Cobra Update


Back when I first made the cobra, I didn't know how to use any other sculpted primitive type besides 32x32. So I couldn't make a long body like what's possible with a 16x64 and as a result, it's body was split into multiple sections. That has always bugged me. I decided to rework it next knowing it was simple enough that it wouldn't take me longer then a couple days to do. I gave it a base to sit on and textured it with a golden material that I came up with after combining a few different substances together for some depth. End result = SHINY! The idea to make a gold one came from Ancient Egyptian themed statues and artifacts.

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...

Fairy Statue I

This month's release is a beautiful Fairy Statue! What makes her special is that she's my first ever full color statue, which had a stunning outcome. It separates her from my previous releases and gives her a life-like feel, but if color is not your thing, there's the usual Stone, and Marble texture sets as well. All 3 texture sets are included with and without shadow maps mixed in. The challenge was adding in more detail then my previous humanoid-type sculptures like eyes and toes, and trying to cover the overlapping joints. I've never mixed red and purple for my daily choice of clothes but this fairy makes it work! EDIT: It's a Sculpty :) I keep getting asked if it's mesh, the fact that some of you couldn't tell is saying something! Color Rules! :D

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...
