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!
