A2NZ: When creativity goes global

Read more

I released the first version of this catsuit last year. With its long zip, it has always been among my favourites; I was increasingly unhappy with the shading, though -- as I've learned a few tricks since then!

After long hours spent in my lab (that is to say: Blender and Photoshop), I have finally updated the Front Zip to the latest and greatest version of my latex. I used the same system as on the Orb Weaver Web Suit; it's a reflective, liquid latex but the highlights are subdued so as to fit most lighting environments.Read more

I took a few pics of some new outfits I picked up at the Trick or Treat fair. Only one of them has made it to Snapzilla so far -- it seems to be a bit slow today.

I'll check for the rest of them tomorrow, if they're still not there I'll take new pictures.

So, for now:Read more

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

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

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
