly on the face and the skull. I am currently working on a number of these - the one I am showing here is the first one that seems to be more or less completed.

What I am expecting to turn out to be a common denominator in all of the series is the skin. While a considerable aomunt of skin modification is obviously possible in Real Life as well, such as through the usage of make up and tattoos; in Second Life what can be accomplished in this regard is determined only by the amont of imagination and daring you wish to exercise. For this outfit, I have chosen to stick to a desaturated "Drow" theme to which I am adding tattoos, particularly on the face and the skull, but also over the breasts as well as the buttocks and gental area. For these I have used huge red ammonites created with a Filter Forge preset downloaded from the Filter Forge library, which was so beautiful that it was simply begging to be used. In fact I made three different skins out of just this one filter. I also have a black and a golden variety in the works.

The outift has been designed to go over this underlying skin layer and comes with two skirts (here you are seeing just one), two headdresses, a big one and a smaller one, both of which rotate around the head. There is also a prim collar and the leotard and boots, all made out of reptile skin - shudderily wonderful!!!

Both the skirts are stiff balloon skirts. The shown one here has two layers, the upper one of which is thick and segmented, like as if it has been made out some kind of snakey metal… brrrr… All skirt panels got attached to prim belts on both of them. Finally, the skirts and the headdresses emit light very softly, just a very subtle glow.

Hello,

We are a group of avatars in Second Life: Alpha Auer, Xiamara Ugajin, Grapho Fullstop and Furry Incognita. We design clothes, hair, skin and full ensembles in the metaverse.

All of this activity happens under the orchestration of our human handler Elif Ayiter, who in Real Life is an artist, designer and academician.

Alpha designs humanly ominous female apparel, Xia naturally soft garments, Grapho fantastic men's clothes and Furry specializes in Furry/animal design.
