48 new poses out now!

This was quite a challenging set. It takes quite a long for anyone in RL to be bendy enough to do Kung Fu. Trust me it’s bloody painful to do. But with the SL avatar’s considerably less range of motion than us, well… there were a few times I was about to reach through my computer and thump LL on the head.

While I mainly do San Shou (Chinese Kickboxing), once or twice a week I take a Wushu class. It’s a really pretty sport if you’ve never seen it. So these poses are inspired from that. Some of these I can do, others I know how to do but I can’t bend like that yet, some I’ve seen others do in class, and a small amount I found on the net.

Right now they are only available in the new stuff section. I woke up today only needing to do the final uploads and adverts, but what should have taken 2 hours ended up being 7. Why? Because SL wouldn’t let me upload. And I have to leave for my Wushu and then Wushu Weapons classes. And about now I’m really needing it. Should be in the main sections tomorrow.

So I’m working on new stuff for the Fashion Fest charity event this year and decided I’d send a shout out to you lovely people on what types of poses you want to see.

I need to make at least 3 different things with at least 1 being a limited edition for a silent auction. As you can see from the plethora of new releases lately, I’ve got ideas coming out of my ears, but I’d like to hear what you guys want. So respond here or IM in world with ideas and/or pictures.

And of course the person who gives an idea I use gets a free copy.

Clicky for more information on the event.

I don’t usually do this. I try to read reviews of my poses and send out personal thank you’s to the bloggers in question, but I know I miss quite a bit. I’m just not in the know anymore in that scene. Honestly, the only ones I see anymore are the ones I’m told about. I just have a lot on my plate these days with trying to balance SL, RL and making stuff.

Because of SL’s dichotomy of creativity = personal I try not to comment publicly on the basis of hurt feelings. If I comment on 1 I should comment on all. Then there comes a post when you just can’t not say anything. A review of your stuff that is so comprehensive of the details that are generally over looked but what you actually spend the most time on. It can make your day/week/month/year.

Creating items in SL is inherently depressing. Most of the time you spend pouring all of yourself into your work hoping someone somewhere will also find value in it. And generally you are all by yourself in front of a computer for countless hours at a time. So reading anything about your stuff (especially in a positive light) makes our days brighter.

So I thank you bloggers.

Rebuilt the sim again. Above is the new map. The separate sections now boutiques instead of everything in a mega box of doom.

I also have cut the scripts down by 1/2 with putting the couples poses into vendors instead of all those poseballs laying about. It’s helped with the lag quite a bit.

Posting this early cause I’m already running late for drinks with a friend. Don’t think I’ll be back in time…
