Fantasy Faire: The Sea Dragon's Adventure

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Kaiju, a young Sea Dragon, had been enjoying gem-combing on the ocean floor with his pet Sharkpoo when he heard the laughter of 3 women. He had never seen a mermaid before, and now there were three! He forgot all about collecting gems. The girls were so cute and excitedly talking about a great gathering of mythical creatures. He stalked them, always keeping himself well hidden. But once they were in open ocean, he couldn't hide anymore. They screamed. He screamed. And after many awkward apologies and reassurances he didn’t intend to eat them, he was invited to swim along on the journey to the Fantasy Faire! He was so excited. He looked up at the rippling surface of the water, and wondered what amazing sights he would see.

ITS FANTASY FAIRE TIME! Time to raise some funds for a good cause and celebrate all things fantasy.  Fantasy Faire website is rich with daily blog posts, a calendar of events, list of items for sale, stores and locations, information on the hud based Quest game, and more. Check it out: FantasyFaireSL website. 

I have a confession to make, of all the years I have created characters for the faire, this guy is my favorite. He just looks amazing.  I took so many pictures, it was hard to pick only one. lol (Bonus image is below). His creation was inspired by the many fun and beautiful merfolk items at the Faire. For this post I would like to highlight, a New-to-me-store, Tonkatihead. The store is on the Isles of Aquarius sim, and is full of cute and adorable creations that really give that fun festival feel like  whale shark balloons, waving sharks, ... it was just so much fun. And its not animesh, so the land impact is pretty low.  The dragon in Seadragon is proviced by the Ambix Geode Dragon Horns, Animesh tail, and dragon bento wings. They come with a hud to change out the textures. For the tail and Wings, just right click them to bring up a menu to change the animations or for static poses. For the body tattoos, I layered the fun Forest Fantasy Store's Jellyfish with Soul's Agamidae. The colorful mohawk is by Ni.Ju and comes with a texture hud for a wide range of colors. The bang can be repositioned, and its Mod. The hair bases are also mod and come in a variety of styles. The gemstone earrings are by Vortech. I so wanted to get a great image of the Aii Riptide mertail, but it was tricky to show so many things at once. You see it in the bonus image below. The tail comes with a lot of textures, has animations built in and if you right click it, you can pick animations, and a great bonus the alternative  hip style. Its wonderful and has fits for all the major mesh bodies, male and female. This is the Best Male Mertail to date! 

Also, for "Mer May," SecondLife has released several mermaid themed last names. You can read more about it on the official forum.

The Mokuren Oni

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Magnolia Oni, Mokuren, was visited by the Hell Butterfly. Time stood still and the world fell away into a strange white haze. "Am I dead?" he wondered. The sympathetic Hell Butterfly smiled sadly. "Damn. It's not right, what the humans are doing. This is sacred Oni land. The humans shouldn't be here. An Oni like me is not too strong, but I can push back. What can a tree do? Hope it's thick centuries-old trunk can break their chainsaws?" He laughed bitterly. As he lay dying, the Magnolia Oni began to reminisce about his life. The Hell Butterfly was in no hurry, she delighted in hearing his tales. As the time passed she grew to love him. Before she thought it through, she handed him her scythe. "I refuse to take you to the other side. This weapon is yours now. It's deadly to all living creatures, including humans. Use it wisely and you can protect the silent ones who can’t fight for themselves."

The 2nd second round of The Gathering has lots of lovely original mesh gachas in the fantasy themes such as Scifi, Asian, Halloween, Gor, and Medeival. It ends soon, so don't miss it.  Shown above from the Gathering is the cool Scythe by Cila, the Elf ears by CerberusXing, the AXIX Wuking mask, the Dystopia Wings by E.V.E, and the excellent Moments of Contemplation teahouse set by 22769 ~ [bauwerk]. The Magnolia tree and horns are by AIR. The Kimono is by Silvery K. Hair Jeal is by Ayashi and comes in rigged and non-rigged. Eyes are by S0ng on sale at Nightmares. And eye makeup is by Lovely Disarray. The Achelous horns by Souzou Eien include headdess jewerly, but for my image I went for a more simple horn style. The horns are mod, so you can change them how you like. For Slink Male body users, you can pick up an applier to match your favorite skins. The appliers will automatically apply to the hands and feet too. Nice! .....Stay tuned because my Blogger Bat buddy Aarya Phamtomhive will be bringing you the 2nd part of this story as the Hell Butterfly.

World Goth Fair: What We Do In Cursed, 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: It had been one year since the walls around Cursed fell. Those imprisoned in the City of Cursed for being "dark" won their freedom at last! Scarlet, the leader of the Rebellion, was finally reunited with her long lost sister Elizabeth. Their joy was overwhelming. But like any sisters, they eventually had some disagreements.... At first the arguments were over little things like clothing borrowing without permission. Just normal sisterly squabbles, right? Well, mostly. Only a sister of Darkness would threaten to add her sister's head to the collection if the Baron La Croix's sacred skull was not returned immediately.

I'm so happy I was able to return to the Elizabeth and Scarlet plotline from last year. It felt unfinished to not show their reunion last year. But since a year has past, well..., Elizabeth is discovering some of the unpleasant sides of her older sister. lol

The Femdom throne and Gullotine at by Unkindness. The set is a new release for ROMP. The Queen of Hearts throne includes several sitting positions, and the guillotine has a uncomfortable pose for the naughty. The Kendo Sword by Souzou Eien is from the current Anime round of Genre. It comes script with changeable holding poses, or unscripted. You can mod, so I added a red tint to the grips. The Rose cane is by Chaos Panic and Disorder on sale at World Goth Fair. And the Gothic endtable, cognac, and glass are by 22769 ~[bauwerk] on sale at World Goth Fair. The Skull is a group gift from Contraption and the Baron's top hat comes from the Tableau Vivant Samedy hair set. ... Scarlet is wearing the jacket by Dark Water Designs on sale at World Goth Fair. The system corset and fitted mesh skirt with texture hud are by Sakide. The Charlotte boots are by Bliensen + MaiTai. They come in red or black and have a texture hud to change decoration on the boot from rose to raven. Scarlet's pose by Black Tulip is one from the Lost in the Woods set, on sale at WGF. ....

STORYLINE: Despite their differences, (and silly arguments over who is the hottest Hottie in Cursed), Elizabeth and Scarlet had a bond so strong the wall that kept them apart broke first.

The hats and Scarlet's necklace are from the deviousMind gacha at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. Each item has 5 colors you can select from a popup menu. Scarlet is wearing the Crystal Spider hat and collar and it makes me happy since the Spiders are a symbol for the Rebellion in my Cursed storylines. ...The collar on Elizabeth is by Sweet Lies, also at the Fnatasy Gacha. ...The white bat on Elizabath's shoulder and the red bat by Scarlet are from the Arkham gacha by Swagga. They're so awesome! Best looking bats in SL! ... Both Scarlet and Elizabeth are wearing the Chelo hair by Olive on sale at the Dark Style Fair. You can get a simple color pack, larger color pack, or fatpack. You can color the streaks separate from the back of the hair.

World Goth Fair has released it's DJ schedule for the big day, World Goth Day on May 22, and it's even longer than in the past! Schedule below. WGF has lots of staggered releases, some will be released on May 22nd for World Goth Day, so be sure stop by and enjoy the tunes.
