A2NZ: When creativity goes global

I went pumpkin-shopping at the trick or treat costume fair! (I think that's a direct link to my booth; I don't have a landmark to the main point, but the set-up is such that it doesn't matter where you start from) :DRead more

(Way to go, I clicked "post" before writing anything. I'm the best at blogging. Not.)

Austie sent me a mock-up of my booth for the Trick or Treat Costume Fair. After having sent a couple of boxes 3000 kilometers up in the sky, I think I've finally managed to get it ready.

I only need to set up the landmark giver and the "join our group" box.Read more

Reasonable Desires is planning a great event: the Trick or Treat Costume Fair, which will take place from the 24th to the 30th of October on the Platinum Sim. More info here.

We at A2NZ are happy to be one of the sponsors of this event. I've made two outfits for it. One is the Hevea Bee, which you've seen in a previous post: it's my entry for the fashion show and the costume contest.Read more

October is one of the most perfect months of the year to wear crazy costumes.
It is also the end of summer. Bees are going to sleep, and how I miss them!

So, you guessed it: I've made a bee costume! It's cuuuuuute. Completely inappropriate for Halloween... ^.^

I've made two headbands for it: one with antennas, and one without.

Fly to A2NZ main store.

OMG! That's the new shading for my rubber, shown in its midgrey (test) version. And I haven't even worked on the seams yet! I think it's getting there, right?

And the best bit: I'm working on an outfit based on this shading system, and it will cost 5L$. Yup. More in a next post, once I can give you a preview or a live pic of the not-quite-free outfit!

Can you tell I'm excited? :D

I made a cute little something in Blender, just for fun. I like it, so I think I'm going to include it in my next outfit.

It's a one-prim sculpted flower. I'll see what I can do with it. :)

I finished my wrestling outfit!
I've even made a free wrestling ring to go with it. I made it in Blender, and baked the textures of the mat and of the platform. What an interesting experience!

I suppose you could just leave the wrestling ring in your inventory and go for a mud-wrestling session instead, of course. :pRead more

Just a quick note:
I'll be away for a week. Please contact Abyssin Otoro for customer requests. :)

Advancement of the wrestling outfit:

I still have a lot of work to do on this outfit. I decided to add a sculpted hood, without which a wrestling outfit wouldn't feel quite complete, so obviously I haven't finished yesterday, and I won't even finish it today. For a start, I need to texture the hood, and well oh, I don't have an exact idea of what I want yet.

Still, I'm happy where this is going. Go figure, I had tried making a wrestling outfit one year ago, and had failed because of the male torso! So this one has been nagging me for quite some time :)Read more

A wrestling outfit.

I've had to re-start from scratch a few times, as I was not satisfied at all. It now looks like it's getting somewhere!

So, well, I'm roughly two weeks late with this release, and I won't have any access to internet next week at all. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it today -- I'm not sure.
