The Fall of Prince Ravenna, 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Suddenly, a fiery serpentine dragon roared down the great hall of Castle Ravenna. The chains wrapped around its body glowed and dripped to the stone floor like lava from a volcano. Its bellows shook the stained glass windows. "Fool! I cannot be bound! My magic does not create beauty where none exists. It brings inner beauty to the surface for all to see." It's sharp claws encased Prince Ravenna. "You can not force me to give upon you the same blessing as the child Snow White." It's grip tightened, "but if that's what you want, that's what you shall have." A fiery glow swirled around them. When it was done the dragon's symbol was branded to the Prince's flesh and the beauty of his youth restored. "Now be careful," it said with a smirk, "least your wicked deeds ruin your pretty face."

The Seduction of Snow White, part 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: How dare the simpleton mother use black magic to make her spawn Snow White rival his good looks? Prince Ravenna's beauty was natural! He only used black magic to preserve his appearance. Why? Because when his looks began to fade, he didn't know how to survive. He always got along based on looks alone, and he absolutely could not tolerate the humiliation of others dotting on beauties much younger then him. So he made a deal with a wicked witch. The price he paid for his vanity was the curse's tale-tell hue of envy.

Oh yes I did! I made the Evil Queen a guy! Mawahahahhaha! It was fun project to reinvent Ravenna as an evil bishie. lol. The amazing crown and collar are by Gspot on sale at Enchantment. You can get in gold, black, or creme. The corset I am wearing is fully rigged for men! Dont walk, RUN go scoop up the awesomeness at Schadenfreude. The underlaying outfit is a combination of the gorgeous Vlad from Utopia and richly detailed Raider by Quality Designs. The Curio Obscura gacha coat is one I often pull out for my pompous villains. This beautiful skin is by Tableau Vivant and you can still find it for sale at the Boytown location. The hair, also by Tableau Vivant, is Beaumont and I love this cool Monsoon color of cyan and black. The Jaded eyes by Poetic Colors paired with this skin are amazing. The tintable chest tattoo is included in the Barerose set Light Dergie. The picture is taken on location at Enchantment. Love the castle and it's circling ravens.

Haunts of Halloween: Ghost vs Sorceress

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: It was supposed to be an easy victory on the battlefield. His enemy did not have the weapons, strategy, or the numbers to defeat his army. But what he didn't know was an evil sorceress used black magic to turn the tide of the battle against him. He and his beloved war horse were now cursed. He was forced to be only a specter watching over what was once his kingdom. He was helpless to do anything to stop the rampaging forces of darkness. Until one day the Sorceress made a fatal mistake. She tried to gain control over the ghost realm. Now it was his turn to dispose of her!

This was a  wonderful Halloween treat, a three person joint project between me, as the Ghost Warrior, Fulli as the Ghost Horse, and Aarya Phantomhive (of the Dark Phantom blog) as the Evil Sorceress.  If you enjoy my style of "Phototelling" then definitely check out her blog and the Sorceress's point of view on this story and even more cool photos of this scene. She excels at fun coverage on gothic theme events. The first and last images are mine, the middle two are Aarya's because I kept crashing and couldn't get this scene. Thanks for your help Aarya! 

There's a lot of great things going today for Halloween, but if you are caught without a costume, I have this great suggestion for you, and these goodies are on sale today, the last day at We <3 Role Play round October!  Rochambeau's The Hound is a complete mesh outfit, beautifully detailed, and has everything you need. Just add a skin and you are good to go! I used the Rotten Ghost skin by Fallen Gods. The staff is a wonderfully detailed by Gspot.  The Forge Boadicea headdress I won at Fantasty Gacha. The Kawashima hair by Tableau Vivant on sale also ending today at Collabor88. This hair style worked great under the helmet, and has a good period style look to it with a natural body wave and the higher cut is more like a Knight style. Fulli is wearing a fun Halloween mod, Apocalypse Horse, from Breeder's Choice. Her skin is custom mod by MISAE. Now go out there scare some people and get some treats! HAPPY HALLOWEEN Gang!!! ^^/
