Dragon Statue XI

I finished my eleventh dragon today, which is basically an upgraded Dragon X. It has all the details I wanted to give to X but couldn't with it's prim budget of 15. I doubled the prim allowance on this one to make room for the details and the difference is pretty noticeable. It was actually originally going to be the remake of Dragon V, but it ended up looking so different by the time I got done with it that it ended up being number 11 instead. I'd love to remake the unlisted dragons, II and V, and I'd also like to make the releases a lot more frequent but Jade Leaf Studio is something I only work on occasionally.. when I'm in just the right mood or struck with a sudden burst of inspiration.

Dragons 9 & 10 + Future Plans

Dusting off the Shop I've been gone for a long time but I'm returning to SL and I have resumed sculpting. Even though I've fallen pretty behind, sometimes breaks are necessary in life. Interests come and go.. and sometimes.. they even return.. usually with the help of badgering from friends. Dragons 9 & 10 Dragons IX and X have been released today which mark my first releases in ages. They are SCULPTED. Why? Maybe it's because I stopped building for years, and fell behind on mesh.. OR it could be that I'm just a stubborn old school builder.. who knows! Update: They are also MESH! I just updated both dragons to include a mesh version with.. drumroll please... MATERIALS! After what seemed like an endless stream of failures I've finally managed to produce functioning normal maps without all of those crazy artifacts and glitches I was getting. Update on Mesh I would like to say mesh statues ARE coming - but there are a few thing...

Dragon IV Update

Remember this one? No right? It's a dust-covered dragon that hasn't gotten too much love since it was first created. My question was, how to update it without losing it's original look? I played around with it a little until I got a stylized result that I liked. The original subject material was made out of copper, so I tried to reflect that with it's new default texture set. I also included a stone version to honer the original.

Koi Fish I & II Remakes

These remakes are likely my last ones in this format ( Dual Sculpt / Mesh ) as any future remakes or releases will likely be pure mesh. I had a lot of fun with sculpts and it's time to bring that chapter to a close, a couple of years too late, but if you like playing with a certain toy, there's no reason to stop enjoying it just because something newer has come along. I also released an update for Dragon Lantern II, as I was planning on updating all 3 to version R2, however, I no longer feel like finishing the other two. I'm wrapping things up, and with that, I'm also bundling together older works in the form of classic packs and cutting prices. I'm not sure where I'll go from here today, if I will continue to make statues, or branch out into other fields, such as jewelry, avatar accessories, pets, etc. ( Maybe both? ) Thanks to everyone who followed my work all this time! I got quite a lot of enjoyment out of seeing everyone's creativity and what t...
