Final Fantasy Fest: The Pride of the Viera

(click to enlarge)

Fulli is teamleader for this post. She's calling the shots on concept, pose, and music video. Here's a message from her: So everybody that ever played Final Fantasy 12 knows the Viera, a pretty peaceful bunny-hybrid village..., full of girls! So after talking with Dev I thought how would possibly look a male Viera? The result you can see how Dev shows so nicely. And seriously, every FF XII player asked himself at one point how a male Viera would look like, no? Also, I want to tell about the SL FF RP Sim. It is pretty amazing. Gives a nice game feeling. It is based on FF VII. The people are very nice and don't mind to help starters! Really recommended :)  Don't forget, the FFF goes till Feb 21 so when you wasn't there yet, jump on your Chocobo and off you go!

So that's how this post started, Fulli gave me the challenge to create a male Bunny Boy. lol. I used the black version of Evo's Viera's Pride and kept the eyes, scalp, eyebrow, lip, and armor. I thought long about a style of outfit that might be male Viera-ish, and the gorgeous Kung Fu pants by Jomo came to mind. They are pitch perfect. I added a quiver and belt from Pucca Firecaster from the Fantasy Gacha. The harness by Dark Prophet Designs is from a past Fantasy Gacha. The cool cheek tattoo is Reno Reloaded by Lovely Disarray, and the piercing that go with it are by Haus of Darcy. You can find both exclusives at Final Fantasy Fest. The shape I am wearing is not made by me this time, it's a creation of Aseria. It's a male on female base and made really well. This shape not available anymore, but you can browse other great shapes in his marketplace store. The skin I am wearing is once more the Sephiroth skin by Miraragon on sale at Final Fantasy Fest. The hands are the mesh demon hands by Death Row, and the black arm warmers are by Stone Baubles for Men at Final Fantasy Fest. Finishing off the look is the black leg warmers and bunny paw foot by Fiction and Chaos.  ... Fulli is wearing the complete Evo Viera's Pride. It comes with everything pictured above and also has a shape, helmet, and hair. The bunny-foot heels are really cute. Her hair is one she's been wearing a lot lately, it's by LaNoir Soleil Designs. It was from a past hunt, but you can go the LNS gift room and pick it up as well as many other incredibly excellent past hunt items. ...Now you guys be careful out there in your adorable bunny outfits, you never know what characters you might attract. Hop along little bunnies.

News Event: Sand and Sea Expo

(click to enlarge)

The first Sand and Sea Expo sponsored by Oceania Breedables runs from May 2 to the 5th. I spent the day there and had a blast. Anyone who has ever tried to make their own cozy little beach paradise will know names like Headhunters, The Beachstore, and MnM, but you will discover even more stores as you browse around and find great beach items in mesh too! The best sailing boats in SL are also at the Expo, including the model very popular with my buds who love Motor Loon. Grab the free scuba gear, and get wet because under the sea are more incredible stores like Deep Seas, Cetological Museum, and Safe Waters Foundation that will put the happy mer-dance in your fins. So many of the stores I have loved over the years all in one place, plus freebies and Beachcomber hunt gifts too? Awesome! *raises glass of free drink sex-on-the-beach from Chez Moi in salute.* Well played, my fellow beach bums, well played.

UPDATE:  This is in the comments for the post at FFFM, but I post it here to other people incase you missed it:
Hello. The boat is what I won from Jp Collection. If I remember correctly, that one of the random drop ones. I have seen other people win a different boat. The Nemo was also free, a small racing boat. Another marina gave out a gift certificate you can use to collect a prize (a boat?). And the Water Trike was also free. .. But I want you get a boat! Head over the Tradewinds Yacht club. There is a fantastic free racing boat there. In fact, it's my favorite free boat. The Flying Fizz. Enjoy! ^^ http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dex/191/26/24
