It is with some embarrassment that I announce that my small shop in St John (City) has closed. It is with great satisfaction that I announce that I will be sharing shop space in St John Parish with Miss Lela once the virtual debris is cleared away from renovations.
Dhughan here, after a long break rambling about at random. My new shop in St John, a city based on New Orleans circa 1915, has opened softly. Or is that “soft opened?” Perhaps it has come in on little cat feet, tapping along with a stick in the mirk. In any case, it seems I’m in need of a new logo, or brand or somesuch marketing whizzery, so here it is for now. Subject to change at the drop of a hat. It links to my Flickr page, where many product photos live, and where many more new product photos…
Huzzah and such! A new product (actually, a pair of them): In honor of the newest Doctor, the walking stick of the First Doctor. This is a common country-gentleman style, so it’s not limited to SF roleplay. via Second Life Marketplace – @DF@ Timelord Walking Stick – Light Ram's Horn. I’m very happy to get this done, it’s been a hard slog of prim-twisting, image-wrangling, and animation-tweaking (not to mention script-monkeying). Good Lord, is that the time? Doesn’t matter, just hop in the old TARDIS and arrive just in time for breakfast, well rested! The sticks are in honor of…
Dhughan here, having got my stumps under me and motivated, here’s a new walking stick at last: Silver and Ebony Walking Stick – Walk Like A Gent! There are actually 2 sticks, one is compatible with the basic AO that is included and also the Gentleman Jim AO by Posture is Everything (Kamilah Hauptmann, proprietrice) and the other is compatible just with the basic AO. The second one is provided as a backup for those who’d like to try adding more animations to the config card. IM me inworld if interested in knowing how. The bally Marketplace wasn’t working, after…
In addition to the product update, I’ve also become aware that Spring has Sprung at last. Thanks to a truly generous promotional offer called “the Blue Bunny Hunt” 21strom, I was able to bring on the spring at the Steelhead Nature Preserve. It’s been a long, hard winter for many, so it’s a pleasure to make this parkland available for all. Later on, there will be new green and autumnal trees as well. The black-and-white Zen-looking poseballs are for tai chi. The poses are very high quality and smooth. There are chiming trees scattered around that give autumn and summer…
Yes, yes, all very well; I have finally had some hours (HOURS I SAY) to myself to muddle through a product update. It’s only been 65% complete for ::mumble mumble:: weeks now. But at last I am more than happy (and quite relieved) to release an improvement to one of my somewhat popular products: “Without my walking stick, I’d go insane… I can’t look my best, I feel undressed without my cane.” IMPROVED – Textures have been thoroughly refreshed to add a more Victorian design aesthetic. Includes the previous version, which is plainer and not as detailed. The animations are…
Time for boycat Dinkies and male Tinies to have a decent walking stick with simple animations – so I started to adapt the Ivory Walking Stick, which is old enough to need some freshening up. I started by testing some nicer textures for the ivory, and setting it in a sort of cup-bezel with engraved silver fittings (I may play with materials a bit if they don’t add greatly to the land impact (LI). Then I resized it to the right length for a Dinkie or Tiny avatar, and got the pos/rot information with a script so as to update…
Hallo, Dhughan here, back from the not-quite-dead. Whilst reading the excellent “Second Life Newser” I ran across this item: Being a community where mad scientists are respected, Steelhead has seen many interesting creations. Question is, what would these creative minds do when asked to make a snowman? Well, the steampunk community is about to find out, as leader TotalLunar Eclipse has announced a snowman building contest. The rules are, “Fifteen prims per snowman you can enter up to two times. The winner and runner up will have their unique snowman displayed in front of town hall until the snow thaws…
Yes, I’ve been motivated lately – not only did I just list this at the Marketplace: A simple antique rug, well worn but carefully kept, enhances any decor. This one has paler, more subtle colors and more vertical lines and angular designs in the corners. via Second Life Marketplace – @DF@ Antique Rug Egyptian Revival. But I also have this for sale in my NEW SHOP in Steelhead City, as well as in the Tweddle outlet shop: Currently I’ve only had time to load it in inworld vendors, but will add it to the Marketplace presently. I have some exciting…
I have been absent of late bumbling around in the typist’s life of so-called “reality,” but I happened to log in to deal with a customer service issue yesterday, and resolved to log in today to get more chores done. I missed the 3rd Birthday gift for Firestorm, but I had a different special gift in my trousers when I logged in. Special Gifts Firestorm Kitty As a token of our thanks and appreciation, we teamed up with KittyCatS!, who have put together the most amazing custom collectible pet to give away to you as a gift. The Firestorm Kitty…
