while i'm here

I'm suppose to be researching...but i'm cyber loafing instead :D

The background was creeping me out! So i changed it XD I need to update my banners, but this require effort that should be going to my midterm assignments. haha.

Oh don't know if i said it, but the store is up. The marketplace has the more updated items, just ont all of them until i get time to create the ads. I will work on updating the store asap. If you tp to the store, there is a door you can go to. It will teleport you to the location of Creative Motivation and Fizz (which is Violina's store). Also there is a freebie store there. (Yay freebies! I'm a freebie horder, so i love finding ways to make freebies...this is also why a lot of my items are 1L and majority of them under 100L. hehe.)

What people don't know is I have more freebies at the store than in the marketplace. Marketplace only has one. The store has ten or so. Near the teleport door is a freebie too. I think only five have found it so far :P I do this as a thank you to those who stop by the land and go to my store.

Now...back to homework >.>

sad update :(

Sometimes rl interferes with creativity....and other times we can do stupid things...which is what has happened. I dropped my laptop and lost everything i was putting in sl.....so working on getting computer fixed while trying to keep up with school work. I will have to remake everything I had, which was mostly clothes I was going to release. Luckily the pony skirts i made were uploaded before all of this happened. I will have things backed up, but I am not sure what since my last back up was in april. (Yeah i'm lazy :D)

Oh well. :D not all is lost. Just a new start for more creations.

RANDOM! :D

I have a new shirt that I have named Randomness. Its a cute little artistic tshirt for you to wear

if interested, its here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Randomness-Shirt/2545954

New releases!

I have new items after being gone for a long abstance! YAYAY :D

First off, I have my favorite new item called the "Hi! Mouth Card" This is a cute little card fits into your mouth and lets you say hi. Any one can wear it. I wear it in my furry form. I do warn you, I have made it for a human avatar. So, it may hide under the head of a furry when you first attach it.

Next is my newest tattoo release. It is a back tattoo with a bloody skull on the back. I made it for a male. It could go on anyone. As usual with all my tattoos, i can place it some where else if someone is desiring the tattoo in a different location.

Last is a new series of tattoos I made called Lotus. I placed in different areas, allowing different placement options.

Curious? want to see more?

SHIRO!

"Ganta!" *POUNCE*

hehe. I love Shiro from Deadman Wonderland. For months, I have pondered making her outfit...and now i have!

It is up and for sell now! Now, you can look like shiro. But theres more! :P This is only version 1. I will be updating as soon as possible with full version of outfit, neckbrace, and boxing gloves...maybe even a full avatar!

For now, enjoy

Just in time for mardi gras!

Our bell is dressed for the mardi gras ball in New Orleans...but alast!....no one to go with...oh what shall she do! She feels all dressed up...but no where to go...

This mask is unique because it is for the tattoo layer. It fits exactly to your face. It comes in three versions and is sold in three style packs. The first one i thought would be good for men to wear. As a female, it didn't really suit me.

This style is more suitable for females. It gives lips. If you look at the two photos, you will notice that because it forms to your avatar then it will be shaped by your own avatar's shape. You can reshape the lips or which ever parts you wish.

This version allows you to have the decorations of the mask without it completely covering your face. Its my personal favorite. :P I can show me but still have that Mardi Gras flavor to my 'mask'.

There are three versions you can buy for this item in.

First one is the tattoo layers. Tattoo layers are textures you can add to any modifiable tattoo so that you don't have to remove your current tattoos. I find this very convient for many people since make up and many other things are now done on the tattoo layer.

Second one is the actual tattoo. It comes with three tattoos you can add to your body so you can wear all three styles as you wish.

Third one is both the layers and the tattoos.

All my items are copy/mod. They are also not expensive. Just 1L for the tattoos or layers and 5L for the pack of both. Its for mardi gras! I think we should all enjoy it and not pay a ton of L for it. :D

Happy Fat Tuesday everyone!

now who wants to be my date? :D

Updates!

I know I've been gone. Many things in rl have been going on and keeping me busy. I haven't even been able to set up vendors at my inworld store. For now, i say visit my marketplace store https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/66225 I've updated my items. As I learn and grow, I see what I want. I felt my items right now shouldn't cost much. majority of my items are 1 or 2 L, not much more. I have a few for 10. I just felt they should be that price. The japanese house is 100L, but thats cause its not mine. hehe. Drake Elman made it, so its set for his price.

But yes, nothing I have made is more than 10L. I'll be coming out with more items once rl settles. I expect that to be april or may. Hoping to learn more skills. Friends and people volunteering their time are helping me learn what I need to know to become better at what I do. I'm very appreciative of their help. Its good to have people and networks to be there for you.

Back to that thing we call rl ;) I'll update if i get time to add anything to the store or any changes happen.

Enjoy your day!

Freebies and Pictures

First off, I have more freebies. Shape, skins, hair, two shirts, and anything I can think of to help someone just starting out. Also remember you can get clothes at fab free. I love that place :p

I'm also offering up pictures, collages, and so forth. Its just sorta fun for me. The one above was just one I did cause i was bored. :p So if you want a creative profile picture or any type of picture done, just ask. Small charge, but I'm not expensive. hehe.

Edit: XD Just realized it said 1009 instead of 2009 really shouldnt type when i'm tired. Sorry! Fixed version is below.

