    Brushes with Greatness

    I’ll be downloading some brushes from Obsidian Dawn shortly – it appears that they can be used with GIMP and she’s got some lovely ones for jewelry that can be used for my virtual creations. I’ll need to write a notecard to include with anything I end up making to sell on Second Life to give her credit – this post is really more of a memo to myself on that score. Obsidian Dawn Resources – Photoshop & GIMP Brushes, Illustrator Vectors, and more! These graphic design resources are free, but there are some limitations to how they can be…

    Hufflepuff For Me

    Dhughan here… very puzzled. I have just this moment discovered a knack for transfiguring myself into a very small (yet winsome) otter. I must be a late bloomer, I left Hogwarts ages ago as one of those unfortunates of society that cannot perform magic. Not to put too fine a point on it, I was a Squib and a disgrace to Pater and a source of embarrassment to Mater. This is one reason I left home in Britain and headed West, where I knew no one… and no one used to know me at school as “that Squibby chap Froobie…

    Bright Idea

    Dhughan here, making myself useful about the place. I’ve made a few changes, made a few knicknacks. For those sitting in the dark, there is now a 1-prim lamp available with that is both scientific (fractal texture) and manly (Steampunk metal detailing). Now I must create a nice club chair to sit in so that I might read the Primgraph in comfort. @DF@ Touch Fractal Lamp (1 prim c/m/nt) by Dhughan Froobert – Second Life XStreet SL Marketplace One-touch, one-prim lighting! This object emits a gentle glow when touched. Works in a Victorian or Steampunk-themed setting, suitable for a study…

    Someone Please Create This

    It’s Prad Pravithi’s totally awesome Second Life keyboard. Look at the big version, then read all the notes. Laugh, plotz, snort the beverage of your choice out your nose. My top choice: “Mute Talking Unborn Babies.” Second choice: “Purge/Lose/Sort Inventory.” And in fact, I would totally buy this keyboard if only it were available, because a one-button “rebake” or “log in as Alt 1/Alt 2” or “Random Outfit” action would be awesome.

    Finally Getting Things Done

    … just uploaded a virtual wall fountain to XStreetSL, it’s about time I made something, rather than just sorting inventory and textures! Soothing water sounds, nice textures.