Two announcements!

I love sharing my experiences learning, but I think I should seperate them from my business page. So, i've created Creative Design to blog about those experiences. It will share what i'm learning in photoshop and my experiences. My main av and I will be blogging on it. most likely you will see it from my main avatar. I'll share releases and so forth on this page.

Also, i'm creating a freebie area at my store on envision. Most of the items will be free at the store and 1L on the marketplace. Its a slow building process because I don't have my regular computer. Its been in and out of the shop at best buy. Keeps melting the insides. It is very strange. I'm using an old computer that is slow but its determined to work.

Screwy with clothes.....

So the other day i attempted clothes and got this....

This is while designing and trying to figure out how it works. Sorta didn't know I needed it to be a certain way.. XD

This is what it looked like saved as a png....below is just a blogger screw up :p I hate hte new uploader format. Can't fix things how i want them or upload multiple pictures at once.

This is the back of the shirt. Below is the side of it. The opacity was too low so it came in like that. I'm suppose to raise it back up when i upload XP Learned a few tips and tricks last night about it from Dream Resistance's tutorial. Was really helpful in some things i was missing. She has a great one on wrinkles. I'm slowly learning to pay attention to details. Maybe a month or so before i am able to sell my own clothes.

This is my first shirt I made on the first. Not great or what I wanted, but i tried....I didn't like how it looked so i did a second shirt to see if it would help (Little did i know blur was an issue of mine)

Last night XD was interesting cause i had been trying out different methods the past few days....easily summed up in the below picture from this morning...

haha yeah obviously wrinkles and so forth make it more.....realistic...but you can't draw on the color layer...it'll get smugged and messed up. :P But no matter how much i try...I always some how end up on the wrong layer. haha

Oh well my venture into clothes is not over. I'm still determined to make clothes. I really enjoy it. I have been trying to contact others and network for help and to figure out how this so called SL fashion community works. Its good to have others to help and inspire.

clothes!

no i haven't succesfully made clothes :P I'm starting though. I am stuck irl at home for the next two days. A blizzard is on its way. It looks pretty bad on the radar. The roads are already iced thick. So, why not go on youtube to learn to make clothes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSZt0yObxKw heres a starting point for a few of you. I have yet to find excellent ones that i would highly suggest. I prefer something with a voice that instructs while it talks. I learn better that way. My attention span is very short at times. There are a few like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGDb0IKdFEk that are alright. I'm very much against the "kit" ones. I think you should make your own stuff instead of buying cut and paste pictures for literally everything you do. Thats just no effort what so ever.

now back to learning!

The more i think....

I think I may sell my tatts as textures.. Think about it, the new tattoo layer lets you place tatoos everywhere. I know people who used many layers to have this before. Why take this away? So instead of creating only a tatt and selling it that way...I will give the option of having it as a texture thats sold as no transfer....and maybe another feature....not sure.

yeah yeah, i know sellers are worried about their stuff being copied and such. For one, I probably won't make it more than 50 L until i get better at this. I want my items to be of the best quality. its going to take months to do that. Two, people are going to do this either way if they really want to. I can take pictures of a person's tatts in sl then cut them out and turn them into my own. its a very simple process. So, I can't stop them either way if its what they really want.

I'm enjoying my sl and releasing my creativity. thats all that matters to me right now ;)

Sparkly!

The tatt actually doesn't sparkle. Haven't learned that technique yet, but it is pretty. Its a face tatt that comes in three forms; eye, full side of the face, and both sides of the face....here' s pictures....

Oh blue things are my skin i got from curious kitties. They have the most creative things there!

Had to lift my headband so you could see the whole design on the side of the face

On both sides

below is around the eye

it doesn't end

So yes....I'm constantly creating more tattoos. its sorta crazy, but I haven't stopped for over 12 hours. Its too much fun. they all consist of some sort of flower, mostly roses, for a reason. I have found others to do. I will possibly put these up for sale later when I have time. The above one is a blood rose i was putting in various places to see what I could do with it and what i'd need to adjust. I love what can be done with tattoos. Below is a tattoo my main avatar is going to probably get whipped for by her dom, but its so funny. Its an emo duck tattoo. We may sell that for the emo lovers out there. I have to get Eaving's permission first since she designed it.

Success!

So i've been exploring tattoo design. Today I had success!

Yes, that is my back. I wear random looks. I figured that one might make it easier to see the design. I'm getting better with designing. I still have much to learn, and plan to do so. I want to be able to do any type of tatt without thought...but thats what takes in experience. I'm just excited i finally got this to work how I wanted.

Welcome to Creative Motivation

The first post...to most its a monumental occasion that requires much detail and information while telling how great the store is and the big plans it shall have!!....you came to the wrong page.

Hello! My name is Naveh Serenity. I manage and own Creative Motivation and the land Naveh, hence my name. I'm actually a very simple girl. You won't see any of that big or anything fancy.

What you will see is me creating and sharing my experiences while showing you what is available. As with all businesses in second life, things will change over time as i learn and adjust. I do plan on creating tattoos, clothes, learning to create textures, and various other things. Second Life is my creative outlet...and I plan to use it as so. I've been creative most of my life and admire the arts. That will probably reflect as well as various parts of my personality through my work...so welcome...I hope you become motivated to create also!
